The best thing about Android tablets is that you don’t need to rewire them or add hardware to make them more useful. All you have to do is check if they run properly, install helpful apps, and put up proper security measures. Here are three ways to turn your tablet into an optimized productivity-boosting tool.
One way to optimize your tablet is to turn it into a powerful communication device. A good app for this would be HeyTell, which lets you record a voice message that you can send over Wi-Fi or 3G data. It basically allows your tablet to function just like a walkie-talkie. The popular PC-to-PC voice call app Skype is also compatible with tablets. You can have it running in the background to notify you of incoming calls. You can even use it to share photos or chat with contacts in real time.
A well-maintained tablet is a fast 7 inch android tablet. Installing a lot of apps on your Android device will definitely take a toll on its speed and performance. Avoid lag or loading issues by keeping only the apps you need (or use frequently) and uninstalling the rest. This will help your device run faster, plus it will get rid of potential distractions that hinder you from being productive.jk5afF324
The company’s second announcement may be more appealing to artists who have held off on purchasing an iPad for its lack of pressure-sensitive screen: Wacom’s Cintiq Companion tablet line offers a full multi-touch pressure-sensitive tablet experience. The company has two models available: a Windows 8 tablet, and the Companion Hybrid, which works as a standard Cintiq when plugged into a Mac or PC, but also as a stand-alone Android tablet with basic sketch tools built in.
The Companion Hybrid is a little less fancy under-the-hood than its Windows 8 companion; when not being used as a display on the Mac, it runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on a Nvidia Tegra 4 processor. Nor does it have access to Photoshop—instead, the tablet comes with Wacom’s new Creative Canvas software for doodling and painting on the go, along with ASTRO File Manager for sending rough images over to your computer. But you’ll still be able to use the tablet as a fully-functional Cintiq monitor when not on the road, so you'll never be too far from a professional drawing program. Sadly, it looks like you still need a power source when using the tablet as a display.
Both models also have a few extra 8 inch tablet features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (4.0 for the Cintiq Companion and 3.0 for the Companion Hybrid), 2-megapixel front cameras and 8-megapixel rear cameras, a stereo headset jack, and microphone.If you were hoping the Cintiq Companion might compete with the iPad on price, however, the Windows 8 tablet leans more toward the cost of a laptop than a tablet: the 256GB model will retail in September for $1999, while the 512GB model is priced at $2499.
The Companion Hybrid is a little more reasonable for tablet artists: It’s priced at $1499 for the 16GB model; an extra $100 will buy you 32GB total space. It’s still not easy money, but for serious digital painters, it may be worth it: You’re essentially paying for a tablet with a Cintiq 13HD glommed on, after all. Both models will be available in mid-September from Wacom’s store.
