HOW BIG IS THE TABLET AS A COMMUNICATION GADGET IN KENYA
The tablets in Kenya are the town, an in depth analysis makes us see what exactly is this that has people wagging their chins over.
Over the weekend I got to understand the fuss after handling the Samsung tab 8.9. It is pretty simple to use if you know the basics of a touch phone you’ll be at home with the Samsung tab. The android market honey comb on the tab makes the tab suited for all pallets, for the teenager who loves to chat countless free and paid apps like whatsup, and e- buddy are there. For nature lovers countless of apps on nature and wildlife are available. So the android honey comb is definitely an advantage to the tab. The tab has Wi-Fi so you can surf at any hot spot or at the office and its amazingly fast. You can have you regular browsers like opera, Mozilla and Google chrome.
The Tab’s WXGA-TFT touch screen has in my opinion, SUPER high resolution. Images have amazing color, and clarity to capture all the detail of real life. Kinda like a 3D movie without the glasses the screen is that brilliant. Talking on movies the effects that everyday TV shows are one hundred times magnified on the tab. “the villain jumps out of the window shattering the glass it a million bits” you can literally see the bits. Reading books on the tab is a wonderful experience; I read the Stephanie Meyer twilight series countless times just because I couldn’t get over how clear the words were.
The tab has a dual core 1GHz processor runs every function and app effortlessly we all hate it when comps hang… well with the Samsung tab not happening.
The other tabs such as the I-pad 1&2 haven’t hit the Kenyan market as much as the Samsung tabs have this is probably because of the pricing the Samsung tab is much more pocket friendly than the I –pads. Sorry Mr. Jobs. But it’s keen to note that news anchors e.g. on citizen TV use the I-pad showing it has penetrated the Kenyan market somewhat.
The features of the I-pad are home and professional in use. Its uses the apple store for app downloads paid and free as well. The good thing is apps on apple seem to come out weekly this week’s better than lasts’. It is so light and slim I see why the reporters choose to use it as opposed to those kilos of papers they’d have. (Unfortunately some of ours still use both the paper and the pad.)
The I –pad’s features are WI –fi access to the apple apps store. A ten hour battery life (amazing). The I-pad to has 3G covering (Say heaven!) a digital compass, 3G-assisted GPS, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, Apple’s custom 1 GHz Apple A4 chip, and is multi touch-compatible.
In terms of the two the Samsung tab has hit the market most finding use in homes and schools. But the I – pad still is a technocrats dream. The coverage of both is still quite limited to 22% of Nairobi 9% of Mombasa and 4% of Nakuru. So we still have a long way to go.

Samsung is going hard on Business Customers.
ReplyDeleteWord on the street is that they are offering the tablets optimised for business customers in Kenya, Cisco VoIP connectivity,Secure VPN, ruggedised cases for mobile sales guys, the works
True that man, they seem to understand the concept of doing business in Africa or since they have been in Asia. I sure believe that the consumer do stand to benefit the most...
