With the birth of the iPad it was expected if not anticipated that there would be a flood of copy cat products flooding the market not to shortly there after. Well the iPad 2 has just recently hit the market, a market that finds itself abuzz with half a dozen other iPad wanabee's, officially known in the industry as…wait for it…."Tablets". Among these "tablets" are some familiar names such as Motorola which sells the Galaxy Quest (Sounds like an SUV doesn't it?) and Hewlett Packard which sells the HP 500 Slate but there are also a few that are not so easily recognized, such as the Archos 101 Internet tablet and the ASUS Eee Pad transformer.
The gimmicks that come with these tablets include detachable keyboards and screens that flip. Some are smaller than a standard tablet but larger than a standard cell phone. Some are actually cell phones that plug into a laptop shell and act as its brain, some plug into a cradle on your nightstand and act as your alarm clock. Most of them are equipped to act as your cell phone and have full WiFi connectivity to access all those beloved hotspots that have popped up all over town. They all have enough memory to hold a plethora of music and enough movies to keep its owner at home watching them all weekend if it wasn't for the fact that these darned things are so gosh darned portable and designed to be used on the go (not at home, on the sofa, eating a bowl of popcorn. Although I believe one could still do that if one wishes too.)
Here is the usual scenario that is pitched in the marketing campaign of any single one of these tablets.
1) Wake up to the sound of your choice courtesy of your intuitive pre-programmable tablet that is sitting on its dock by your bedside.
2) Check the weather and morning news as you get ready for your day also courtesy of your ever handy tablet that has access to any number of apps that you can download into it.
3) Check your emails as you drive off to work via its built in digital voice that saves you from actually having to stop your busy life and read those things.
4) Call your boss and tell him that you changed your mind about coming in because you have an all to important Appointment to keep with your proctologist! Also done hands free on your trusty tablet.
7) Choose to watch a movie (Yes on your tablet!) in the doctors waiting area instead of reading the informative information he has strewn all about on healthy colon care!
8)Listen to distracting music(Again, on your tablet) as your proctologist examines your exit more thoroughly than Big bubba, life time resident of Name Your State Penitentiary, would had you been his cell mate!
Yes these tablets can do it all except fetch your slippers and fix you dinner. But then again why would you need them to do that for you? Don't you have a dog and a wife?

Yes these tablets can do it all except watch Sunday football and mow your lawn for those things you have your husband!
