Top Reasons Why Tablet PCs Trump Laptops!: t mobile tablet

Whenever new technology applications emerge, predictions for their complete takeover of the marketplace, inevitably, follow. The appearance of the rugged tablet PC has attracted huge interest from sectors such as civil engineering, architectural design and wholesale/retail enterprises while ultra-mobile PCs, increasingly, are being seen making an extremely useful contribution to the medical, educational and scientific research sectors.

Early adoption of the handheld PC by media and marketing enterprises is not too surprising and their increasing presence in the office and general workplace is actually causing confusing questions to be asked. Inevitably, comparisons are made with the functionality of the smartphone, laptop and netbook and whether a particular business really needs a mobile tablet PC, or under the current economic climate, just hold on to their present technology devices.

The mobile tablet PC actually bridges the gap between laptops and mobile devices, providing the functionality of a laptop without some of the restrictive drawbacks. Early touchscreen tablets were simply basic laptops with a swivelling screen, which could be folded back onto the keyboard and used as a touchscreen.

The new generation of touchscreen tablets are slim, lightweight, easy to transport - and fast! Hence, the reason they are known as the ultra-mobile PC or UMPC! The onboard range of specialised software is custom designed specifically to run quickly on the operating system for seamless word processing, note taking, audio/video playback and touchscreen interaction. The result is quicker start-up times, ability to perform many tasks, a smooth user experience and a battery life significantly longer than even the most economical laptops.

Undoubtedly, a major advantage are the thousands of applications available! 'Apps' are one of the tablet's biggest selling points. Uniquely created software and generally low-cost or free, they offer specialised and direct site access functionality. Apps can be downloaded permanently onto the tablet screen for an exhaustive range of categories including today's business essentials such as instant messaging, email, video calls, note-taking and conference calls.

Although the operating system is often unable to run the latest software and games, or make native phone calls apart for certain apps allowing voice calls to be made over a Wi-Fi connection, the undoubted mobility of a handheld computer for the busy, always on the move, executive traveller is a key factor. Ability to use the vast range of business-oriented apps in a diverse range of environments more than makes up for certain drawbacks. Limited processing power means restrictions on using certain image manipulation software, an onscreen rather than physical keyboard, and slightly smaller screen sizes.

However, as the use of cloud computing becomes essential as the only real means to store, access and exchange ever larger bytes of data via the web, the mobile tablet PC will become an indispensable business tool. Smooth interaction with vast amounts of stored key data can be easily and quickly accessed at any time, in any location and under any working conditions. Already, the deskbound PC is being outsold by the mobile and it may only be a matter of time before the tablet PC does takeover as the No.1 technology device to rival the smartphone.
