The holidays are upon us this year. Those of you who are yet to catch up on their last-minute holiday shopping, here is your golden chance! We present before you a list of the top 5 titillating Tablets for 2010. These devices make great gifts for end users and developers alike.
Choose your pick from among these Tablets and indulge yourself and your loved ones.
1. Samsung Galaxy Tab
Not for nothing is the Samsung Galaxy Tab right on top of our list of tablets. This amazing 7-inch device is powered by a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU and runs the latest version of Android, the 2.2 Froyo.
The Galaxy Tab offers you a microSD card slot for expanding storage and support for Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS and 3G data.
Though not as good-looking as the Apple iPad, this one has stunning design and is also quite light to hold. This is just the right device if you are looking for something stylish and feature rich, while also not totally beyond your budget.
2. Apple iPad
The Apple iPad created hype during its launch and lived up to much of that hype. Great in the looks department and easy to understand and use, this tablet also offers long battery life and speedy performance.
There are the cons too, of course. The device does not offer Flash support and multitasking is absent. Also, it is a bit bulky and does not provide external slots either.
This one has been quite popular among developers as well, though some tend to find it too pricey to create apps for this device.
3. Dell Streak
The Dell Streak is a device that is promoted by Dell as a hybrid – part smartphone and part tablet. While it is larger than most smartphones, it is also smaller than the average tablet.
Running the Android OS, this 5-inch device comes with a touchscreen display, which supports multi-touch functions and gives great picture quality.
Additionally, the Streak comes with dual cameras; support for GSM/EDGE/HSDPA, WiFi and Bluetooth; GPS, microSD card slot and more.
4. HP Slate 500
We had waited with bated breath for the HP Slate. Now it is finally here. The 8.9-inch tablet has a capacitive touchscreen, which offers multi-touch and finger control options, as also the new digital pen specially designed by HP.
Powered by a 1.86GHz Z540 processor, the device offers a 64GB hard drive, HDMI port, SD card reader, VGA camera, extra 3MP camera, WiFi support and USB port.
5. RIM BlackBerry PlayBook
The BlackBerry PlayBook has yet to enter the market. RIM has already unveiled the device and announced that it will be available from early 2011.
According to the company, this device will be like nothing seen ever before and will pack powerful features, which will make it stand head and shoulders above the rest.
As most of you are well aware, RIM is already trying to attract developers to the new BlackBerry Tablet OS to develop apps for the same.
