The idea of converting the traditional paper books into electronic format can be a topic of never-ending debate. However, I am not concentrating on the pros and cons of tablets and e-books. These devices let us read all our favourite content on the go and their popularity has increased tremendously in few years. So, I decided to bring the best tablets and e-book readers introduced in the year 2012.
Apple iPad with Retina Display
Just when everybody was thinking that the iPad could not get much better, Apple announced the exceptional iPad with Retina Display. The 9.7-inch iPad with stunning 2,048 x 1,536 pixels resolution offers everything better and sharper. This iPad delivers highly optimised multimedia performance that is not yet matched by any competitor.
The iPad introduced in 2012 (with Retina Display) is just impressive; however, Samsung and Google came together to give Apple a tough competition for its money with the Nexus 10. This one is armed with a pixel density of 300ppi and display resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, delivering the clearest and sharpest display ever on a tablet device. Inside it is build up of the industry’s first dual-core ARM Cortex A15 processor, quad-core Mali T604 GPU and 2GB RAM.
Panasonic Toughpad
It is announced as the most tough tablet in the world, designed to survive in all extreme conditions (dust, drops and water). The Toughpad is embedded with hardware security for keeping your data safe. It runs on a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and 1GB RAM. It was a definite addition in the list of top 100 products of 2012.
