The computer world has been all over the place with new and innovative ideas over the past few years, and while some of them have been obvious homeruns (iPhone) the allure of having a completely portable PC has left consumers with a bad taste in their mouths once they realize just how limited their new purchase really is. While tablets like the iPad have experienced limited success because they do not have the portability of a smartphone or the computing power of a laptop, the day is near when consumers across the globe will want the total package when it comes to their portable device. BestPriceTablets.com, one of the internets most active rating websites for tablets, lists several reasons that tablets will soon be nominated the leading solution for billions of customers worldwide.

1) Smartphones are Already Outdated

It really doesnt matter how sleek your cellular phone looks or how great the interface is, because in reality it is nothing more than a tiny, weak computer with very little storage space. In order for any computer to operate complete operating systems like Windows 7, a minimum of 16 GB of storage is required as well as a dual core processor and 4 GB of RAM. As more and more consumers make the switch to smartphones and realize the limitations in multimedia, gaming, and multitasking, the demand for stronger portable systems will become obvious.

2) Smaller is no longer Better

It seems like in the past ten years the computer has been reinvented a dozen or more times, with each application becoming smaller without sacrificing power or productivity. Smartphones have completely broken this trend by making an ultra-portable device that is great for basic functions like Facebook or email, and although a few minor tweaks are still possible to squeeze out a few drops of processing speed the microchip would have to be reinvented for a smartphone to equal the computing power of a tablet. Once consumers begin to realize the smart phones shortcomings, they will look for a portable device with solid computing powerthat is smaller and easier to carry than a laptop.

3) Why the Heck do we Need a 4G Network?

Weve all seen the commercials stating that 4G is ten times faster than 3G, but the part that is always left out is the practical applications. Since your smartphone has never obtained anywhere near 3G speeds it really is overkill in every sense of the word, and if the technology industry is stepping up the game there must be something on the horizon that would actually make good use of that technology. Since businesses can not run on smartphones yet many of them require portability, tablets are the clear answer.

4) Tablets are no Longer an Apple Thing

BestPriceTablets shows that there are dozens of new manufacturers moving away from laptop production and joining the tablet market, and since there suddenly is fierce competition at both the high and low price points this works very well for consumers. By Christmas time this year expect to see both generic and name brand tablets well beneath the price of the average smartphone, with sales finally surpassing laptops sometime down the road in 2011.

5) The iPad Suddenly Became Smarter

Even though the iPad has remained the number one selling tablet since its inception early last year, customers definitely couldnt understand Apples obsession with the stylus pen and why they couldnt just get rid of it. Competitors quickly took note of this oversight and began pumping out inventory that used a fully functional touch screen, and suddenly the one man race was more like a sprint towards the finish line. BestPriceTablets shows that the iPhone still holds top honors in global sales but they are dumping the stylus pen in favor of full touch screens, and that should be the motivating factor for many businesses and individuals to finally make the switch from other portable devices.
