What is a tablet computer?

A tablet computer is sometimes called a tablet PC. Since the is not a PC, and some tablets are expected to be Linux based, a tablet computer is the correct term. While it is bigger than a cell phone, it is smaller than a laptop and unless you buy an accessory keyboard it does not have on in the traditional sense.

You can also update your status to all your accounts directly with one single update. Read the rest of this entry »
