Tablet for Institutions:
S-Tab by HTC
Executive Summary

The concept of a fully integrated tablet for students to utilize at higher education institutions has been a long overdue thought until now. The aim of a school tailored tablet would be for students to compress all of their textbooks, workbooks, folders, and papers into an easy to carry, easy to use electronic device that would cut down on paper waste and allowing interaction with the school easier than ever before. Accessory products will be run through mini hdmi and mini usb ports allowing the use of a wide range of functions to be used. Accessories will include a full keyboard, book light, and a mouse. Another accessory would be a case for the tablet that can be school customized for color and logo. The tablet, manufactured by HTC, will be tailored to any specifications of the schools choosing and allow each school to have their own customized tablet. The tablets will be interactive in the classroom and a learning tool outside of it. Producing a low priced, highly customizable item will push this tablet to the front of the industry, causing it to gain a lot of interest among higher education schools causing sales to skyrocket. This product will be a hot item in the area of schools going green as the tablet

    Some people think that it is a bad idea to replace tablets with textbooks and some other people think it is a good idea. There can be many opinions over this topic, so let’s explain why we shouldn’t have them replace our textbooks.The first reason that we shouldn’t have them is because if you lose them it’s it will have a critical impact on school. One of the reasons it could have an impact is because we could lose everything you had on it. Not only that but they also cost a lot of money. If we keep the normal textbooks it will save money over time because they last longer than normal devices, and not only that they are a lot cheaper. The textbook might break but they are not that expensive to replace.Another factor with the tablet is that…

    It was my job today to write a summary on a product that in my belief is not being marketed effectively to the public. I choose to discuss the newest form of portable “computer” like device that has become extremely popular, the tablet. There is one tablet on the market now that is very well advertised and shown to the public on regular basis. This brand of tablet, is of course the Ipad by Apple. But there are many brands of tablets, and surprisingly there is not a lot of marketing for the other brands, I have decided to summarize these other tablets.…

    The great debate between tablets and textbooks has been waging since the release of products such as the iPad, Kindle, and Nexus 7. Thanks to innovative technology from Apple, the iBooks interface has made textbooks from publishers like McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Houghton-Mifflin easily accessible.

    Activities: many students from all over the world as well as educational bodies descend upon the International Consumer Electronics Show(CES) every year to find out what the brand new technology is about to hit the streets. They do this as it enhances the possibilities for what can be made possible for the classroom. There are things such as the Oculus Rift which is a virtual reality headset, this piece of equipment can be used to replace school trips. There is also the McGraw-Hill learn smart advantage. This is a new piece of technology Atari are calling the smart book. It adapts to the readers learning capabilities and stores the files they need to work on as well as remembering the parts of text books which students will need to revise as it tracks their capabilities such as how fast they read, what they study most, what kind of books help them to study better etc... Then it gives the students options so that they can go back and revise what they need to at their own pace. This would definitely be a feature worth putting into our tablet, if they have not yet made an app.We should defiantly look into developing one. If the VR glasses are not yet developed for consumers then we should look into an adapter for our tablet. http://blog.chegg.com/tag/ces-2013/…
