Tablet Pcs Review- MWC 2011 Roundup

---

pSo, strongMobile World Congressstrong MWC has shut it8217s doors for another year after what could possibly have been the most exciting for Tablet PCs! You may have seen our post yesterday bringing you the stronglatest and greateststrong bits of kit from the manufacturer of the moment, strongHTCstrong. If you haven8217t yet seen the post fear not, just scroll down a bit or you could just click here if you8217ve got that Friday feeling and are feeling a little lazy The announcements from HTC got us a little excited but not nearly as much as the strongTabletsstrong that we outed, read on for the skinny and our opinion on strongwhat8217s hot and what8217s not.strongph2strongHTC Flyerstrongimg classalignright sizemedium wpimage9322 titlehtcflyer srchttpblog.mobiles.co.ukwpcontentuploads201102htcflyer.jpg alt width300 height200 h2pFirst up, we have the HTC Flyer. The first tablet to be announced by the newly crowned handset manufacturer of the year. It8217s been in the rumour mill for quite some time now but it certainly seems as though it was strongworth the waitstrong here8217s what we know. It8217s a strong7 inch devicestrong, making it slightly smaller than the current King of the Tablets the iPad, however don8217t let it8217s size fool you. The Flyer will be sporting a strong1.5GHz SnapDragon Processorstrong, 1GB RAM, a 5 Megapixel rear camera, 1.3 Megapixel front facing camera and of course, will be released running strongAndroid 2.3 GingerBreadstrong. We had hoped it8217d be launching with the Tablet optimised version of HoneyComb but we8217re told that it will be receiving the update so no worries there!ppIt also incorporates something known as strongHTC Scribestrong, a 8217smart8217 stylus that can be used to annotate and edit emails, webpages and photos. Now, you8217re probably thinking that stylus8217 went out of fashion along with the unresponsive resistive screen technology they were paired with quite some time ago, but the HTC Scribe is stronga new breed of stylusstrong, one that promises to make the stylus cool again, working in perfect harmony with an strongultra responsive and touch friendly capacitive screenstrong.ppstrongClick Herestrong to see a video of the HTC Flyer in action.ph2Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1img classalignright sizemedium wpimage9323 titlegalaxy tab 10.1 srchttpblog.mobiles.co.ukwpcontentuploads201102galaxytab10.jpg alt width286 height176 h2pThe Galaxy Tab 10.1is the strongsecond tablet from Samsungstrong and is the bigger brother to the current 7inch Galaxy Tab. As the name suggests, this new version has a strong10.1inch screenstrong making it a touch bigger than the 9.7 inch screen on the iPad. Unlike the HTC Flyer, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will strongship with Android Honeycombstrong and also boasts an strong8 megapixel rear facing camerastrong as well as a 2 megapixel front facing camera for video calling, or looking at yourself if a mirror just isn8217t cool enough.ppWe8217re also told that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have a pretty stronghuge batterystrong, 6,860 mAh to be exact. To give you an idea of just how large that is, the average smartphone has around 1,500 mAh. This is good news though, battery times should be strongmore than plentiful for even hardcore users.strong The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is said to weight in a just shy of 600g too, which isn8217t half bad considering that8217s stronglighter than an iPad.strongppstrongClick Herestrong to see the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in action.ph2LG Optimus Padimg classalignright sizemedium wpimage9324 titlelgoptimuspad srchttpblog.mobiles.co.ukwpcontentuploads201102lgoptimuspad.jpg alt width300 height200 h2pNext up, we have strongLG8217s first entrystrong into the Tablet market with the Optimus Pad and this promises to be something special. The Optimus Pad will be strongthe first 3D tabletstrong that will be able to display 3D imagery and videos as well as strongcapture and record in 3Dstrong too, oh we should probably mention that the 3D video recording will be 720p HD quality too thanks to the strongtwin 