Apple
New iPad
The new iPad is the tablet to buy unless you can't afford it or
you're an Android nerd. With a large HD Retina display, a lightning-fast
dual-core processor and the intuitive iOS 5, this is the tablet
that's let you work, play and anything else you care to mention.
With over 200,000 apps, many free and pre-installed, and an enormous
library of digital content, there are few limits to what this device
is capable of. |
Apple iPad
2
The Apple iPad 2 is a truly amazing tablet. Equipped with a large
9.7 inch screen, it's big enough to work and play seriously, and
the hardware needed to support it is all here: a dual-core processor,
512MB of RAM and up to 64GB of built-in memory. Add to this the
polished performance of Apple's iOS 4 and the wealth of built-in
and downloadable apps, and we think you'll get more for your money
with the iPad 2 than with any other current tablet. |
Samsung
Galaxy Tab 10.1
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best Android tablet we've seen
and a close rival to the Apple iPad 2. With a dual-core processor,
10" HD screen and up to 64GB of memory, the hardware is easily
a match for the iPad 2, and the availability of apps and media content
isn't far behind. |
BlackBerry
PlayBook
The BlackBerry PlayBook has a powerful dual-core processor at its
heart, a vivid 7 inch display and an intuitive gesture-based multitouch
user interface. It connects securely to a BlackBerry smartphone
for email access, and offers Full HD video calling over Wi-Fi. But
its lack of 3G and very poor choice of apps count against it. |
Samsung
Galaxy Tab 7
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a compact tablet with a 7 inch screen.
Running Android 2.2, the Galaxy Tab seems a little dated when compared
with the latest tablets, but the price more than makes up for this.
With a 1GHz processor, 16GB of built-in memory and a large battery,
the Tab is quite capable of doing everything a smartphone can do
and doing it better. |
HTC Flyer
The HTC Flyer is a compact tablet with a 7 inch screen. Running
Android 2.3 plus HTC Sense and equipped with a fast 1.5GHz processor
and lots of memory, the Flyer is a very capable device. It has a
premium look and feel, and comes with a unique Magic Pen stylus.
But it's a very expensive tablet and offers poor value for money.
