These days having a portable Internet connection is very important for users that take their laptops and Tablet PC's out and about. A very convenient way of getting an Internet connection when you are not near your home or another WIFI hot-spot is to use a portable WIFI hot-spot which are provided by almost all Internet Service Providers these days.

The newest technology revolution in this field is the Seagate GoFlex Satellite. This nifty little device doubles as a portable WIFI hot-spot and a wireless portable Hard Drive!

What this means for the end-user, is that any Tablet PC or Smartphone connected to the GoFlex device can wirelessly stream any Videos, Music or files from the device. In essence this hugely expands the storage of Phones and Tablet PC's.

The manufacturer claims the the unit can be used continuously for 5 hours off battery and extends for a range of about 9 meters.

If you are the type of person who often uses a Phone or Tablet PC for watching movies then this may be a very good functional and time saving device.

The Future is Here:

Tablet PC’s

With technology rapidly getting smaller, more powerful and at the same time more capable, it is no surprise that people are flocking to these new devices called Tablet PC’s.
High end Tablet PC’s released today are far faster and more powerful than a regular laptop from as little as a year or two ago. The major benefit of a Tablet is that they are super portable and can have a much larger screen than a phone yet a lot longer battery life than a regular laptop. The new Motion Computing CL900 Tablet has average battery life of 8+ hours. That’s 8+ hours of usable battery before the Tablet needs a charge!!

This Tablet and many more run on Windows 7 Operating System which is the industry standard system for all new PC's and Laptops. They can also have up to 4GB of RAM (a lot) and some even have Quad Core Processors (very fast!).

To some people the idea of controlling everything through the Tablet’s touch-screen is not a very appealing idea because of the finger marks on the screen and because people are used to a computer mouse. Nearly all tablet on the market these days include a USB port and therefore the Tablet has full adaptability with nearly any USB mouse and keyboard available. They are also compatible with most wireless keyboard and mouse configurations.

Most of the high end Tablets released today also have the option to put a 3G Sim-Card in them to enable a completely dedicated broadband internet connection wherever there is mobile phone reception. These tablets can then be used any time you're away from the your computer for everything from checking your Exchange Mail Server Emails, to creating a VPN connection so you can access your home or office network.

If the tablet doesn't have an inbuilt 3G function there are still many options for getting the internet. Any Tablet built within the last year will have WIFI (Wireless connectivity) and many smartphones can act as a Wireless Hotspot. This means that the phone can share their internet connectivity with any other WIFI enabled device therefore giving the Tablet full access to the internet. Phones with this capability include:

 

• Android 2.2 or higher
• Iphone 4
• Any Windows Phone
• Blackberry OS 6.1+
