The age of the Tablet has truly arrived and with it new challenges too.
The iPad is not alone anymore either – now there is the Motorola Zoom, the Blackberry Playbook, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Dell Streak – plus more to come including the Toshiba Tablet and the HP TouchPad. Also, there are some big online stores, such as PickEgg, offers some other brands of tablet PCs cooperating excellent Google Android system and sold at very good prices.

It’s pretty clear that the screen-based, two dimensional world that so many teenagers – and a growing number of adults – choose to inhabit is producing changes in behavior. Attentions spans are shorter, personal communication skills are reduced and there’s a marked reduction in the ability to think abstractly.

This games-driven generation interprets the world through screen-shaped eyes. It’s almost as if something hasn’t really happened until it’s been posted on Facebook, Bebo or YouTube. Tablets and the way that content can be manipulated with swipes and pinches, are changing our surfing and computing habits – even changing the way we work.

Yes, maybe more and more people want to own a tablet PC; however, ipad is not a good choice.
I just got an iPad2; I actually waited for 6 months for the much anticipated updated version
I am absolutely thrilled with it – BUT and there is a big B U T – I hadn’t realized how much of an impact the lack of flash support would affect my browsing. This is a well documented problem that may or may not be fixed by Apple in the future.

This came to be a problem when I was researching vacation options. I was browsing, looking at hotel, airline and car hire options and here is the BUT – I had to give up on some sites because flash based photo galleries and videos just don’t show up.

If you can’t see images of a possibly suitable hotel are you going to book a room on that site, hmmm – don’t think so …If photo galleries or videos don’t display on your real estate site are future clients going to stick around – again I don’t think so.

This is no small deal as over 15 million iPads were sold last year and over 1,000,000 were sold the first week of the iPad2 launch.

So, the competition will not be unwelcome and there are so many kinds of tablet PC for you to choose. Everyone’s needs are different. Unfortunately no one has designed the perfect device. You can get a Motorola Xoom tablet for Verizon. Not only does it support Adobe Flash 10.2 but it’s 4g upgradable! If you want to save money, so choose one from the Chinese online stores, there is a Apad 0.3MP 8-inch VIA WM8650 800MHZ 256MB/2GB Google Android 2.2 MID tablet PC, sold at the price $110.99 on PickEgg. I think there is no better value one than this.
