What a Successful Tablet PC Need to Have


In the past, we buy the computer hardware configuration is of most importance, and now is the application of our most valued experience. It is stick to this route, Apple can achieve success today. Although the new product in current CES Tablet PC is popular, but who is behind the real winner?
1.Standing life. We know, iPad can literally use in 10 hours, and in our recent evaluation of a variety of tablets, but very few can be used for 5 hours. The higher configuration is, life is often shorter. Therefore I believe that only those who life is more than 8 hours is eligible to challenge the iPad.
2. application store.This is an important reason for the success iPad is Apple's core competence lies. Make money by selling hardware, the time has passed, and Apple's App Store will not only get rich by virtue of income, its greater significance lies in creating a new chapter in the software industry. If a Tablet PC can not be sustained access to a large number of useful and interesting applications, then it is difficult to lure users from the iPad side.
In addition, there are critical Tablet PC portable (including power adapter), heat dissipation and noise control and other factors, you always want a day carrying a "brick" walk around it, can not tolerate hot The back of the fuselage or the whirring of the fan noise it. While these brands of products in the field is rare, but we do see in products in some of these copied unsatisfactory design.
After the above conditions are met, we should discuss this article summed up these standards, we online wholesale electronics shop
will summarize them as follows:10-inch and 7 inch screen is a balance between portability and
viewing comfort of the gold size;Proprietary systems vendors who do not, most will choose Android system will take into account a small number of Windows system;From a global perspective, 3G + WiFi will be a combination of standard Tablet PC;Most SSD solid state drive plate will be configuration, the mainstream in 2011 for the 32GB capacity;Vendors selling model line average price of 3,500 yuan, not higher prices with more than 5,000 yuan model. wholesale electronic shop online

BlackBerry Tablet Looks Beautiful…

Some people say that Tablet PC is a toy, could be that this "toy " is hidden behind a huge market, since Apple iPad the market, known as the killer of a few products, but sales, almost shoulder to shoulder with them is not a product can be. For consumers concerned, hardware and software presents the user experience, branding and cost control in large part determines the propensity to buy, based on their own Tablet OS System $ 499 wholesale electronic shop online BlackBerry iPad PlayBook become a new killer, and there is news that , will support Android applications through App Player to run most of the Android software tools, has aroused the concern of BlackBerry enthusiasts.
Sources, the BlackBerry App Players PlayBook will support Android 2.3 system, application, and research and development of the system mainly for mobile phones, although the Android 2.2 has been adopted by a number of Tablet PC, but Android 3.0 relative performance compared to the general user experience, such as the lack of Reasonable UI interface design, two-column menu, and tabbed web browser, etc., truly representative of the strategy Honeycomb Google Tablet PC is the starting point, although the lack of applications, but with Motorola, Asus, Acer, Toshiba Distribution and other first-line brand, I believe the developer's attention will be transferred.online wholesale electronics shop
  Obviously, the BlackBerry has not kept up Android 3.0 R & D team first departure, chose the old version, the one hand, and Google may be developing a new system release time lag between the other reason is to make up their own PlayBook want Android application types and Lack of quantity with a strong lineup of Apple software iOS compete. But with the advance of Honeycomb products, the future battlefield must be iOS developers and Android 3.0, can be said that if only remain in the "phone system ", then the future App Player practicality and its App World (news that Android applications will be In the platform) of revenue will face significant limitations.
   On the whole, PlayBook the App Player more concern for the "Play" of users, office use Tablet OS, entertainment options Android, Blackberry Tablet PC offers a variety of options, looks very attractive, but it needs attention That, although nowadays PlayBook been sold, but the App Player will be released in the summer may be, Android under the operation mode, compatibility and user experience, no conclusions, all-around performance of course looks beautiful, but the market was yet to be verified.
