Choosing the Best Tablet - iPad, Playbook, TouchPad or Android?

In early 2010, the user is not as much as this tablet. In fact, can be called nothing. Although Microsoft already has a tablet PC for almost a decade earlier, but the tablets made by Microsoft is quite heavy, relatively short battery life and experiencing problems in the desktop OS is not optimized for use in mobile tablet.

Then in April 2010, Apple was the one who opened the world with the launch of the iPad tablet 1. Apple took a big advantage with the first tablet was hers. Since then many companies are vying then follow Apple's success by co-producing tablets.

Nowadays you can find a variety of tablets that will meet your needs in mobile computing. Of the many on the market, it is most appropriate and should you choose? In this article Gopego will help you find the best tablets for you.

1. Apple iPad: the first and best

Label as 'the first tablet' should be recognized as one of the features iPad. It is very profitable for the iPad because when someone is thinking of going to buy a tablet, then that comes to mind is the iPad. At least that's what happened last year when Android tablets have become rampant as now.

Apple has had an iPhone since 2007 and it is a good form of training before a person using the iPad. If you have been able to operate the iPhone and iPod, then it will not have trouble with the iPad. In addition iPad also supported by Apple's App Store so that any application you need to be there. iPad also has long provided support by providing the widest choice of many media. For example, iTunes has support for music labels also film and television content.
 If you want a tablet with a wide screen but still lightweight and offers full application support as well sophistication, the iPad is in the top list you should look. But if you prefer a smaller tablet, require Adobe Flash or want to customize the settings by fiddling with the tablet, then the answer is not iPad.

iPad (+): Support a full application, media and accessories, solid user experience; stability of the whole; satisfactory performance.
iPad (-): Do not have a number of important features that many users want: (1) widgets (2) the notification that is often disruptive, (3) customization of the options.

 2. BlackBerry Playbook: masters Flash but where his email?

Research In Motion (RIM) took a bold step by not using the BlackBerry OS on their first tablet; PlayBook. BlackBerry OS does not develop and can not compete with other mobile OS such as IOS and Android. And RIM has made the right decision to not wear it on Playbook.

With the QNX OS, 7-inch tablet that brings many outstanding features such as multitasking and Flash support. Browsers are also able to work fast, so with the speakers and gestures.
But keep in mind third-party apps for Playbook is very hard to find and seem slow for join RIM. That is the main reason why the BlackBerry Playbook experienced sales movement like a snail. That's because the user becomes bored with the default application and it was hard to get other applications to Playbook.

The second is the lack Playbook in an email. PlayBoook released without the native email client, so for your email needs must access it from a browser. Indeed it could work well but every time you want to check email, you should open a browser and do a refresh: (. But if you also have a Blackberry phone is compatible, the Playbook can access email via bridge mode.

Playbook (+): perfect multitasking, Flash support, security is assured.
Playbook (-): very few applications, there is no native email.

3. HP TouchPad: very promising if you want to be patient waiting for the application
By using a WebOS platform, HP TouchPad is a new breakthrough in the tablet market. The shape is very similar to the iPad with the same display size, 9.7 inches. But it certainly will be a new experience for its user interface has not been as popular as IOS or Android.
  Broadly speaking, TouchPad with BlackBerry Playbook: lack of application support. However you will be very satisfied with the performance of browsing. E-mail settings are also very good although still slightly below Google. Multitasking is perfect as in the Playbook. Another advantage is the presence of Synergy; that unites the contact information from various sources and a solid messaging system that can integrate video Skype, Google Talk and other platforms in a single application. Notification system in webOS can be called the best compared with other OS features a unique sliding pane for display the email.

TouchPad (+): Can be called as an owner notification multitasking and best, option for wireless charging.
TouchPad (-): very new and is a pilot project so that improvements are still ongoing, has very few applications, the lack of media options.

4. Google Android tablets: many choices is not always good
 Android is not just a single tablet. By giving permission for hardware manufacturers for use the Android OS so now you can see there is the Android tablet 7 inches, 8.9 inches, 10 inches, some are even equipped with a 3D camera. There is also equipped with dock for USB ports, memory card slots and a full keyboard support. Manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola and even OEMs such as Huawei and ZTE are also released Android tablets.

Although Honeycomb is the first tablet platform from Google but it does not mean it is the perfect platform for tablet. In fact there are still stability problems such as crashes or applications that are not compatible.
   








However, with Android 3.1 stability problems have been sufficiently reduced and later with the Android 3.2 is said to be able to solve problems with applications. For some reason, application developers do not seem to rush to make applications for Honeycomb. The reason is simple: when the first release of Motorola through Xoom (Feb 2011), Honeycomb seem too forced and not fully ready for release.

But if you're used to using Gmail, Google Talk and Google Maps video calling, then all applications that can run perfectly in the Android tablet. New services such as Google Music and Google Videos to rent and stream the movie is also very promising. Multitasking on Android is also very effective.

Android (+): Integration with all Google services, lots of choice both in terms of hardware, brand, size and price display.
Android (-): Stability is a major problem, the media service is very limited but is currently still under development.

Broadly speaking there are four options to choose from tablets. Well, hopefully the above explanation Gopego can help you choose the most appropriate tablet:)
