Many people think of tablet computers as cool, fun gadgets. And yes, they are cool and fun – who can resist a game of Angry Birds? – but tablets also deliver on productivity and practicality.

Many people think of tablet computers as cool, fun gadgets. And yes, they are cool and fun gadgets – who can resist a game of Angry Birds? – but tablets also deliver on productivity and practicality.

Ultimate portability

With a tablet, users can perform the same basic functions as with a netbook computer, namely web browsing and document editing.

Tablets stand out, however, in their portable design. Netbooks are small and light, but try using one on a crowded subway. A tablet is truly a "go anywhere" device because of the handheld design and single touchscreen interface, similar to what you would find on a touchscreen smart phone.

For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung's first entry into the tablet market, has a 7-inch screen that's roughly the same size as a paperback novel – yet it's super thin with a depth of just 0.47 inches (1.2 cm).

That means users can stay productive during the morning commute, while in line at the grocery store, or wherever they happen to be.

Apps, apps and more apps

So, tablets can go anywhere, but what can they do? With the range of applications available, it seems they can do almost anything.

Tablets are often preloaded with productivity apps for:
•Email (syncs with work and personal email like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and others email accounts)
•Calendar (syncs with Outlook, Google and others)
•Notes and memos
•News and weather
•Document viewing and editing for common file types like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF

App stores like Android Market, which runs on the Samsung Galaxy Tab and other Android-powered tablets, offer hundreds of thousands of applications for every need: gaming, shopping, news, entertainment and more. Tablet users can find a tool to organize and track nearly every aspect of their personal and professional lives.

Accessories bring more mileage

There are tablet cases in every color and style, but manufacturers have also rolled out some very practical accessories.

With a car mounting kit, a tablet can double as a GPS or in-vehicle entertainment system. Keyboard accessories, like keyboard docking stations, make typing even easier for emailing, instant messaging or working on documents.

Tablets are the new cool thing, whatch for a rapid evolution of these product in a near future,mainly at the current CES show.
