Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (4G, 32GB)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (4G, 32GB)

Despite a more portable size and weight, and 4G network radios, the Tab 8.9 does little that surpasses previous Galaxy Tabs or other products in this category as a whole.

Motorola Xoom 2

Motorola Xoom 2

The Xoom 2 improves on the original in design and features, but with sluggish performance, it still feels like last year's tablet rather than part of the next wave.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Samsung Galaxy Note

With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarising smartphone that winks at tablet territory. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but, for some, the phone will just simply be too big.

Asus Transformer Prime (TF201)

Asus Transformer Prime (TF201)

Asus' Transformer Prime combined with Ice Cream Sandwich is an excellent tablet. For now, this is the one to get — at least until the TF700T comes down the line.

Honeycomb: what went wrong?

Honeycomb: what went wrong?

As we head into CES 2012, one thing is certain: there will be no more talk of Android 3.0 (aka Honeycomb) as anything other than a disappointment. The future of Android, for tablet and smartphone alike, is Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G, 16GB)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G, 16GB)

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a great-looking tablet computer, but Samsung makes little attempt to differentiate its Android tablet from the rest of the pack.

Windows 8 tablets may be too late

Asus Eee Pad Slider

Asus Eee Pad Slider

The Slider is another excellent device from Asus, proving that the Taiwanese company makes the best Android tablets in the market. If the cramped nature of the keyboard doesn't suit, it still has you covered with the Eee Pad Transformer and keyboard dock.

Sony Tablet S (32GB)

Sony Tablet S (32GB)

Sony took its time with Tablet S, and it shows. The industrial design is smart, and the software refinements are both practical and restrained.

Motorola Xoom

With Telstra's price drop and Android 3.1, the Xoom becomes a little more competitive. We take another look at the first Honeycomb tablet.
