Major Constituents in Tablet PCs

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Tablet PC are quite popular nowadays. And in this article we will talk about the reasons of its popularity. Tablet PC stands apart in the computer world since its creation. The main reason for this lies in its uniqueness, as technologies used in various fields of the computer industry are interwoven in one case.

Matrix touch with DSTN technology, which provides playback of 256 colors, is used in the display. The display resolution is 640 x 480 pixels, and there is sufficiently bright light. Since it is the touch screen, there is a special pen as a set (despite the similarity of appearance, somehow it is called a stylus).

Accordingly, there are two options to work with the computer: using a virtual pop-up onscreen keyboard or handwriting recognition. The pen is actually the main tool of the tablet owner, as other methods of interaction are simply not available. There are only three buttons that are responsible for turning on and off the tablet, adjust the brightness of the display and volume control, and a few connectors.

"Heart" of the tablet is the 206-MHz StrongARM SA1110 processor. The amount of installed RAM is 32 MB of SDRAM, plus you can a built-in use flash-drive with the same volume. By the way, the drive is formatted for FAT32, so there should be no problems with its use.

We have been testing this device based on Windows CE 3.0. We will not scold it or praise highly. Generally speaking, this is the most common Handheld PC, only with a bigger screen and no keyboard. In this "PPC" we found an audio player, graphics viewer and other software (HaaliReader, for example) without a problem.
And finally, the final touch to the portrait of our tablet PC. Its price is only 357 dollars, which is surprising. The producer established such a relatively low cost specifically to attract users and promote his plates. And this is some kind of marketing strategy.
