How to Buy the Right Tablet?

Since the introduction of iPad in 2010, different brands of tablet PCs have been launched in the market. Though iPad wasn't the first tablet ever developed, the successful marketing and sleek design made it popular quickly among gadget lovers. At present, about a dozen of various manufacturers are producing tablet computers. With so many options available, anyone can find it hard to choose a right tablet. So, what are the things to consider while buying a tablet? Here are five simple tips to help you choose the right tablet computer.

How are you going to use it?

If you are looking for a tablet simply to watch movies, check e-mail, or browse the Web, any model will do the job for you. But if you are planning to use your tablet for some specific purpose, you can easily narrow down the options. Will your tablet be mainly for personal use, school or work? Do you plan to utilize your tablet for plenty of movie watching or gaming, or is it for some general use, such as Facebook, checking e-mail or browsing the Web? Once you find answers to these questions you will be able to find a right tablet with proper screen size and operating system.

Compare Operating System and Apps

Figure out which operating systems do you prefer to use. Some of the common operating systems are Apple iOS, Windows, Android, and BlackBerry's QNX. While QNX is specific to the PlayBook and iOS is specific to iPad, Windows and Android operating systems can be found on different brands of tablets. Also check out Apple OS X Mountain Lion Vs Windows 8.

Compare Features

Different models of tablet come with different features. Even if you go for iPad 2, you will need to select from a 3G model and a standard Wi-Fi model. Then you will have a choice of 64GB, 32GB or 16GB of storage. After then you will need to decide the color, black or white. If you plan to go with Windows or Android tablet, you will need to compare the features of various models. Look at specifications like add-on accessories, cameras, processing speed, storage capacity, 3G or 4G or Wi-Fi access, and battery life. You may also want to take a look at some accessories like external keyboards, speakers, remote controls, wall mounts and stands.

Compare Appearance and Size

Even if you are planning to buy the tablet online, it is better to go to the store and have a closer look at the device you are considering. Make sure about the size of tablet you want. The screens of tablets range from 7 inches to 10 inches, and weight can vary from 1 pound to 2.5 pounds. Go for the one that you feel right to you. Do the controls and the case feel sturdy and comfortable in your hands? How are the virtual keyboard and the touch screen? Also don't forget to compare the screen resolutions and brightness.

Consider Price

You are in great shape if your desired model falls within the budget range you have set. But if that is not the case, make sure you compare Androids to Androids or Apples to Apples in terms of size, Internet access, processing speed and storage, as tablets within the similar product line can come in different performance levels and models.

It's Like Finding Cash in the Attic

If you dig around at home in the wardrobe, look in that old chest of drawers in the spare room, or dig around in the garage you're bound to find at least one old mobile phone which has been discarded by you or the family. If you can find any (and you're not alone) it is like finding cash in the attic, because you can now get paid cash for having them recycled.

How Can I Profit from My Old Smartphone or Mobile Phone Handset?

Now consumers can sell Blackberry Bold 9900 or other handsets which are no longer required and get cash back for the trouble. With millions of new handsets coming onto the market every year, there is a rapidly increasing number of handsets that are redundant. They are made redundant, not because they are out of date, rather because they have fallen out of fashion and many of us need to have the latest must-have gadget in our hands.

Now, for every mobile phone handset or Smartphone which is surplus to requirements, your old gadget can become someone else's new 'gadgetry' thing. If your old phone that you no longer need is in good working order, it will, after a service and a little TLC, become someone else's treasured new plaything. If the phone has seen better days, component parts such as keypads, screens, microphones, and speakers as well as circuit boards and batteries can be recycled as spare parts for other damaged or unworkable phones.

If the old, redundant handset you have is completely battered and beyond repair, you will still get paid for it. Old electronic equipment which has to be disposed of nowadays is broken down to component parts, and as much as 95 percent of every piece of electronic equipment can be reclaimed.

Electronic equipment such as phones, gaming handsets, TV sets, and radios, to mention just a few examples of electronic equipment, all contain toxic elements as part of the manufacturing process. Arsenic, lead, cadmium, bromine, and mercury are required for them to work effectively and efficiently. Additionally, there are trace amounts of gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals.

How Much Will I Get Paid?

How much you'll potentially get paid is a difficult question to answer without all the details on hand. As a general rule of thumb, the younger and more recent the handset, the better the sate of repair, and if it is in working condition, the more it is worth to the recycling company. But don't fret if your handset is beyond repair or battered about; you'll still get a few bob for it, and it won't cost you a penny to send it away because it will be collected by courier from an address of your choice at their expense.

All you do is make the arrangements, and once it is in their hands you'll get nice cash deposit in the bank. From as little as a few quid to a three-digit figure, you really should take advantage of finding 'cash in the attic'.

Graham Green is a freelance writer and gadget groupie and has recently been investigating how consumers can sell Blackberry Bold 9900 handsets and others to make a little money on redundant technology.

RIM's handsets won't be getting BlackBerry 10 until later this year

RIM's handsets won't be getting BlackBerry 10 until later this year, but once they do, the PlayBook will be next in line.

That's according to Rob Orr, RIM's VP of product management, who confirmed the news to TechRadar. "We've said publicly a number of times that our first BB10 handset will be available towards the end of 2012, and that's still firmly the case," Orr said.

"At some point after the launch we'll bring BB10 to our PlayBooks, yes." Orr apparently didn't get any more specific than that, though he did mention that RIM has seen a spike in updates to PlayBook OS 2.0, which came out just last month.

According to the exec, about 50 per cent of all users made the jump on the day it came out, which just goes to show how great e-mail is.
