Apple changed the computing game with its iPad. What is it about the
tablet that makes otherwise mature men grab it like it was sweet candy?
Let's get one thing straight: while a tablet is the new Jeeves and meant
to get a lot of stuff done, its is not meant to replace your laptop.
When it comes to storage capacity, for most people 8 GB to 16 GB is
quite enough. If you want to keep a lot of videos and movies on your
tablet, you need larger storage. Or something that accepts external
storage media like microSD cards.
As of now there are close to 90,000 tablet-specific applications for the
iPad. While there is no official figure from Google about Android OS
apps, guesstimates put the figure at some 3,500 apps (well, they're
primarily phone apps that also run comfortably on tablets).
A tablet's value to a user is enhanced by its 3G connectivity. What is India's experience?
