To tablet or not to tablet
We have our big screen televisions, we’ve got our laptops, we have our smartphones and now we’ve got tablet PCs. The reason for this blog is based on my personal experience and the big question is, how practical are tablets really? As much as I inquire with people that own tablets, as to what they do with them, I invariably get a few answers. One of which is, to present things to people (photos) or read books. When I ask them have you ever done a presentation on your tablet?, the answer is – No. Given my own personal experience, I started asking myself, are tablet PCs really just a want versus a need? Could the Apple brand machine be creating this desire to own a tablet altogether?
Review of the Dell Venue Pro

First Dual Display Phone: Kyocera Echo
Kyocera Echo – What’s to come
Thought we have seen it all. The Kyocera Echo phone, manufactured by Japanese Company Kyocera Corp. has not one but two 3.5-inch, 800-by-480 LCD displays that will allow you to multitask at the touch of a finger.

The HP TouchPad Tablet
The HP TouchPad is another tablet computer about to enter the seemingly overcrowded tablet market, despite the fact that many of the tablets that continue to garner the lion’s share of buzz are yet to launch. Namely the BlackBerry Playbook, Motorola Xoom, Apple’s iPad2 and Samsung’s Galaxy S II. So what does HP have in store for us? Well, in short – a very well equipped tablet PC to compete with the likes of Apple – in some respects.

With a modest (in the age of dual core processor phones) 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU and a half-gig of storage in-built the HTC Salsa doesn’t immediately appear to be that different from most entry level smartphones.

Big is no exaggeration as this Android phone comes with super 4.3 inch display screen; touch screen yes but, no pull out keyboard like Desire Z. The aluminum unibody construction makes the look and feel of this phone very appealing ,so much so, the slab like design is one of a kind. The Desire HD like its predecessors runs on Android OS 2.2 Froyo and has the latest version of HTC Sense (Sense UI) packed with a list of enhancements that will surely impress you.
