Pinball has always been difficult to re-create on a computer. Though there have been some good incarnations, the lack of direct interaction is a sore point for pinball on consoles and PCs.

That means big areas of the screen that you can quickly tap for a function, slider windows to flip between functions with ease, and of course the ability to sketch or draw to accomplish a task.

The latest web traffic statistics show that 78% of all web surfers using a tablet after the holiday season were on an iPad.

Dump Paper And Use Your Tablet As a Trip Planner Instead [Android]
This year for the holidays, we decided to do something a little different. Instead of staying at home or visiting family for Christmas, we planned to take a family vacation to Boston throughout the entire holiday. That's a family vacation for 4 days and 3 nights.

Too Good to Be True: 5 Things to Look For When Buying a Cheap Tablet
I'm a big fan of tablets, that new wave of mobile devices that sits comfortably between smartphones and laptops. They're not for everybody.

How To Read Magazines On Your Android Phone Or Tablet
I love reading. Given the amount of research I find myself doing here at MakeUseOf that’s not a bad thing, but recently I’ve found my office space becoming encroached with more and more magazines.

Take Handwritten Notes Online or Offline With SuperNote for Android
I tested out a number of device-based note-taking apps, and eventually settled on the one that I consider the best of the best, called SuperNote. Don't bother checking Google Play for the app - it was originally rolled out with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime as part of the Android 3.2.1 Honeycomb update. Other devices running the latest Honeycomb have the exclusive SuperNote app. It is very cool, and in many ways it actually blows even Evernote out of the water.
