| Bottom line | Though it prevents a "pure"
tablet experience, the Asus Eee Pad Slider's built-in keyboard is a welcome feature for those who break into cold sweats whenever typing on a tablet is mentioned. | The
Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet, with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera. | The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb
tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery. | 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 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. |
