Top 10 Tablets

Top 10 Tablets in1 – Samsung Galaxy TabScreen: 7-inch Super TFT-LCD, 1024×600Price: $599.99
Storage: 16GB internal, up to 32GB micro SD = 48GB Total
Processor: Cortex A8 1.0GHz
OS: Android 2.2
Sitewww.samsung.comGalaxy wins first place for being the fastest little rocket next to the iPad without the iPad price. Internally you will find the same Cortex A8 processor you will find beating in the hearts of iPads and iphones. Tablets run a close race in appearance for the most part, so it is all the little things that make all the difference, like the 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. The biggest reason the Galaxy tablet takes first place is because of its access to the Android market and all the wonderful applications it holds. Apps are cheap and very useful, as compared to buying programs for typical laptops

2 – iPadScreen: 9.7-inch LED backlit

Price: $829.99 (64GB Version)
Storage: 16, 32 or 64GB flash
Processor: Apple A4 1GHz
OS: iOS
Sitewww.apple.comRunner up in the tablet race is the one and only iPad. The iPad is still king, due to its extremely long battery life (40 hrs.), combined with its stylish tiny body that makes other tablets want to diet. The iPad is in for a good fight with all the other tablets out there, but it can still hold its own for now. Its primary down side is in its heavy price.  Right now you can discover over a thousand apps on the App Store made just for iPad, with more coming every day. And if that’s not enough, you can also run almost 200,000 iPhone apps.


3 – Lenovo Ideapad U1 Hybrid

Sitewww.lenvo.comThe Ideapad takes third place as it is the first of a kind, being the very first hybrid full notebook and tablet, two computers in one. The Ideapad U1 starts out as a 3.8-pound laptop that runs Windows 7 on a Core 2 Duo CULV processor and a 128GB solid-state drive, but removing the 11.6-inch display lets you use it as a stand-alone Linux tablet PC, powered by a 1-GHz Snapdragon ARM processor with 16GB of flash memory.

Processor: Arm Cortex A8 at 1Ghz
OS: Android 2.2
Sitehttp://wepad-tablet-pc.org/Description courtesy of WePad,
The WePAD is a German made android tablet pc that promises “fast Internet connectivity, a complete world of ready-to-use applications and easy access to books and photos, as well as magazines and newspapers from various publishers via the WeMagazine ePublishing Eco System”. This Android based system looks as though it may be an iPad killer, no problems running flash on the wepad, and with the android smartphone powering away, it now has some 20 percent of the smartphone market, not bad for the new boy on the block. This seems a fairly robust machine with an 11.6″ display (1366×768), a rather quick 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, a webcam (for video chats, we imagine), two USB2 sockets, integrated WAN modem, flash card reader, GMA3150 graphics (far better than on most e-readers), and a battery that is reported to last six hours, though that claim does not say under what sort of workloads you could expect that sort of battery life. It also has a set of built-in speakers, and as it is built on Google’s open Android O/S, any Droid applications can be loaded on to it after purchase. Other specs include 16GB of NAND Flash (32GB optional), a 1.3MP webcam, SIM card slot, Flash/Adobe AIR support, access to the WePad AppStore and Google’s own Android Marketplace, multi-tasking support, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, optional GPS, an ambient light & motion sensor and an internal microfan to keep things cool.
