Are you looking for an alternative to the iPad? We might have just found one for you. If you have been following the tablet market, you know that there are now three choices, Apple's iPad, Rim's Blackberry Playbook Tablet, and then a whole list of tablets running Android like the iDolian.
One of the biggest topics that comes up when people mention the iPad is the price. The Blackberry Playbook is only slightly below the iPad when it comes to the power to deplete the contents of your wallet. The name brand tablets like the Samsung Galaxyare just a notch below the Blackberry Playbook.
The good news is iDolian has a 7" tablet that is WiFi Ready at a reasonable price. So the question is of course "How good is it?". With a Samsung chipset, the iDolian TouchTab has all the features and performance of the more expensive tablets at a price that leaves you enough change to get the case with the built in keyboard.
The best part of the iDolian is the connectivity. The iDolian TouchTab has several connection ports including a mini-usb and mini HDMI connector. The idea of having standard ports on a tablet is a great feature that has been missed by a couple of other manufacturers.
With a 7" Capacitive touch screen that has 800 x 480 VGA resolution, the iDolian TouchTab meets the requirements for many pilots who want to use a class I electronic flight bag or EFB. The screen is large enough for reading books and watching movies and small enough to fit in the side of most carryon bags and most of the purses my wife stuffs into the X-Ray machine at TSA security.
There are a few things to keep in mind with Android Tablets. Just like Android phones, not all apps work with all Android Tablets. Make sure the apps you need are compatible with the phone or tablet you buy first and save the frustration later. Most app sites have a list of compatible Android devices, so start by checking the websites for the apps you think you will use most.
At under $250 you can get a TouchTab and case with built in keyboard making the iDolian TouchTab one of the best values on the market. So if you are looking for a Tablet computer, entertainment box for kids, bargain e-book reader, or super cool touch screen remote, the iDolian TouchTab might just be the perfect solution for you.
