OK, so now that I'm sold on tablet computers I'm definitely in the market to buy one.

During my research I found the nice video below. If you're looking for a good inexpensive tablet computer you might want to take a look at the brand new My Tab tablet from Optus. Check it out:

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

Does the Galaxy Tab work well?

The next ultra-cool gadget I plan to buy is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a new tablet PC that's set to explode on the scene in 2011. According to many industry experts the Galaxy will be the biggest and best alternative to the Apple iPod. This feature-packed mobile computing device is ultra sleek and actually smaller than the iPad, plus with the Google Android OS it's designed to be able to do more things (and more things better). I'm not an Apple fan but I do really want an IPad-like portable computer to carry around with me. As usual, I've been looking for good reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Tab before I buy it. Here's a nice one I just found...

Samsung Galaxy Tab - A Head Turing New Tablet Device Which Offers The Full Package

Since the release of the Apple iPad, several manufacturers have concentrated their efforts on developing rival tablet devices. One of these is Samsung, who has recently released the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

This sleek and stylish looking device is somewhat smaller than Apple's rival device at 190.1x 120.5x 12 mm which is ideally sized for portability whilst still being able to take advantage of the large 7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen. This is great for viewing photos and videos as well as gaming and using the user interface in general. This is due to a pixel configuration of 600x 1024 which is able to display up to 16million dazzling and clear colours. The highly customisable and intuitive TouchWiz UI is installed as Samsung's custom Android interface.

In order to view and operate the screen in both portrait and landscape modes, there is a built-in accelerometer sensor which automatically senses the angle at which the unit is held, and built as the contents of the screen accordingly. Another innovative feature called Swype is also included. This is installed on several of the manufacturers' previous mobile phones and operates in conjunction with the onscreen QWERTY keyboard. It allows users to slide their finger from one key to the next without having to take their finger off the screen, in the manufacturers claim this can offer a 30% improvement to text entry speeds.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab also operates as a standalone mobile phone, unlike the Apple iPad. This relies on both EDGE & GPRS to keep it connected to the appropriate cellular networks, whereas access to the Internet relies on both 3G and Wi-Fi where available. Both of these options allow for great browsing experience, which is enhanced by Adobe Flash 10.1 support which allows users to take advantage of multimedia elements of websites such as games and videos. The full package of Google features is included to do this running the Android 2.2 Froyo OS. Additional connectivity features include Bluetooth and micro USB as well as GPS with A-GPS support which allows location based functions to operate.

Another advantage that the Samsung Galaxy Tab has over its iPad rival is a 3.15 mega pixel digital camera with Autofocus and LED flash. This also doubles up as a video camera offering an alternative to taking still images. There is a second camera located on the front of the device which operates at 1.3 mega pixels and can be used for video calling or as a webcam.

There are 16 GB and 32 GB models available, meaning each one can potentially store thousands of files and various formats, the their media files or documents thanks to the included media player and Thinkfree Office compatibility (which supports MS Office documents). Users also have the option to utilise the integrated microSD card slot which can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB, allowing him further storage can be attained.

With features such as the impressive touch screen, full HD video playback, advanced Internet browsing and productivity tools and powerful 1 GHz processor being the tip of the iceberg, it is clear to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab becoming very popular indeed.

Nextbook Tablet Computer Reviews

We need Nextbook reviews!

Just as the tablet computer/e-reader wars are heating up with the release of the of the new NOOK Color a new contender has jumped into the ring: the Nextbook "Next2" Android tablet computer. The little gadget packs a LOT of features for a pretty small amount of money -- about $199 for the end of 2010 -- and is getting lots of attention online. People (including myself) are looking for good reviews and user opinions to find out if the tablet actually works and is truly a more "high value" buy than the other popular tablet and e-reader devices out there (ex. Apple iPad, Nook, Amazon Kindle, etc.).

The Nextbook has a 7 inch TFT color display, 2GB of memory (with an SD card slot to add as much extra memory as you want), Wi-Fi connectability, photo viewer, MP3 player, app support, and access to Borders Online Bookstore. I comes pre-loaded with 25 ebooks which is pretty dang cool.

Do you have a review, question, or comment about the new E FUN Nextbook tablet? Please leave them in the space below. Thanks!

Toshiba Folio 100 Tablet Review

I finally just bought myself a new Toshiba Satellite laptop because my old Asus netbook was close to dying on me. I really like the new notebook PC. While shopping for it I came across the new Toshiba Folio tablet PC. It seems like a really cool device that should give the Apple iPad a lot of competition in the near future. I started looking for info and reviews of the Toshiba Folio 100 and here's one that I found:

Toshiba Folio 100 Tablet Review

To be released in time for the Christmas present buying frenzy, the Toshiba Folio 100 will be a perfect gift for those who want a Tablet computer for their gift. Toshiba have been working away quietly, trying to produce a superb Tablet that will be affordable to many and have a great operating system and be exactly what consumers want.

Toshiba have made their Folio 100 with a screen that dwarfs that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab and is even bigger than the Apple iPad. At 10.1 inches the screen size is ideal for watching widescreen films as it is big enough for their 16:9 dimensions.

The Toshiba Folio 100 is similar is thickness and weight to that of the Apple iPad and is very durable and robust.

The Folio 100 screen has pinch zoom capability like a lot of smart phones which makes surfing the web interactive and convenient. The Folio 100 Tablet will display all types of video files and Flash animations incredibly well and will be fast as it houses a dual core Tegra 2 processor which will make it a fast system.
In addition to all this the Folio 100 includes Androids newest operating system the FroYo, this will provide the Toshiba Folio with access to over a 100,000 apps that are for the Android phones.

There is an internal memory of 16GB which is really quite punchy and has an expected 7 hour battery life.
The version of the Folio 100 Tablet due to be released for the Christmas market will only have Wi-Fi but later models will have 3G included.

So, if you are looking to venture into the new Tablet market and want a device that makes it enjoyable to watch films and browse the internet then this could be the device for you. It's also seeming like it will go on sale for a lot less than the other tablets which may well make it a much more viable option for many more people.
