in your lap.2. The Tablet PC tends to be used more organically; it’s

small, lays flat and is easily shared and passed around.3. Continuous, transparent access to information is a key

educational goal and these are two core requirements.4. Therefore, the long battery life of Tablet PCs allows you

to charge them overnight and use them throughout the school day without any need for power cords.

On the Medical Field1. The healthcare sector has shown a healthy demand for

tablets.2. Since that time, manufacturers have

introduced numerous tablets specially designed for healthcare professionals -- replete with rugged, hardy exteriors resistant to the kind of liquid, dust, and other debris they might come in contact with in a healthcare setting

Not only these two fields, they have affected a lot of other fields. They have infiltrated the fields of business and law

List of Tablet PCs

The Apple’s iPad is the most famous Tablet PC in the market currently. It had to go through some criticism initially but now it feels like people have really accepted this as the only option. The other thing is that it’s kind of a status symbol owning Apple’s product.

HP Slate is pretty much said to be the best alternative to iPad. It’s for those who love Windows 7 as it runs on the same. Other Tablets which are listed are mostly powered by Android, which is any Open Source Mobile Operating System from Google

A 5 Inch Tablet PC from Dell. The Dell Streak maybe called as a mobile phone or as a Tablet PC, its left to the perceiver.

After the Success of their Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung has launched Samsung Tab, which is again powered by Android. Which means consumers can enjoy all the Apps that they find interesting in the Android Market.

The Xoom supports up to 720p video playback. It features a 2 MP front-facing camera for video chatting over Wi-Fi or cellular Internet and a rear-facing 5 MP camera that records 720p video. The Xoom has a 1280×800 PX widescreen, 10.1-inch display and 3D graphics acceleration, as well as HDMI-out. It features the Gorilla Glass resistant coating.

The BlackBerry PlayBook is a tablet computer by Research In Motion (RIM), a Canadian company that produces consumer electronics, best known for the BlackBerry smartphone. Also announced was a new operating system, the BlackBerry Tablet OS, based on QNX Neutrino, to run on the tablet. 

Reviews of a few Tablet PCsApple iPadThe bulk of its surface is taken up by a 9.7-inch,

1024 x 768, capacitive, multitouch LED-backlit display surrounded by a glossy black bezel that some will say is too wide but, in practice, is an important design consideration that prevents the touchscreen from being inadvertently activated when handled.

The applications of the iPad are plenty and the consumers are assured of fast browsing speed by Steve Jobs himself. But it doesn’t stand on his words. The iPad does not support flash and maybe it never will.

But the mails, youtube videos and iBooks perform really well on the iPads.

Samsung Galaxy Tabs Review:Samsung's done a commendable job

distinguishing the Tab from the others with its contrasting front and back surfaces. The back of the rounded-off device is coated in white shiny plastic while the front consists of a familiar flush black bezel and glass screen.

 It does have a Corning Gorilla Glass screen -- but it does feel incredibly durable, and one shouldn’t worry too much when it mistakenly falls off the couch.

Software: TouchWiz and Android.

Motorola Xoom Review:The Xoom is a handsomely built tablet, though at

a glance, you'll think you've seen this before.The guts of the Xoom are more than competitive

-- and performance on the device was really quite brisk.

Besides that Tegra 2 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, the device is equipped with WiFi 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Verizon's EV-DO Rev. A, along with GPS, a light sensor, and an accelerometer.

It runs on the software of android- honeycomb, version 3.0.
