I love tablets. Specifically, I love Android tablets. I’ve had most of the major devices since day one including the Motorola Xoom and the earliest Samsung tablet, the Galaxy Tab 8.9. The last one, well that was a brick – it was heavy, slow and would hurt you if you dropped it on an extremity. …

iDea CT1080 Tablet review

Before 2010, there were no touch-centric tablets, only laptops that had stylus-driven screens.

This new RealPad from AARP probably isn’t a lot different from many other 7.9″ Android tablets on the market, but it has one advantage over them. The fact that AARP is endorsing them and has some of their services set up as apps on the tablet may be enough to give tech-fearful people the confidence to think …

With more features coming out in Android OS updates, I’ve …
