2010 Christmas Gifts for the Frequent Traveler-iPad/Galaxy Tab/eReader
This holiday season, it will be hard to enter a store without setting eyes on a tablet computer or an e-reader. A report by the Consumer Electronics Association says electronics are among the most popular gifts being bought this holiday season. Electronics represent three of the top five things on its "holiday gift wish list" this year. Notebook computers are at the top, followed by iPads and then e-readers. In both categories, big-name manufacturers -- along with some you might not have heard of -- are jumping on the bandwagon, trying hard to undercut each other with lower-priced gadgets. If you’re buying Christmas gifts for your family members and friends, think about these- iPad, Galaxy Tab and eReader. If he or she happens to be a frequent traveler, these would be the best gifts for them to enjoy ‘contents everywhere’.
So which is the best Christmas gift for frequent traveler? iPad? Galaxy Tab? Or eReader? Let’s compare the pros and cons.
1. iPad
Price: $499-$699 (Wi-Fi only); $629-$829 (3G)
Pros: Has the same intuitive interface as the iPhone and iPod Touch, but optimized for the iPad's larger 9.7-inch display. Syncs with the popular iTunes software, whose store sells music, movies and e-books. With third party software Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper, BD movies and DVDs can be easily ripped and put onto iPad for playback. Up to 10 hours of battery life. There are more than 300,000 apps available in the app store; more than 40,000 of them were designed specifically for the iPad, making this the most versatile tablet, by far. All models connect over Wi-Fi, while 3G versions can use AT&T's cellular network, whose plans in the U.S. cost either $15 or $25 per month and require no long-term contracts.
Cons: It is relatively large and weighs about 1.5 pounds, so it's not as easy to use one-handed as a smaller tablet such as Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy Tab. Lacks a camera for video chatting. Students will find fewer textbooks available in Apple Inc.'s iBooks than in Amazon's Kindle store.
2. Galaxy Tab
Price: $399 with two-year contract; $599-$649 without
Pros: The Tab runs the same Android software that can be found on many a smart phone. Solid build quality and brisk performance. It is a bit smaller than the iPad and about half its weight. It has dual cameras, something the iPad lacks entirely, allowing people to video chat, record HD movies and snap still photos. The Tab's display is sharper than the iPad's, and is stunning for playing videos and movies.
Cons: The Tab's 7-inch display makes for a less immersive movie-watching experience than the iPad's larger one. Many Android apps weren't designed to fill the Tab's larger screen. Video chat can be slow over both Wi-Fi and 3G cellular networks. The Tab only costs $399 if you commit to a two-year contract with Sprint or Verizon Wireless, which let the Tab run over their 3G networks. Verizon Wireless and AT&T sell the Tab with optional contracts, but it costs more up front ($599 on Verizon and $649 on AT&T). Monthly data plans range from $25 to $60.
3. Barnes & Noble Nookcolor (eReader)
Price: $249
Pros: Displays books and magazines in color. The brightness of the 7-inch touchscreen can be adjusted for comfortable reading in a wide range of lighting conditions. Besides a large library of books, magazines and newspapers, Barnes & Noble sells children's books with built-in narration tracks. Some books can be lent to friends, who can download Barnes & Noble's software for free to read them.
Cons: Children's books are expensive – $8, compared with child-friendly iPad apps that cost about $2. The screen is too small for comfortable reading of magazines. At 1 pound, it is twice as heavy as Amazon's Kindle, although still lighter than the iPad. Its battery life (eight hours with Wi-Fi turned off) is relatively short, although still sufficient for a round-trip flight across the country.
What if he or she already got an iPad or Galaxy Tab? Well, in that case the Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate software will be a best Christmas present. This is an assisting software that helps iPad and Galaxy Tab owners to sort out Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Videos of various formats into iPad/Galaxy Tab friendly formats. The software can shrink a BD movie to around 3GB and still keeps 720p HD quality. The software is discounted during Christmas and New Year holiday and the price is down to $52 only now and till Jan 10, 2010. Click for more information.
At the top of the list of the best Christmas gifts is peace and happiness. That is also our wish for you this holiday season. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
