Tablet Gift Ideas

One of the hottest gifts of the season is the tablet PC. These devices are sleek, stylish, and powerful, and offer a lot of functionality for a mobile device. You can watch movies, check out the latest YouTube videos, catch up on your favorite shows and listen to music on your tablet. You can even perform most computing functions using your tablet as well! Tablets usually come in two sizes: 7 inches and 10 inches. The difference between the two sizes is usually just cosmetic. To get an idea of how those two sizes feel physically, recognize that a 7-inch tablet is roughly the size of a medium sized paperback book, and can be securely held with one hand by most people with average sized hands. A 10-inch tablet is obviously wider, and needs two hands to be really held securely. Thankfully, there a bunch of options at several price points that can make buying a tablet easier. Here are the top three tablet gift ideas as of November 2012:  

• The Apple iPad:  The godfather of the tablet market, the iPad is currently the most popular tablet out there.  It's sexy design, great usability and absolutely fantastic and deep app store makes it the all-around leader in functionality.

• Asus Transformer Infinity -  This is Android's flagship full-size tablet. The Infinity earns that distinction with an overclocked Tegra 3 processor, an incredibly bright and sharp screen, and a full Android 4.1 Jelly Bean experience.  The cool thing about this tablet is the included keypad/cover that makes it suitable for more heavy-duty usage. A great gift idea for the on-the-go creative.
