| Bottom line | The Acer Iconia Tab W500 works in several potentially good ideas, undone by half-baked physical design that makes it needlessly frustrating to use. | Asus has a fresh take on the oft-maligned Windows
tablet in the fast-running Eee Slate EP121, a touch-screen slate coupled with its own Bluetooth keyboard. | Acer's Iconia Tab offers the features of the Motorola Xoom at
iPad-beating prices but weighs in as the heftiest Android tablet yet. | 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. |
