Tablets expand scope with bigger screens, dual operating systems, and car access Jan 10th 2014, 13:50, by Michael Kan Tablets are getting bigger screens, moving into cars, and dual-booting Windows and Android at this year's International CES show as tech vendors give a glimpse into the gadget's future. At the annual trade show, one of the biggest tablet introductions was Samsung's new Galaxy Tab Pro series (pictured at top). In addition to 10.1-inch and 8.4-inch models, there's also a version built with an extra-wide 12.2-inch screen, featuring a 2560 by 1600 pixel resolution. The size of the 12.2-inch model means it can act as a desktop replacement for both consumers and business users, according to Samsung. It runs Android 4.4 and comes with a Qualcomm 2.3GHz quad-core processor. The Wi-Fi-only model weighs 732 grams (1.6 pounds), while the 3G/LTE version weighs 740 grams. On the software side, all the Galaxy Tab Pros come with "Magazine UX," a display mode that fills the screen with tile-like widgets that show information from different apps. Samsung said the display mode provides a more immersive experience, letting users instantly view content without having to open apps.
