2. Acer Iconia A500
This tablet has more memory than the iPad 2 and more ports, making it good for people who want to use their tablets in conjunction with other gadgets.
3. Asus Padfone
Asus's new Padfone is seen on display after a news conference during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona February 27, 2012. The GSMA Mobile World Congress, representing the interests of the worldwide mobile communications industry, will take place from Feb. 27 to March 1 in Barcelona.
4. Asus Slider
Another tablet that has a keyboard, the slider has a cool form factor that’s different than your average “screen surrounded by black plastic.”
5. Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 700This new version of the Transformer Pad Infinity not only has the keyboard and the cameras but comes in a range of attractive colors.
6. Asus Transformer Pad TF300
The Transformer line comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, making it much easier to type on for longer e-mails or short memos.
7. BlackBerry PlayBook
The PlayBook’s smaller form factor and integration with BlackBerry smartphones recommend this tablet to its very specific niche.
8. G-Slate
This tablet has 3-D capability. Sure, it requires those red-and-blue affairs, but it’s neat enough if you’re into the gimmick.
9. Galaxy Note tablet
Samsung is still arguing that its new Galaxy Note 10.1, with its S-Pen stylus, beats any version of the iPad in the content creation game. The new iPad, however, steps into its network connectivity territory by offering 4G data speeds.
10. Galaxy Note
Not quite a phone, not quite a tablet, this five-inch hybrid comes with a stylus and is good for people who want their tablet more portable than the iPad but don’t want to squint to read on a smartphone.
11. Galaxy Tab 10.1
This near iPad clone has been out for some time now but is a tad bit lighter and, of course, supports Flash.
12. HTC Flyer
This seven-inch tablet works well for people who like to write, runs Android Honeycomb and comes with an optional pen for highlighting, annotating and drawing.
13. HTC Jetstream
Like the HTC Flyer, this tablet comes with HTC’s Scribe pen but also comes with 4G connectivity.
14. Kindle Fire
Although Apple lowered the price of the iPad 2 to a $399 price point, Amazon's seven-inch tablet still has a price advantage over the iPad, starting at $199. The Kindle Fire also has access to Amazon’s huge retail store.
15. Motorola Xyboard
The update to the Xoom, the Xyboard beats the iPad 2 in the camera department, with an 8MP sensor.
16. Nook
Great for reading, the Nook Tablet’s screen is easier on the eyes than the iPad and, with its seven-inch form factor, easier to carry around.
17. Pantech Element
Three words: Waterproof. 4G. $300.
18. Sony P
Sony’s latest tablet has not one but two 5.5-inch screens, making it quite portable and, if nothing else, different.
19. Sony S
Models show off Sony's new tablet computers, Tablet S, left, and Tablet P during a launch event in Tokyo Sept. 1, 2011. Sony’s got great design chops, and this tablet’s folded magazine design fits well in hand — better than Apple’s super-sleek slate.
20. T-Mobile Springboard
Super-cheap and with 4G capability, this tablet is good for people who are on the go but don’t fear the two-year contract commitment.
21. Toshiba Thrive
Ports, ports, ports set the Thrive apart from the iPad 2. The bigger version come with a spots for full HDMI, USB and an SD card while the smaller version builds in mini- or micro-versions of all those expandable options.
