The processing power, storage capacity and online connectivity of the devices are expanding the capabilities of consoles beyond games.
In addition there are variants on the tablet products (connectivity and storage).

In short, it's thinner and lighter than the Tablet S, while internal specifications also trump it, including a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, Android 4.0 ("or later"), 3G connectivity and three storage options: 16, 32 and 64GB.
Of course, Surface Pro has a USB 3.0 port for connectivity with almost limitless storage options, including external hard drives and USB flash drives.

Motorola also boast that it's now 100g lighter than the original Xoom, but we still get an HDMI port, microUSB connectivity and 16GB of storage, not to mention stylus functionality, though the capacitive pen is sold separately.
Greater portability, better mobile connectivity and expanded cloud storage are helping define the post-PC dominated world, and we are starting to see actual computing itself shift to the Cloud and only the user interface is needed to operate.
Thin client devices depending upon on-line applications and on-line storage to do work and require constant connectivity.
Just in time for the holidays, and making a perfect external storage companion to the Apple(R) Macbook(R), MacBook(TM) Pro or Macbook Air(TM), the new G-DRIVE slim external hard drive gives users 320GB of storage and ubiquitous USB 2.0 connectivity in an amazingly slim form factor.

The higher costs and higher latency of on-line storage will likely drive continued efforts to create local storage options for tablets, despite the architectural difficulties with iPad connectivity.

While DAS connectivity is very important for internal hardware design, connecting storage and computing systems over a network continues to grow in importance to enable movement of these vast data streams.
While these updates are common for tablet upgrades, The Verge reports that the new device will also include a Tegra 3 Processor from NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), support Android 4.0 or a more recent iteration, come with a wide arrange of storage options (16GB, 32GB, or 64GB), contain 3G connectivity and offer 10 hours of Wi-Fi battery life.
LG's Smart TV platform provides a customizable dashboard and smart connectivity features that streamline access to content from compatible smartphones, laptops, storage devices and the Internet.
While Fibre Channel storage networking technology offers up to 16 Gbps data rates low cost, high speed Ethernet connectivity is raising its head.
Today the increased processing power of mobile devices as well as more ubiquitous network connectivity and the ability of data centers to provide (almost) always available storage capacity and applications, are causing a return to thin client computers accessing larger shared processing and storage resources.

On-line data centers are increasing their capacity to deal with this increased demand for processing power, communication speeds and digital storage capacity but despite the increases in efficiency of enterprise equipment and software there is a price to pay for universal connectivity and general on-line resources.
