Tablets have become Personal Computers of Convenience

Though laptops or net books are quite common in today’s society, Tablet PCs are fast becoming the new age personal computers for their convenience, portability and functioning. When we analyse the tablet personal computer market in the United Kingdom, we realize that the entire market is dominated up to almost ninety five per cent by Apple with their iPad and iPad2 as per the latest market research. The latter was introduced just a few months back in the UK market. This is not at all a surprise as there are only a handful of other Tablet PCs that are available in the UK market as per Techradar UK. There is a hint of competition in the air to Apple with a recent launch of Windows 7 Tablet PC in UK. Samsung has also entered the market with its 7” Galaxy Tab in UK. Some analysts are predicting that in the next few months, new Android based Tablet PCs are likely to hit the UK market before Christmas this year. The Android Operating System Tablet PCs make up a very small percentage of the total global market. An Android Tablet PC is a wireless personal computer that is little bigger than a cell phone and a little scaled down than a net book. iBUY247 is a popular seller of all brands of Tablet PCs in UK. Their current popular brands in Android Tablet PCs are the ib701, PCX5A and PC ZT-180. Acer also has come out with its Android Tablet PC for UK’s hi-tech gadget market. The model is Iconia Tab A500 with specifications of 1GHz dual core processor and nVidia GeForce video graphics processor with ultra low power consumption. But, it is more expensive than Apple iPad2. iBUY247 is also selling Windows-based Tablet PCS with models like PCX9, P10P and N737i being the popular ones. In addition, the other brands that are available in the UK market are the `Winslate 1’ that is with a display of 1024x600 pixels and `Winslate 2’ which is an ultra thin capacitive tablet at only 14mm, offering a high screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The WinPad Ultra is the biggest in rugged design for portable Windows Tablets. With screen sizes of 7” or above and sufficient processing power, Tablet PCs offer a computing experience with functions that are comparable to net books with a growing number of applications.
