2011 is the Year of the Tablets. It really is. After Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab, several other tablet computers have been launched with the hope to increase their market share.
In response to the craze for tablet computers, The New York Times offers an interactive guideline which is quite handy, especially for those who are thinking of purchasing a tablet but don't have any idea which one to opt for.
This interactive guide allows you to view features of the Apple iPad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, BlackBerry PlayBook, Acer Iconia Tab A500, Toshiba Tablet, HP Slate and Dell Streak. It also provides URL links to comprehensive reviews of each gadget written by technology experts as well as links to the product pages.

Life-saving inventions
The world has been struck by so many natural disasters in recent years. Before Japan was hit by a devastating tsunami, China's Sichuan province was wrecked by a 7.9-magnitude earthquake in 2008, and then Indonesia's Java was hit the following year. Just last year it was Haiti and Chile.
The world has been struck by so many natural disasters in recent years. Before Japan was hit by a devastating tsunami, China's Sichuan province was wrecked by a 7.9-magnitude earthquake in 2008, and then Indonesia's Java was hit the following year. Just last year it was Haiti and Chile.
Jack Lamport from BBC News has compiled several gadgets that have been invented to help the victims of natural disasters.
Inflatable hospitals, for example, have been used since 2005 mainly by international medical and humanitarian aid organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres, particularly in the aftermath of the earthquake in Pakistan that year and in Haiti in 2010.
In times of disaster when local hospitals have been ruined, hospitals created from inflatable tents have proven to be very practical.
In Japan where people were left without access to clean water after the tsunami, Lifestraw _ a compact, lightweight filter that kills bacteria and parasites in a purification cartridge _ was also created as a life-saving device.
ASUS’ Eee Pad might still be difficult to track down, but at least all
systems are go for the company’s other Honeycomb tablet, the Eee Pad
Slider. Asus introduced the Eee Pad Slider at CES in January, but the
company’s been pretty quite about the Android tablet with a slide-out
keyboard ever since.
The company confirmed that the 10.1-inch tablet, originally slated for May, is “coming soon” no word, of course, on whether it will ditch Tegra 2 for an Atom Z670 CPU, as rumored. Next up, ASUS, give us a price, capiche? Last time we checked, the company was estimating it would cost between $500 and $800, so your guess is as good as ours as to how sweet a value this will be. There’s no word on pricing, but Asus will have more details during a pre-Computex news conference on May 30th.
You can check out my demo video from CES showing how the sliding mechanism works after the break. In a nutshell, the Slider is a lot like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, except that instead of offering an optional keyboard docking station, the Slider come standard with a keyboard that’s always with you since it tucks away behind the screen.
