Next Generation of Tablets


If you don't get a new tablet for Christmas, it may not be a bad thing. The first quarter of 2012 should see several improvements in these devices. TabletPCReview is reporting on these upgrades. The biggest is the move from dual-core to quad-core processors. Both of the leaders in the $450+ field, Apple (iPad3) and Samsung (Galaxy), will have new hardware and operating systems soon.

Then there's the lower priced options under $200, Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, if all you want is video/book content and internet access this might be the better choice.

I'd like to see a Tablet designed expressly for students (high school, college, life). Here's my shopping list. What would YOU add?
  • 4G option
  • Note taking software
  • Homework / Calendar software
  • Shared phonebook, textmsg, voicemail with my phone
  • Digitized Pen (for classes that need illustrations in the notes)
  • Cloud storage for electronic handouts
  • GPS for campus maps
