Acer has created a reasonably priced tablet computer with many of the options other more expensive tablets offer. Though it has some issues (like its bulky design, for one), this is great tablet for many of the common uses for which one may consider buying a tablet.

Apple's newest tablet is still leading the pack with a combo of design, features, and speed that dwarfs the competition. Though there are some areas where other tablets have edged ahead, all things considered, if you have the cash, this is the tablet you will walk away with.

Blackberry has created one of the smallest tablets on the market. At 7” the Blackberry Playbook isn’t going to wow you with its size, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in power and longevity.

It’s heavy and bulky, but also only $399 and comes with full-sized HDMI and USB ports, and SD card slot. It also get 11 hours of battery life, and you can replace the battery when it starts losing life down the road.

Take the best tablet on the market and the absolute worst tablet on the market, draw a line in the middle and you will find the Lenovo IdeaPad. It doesn’t get much more middle-of-the-pack than this tablet. 10.1" screen, Android Honeycomb OS, 32GB, 9 hours of battery life, wifi only, dual-core processor, front and rear cameras, and a starting price of $499

S Tablet is a 9.4" tablet running Android 3.1 Honeycomb. It has some key features not available on the iPad: built in remote-control that can be used with any infra-red devices, including TVs and the ability to direct digital media, such as movies or audio, from anywhere on the user’s network to any TV or other devices that can play it.

The Sony Tablet P is a model with two 5.5-inch screens come with a resolution of 1024 x 480 pixels each. Its design provides a compact tablet solution that will easily fir into pocket.

For better or for worse Asus has put a fresh spin on the tablet computer. With its 12.1" screen, its included Blutooth keyboard and stylus pen, up to 64GB storage, and speedy Intel Core i5 processor, there's a new hefty, somewhat clumsy, but competitive player on the field of tablet computers.

Second only to Apple's iPad 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is tough, light, thin, and fast. It sports front and rear cameras and speakers capable of deep bass.

This is another of the Android wifi only tablet options out there. With a starting price of $400 it's worth a look, but, as you might imagine, this low price comes with its compromises. The 10.1" screen is on par with its similar competitors, as is the 16/32GB options. It’s lacking in the port department, megapixels on the front cam, and video playback. Also, it’s not as sturdy as some other similar tablets.

The Motorola Xoom is still heavier, thicker than, and not as intuitive as the iPad, but it does have similar features, quality hardware, and the potential for Verizon’s 4G network in the near future. Only problem is, other Android tablets are hot on its heels.

With an 8" screen and only 2GB in storage (that can be expanded to 32GB with a $50 microSD card), this little tablet is...well, little. It’s not entirely clear what Vizio is thinking with this tablet, but no one can say it isn't original.
