Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga: A novel twist
Yoga is all the rage these days, particularly in London I hasten to add where my recent stay in Clapham was complemented with a gruelling 7am session of Bikram ‘Hot’ Yoga – with a hangover!

Scroll Excel 7” Tablet: 3D vision for under £150
The tablet market is getting increasingly congested as manufacturers fall over themselves in an effort to bring the next best thing. Whilst the IPad may still be taking the moral high ground, there are many other suitors looking to get up there as soon as possible in all shapes, sizes, weights and prices.

Asus EEE Pad Slider: Plenty of playtime
Business notebook purists, who sneer balefully at early corporate adopters of tablets, often argue that without a keyboard, a tablet has no real value as a part of the mobile corporate armoury. Well, those purists might now be eating their words, as clearly, this tablet means business in both senses of the word.

So we were quite pleased to have a little hands-on time with two of…
The Toshiba AT200. A honeycomb tablet so thin it’s almost see-through.
The iPad 2 is facing some serious competition these days. As the consumer market warms up to the potential of tablet media, there is certainly no shortage of options for us to choose from. And we can certainly thank Android and Apple for that.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7: Tablets for titchy palms
It seemed everyone thought a lot of the original Galaxy Tablet when it first came out; there were even (shush) whispers that it might have been a device to at least offer some faint resistance to the iPad World Takeover.
