Android tablets are a new and exciting way to catch your favourite music, videos and emails, but without irritating wires.
Android OS is a really big reason for their rise in popularity. It is an operating system (like Windows) designed by Google, but focusing on ease-of-use, watching and listening to media and surfing the internet.

Unlike a traditional laptop pc, a tablet pc has some advantages. Here are 7 reasons why you need a tablet in your life:

1. Portable - Tablets are very portable thanks to their small size and light weight. They are typically no bigger in area than a piece of A4 paper and weigh roughly half a kilo because they're not weighed down by a large battery, fans and keyboard. This means that you won't even notice when they're in your backpack or handbag!

2. Cheap - A new laptop pc could cost even more than 1000 dollars depending on specification! You won't have this problem with Android tablets though, they are much cheaper since they aren't equipped with software and hardware that you don't need, such as DVD drive and keyboard.

3. Customisable - It's easy to customize your tablet pc with apps and new backgrounds. Android OS allows you to put links to your favourite or most-used apps on your homepage and change its background. This means that your tablet is unique to you and only you! You can also upgrade to newer versions of Android when they arrive.

4. Ideal For Videos - You can watch videos on many different devices, but MP4 players and smartphones all have quite small screens which could cause eye-strain. Tablets are great because they usually have a nice, large screen of between 7 to 10 inches.

5. Free Internet - If you are in a WiFi hotspot (anywhere with a wireless internet connection) then your tablet will be great because they have a wireless internet connection that can connect anywhere. So if you're on the train, in the airport or even at home, you won't be bothered by annoying wires.

6. Free Apps - Apps, or applications, are one of Android OS' main strengths! These are programs that allow you to do anything - from games like 'Angry Birds,' to Facebook and even Google's own apps like 'Gmail' and 'Youtube.' Install the right app and you'll be able to do anything anywhere! Best of all? Most of them are free! Go to 'Android Marketplace,' choose the app you like, click install and you're done!

7. Cool - The shiny, slate-like Android tablet is always likely to get people talking! They look so futuristic and are much more streamlined than big laptops that they truly are the best way to get active online and with media when you're out!

As mentioned tablet pcs tend to be cheap, but how cheap? If you avoid the stores in town and stick to the internet you can find your best Android tablet for around just 200 dollars, so log on and search for Android tablets in a search engine and you should be able to find some great bargains!
