| Bottom line | The
iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
| The latest
iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply. | If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the
iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money. | 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. | With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless
options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest
iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack. |
