The battleground in technology over the tablet turf seems to be changing all of the time. Where once Apple seemed to completely dominate the industry with the iPad, companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Google and a host of others have all jumped into the fray to claim their own share of the market and are constantly trying to make changes and improvements in the tablets available to woo more users their way. While this may not have had an impact on the price point that many had hoped would happen with some tablets still running close to $1,000, it has led to the creation of tablets that are much more versatile in design and use than they ever were in the past.
Tablets Have Greater Capability than Ever
When tablets first hit the marketplace, the storage capacity of many of the devices was somewhat limited. While they were great for use, you had a very limited storage for music, applications, pictures and videos. That has changed a great deal in recent years with storage capacity allowing for larger files to be saved and many devices now offering the ability to store on a micro-SD card or even attach a thumb drive through a USB port, giving you much greater ability. The newer models available today also offer HD quality pictures like you would see on many televisions and computer monitors so that you can have a crisper and clearer image from your movies, videos and pictures. The cameras in tablets have also improved a great deal, giving you better quality pictures and more versatility with cameras on the front and back of the tablets so that you can easily do video conferencing on your tablet.
Tablets – No Longer Simply a Handheld Device
Tablets have changed enough over the recent years where they are no longer considered just a device that you might use to keep you entertained while you were commuting or sitting at home. Many today can easily be converted into something that is more like a laptop computer and have larger screens, wireless keyboards or even the use of a stylus so you can write directly on the screen to take notes or make changes. With the wireless capabilities having improved in the devices as well, it is like you have a computer with you at all times that can fold up to the size of a small portfolio, making it a great device for use by business personnel and students alike.
Whether you are looking for a new device to use for your work, for school or for something to have to watch a movie or play games with the kids, the tablets of today can provide you with everything that computers have offered in the past and more with greater customization and portability. As the technology continues to improve you are likely to see more uses involving tablets and continued improvements made to make the tablet and even better option for your home or business.
