of that there can be no doubt. While tablet PCs have been
around for yonks, only now are they becoming the desirable,
usable and functional devices that we've always wanted them
to be – and it's about time too.The iPad is currently the most
obvious example of how tablets are going mainstream, but
that's not to say that all tablets released from now on are
guaranteed to be super awesome.
Indeed there are some real stinkers out there –

| TOSHIBA FOLIO 100 PC TABLET Folio 100 |
Toshiba’s latest android tablet, Folio 100was launched at IFA 2010 in Berlin. This is the first attempt by Toshiba to launch something similar to the Apple iPad slate computer. This is a tablet unique in its looks, design and features. A detailed review of this has been discussed in the following sections.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer |
2. Asus Eee Pad Transformer:
Asus is keeping all its bases covered by offering a variety of different tablet options, and waiting to see what people buy. The Eee Pad Transformer comes with a keyboard dock and the whole package costs just £429 - a veritable bargain. Definitely the best Android tablet of the current crop. |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V |
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V
The new Galaxy Tab 10.1V is a real corker. It's a good size, it's powerful, responsive, lightweight and has an excellent 8MP camera. Not to be confused with Samsung's forthcoming similarly-named Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - this one is a Vodafone exclusive product and will hit the shelves this summer.
The Motorola Xoom is one of the second-generation Android tablets that the tech world is getting very excited about. Packing Nvidia's super-powerful Tegra 2 chip and running the tablet-friendly Android 3.0 OS, the Xoom is going to be big.
5. BlackBerry Playbook:

LG Optimus Pad |
6. LG Optimus Pad:
The LG Optimus Pad is a super-looking tablet and has the USP of having dual 5MP rear-firing cameras for 3D image capture. Add to that dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, a decent screen and Android 3.0 and you've got an exciting tablet on your hands. But pricing could be this tablet's Achilles heel – it's going to be pricey. |
7. HTC Flyer:HTC flyer has decided to release it's first tablet running on Android Gingerbread (2.3), which will upset some purists that only believe these tablets should run on Honeycomb. However, it does come with a new version of HTC Sense with dual-pane windows which works well with videos and email. As a single-core device in a dual-core world, though, will the Flyer be good enough?

Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 |
8. Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000:
While the Galaxy Tab promised the world, it didn't quite deliver the tablet experience we were hoping for. As the first big-name tablet to take on the iPad, it failed to live up to its billing. That said, user response has been positive, and despite a high asking price of over £500 SIM-free, this is about as good as it gets out of the current crop of Android 2.2 tablets. A Wi-Fi only model is imminent. |
Viewsonic ViewPad 7 |
9. Viewsonic ViewPad 7:
Not technically built by Viewsonic, this tablet is also available under various different titles. Essentially it's a Chinese-built OEM device, but you'd be wrong if you think that means it's not very good. It is. It's responsive, it's a nice size and it's usable. The problem is that it should cost £200, not £400.

Advent Vega |
10. Advent Vega:
At £250, the Advent Vega comes in at a very attractive price - it's probably the best tablet for those on a very tight budget. And actually, it isn't half bad. It's responsive, it's not too heavy, it runs Android without breaking a sweat. The problem is that without 3G connectivity there's no Android Market access. There's also no Home button, and the other hardware buttons are fiddly as hell. |

11. ExoPC Slate
While the list is dominated by Android tablets, let's not forget poor old Windows 7. It's in no way a touch-friendly operating system, but that doesn't mean there isn't some decent hardware out there doing its best. The ExoPC Slate is the best Windows tablets at present, and so if you MUST have Windows on your tablet, this is currently the one to get.
12. HP TouchPad
The touchpad looks like one of the most powerful tablets yet announced, running the as-yet unreleased dual-core Snapdragon APQ8060 1.2GHz CPU. It's also running Palm's webOS 3.0 which sets it apart from all the Android tablets but at 740g it's rather heavy.13. Notion Ink Adam Tablet
The Notion Ink Adam Tablet is maybe the most anticipated tablet of them all. While it runs on Android 2.3, the Bangalore-based company has built its own complex interface on top called Eden. The hardware specs are impressive on paper, and it looks like this could to be one of 2011's hottest products. Or, it could be an absolute disaster... we'll find out soon enough.14. Asus Eee Pad MeMo
We don't know much about the Asus Eee Pad yet. What we do know is that there are four models, of which the MeMo is at the bottom end. We also know that Asus is taking its time with these Eee Pads, so we can be fairly confident that when they finally go on sale, they'll be good.
15. Asus Eee Pad Slider
At 10.1-inches, the Eee Pad Slider is bigger than the MeMo, and Asus thinks it's big enough to warrant a slide-out keyboard. It's the netbook of the new generation, if you will. It's also the first Android tablet we've seen with a feature like this, though it's not a new concept. Typing on a touchscreen can be a pain, so including a proper keyboard is a nice idea – though how useful it ends up being remains to be seen.
16. Acer Iconia Tab A500
As Acer's flagship tablet we were expecting big things from the A500 but from what we saw at MWC it doesn't look like the A500 is as high-end as we were expecting it to be. It's still a powerful Tegra 2-powered Honeycomb tablet though, so if it has an attractive price, this could be one to watch.
17. Acer Iconia Tab A100
The A100 is the little brother to the Acer Iconia Tab A500, and we have high hopes for it. While it doesn't have the high-flying specs of some of the other tablets on this page, we expect this 7-inch tablet to carry a more modest price.
