Today’s tablets are small and light, they’re relatively inexpensive, they have a long battery life, and, with the exponential growth in applications, they can do almost anything. The technology may be in its infancy, but experts say there’s a tablet explosion on the horizon. Michael Gartenberg, technology adviser for Gartner, points out that tablet technology has been in the works for years, but it “was really Apple that created the mass market for tablets. The iPad has set the standard for other devices.” Many other manufacturers–Samsung, Motorola, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Acer to name a few–have since joined the fray, building their tablets mostly on the Android platform.
