The arrival of fall brings with it the Holiday season. That’s when people start considering purchasing items for gifting. Tablet computers have become among the most sought after gadgets that are considered by the people who intend to purchase something to present as a gift to their loved ones. The tablet market has grown remarkably with the companies moving forward in the production. Apple is still the leader but other companies have paced up the production to reduce the margin of competition. But the field of tablets has shrunk in this year. Google is backing off Android tablets and Apple has not updated iPad Pro in 2019. In this scenario, it remains important for the customers to spend as little as possible. If you want to go with the cost effective options, you can consider purchasing a casual iPad, a less expnsive Fire tablet, or Microsoft Surface. The latest iPad (10.2-inch, 7th generation, 2019) This entry level tablet comes with an increased screen size, improved battery performance, and the support to the keyboard which can be connected via Smart Connector. While this iPad is equipped with an older processor, it performs really well. The iPad Mini (2019) The Mini iPad got refreshed in March 2019 to get the upgrades like support to Apple Pencil and an A12 Processor which makes the tablet performing even better as compared to the bigger 10.2-inch basic iPad. The better processing capability makes this tablet quite appropriate for gaming but its smaller screen size might not be an appealing factor for many of the users. Kindle Fire 7 (2019) This tablet belongs to the category of most affordable tablets. The Fire 7 tablet is a solid budget tablet which can be used for video streaming, gaming and running kids apps. While Fire’s ecosystem is quite limited as compared to that of Android, lower price makes up for this shortcoming. Nevertheless it is not quite bigger drawback when you consider the purpose of this tablet. Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019) This 10-inch tablet offers major upgrade over the 7 and 8-inch Fire tablets. And the best part is that this tablet is available at a price of $150, or even less. You can charge its battery with the help of USB-C. While Surface Pro 7 is in the market, the Surface Pro 6 is still quite good choice. You may also be able to get a deal which includes a detachable keyboard, something that turns this tablet into a laptop. You can use it as a tablet as well as a full computer. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 If you want to spend some extra bucks and want to get something that stands out, you can safely consider buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. With this tablet, you get the options of attaching an optional keyboard with trackpad, and support to the connection to monitors using Samsung's DeX technology.

From the perspective of technological evolution, 2010 can be seen as the year that kick-started the concept of smart devices in a more meaningful manner. In that year, the most considerable launches had been iPad, Xbox Kinect, Android, and Antennagate. This evolution of technology might feel gradual from a number of perspectives but if you look back to the time 5 years ago, you will see a great difference of technology between what had been available at that time and what we get to see now. And if you extend this time duration to a decade, the difference of technology becomes even more dramatic. iPad and the tablet revolution Who would have thought about some something with a capability to blur the line between a laptop and a smartphone? That is exactly what you can get with a tablet. Although Apple is widely regarded as the pioneer of this concept which got more popular after 2010 with the launch of iPads, the company that started working on this concept is Microsoft which prepared its first tablet computer back in 2005. However, this computer was not a major hit. What’s more interesting here is that the tech industry was not quite excited about the launch of iPad because most of the people considered it a bigger version of the iPhone. While tablet computers, no matter from whichever the manufacturer, seem quite promising, none of them were able to replace the laptop completely. And if we look at the current scenario, laptop is still the reliable option because of the processing capability it holds. The stronger tablets with detachable keyboard and support to the mouse functions are available today but they are good only for the situations when you want to leave the laptop at home and take the smaller and lightweight computer on your work trip. IPhone 4 While iPhone has been the signature smartphone right from the start, the real revolution in this technology had been possible with the launch of iPhone 4. The major changes made in the 4th generation of iPhone were retina screen and a selfie camera. The high resolution of the screen was possible because of the higher DPI in a smaller screen of just 3.5 inches. The antenna rim replaced the soft design of the iPhone that continued the plastic design. However, this design of the antenna started a controversy which is known as “Antennagate”. The major problem was about the capability of the users to hold the phone. The way the phone was used to be held made the antenna to be covered under the hands; and this resulted in the lack of phone’s capability to remain fully connected. The arrival of Android While T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream was the first Android phone that was launched before 2010, it was not competitive enough to make a match with the iPhone. However, Samsung released the first Galaxy S phone in 2010 to make a competition with the iPhone. Several other mobile manufacturers also followed the suit and started producing Android phones. This is the major reason that Android has become such a big market. The prevalent BlackBerry
In 2010, the major companies producing mobile phones were still BlackBerry and Nokia. The hard QWERTY keyboard of BlackBerry made those phones quite work appropriate. The BlackBerry Models, Pearl 3G and touchscreen Storm, were the real hits but the company had to seize production of the phones as the decade progressed further. |
