Top 5 Android Tablets

1. Asus Eee Pad Transformer
Best Android tablet for: replacing your netbook

Not only is it powerful and well featured, it's designed to work with a keyboard dock which turns it into a Android-powered netbook. What's more, it costs just £429 on launch, with the keyboard - £379 without. Look out also for the Asus Eee Pad Slider which comes packing a slide-out keyboard - it's coming soon and promises great things!

2. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Best Android tablet for: the out-and-out tablet experience

This has been banned in Europe for the time being as Apple has filed an injunction to stop the sale, as they believe Samsung has copied numerous iPad ideas

3. Motorola Xoom
Best Android tablet for: sleek good looks and solid performance

Best Android tablet for: sleek good looks and solid performance

The Motorola Xoom was the first Honeycomb tablet to hit the shelves, and while it's a lovely piece of kit, its very expensive. Current prices are floating around the £459 which is simply too high! In all other respects, Solid build quality, decent battery life, good performance. If the price drops by another £100, this could become the iPad rival Motorola wants it to be.

4. LG Optimus Pad

Best Android tablet for: Playing around with 3D

Everyone is enjoying 3D. The tablet has dual-5MP cameras which work together to shoot 3D images and record 3D footage. Cool, huh? The problem is that there's no 3D screen, so if you want to watch your 3D movies you'll need to either plug the tablet into a 3D TV or watch in anaglyph 3D on the tablet's screen. If you're crazy about 3D, this is your next Android tablet. Personally I would just save 3D for the big screen, can't beat a good film like Inception in 3D :)

7. HTC Flyer

Best Android tablet for: Portability and fans of Sense UI

HTC has decided to release the tablet running on Android Gingerbread, However, the HTC Sense offers a new range of widgets and content to mask the fact it's running older versions of the OS (although a Honeycomb update is imminent). The new tablet has a 7-inch LCD screen, and comes with an aluminium unibody shell that feels very nice in the hand. However, with a price of nearly £600, can this tablet compete? I don't think so!

Leave comments on what tablet you use and what you think :)
