Lately, all the buzz has centered on one tablet, the Apple iPad. After all, the hype is inevitable. The Apple fanboys have decided that Steve Jobs' products are always a "revolutionary success".
However, there are a few other contenders in this new market. Namely, Android, and a collection of other Linux-based tablets that are about to hit the market.
Believe it or not, quite a few exist. The Dell Streak, (above) has a 5-inch touchscreen, a 1 gHZ Snapdragon processor, and a front-facing camera.
The Streak fits in your pocket, and ships with 3G connectivity on a smartphone-style data plan. It also offers an add-on bluetooth headest for just $0.99, so it's closer to a smartphone, than a portable PC.
The WeTab (below) is a German tablet designed as a desktop replacement. It includes a flip-up stand, that allows consumers to comfortably watch movies and consume web content.
With its 11.6' touchscreen, the WeTab is the closest to an iPad-clone, in terms of price, size and feature-set.
It features a snappy 1.66 ghz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and six hours of battery life.
The Archos 7 (below) runs a custom Linux distribution, boasts instant-on capability and has 7 hours battery life.
