Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi
|
 |
It may look as though Apple's second-gen
tablet merely tweaks the formula that made the original a genre-defining
monster,but the changes are significant enough to keep it well clear of the
Android pack. On the outside it’s been slimmed down to a smartphone-thin 8.8mm,
shed 70g of weight and gained two cameras.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer
|
 |
With its detachable keyboard, fast processor and impressive multitasking ability, this Android Honeycomb3.1-powerd10.1-incher renders netbooks obsolete.Throw in big batter life and it's the first Android slate one on the Transformer.

|
 |
"The Eee Pad Series of tablets from Asus receives yet another boost with the launch of the awesome Android Honeycomb3.1 powered Eee Pad Slider. This one packs in a slide-out keyboard, unlike the detachable one on the Transformer.

Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1
|
 |
Rejoice:there's no longer any need to ship Samsung's second tablet in from the US.That's good news, because the 10.1 is thinner and lighter than the iPad2,has a lovely display and runs Honeycomb smoothly. Only Android's lack of killer apps lets it down.

Motorola Xoom 3G
|
 |
The First tablet to run Honeycomb gives the iPad2 a bloody nose thanks to its better camera and built-in HDMI and SD ports. The Xoom also excels at app-juggling and has a great screen, with the update to Android3.1 unlocking extra functionality.

Viewsonic ViewPad7
|
 |
Aside form the snazz red chassis,Viewsonic's 7 in Tablet is hard to distinguish from the upcoming Acer A100. It runs Android HoneyComb with 8GB of storage. Despite slightly shonky Wi-Fi and camera positioning, it's still a solid buy.

BlackBerry PlayBook
|
 |
The diminutive PlayBook is aptly named; Its sharp display, versatile,user-friendly OS and full HD video camera all point to a life lived outside ot the boardroom. If 7 inches is enough for you,it's well worth considering-but it needs more apps, and quickly.

Acer Iconia Tab A501
|
 |
Slim,shiny and chic,Acer's 10in 3G Honeycomb tablet proves Android can compete with Apple when it comes to looks, even if it's a little rough around the edges in operaton. The combination of a 10-hour battery life and 32GB of storage makes it a solid all - rounder.

HTC Flyer 3G
|
 |
For watching videos and gaming, the 7in Flyer's size and power put it up there with the best, but an outdated version of Android means its clunkier in operation than the others.At this price it's impossible to recommend over a Honeycomb-powered rival.

Acer Iconia Tab W500
|
 |
If you don't mind using the tablet version of Windows7, the W500 is a decent option.It lacks app variety,but the ease of use and familiarity of Windows gives it plenty of versatlity. The Android-running A501 is a better option,though.
