Why you should wait to get a Tablet?

I was one among the early bird user (of course not like Chip/Digit) to try out Android 2.1 which got released with Milestone in India. I was pretty much impressed though I felt a lagging in the kind of response I get during multitouch. I was longing to write a review for my MileStone, but it took quiet some time for Motorola India to stabilize things so till recent months I was facing some issues.

The intention behind this post is about your choice of Tablet:

Being a Gadget freak I love to review all the products getting enlisted in Engadget, techcrunch, etc. I have listed few points on why you should wait for some more time to get a Tablet.

1) Processors are getting powerfull: Nvidia Tegra2 which is already is featured in many Mobiles and Tablets in latest CES 2011 is supposed to revolutionize entire concept of Mobile and Tablet to something like a "Mobilet" or "Tabtop" with its increased speed. Many competitors are in the market with their latest entrants of Processors like "Snapdragon by QualComm". Definitely we should never ignore Intel though they are limited to ATOM as of now for netbooks but I am sure that their incubators should have high end processors for Mobile Phones and Tablets.

2) Android 2.2 and 2.3: Though we have Android 2.2 version of Tablets and Mobile Phone in market, none of them have capacity to have a native video calling like one is supported by Nokia in 3G. Though 2.3 is supposed to have video calling facility most of the reviews seems to support application dependent not native. I can only expect Android version 3.0 HoneyComb to have native video calling support but I really expect Android 2.3 Gingerbread to support video calling.

3) Ipad and Iphone supports video calling but this is limited to Apple Devices and this I don’t think its right for me to give a guess on Ipad 2 specs give you false information. It's better to wait and watch.

4) Another important aspect is about improving functionalities like big screen browsing as supported by "Motorola Xoom" which comes preloaded with HoneyComb. This has an extended functionality of connecting it to an external display which you can use to connect to the device and use keyboard and mouse.

5) Ofcourse, how can I forget about Microsoft? Though they have Windows Phone 7, romours are already out that they are customizing windows 7 based platform Tablets. This will be or real charm, but no clue about its launch.

What is in now?

1) Ipad: Runs on IPhone OS 4.2 comes with a 1Ghz Processor and good Graphics Card.
2) Dell Streak: Though the display is of 5 inch it is almost like a mediocre between mobile Phone and Tablet
3) Galaxy Tab: This is a real IPad competitor but still it runs on 2.2 though they promise an upgrade. Its Snapdragon processor and advanced Graphics is very promising but still way to go.
What is near future Left for you:

1) Dell Streak 7: Though it comes with front camera right now on it is of no use. Dell Streak 7 promises to use new version of android which on its way.
2) Motorola Xoom: This is a promising tablet from Motorola with Android 3.0
3) Ipad 2: Ofcourse Apples product, so will have its charm.
4) Adam: Swadeshi tablet which is as good as any other tablet in the world. But Notion Inc (Based in Hyderabad) has limited its OS to 2.2. Lets hope it will released soon.
5) Acer Iconia: This guy is my favorite brand because of its cost effective products. They are always cheap while the specs are always promising. This is expected to be releasing soon.
6) Lenovo: They have two Tablets one supporting Windows Phone 7 and another Android waiting in the queue to get released. We can expect better products from them as well.
7) Asus, Toshibha and Samsung are the other giants ready with their Tablet launches with advanced configuration.

Conclusion:
If you are an avid user of latest technologies and have a passion for latest gadgets and if you are looking for purchasing a tablet in near future, I suggest you to hold your horses just to warn you that by the time technology explodes you wont even be in the rear end. And ofcourse it's true even if you buy one some times later but in this article I was hinting you some important aspect a tablet should have and is missing as of now.
