With growing demand and use of tablets, many analysts are predicting the sales of tablets to double this year (especially 7"inch). Key players in the market include: Amazon Kindle Fire HD, Google Asus Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and the latest Apple iPad mini.

 

Here's a blog from Ben Doud, our business director who shows how tablets are saving time, money and paper in the O2 boardroom.

Have you got a Tablet? If yes, what's your experience like? What screen size do you prefer and what do you use it for?

Thanks for this thread!  I have an iPad 2 and use it mainly for watching video whilst travelling, email, social media etc.  But I would love to use it more and wonder what apps people use and what other ways they use tablets for.

Nexus 7 gets used for everything, esp when I can't be bothered to get the lappy out wink

Pickles, it's a big hit for the commuters - if you travel regularly or on a daily basis, tablets are ideal for the watching videos/ short clips, normal browsing, and making notes, etc...

 

I bought my mum an Apple iPad 2 a couple of months ago, purely because she loves angry birds on a bigger screen Smiley Very Happy

 

MI5, *I can't be bothered to get the lappy out* - sometimes I get that feeling too and I personally think that tablets could wipe off the laptop market in future.

I have the iPad 2 I love it just the lack of flash support makes my desktop/laptop a must for majority of uses.

However cannot beat angry birds on a big screen:) short of maybe Apple TV allowing it

•dreams of 46" angry birds•
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told wink

I cannot find a legal way to do it yet:( I hope too see it soon though:) some amazing multiplayer games on the iPad as well would look great on TV:)


I believe you are correct tablets will do an awful lot of damage to the laptop market. I think the next gen or two will provide powerhouses capable of competing with the average laptop:(

Not sure how far you can push a tablet hardware before space is an issue.

However AMD new trinity cores have very capable CPU/GPU built into the chip. If they stay afloat long enough I think they'll be the end of the laptop market.

Blackberry Playbook because it was cheap and still is for 64GB with plenty of functionality. With docs-to-go, it seriously questions why I need to get WinPho 8 with the built-in office apps. Really coming into its own lately as I'm travelling a lot and hotel TV's are pretty poor (especially when they lock out the hdmi functionality!!!). Should I mention it outputs to hdmi and the Blackberry bridge is utterly brilliant using the BB as remote control over BT.

 

Though I still think that any tablet needs to have a stylus in a similar vein to the Samsung Note 10.1 to interact properly. I'm waiting for the MS Surface Pro which is ticking all the right boxes and has built in stylus support. Put another way, OneNote is a killer app with a stylus.
