| Bottom line | The Acer Iconia Tab A100 offers a full
Android 4.0 experience on a 7-inch tablet and can now be found at a very affordable price. | With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the
Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer. | The
Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet, with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera. | The Asus Memo Pad ME172V won't set you back a ton, but with much better choices only $50 away, you should simply pay more now and regret less later. | The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb
tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery. |
