The Apple iPad ran up record profits in quarter 1 of 2012, and many believe the real competition has just begun. We think that Apple's US$ 46.33 bln in net sales will motivate the Android- and Windows-based competition to develop more marketable slates. While we're waiting for next gen tablet PCs to take center stage, let's try the list of Android tablet must haves from Tablet PC Comparison .
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. When these first rolled out onto the store shelves they came with Android 3.1 Honeycomb and enough muscle to breeze straight through your typical mobile computing wishes. It now has been updated to the newer Android 4.0 (the tasty sounding Ice Cream Sandwich) and is still one of the most popular non-Apple tablets around.
Archos 101 G9. This ninth generation tablet from Archos has a 1 GHz OMAP 4 multi-core processor from Texas Instruments (which is roughly the same speed as the Galaxy Tab's dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2) and like Samsung's tablet offering, the 101 G9 has been upgraded to ICS. It is one of the most cost-effective tablet PCs in the market, alongside Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet.
Sony Tablet P and Tablet S. If you're looking for a non-traditional slate, then these two should be on your shortlist. If looks are not what you're involved with though, these tablets still have an ace up their sleeves. They're designed basically for entertainment, and with the integration of the PlayStation Store, lots of content (films, music, and video games) are merely a few taps away. The Tablet P and S have accordingly received their ICS upgrades.
Asus Transformer Prime. If you haven't yet fully abandoned the requirement for a keyboard in your mobile computing, then Asus ' offering should fit you quite nicely. It has an NVIDIA 1.5 GHz multi-core Tegra 3 and a mobile dock that turns it into an especially slim and transportable notebook. Therefore this enables you not only to enjoy your content but create content also.
Next gen is just peeping round the corner and Tablet PC Comparison predicts a great year for these awesome units (and tablet users alike) due to stiffer competition. We'll see how everything goes, most especially once Apple releases the next iteration of the iPad. Stay tuned for more tablet PC comparison articles here.
