2011 - The year of the tablet

2010 was the year of the netbook. 2011 will be the year of the tablet PC. We look at what users can expect.

Can't wait for the Blackberry PlayBook to be released

Not having a camera in the iPad now looks to be a major oversight.

Not having a camera in the iPad now looks to be a major selling point for the iPad2.

I recently got my Galaxy Tab and it is awsome!

Still think 2goPadPro is the best tablet, far out performs others including iPad, which should be at the bottom of the list.

Ya thats apple's marketing strategy in a nutshell, leave a feature out that everyone else already has and then ad it in the next version as a amazing selling point! Notion ink wasn't mentioned, their Adam is certainly worth taking a look at if you are interested in a tablet. Nvidia tegra dual core inside, sd card, HDMI, USB, pixel Qi. Going to be a great tablet and at a great price. Should be available just after CES.

Hhhmm, still not 100% convinced about the 2GoPad.
$799 is a little steep, and I havn't read the best reviews about Win7 touch screen support.

Still think I'll stick to the BB PlayBook, but that's my 2c

Playbook should be very awesome.

2009 sure, but calling 2010 the year of the netbook is a stretch of the imagination.

 

[Shayd]

2010 is more the year of the smartphone... the numbers really ramped up this year

Huh? States that Gingerbread has not been released. Was released last month and already ported to a number of devices that did not have native support. Even running it on my HD2. Hmmm....

As for tablet PC's. I love them. Bought 3 FlyTouch 2's for myself and my 2 daughters for XMas, a Cortex A8 8" for myself and just ordered (yesterday) a Cortex 8" 512MB from Pandawill with a capacitive screen. And for a fraction of the price of the mainstream brands. My latest (The 8" capacitive) was only $200. No need to spend large sums of cash to get these awesome devices.

Sadly I haven't seen any of the tabs in person ... would like to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab though. Mate of mine (trust his judgement in most things tech) has seen the Tab and was quite complementary of it.
