pTablet PCs are set to revolutionize our mobile computing
experience through their convergence of IT and telecoms.ppMobile
phones have been getting increasingly sophisticated with
introduction of the Smartphone in the last few years. We are now
used to browsing the internet, listening to music and answering
emails on the move. Their only shortcoming is perhaps their small
screen size which gives us less than ideal browsing experience
which is why tablet PCs have been received with such
excitement.ppimg classalignleft titlesamsung galaxy tab

height235 What has happened to spur the growth in tablets is a
mixture of technology improvements and consumer demand for on the
move computing.ppOn the hardware side processor speeds, Ram memory
capacities have followed Moore8217s law and overtaken what was
previously possible for mobile devices enabling multitaskingstrong
strongsimilar to desktop PCs and laptops.ppMost tablet devices run
similar operating systems as their Smartphone counter parts with
some using the Google Android tablet operating system and Apple
using iOS for the iPad. This makes the learning process from
Smartphone to tablets minimal.ppInternal storage capacities in
small devices have also made great strides via flash memory
available in previously unthinkable capacity of up to 64 GB. This
means we can carry more digital photos, videos, files and other
media files in a single device.ppThe large Multi touch display
screens also give a much better browsing experience by enabling
autorotation between landscape and portrait views, resizing and
zooming in. The virtual keyboard removes the need to carry a clunky
wired physical keyboard.ppConnecting to the internet anywhere at
anytime is a major feat of the new technology with improved 3G
wireless enabling connection to GSM 3G data networks and wifi
enabled technology connection via hotspots.ppAnother important
improvement is the long battery life with some tablets boasting
figures like 10 hours of video, 140 hours of audio playback and one
month on standby.ppIf technology is the enabler for tablet PCs then
consumer demand will be the fuel for the new technology. Common
uses include reading eBooks and newspapers, watching movies,
listening to music, playing games and navigating via Google maps
and satnav apps.ppConventional PC uses include surfing the
internet, answering emails and running complete office suites on
the move. Some tablets come with built in digital Cameras allowing
taking of photos and videos or making face to face phone calls via
front facing cameras.ppWith all the technology improvements and
consumer thirst for computing on the move we shall wait to see if
2011 will indeed be the year where IT and telecoms converge.pa
