Tablets on March 2015
Claustrophobia - This is a common idea solution to all types of tablets. Today we have Home Cloud Drives that have Wi-Fi and 1-3 TeraBytes of Space.
Let us say we carve out an WebApp-Server in this and download and cache 100 WebApps. Now with a "Portable WebApps" launcher in your SmartPhone or Tablet. Launch your favorite WebApp, it Streams to the RAM, no flash is used.
This is safe, does not use flash and a Home Wi-Fi Media and Server makes you feel the WebApp is right in the phone. One day with Fiber-Optic Networks and Super Speed Internet, these WebApps can even stream from the clouds. That is far away. The practical way to enhance storage or your portable devices is this WiFi Mini Intranet Private Clouds. You could do that even today.
Three Power States 2012
Other than the Wide Awake fully functional state, there has to be a 'Nap' and the 'Sleep' State.(It is Partial Implement in most tablets)
Nap or Sleep in Device
The Sleep State like Standby will not allow the WebApps in memory to continue running and Background tasks like GPS, Pinging, Status Check or alerts must not happen. The battery consumption must be close to the 'Off' State. Using only power for that Quick Awake in place of full boot.
In the Awake State WebApps in background like Inactive Games must either close by themselves or consume no power. Many people will forget to close the webapps, some consume power even when there is no activity in the apps.
The Nap State is a Sleep of a Dog, means half awake, then some background apps can run. Giving alerts by beeps/Led flash if so wanted without the system turning on. This is a Low Power Consumption state which means the Tablet is working - low Resources.
One could have a option to Turn Off, Nap or Sleep. Even the Timed Auto Off can be set to Nap, Sleep or Shutdown as the user Prefers. Default being Sleep with a Alert saying all Background activities are suspended with no alerts. It is the Battery that needs to last.
Tablet Power Nov 13
Battery charge condition reporting like 85% should be on a good load. That is we pulse a electronic load and see the battery voltage. Else the battery will show full charge on small loads, even if it is 80% charge. Some hardware take care of this, some do not. Battery full charge can be ensured by an hour of charging after it shows charged on such devices.
