There's a lot of talk about tablets right now. But what are they, what do they do and why would you even need one?WHAT IS A TABLET? Good question. Well, tablets are touchscreen devices that are all about the screen. They look a bit a like laptop, but with the keyboard part removed. The great thing about a tablet is that they are slim, light and slip into a bag, or even a pocket, with ease. HOW DO THEY WORK? If you own a touchscreen mobile, then you will be a pro with a tablet already. They are very simple to operate and run similar operating systems to your smartphone. Everything is controlled by your fingers through touch, from typing a document on a virtual keyboard, to playing a game or watching a video. Tablets connect to the web using Wi-Fi, plus some have extra connectivity in the form of SIM cards. This means you'll have an always-on 3G connection while out and about. WHAT DO THEY DO? With a tablet, everything is bigger and better than on your phone. You can - Check out movies in HD
- Stay in contact with friends via email, SMS, IM, social media and Skype...Some of them even make calls!
- Be entertained on your daily commute with your e-books
- Customise your life with the thousands of apps available for nearly everything your heart desires
- Whittle away the hours playing the thousands of games available
WHY DO I WANT ONE? You've read all that and you're still asking us? Tablets are about taking your digital life with you wherever you go, and seeing the full picture on a big, bright, high quality screen. Whether you're interacting with your friends, reading books, listening to music or browsing cyberspace, a tablet is the best medicine for having FUN! |
