Tablet PCs have become the must-have holiday gift. This year though, Apple's iPad is no longer the only tablet on the market with significant "wow factor". Here's a list of the best tablets available for Christmas.
With the increasing popularity of tablets in both the home and enterprise, many companies have released their own version of the handheld device; with the exception of Hewlett-Packard, who recently bowed out of the competition by discontinuing its TouchPad range. However, with so many options available, how does one find a tablet that is suitable to their needs?
If travel is part of your work agenda, then it’s vital that you explore the available tablets that are on the market today. Comparing specs is one thing, but finding relevance to your own specific needs is worth considering. Apple was the first “tab off the rank” with its ingenious iPad, but since then a bloom of competitors has emerged with new innovations. In February 2011, Motorola brought out the Xoom -- which has since given Apple a run for its money.
Nearly two months after it announced the first Xoom tablet to the Australian market, Motorola has followed it up with the release of a Wi-Fi-only version running Android 3.1 'Honeycomb'.
Optus has announced it is now offering the Motorola Xoom Android ‘Honeycomb’ tablet little more than a month after Telstra launched the device in Australia.
Motorola's Xoom tablet runs version 3.0 of Google's Android operating system — dubbed Honeycomb. Honeycomb is the first version of Android to be designed for use with tablets; previous versions were optimised for the smaller screens of smartphones.
To buy or not to buy? That's the question right now as the Motorola Xoom, Google's first Android Honeycomb tablet, gets ready to make its grand debut.
