By Peter Jones-Robinson


For those who have not noticed, the past 12 months have seen launches of several Tablet PC's. While Tablet PC's have been around for many many years, the tablet computer is becoming trendy as a result of Apple's iPad. The iPad is presently one of the most well-liked tablet computers, but now a lot of mainstream companies like Dell, Samsung, HP and Blackberry and HTC are actually presenting credible ipad alternatives. Here is a shortlist on the leading iPad alternatives presently on the market.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer The Transformer is a rather unique device. It is a tablet PC which has the option of being able to transform into a mini notebook if you purchase the detachable keyboard. The system runs Google Android and at the time of writing is definitely one of the best ipad alternatives on the market

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 This tablet is the one to watch. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 may be the thinnest and lightest ten inch tablet on earth, even when compared to the iPad 2. So in case you can't live not having the Asus detachable keyboard, the Galaxy 10.1 Tab would be the ultimate iPad assassin!

Motorola Xoom Motorola's offering to the tablet PC market is the Xoom. The Xoom is a good all round tablet Computer and runs the second generation Android 3.0 operating program. Under the hood is Nvidia's impressive Tegra 2 chip. The Xoom is powerful, quick and as you would expect from Motorola, really mobile.

BlackBerry Playbook The Blackberry Playbook has been created with the business user in mind and as you would expect from Blackberry, it does business tasks great. It is incredibly mobile, measuring 130x194mm it is small enough to fit into a purse and even operate with one hand. Having said that, this is where all the accolades for this gadget being an ipad alternative ends. The Playbook runs on RIM's blackberry operating system, and there is a remarkable lack of apps for it when compared to the Android or Apple apps market. This is the problem with blackberry devices at the moment and why the company is losing the mobile market battle. The Playbook is impressive nonetheless and is a more than capable multitasking device, if only it ran Android.

LG Optimus Pad The Optimus Prime, sorry Pad is a great looker and LG has outdone themselves in designing a cool and sleek looking ipad alternative. It has the unique selling point of having dual 5mp rear facing cameras for 3D recording. Also to make everything run smoothly is a dual core Tegra 2 chip, a decent size screen and the latest Android operating system. It goes without saying that this is an all rounder and very nice tablet PC, however the price will be a turn off for most people's pockets.
