Like wildfire, the Android tablet is taking the world by storm. As the Apple iPad tablet continues to add more features, Google answers right back with newer versions of Android. While Microsoft struggles to get a slice of this technological pie, Apple and Google continue to slug it out. Android tablets are gaining more and more popularity as opposed to standard notebooks. With chip producers such as nVidia creating more powerful chipsets, it won’t be long until notebooks become rare and the tablet replacing most mobile devices. The newest of the Android tablets are already sinking their teeth in.

In the past few years, the Android tablet has grown nearly exponentially. Apps and software developed by Google and other developers have created an immense library of programs that can be used in nearly any setting for the Android tablet. Office software that is compatible with most documents can be viewed with ease on a device that weighs far less than any notebook. Schematics, instruction manuals, and even teaching applications are all available at the touch of the screen. WiFi, 3G and 4G networking give android tablets versatility to move abroad with ease. The Android tablet continues to advance beyond what skeptics could visualize a couple of years ago.

Android tablets range in an assortment of sizes from small 7-inch screens to tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy 10.1, which features the 10.1-inch high resolution screen. As there are special cases and sleeves designed specifically for Android tablets, the compact size ensures these can be carried in almost any container, or bag. It may not be in the tablet’s best interest to build screens much larger than the 10.1 inch Galaxy. The compact size is currently one of the key selling points for the Android tablet.

Some of the more less costly Android developers utilize a 1.2ghz CPU. Companies like Pandigital, with their 7-inch Android 2.2 tablet utilizes a single core CPU of this type. The Pandigital Android tablet is great if you are on a shoe-string budget, but makers like Asus and their $500 price tag utilizes the nVidia Tegra 3 Quad-Core processor. The Tegra 3 from nVidia is a 1.3ghz CPU that utilizes processing power and low power consumption, which extends the battery life. As recent history has shown us, when it comes to CPU technologies, faster cores are always on the horizon. Before long, the Android tablets could be as powerful, if not more, than most computer systems.

The ability to store files, movies, music and games is a prevalent key asset. While lower-end models of the Android tablet utilize space in the area of 1GB, some of the other heavier models can store up to 64GB. There is even an Android tablet that can store 500GB. However, the Archos 5 internet tablet using this 500GB drive bleeds through the battery at a much faster pace and has far less features, slower processor, and is much smaller. Most Android tablets support a TF card (microSD) upgrade port for additional storage. These vary on the tablet’s manufacturer for supported size, however, most are in the 32GB support range. As larger microSD cards become more available, it is no doubt that the Android tablets will support it.

As technology creates more leaps and bounds, the crisp color of video due to 1200×800 widescreen resolution is very attractive. Most smaller Android tablets utilize an 800×600 screen resolution, which makes browsing the internet and other tasks a bit awkward. Scrolling side to side as well as up and down just to read a website can be a bit tedious at times. Thanks to Samsung and their Android tablet Galaxy 10.1, among other manufacturers, we are able to see the web, watch movies, and play games with better resolution and sharper graphics. In time, it is conceivable that in less than two years, we will be able to relish in 1680×1050 widescreen resolution. However, unless the icon sizes increase, it may make for a difficult time to click on a small icon at that resolution.

Technology has made profound leaps and bounds in the past 10 years. More efficient ways of construction have opened the doors to a new world of possibilities. It could very well be that Android tablets will be as prevalent in our world as the tablets were in the Star Trek television shows more than 15 years ago. As Google continues to improve on the Android tablet with new versions and capabilities, Apple and Microsoft have something to worry about. Never underestimate your opponent and what may seem like a fad now, may have a way of taking you by surprise. Blockbuster felt the sting of Red Box and Netflix in the same manner.