5 megapixelstrong rear facing cameras. Powering this 3D touting monster is a strong1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 chipsetstrong which should keeps things fluid and smooth under any load.ppThe Optimus Pad boasts an strong8.9 inch screenstrong, putting it in between the HTC Flyer and Galaxy Tab 10.1 in terms on screen real estate and also has a front facing 2 megapixel camera.ppstrongClick Herestrong to see the Optimus Pad in action.ph2HP TouchPadimg classalignright sizemedium wpimage9325 titlehptouchpad srchttpblog.mobiles.co.ukwpcontentuploads201102hptouchpad.jpg alt width300 height200 h2pThe next tablet is our first nonAndroid entry and comes from HP, who recently aquired a little known company called Palm the makers of the strongPalm Prestrong. You may not have heard about the Pre nor ever seen one, but it was a piece of kit we felt didn8217t get the justice it deserved certainly the strongproprietary WebOS strongsoftware it runs anyway which we felt was actually very, very good. The recent aquisition by HP can only be beneficial and it certainly looks as though it8217s paid off, with the announcement of this, the TouchPad.ppIt has a strong9.7 inch screenstrong, the same as the iPad but unlike the iPad it strongsupports Adobe Flash strongcontent meaning that the TouchPad will play nicely with any website you want to visit. We8217re told the TouchPad will be available in two models strongWiFi only and a WiFi and 3G strongmodel.strong strongUnder the bonnet, you8217ll find a strong1.2GHz processorstrong and a 6,300 mAh battery and there8217s also a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera to boot.ppThe TouchPad8217s real party piece though, is a little piece of tecnology that was first devloped on the Pre, strongWireless Charging!strong The way it does it, is that you8217ll have a magnetic dockcradle known as the Touchstone that you can place the TouchPad in and thanks to the strongconductive rear panelstrong, will charge wirelessly. Note The Touchstone does require being plugged into a powersourceppstrongClick Herestrong to see the Touch Pad in Action.ph2Motorola Xoomimg classalignright sizemedium wpimage9326 titlexoom srchttpblog.mobiles.co.ukwpcontentuploads201102xoom300x192.jpg alt width300 height192 h2pThe last tablet we want to talk about, is the Motorola Xoom pronounced 8216zoom8217. We know it leaked quite a while before MWC but it8217s still definitely worth a mention since it was the first Tablet to be strongconfirmed with Adnroid Honeycombstrong. The Xoom has a strong10.1 inch displaystrong, Adobe Flash support and front and rear facing cameras to name but a few of the specs.ppPowering the Xoom is a strongdualcore Tegra 2 chipsetstrong which will allow strongfull 1080p playbackstrong and will likely become the processor of choice in the majority of up and coming Smartphones. There8217s also an accelerometer and a gyroscope thrown in for good measure.ppstrongClick Herestrong to see the Xoom in action.ph2Conclusionh2pSo there we have it, these are the 5 most anticipatedstrong strongTablet PCs to be demo8217d at MWC. Deciding which would be our 8216pick8217 out of these has been a gruelling decision, with so much on offer from each tablet it really is down to personal needswants and more likely will be decided by the price attached to each. If we had to make a decision and chose which we8217re most looking forward to, it8217d be the strongHTC Flyerstrong simply because HTC phones have absolutely dominated the Android Smartphone market and we8217re intruiged to see how the manufacturing prowess carries over into a tablet. Second to the Flyer would have to be the strongOptimus Padstrong, purely for it8217s 3D capabilities however until 3D technology is refined and mastered, it8217s liekly that it8217ll be a little clunky and buggy. Hopefully LG will prove us wrong.ppDo you have a different favourite or even if you agree with us, stronglet us know why in the comments sectionstrong below and don8217t forget to strongregister you intereststrong to stay up to date with the latest news, reviews, prices and release dates.pa targetblank relnofollow hrefhttpblog.mobiles.co.ukmobilenewstabletpcsreviewThe UK Mobile Phone Bloga
