I keep seeing sites that show a new or upcoming tablet computer and label it as the “iPad Killer” and then it turns out it is in fact not as good or cheap as they expected or worse, the device never see’s the light of day. The iPad has some nice things going for it such as light, well made, large screen, multi touch display, responsive and generally the applications just work. The down side I think most people look are the price (cheapest model in the UK is £439), the fact you need iTunes to even make it work, no way to plug in your own media, no webcam, no way to install your own applications of choice (unless your jailbreak the device) and the fact most apps seems to cost money. I have a feeling we are going to get flooded with devices in 2011 that look and feel every similar to the iPad such as the Samsung Tab and other of its type.
I have now owned and used the HTC Hero G2 Touch for a couple of months now and felt it was time to spill the beans on both the good and bad side of this phone. A lot of people will happily ignore the bad points on some reviews as they are now locked into a long contract but I do not believe in hiding the things that should just work.
