Tablets - E-Books

Whether you’re a wedding photographer, wedding planner, or the lucky couple who will be tying the knot, an Apple iPad 2, new iPad, or one of the many Android tablet PCs can be very helpful when you’re preparing for a wedding. 

If you are about to be married and you’re an avid tinkerer, dabbler or hobbyist—and you are looking for some creative and fun ways to shoot, or include, photography at your wedding—you will be interested to know we have a bunch of ideas right here for the do-it-yourselfer in all of us.

If you think that all tablet computers are just flat, glass-plated rectangles, then you’ve never held the ergonomic Sony Tablet S. And if you think that Ice Cream Sandwich is just a cool and creamy snack, then you’re not familiar with the latest version of Google’s Android operating system.

With Mother's Day looming just before us, now might be a great time to open your mom's mind to the usefulness and convenience of tablet computing. The iPad is tremendously popular, and an awesome piece of technical goodness to boot. But there are many other tablets to choose from.

Calling all iDads and Motherboards: Archos has just announced a new seven-inch tablet called the Child Pad that runs the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and, best of all, has an attractive sub-$150 price tag.

Like many of you, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Apple’s new iPad. I’ve also spent the past few weeks sifting through rumors and digging for facts in a haystack of conjecture. Now, with Apple finally inviting us to preview its latest tablet, I can with confidence substitute hard facts for the coy reports from esoteric back-alley iPad meetings and mysterious photos from an off-shore factory floor.

Showing an aptitude for instantly converting from tablet to notebook via an optional snap-on keyboard docking station, the original ASUS Eee Pad Transformer was a surprise hit in 2011 among users who refused to compromise between the freedom of a tablet and the productivity of a notebook. 

Print on paper may not be entirely passé, but thin-screen devices that store hundreds of books—images, music and sometimes video, too—are clearly gaining cachet. While B&H doesn’t sell every brand of e-reader, it does offer a select group of capable models. 

Apple didn’t invent tablet computers, but it sparked the fire that’s now a full-blown inferno, with every major manufacturer offering one or more tablet computers. A tablet computer is all that most people need, especially for entertainment purposes. But they’re also good for being productive. Let’s take a look at some of the latest and most popular units.

One of the more vital challengers to Apple’s iPad is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and now the tablet is available from B&H, along with a cluster of Tab-specific accessories.

Choosing between the newly arrived Gorillamobile Ori and the Gorillamobile Yogi is a matter of lifestyle. Both Gorillamobiles are from Joby, the company that re-imagined mini tripods with trippy, twisty legs and colorful accents.

The iPad is known as a great media consumption device for kicking back on the sofa to surf the ’Net, watch videos and read electronic magazines, but with a little effort, an iPad can be transformed into a powerful media creation device as well.

If you’ve been waiting for a tablet that can do it all, your wait is over. The ASUS Eee Pad Slider, in capacities of 16GB or 32GB, now officially for sale at B&H, sports a productive QWERTY keyboard, a USB port for universal connectivity with other devices, an HDMI port for easy connection to big screen TVs and a Micro SD slot.

With the launch of the Reader Wi-Fi PRS-T1, Sony has effectively doubled the battery life over the discontinued Reader Touch PRS-650, shrunk the weight to 5.9 ounces from 7.5 ounces, added Wi-Fi connectivity and simplified gestures by enabling two finger-control. And the T1 is priced 35 percent below the 650.

Universal remote controls are not new and exciting pieces of technology, but what if you could control your TV, Blu-ray player, stereo and cable box with an app built into a tablet computer? If this sounds compelling, the only tablet that’s capable of this is the new Sony Tablet S.
