An android tablet will open up a whole new world of media to you in an incredibly convenient, portable package! It is a slate-style PC that includes everything you'd need in its sleek body that is basically just one huge screen. Forget your tired old notebook, a tablet is so advanced that it will make you look like an extra from Star Trek!
Android OS is what makes a tablet PC special. This is Google's very own operating system which is completely focused on usability, connectivity to your email and watching or listening to media. The best thing about Android is that it is completely customizable which means that you can set up your tablet to your preference.
Android tablets are like PCs in that you can install apps, or applications, of whichever type you like and make your tablet your own. Just put shortcuts for your favourite and most used apps on your homescreen.
Apps are available from app stores on the internet, the most famous being Google's store the 'Android Marketplace.' You can also try 'Appbrain,' 'Androlib' and 'Andappstore.' These are large databases of different apps which you can search for and install. The best thing is that most of them are totally free!
Where to start though? Here are the 7 apps that you should have on your tablet:
Facebook - If you're like 500 Million other Facebook users then you'll love this app, as it will allow you to connect to your friends anywhere and everywhere thanks to your tablet's portability.
Twitter - Another great way to stay in touch with your network, or just see what others are up to. Just tap out a quick message and share it with the world, it's the ultimate in real-time connectivity.
Angry Birds - Don't lie! No one is too busy to make a few minutes to smash green pigs with a variety of angry birds. Meetings will never be the same again with this blockbuster app.
Kindle - Remember that tablets are ideal for reading eBooks with their nice large screens, so the Kindle app is great as it gives you thousands of free eBooks or the ability to buy new ones at low prices.
Google Translate - Language need never be a barrier again. Use this app to translate text between more than 50 languages. Communicating with foreign friends or customers is so much easier now.
Gmail - Imagine being able to get immediate email updates from all of your contacts as soon as you connect to the net? His app threatens to make your laptop defunct!
YouTube - A tablet's screen is ideal for banishing boring commutes whilst checking out YouTube videos of dancing babies, skateboarding bulldogs or perhaps even something work related! The YouTube app will hook you up.
These are just 7 apps, but there are hundreds of thousands of free apps available, so just take a few moments to search the sites mentioned earlier.
Finding your ideal Google tablet is a doddle. You can find them in all good electrical stores, but if you're on a budget then it would definitely be wise to search online and buy a non-name brand tablet there at a far cheaper cost! Remember, Android is Android regardless of the brand of the hardware.
