Reports suggest that the Apple iPad is set to dominate the tablet market right until 2016, making its longevity something of amazement.

Though demand for tablets has increased right across all spectrums of the world, from the boardroom to the corporate world, the device is and will be number one for a long time according to reports from Forrester research. Great news for those who enjoy iPad casino games.

Tablets are set to grow to 375m devices in 2016 alone, up from 56m sold last year, which  will mean a projected number of 760m tablets.

Apple’s iPad still is half of these tablets, even with Android and Windows on the horizon and is still expected to be 53% in 2016. In fact the report suggests that the Amazon Kindle Fire will be the only device to establish itself as a viable alternative in the market as Google keeps failing.

The report also shows that one third of tablets will be shipped to business in 2016, showing their leap from a position as a periphery device to a more mainstream use. This will also see Apple eat away at the dominance of Microsoft in the business computer world.

This will lead to a fall below 50 per cent for Microsoft in the business world, mainly due to a change resulting due to familiarity with the new Apple devices. Currently about 8% of IT workers use the Apple brand for work.

Accordcing to the report , about 9% of online adults in the United States report owning an iPad, and 24% of global information workers are taking their tablets to work. About 27% of companies in North America and Europe support the iPad for at least some of their employees.

HTC’s new  One X is on paper a bit of a monster with a quad core 1.5GHz processor, 4.7 inch screen and enough power to send it to the moon. However, specs never made a phone, so is it any good?

Well, though large it’s only 130g – perfect for a bout of mobile roulette. It’s large screen is excellent and with a 1280x720p screen looks great in both indoor and outdoor conditions. The body of the device is also commendable and is well built from the unibody design we come to expect from HTC.

HTC has improved a number of specs on this over the previous Sensation model and you’re looking at a behemoth of a phone in power terms. It’s capable of all sorts of video editing and video watching and comes with a 8mp camera as well as Beats Audio for some bass ridden music.

HTC has added a new Sense overlay on top of Android ICS 4.0 and it looks and feels smooth and is also well tweaked, with little of Android left in its original form. This of course easily does all that’s necessary, thanks to the chip and gaming is a fine feat on the phone and we can’t wait to see what developers throw at this more than capable machine.

One downside of all this power and ability is the battery life, which in truth won’t last you a full day with any use. This is one of the things we hoped Tegra 3 would improve, but with the large display and other power draining issues – no such look.

However, if you’re looking for a phone to replace, or to play mobile casino games and fancy a change from iOS this is the one.

Is the Lenovo YogaPad the future of the PC world? Well the device which was showcased at CES and will be at the Gadget Show next week is different, we’ll give it that.

This little UltraBook resembling device with an amazing rear hinge is one of the first Windows 8 ready devices and can be used as a laptop or tablet, and also comes with plenty of power via an Intel i7 processor.

The device is one of the first of the many touch screen laptops we’re set to see in the near future, but can be bent right around, so as the screen’s back touches that of the back of the keyboard to create a tablet like device.

As a laptop it meets all the UltraBook criteria and is under 20mm in width and 1.4kg in weight, making it ultra portable, ultra powerful and also is ultra attractive. Lenovo will be also delighted to be among the first to showcase the gadget wide Windows 8 which can be used on PC, Tablet, or phone and is completely compatible across all three, using the exact same operating system.

For those used to iPad casino gaming, or mobile slots on a touch screen, this will bring a new dimension to the way they use their PC as it now offers tablet like support. Of course Windows will be hoping for the development of more apps for their operating system to bring it right up there with the likes of Apple and Google who offer hundreds of thousands of apps for their systems.

Stories of the warmer tablet hit the net just after the device’s release, with many stating it is about a third warmer than the iPad 2.

However, after much testing across the web, consensus is that though the device is notably warmer it is not too hot. Tests by CNET, of the iPad undergoing gaming and heavy streaming at full brightness show the iPad reached around 37 degrees Celsius after about 45 minutes. Compared to a Dell Inspriron this is relatively cool, as the small laptop manages to hit the 45-degree mark after 15 minutes of gaming.

For the iPad, this is good news and means it’s about as warm as your own body temperature and so not uncomfortable to hold, even if noticeable to the touch when compared to the previous version of the tablet.
