Media tablets promise a better user experience than productivity-focused laptop computers and communication applications on diminutive smartphone screens. During the first half of 2010, most PC and mobile device OEMs announced plans to deliver touch screen-based handheld devices to satisfy the need for content consumption in and around the home.
