What is a tablet? A tablet computer, or a tablet, is a mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen rather than using a physical keyboard.
It often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard therefore can partially replace a computer.
First commercial portable electronic devices based on the concept appeared at the end of the 20th century. Microsoft attempted a relatively unsuccessful product line with Microsoft Tablet PC, which carved a niche market at hospitals and outdoor businesses. In 2010 Apple released the iPad based on the technology developed in their iPhone which caused a real stir when it launched. Now other manufacturers have released their own tablets, but can they compete.
The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-book readers now in their latest generation, which enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media via wireless networking. Also, there’s the BlackBerry PlayBook which also allows you to browse on the go with secure connection to any BlackBerry smartphone with access to 100’s of apps
So the crazy leaders in the tablet race are Apple with their iPad, nobody else has really figured out how to get a piece of this pie yet.
There is one injury you can get from using the preferred tablet... Dubbed 'ipadhand', users have complained of aches and pains in the hand they hold the device with and in their fingers after typing on and swiping the screen... be warned!!
