Few months back we had seen some  Chinese devices in market powered by android claiming to be iPAD killer.  It was in news all over the internet and tech-blogs. It was also very much expected that some big mobile companies would officially come up with a iPAD alternative which is worth a buy. HP and Dell also came up with some cool tabloid concept which is yet to be released in market. Well Samsung seem to be the first official competitor for iPAD with Android 2.2 (Froyo) powered Samsung Galaxy Tab .

iPAD is not officialy available in India, people who are crazy about tabloid can defnitly go for this Android powered Samsung Galaxy Tab.

It has a 7.0 inch TFT screen and dozens of Android applications.  It has bunch of social networking application pre-installed in it, you also get accesses to 70,000 + android application from Google Android market. At a first look it has every thing that iPAD can have and many more with the power of Android.

Unlike iPAD this 3G powered Galaxy Tab also have a 1.3 mpx vga cam in front for video calling. It also has a 3.0 mpx camera with flash for taking HD quality video and photos.

2010 kick start with lots of mobile gadget reviews and NEWS. Apple launches new iPad and iPhone OS 4. Many Android powered phone lined up for launch. Sony release its X10 Xperia powered by Android OS. Microsoft launched KIN few days back.  HP launch new HP Slate. 3G to be officially available with all GSM and CDMA providers in India.

But, if we carefully have a look, all these mobile phones and devices have one single target and thats called Internet. Everyone here is focussed on serving better Internet and social networking experience. All mobile phone company and service providers want people to watch Movies, TV Shows, Live IPL match on their mobile phone. You can do anything , anytime, anywhere with you mobile phone. And not to forget 3G will triple all your experiences.

Question that i have is, when you can do everything on internet using your Smart phone like iPhone, Android Phones and KIN then, whats the need for an iPAD or a Netbook or any Tablet Devices. Who will be interested in carrying this not so small – not so big device when they have a ultra portable mobile phone which can do the same thing.  Is’nt it an interesting topic to think about.

Though Netbooks have some advantage over the mobile devices, but , purpose of Netbooks are still not clear to public. If its only for internet users then mobile devices powered by android is anytime ready to kick off the net-book market.

Do we really require an NetBook in your bag to access internet when you have a mobile phone in your pocket which can do the same. My answer would be, No…, I would not require a NetBook or iPAD like devices when I have a mobile phone powered by 3G connection for accessing internet and related stuff. I  would be interested in carrying a mobile in my pocket rather than NetBook in my bag, for high-end stuff  i would have a High config Laptop rather than a Netbook .

So my question still remains open and I would like to get some interesting feedbacks / comments from the readers.

The T-Mobile G2 Touch (also known as the HTC Hero), is the third Android handset to be manufactured by HTC, and ultimately the second Android phone to launch on the T-Mobile UK network.

The G2 Touch is the fully touchscreen older brother of the popular T-Mobile G1 handset, and includes a whole host of new features.

Some of the most popular features of the G2 Touch phone are its 3.5mm headphone jack (the 3.5mm audio has been noticeably absent from previous HTC Android phones), multi-touch capability, and ofcourse full support for Adobe flash player.

The T-Mobile G2 Touch will also be the first Android phone to include a custom built HTC user interface known as ‘Rosie’, along with the HTC specific HTC Sense UI.

The HTC Sense user interface allows for far better widget customisation of the Android home screen that will enable users to display their most favoured information directly from the main Android screen.

The G2 Touch will also feature an industry first teflon coating that will help prevent chips and scratches on the handset. The phone’s unique finish also includes smudge and finger print protection to help keep the handset clean.
