Tablet Computing Set to have a big 2010

For years its been either a Laptop or a Desktop, with laptops picking up more and more steam as of late. Now it appears there is another contender entering the ring. The popularity of touchscreen cell phones has helped push tablet computing into the mainstream. The announcement of the Ipad has officially cemented tablets into the lime light and soon into your hands. They fall somewhere between cell phones and notebooks. You know you don't really need one, but hey they are shiny and relatively affordable at around $500.00. So in a couple of months you will probably find yourself at an apple store handing your money to Steve Jobs (iSatan), and I will probably be right next to you. There are however some other very solid, and in some cases better alternatives to Lord Jobs' latest offering. Here are some of the top tablets coming out this year.





Apple Ipad- 1GHz Apple A4 chip, 9.7 inch capacitive touchscreen LCD, 10 hour battery, 16-64gb hard drives, 1024x768 vga resolution, wifi and optional 3G, Price: $499-$829

  1. The iPad has a brushed aluminum back with a front made of Gorilla glass. It is one sexy ass machine. A simple look with only 1 button on the front of the device. Everything else is intuitively done by your touch. Apple has become the sort of fashion model in terms of how they aesthetically design their products. The iPad is no different.
