It's been a quite long time that Tablet or Tablet Computers that has entered into the market. But let me clarify one thing, for me Tablet is not Asus's Eeepad Transformer but iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Tablet for me is something that can manage everything - be my Mobile Phone, it should allow me to watch HD Videos as well it should be capable of docking the pen drive in it. And I want this whole package to be affordable ~ $200-$250 but NO i just couldn't find such a great deal yet :-(
iPad - I just love the body, color and the feeling when you hold it in hand! It's just superb :-) The OS is fantastic, the app store is huge (But they AngryBird cost you here, noway!!) I have never used Sony's headphones or the music players so for me Apple is the Beast when it comes about Sound :-) I know you people might be thinking, what an A$$ - saying Apple is the Beast ;-)
But the major Turn Off for me about this Sexy white Gadget is - I can't insert the Sim Card in it and try calling somebody. For me a Tablet should have the calling facility, yes I need IT!
Why would you carry an iPad and iPhone at a time, where in the Tablet should have reduced the dependency on a Mobile Phone, I Strongly feel so! I understand that these Tablet/Phone manufacturers wouldn't like if people would start buying a Tablet instead of a phone but this is what a Consumer wants in today's Technological and always Connected World.
Carrying the tablet where ever you go is a pain,Yes I understand that! You don't need a tablet to check the emails/chat with colleagues or friends, a phone definitely can satisfy the need. But then I feel there is something called as User Experience - A User would definitely like to read the email on a 7" or 9" tablet screen, he would love to use the multi-touch Display compared to the 3" or 4" screen of a mobile phone.
Just compare the experience of Video Calling from a mobile with the one by using an iPad (Skype via Wifi)
Many of my friends say to me - how would you receive a voice call from a tab, it's so uneasy to hold the 7" or 9" Tab to your ear. I would say most of the time you can do it by using a hands free but yes there can be some scenarios where it's not possible to use the hands free. But I feel the probability is less! I own a good Bluetooth handsfree by Dell. I've used a Samsung tab and the Dell handsfree and it works flawless!
The biggest problem with Tab that I feel is - They are BIG. You can't just carry them but you have to CARRY them carefully :-) They aren't that much handy! That's the only and the biggest concern when it comes to buying a Tab :-)
Though price is another concern but if at all the price of an iPad would fall again below $250 :-P I would surely pick one :-)
Another tab that I often think of, 'Let's give it a shot' is Blackberry Playbook. In India the 16GB comes in around $250. It has a USB 2.0 port too! A nice BB OS but again the same problem - I can't call from the Playbook :-( I'll have to enable the WiFi and then by using some App i would have to call to the other mobile phone - this seriously Sucks! Though it isn't cool if you compare it's design with iPad but I can manage ;-) After all it's a good deal in $250.
Then comes the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab which has everything that I want - I can call from it, I can surf and watch movies on it straight from a youtube too! Just Check this out - Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7
It's a XXX BOMB, i must admit this! Wonderful device and finally a My Type of Tablet but this beast would cost heavy on the pocket - it's around $700 :-(
But I will surely buy a Tab ;-) My WishList has been updated already!
