IT industry news: Pricier tablets 'doesn't mean better tablets'

07:30 27th September 2011

More expensive tablet computers are not the ones with the better features and quality, according to James Holland, editor at electricpig.co.uk, a gadget news website.

"It's all down to the care and consideration used by the manufacturers," he explained.

He illustrated his point by recalling the "ill-fated" HP Touchpad. "It's a fantastic device, and now it's been discontinued, the prices are falling and it is flying off the shelves," he said, adding this was a great example of hardware and software working together well.

He said right now a few Android tablets come close to marrying up the hardware and software experience. But he said they still feel "clunky".

In other IT industry news, It is marketers and sales and business executives who are exploring the potential of flexible working via devices such as tablets and smartphones rather than IT professionals, Echoworx has speculated.
