Bottom line | With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon
Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been. | With a beautiful screen, fast performance, a comfortable design, and overall great media options, the Nexus 7 is easily the best 7-inch
tablet available and one of the top tablets on the market. | The Xperia
Tablet S has an excellent design, but there are cheaper alternatives that provide similar and better tablet experiences. | With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless
options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the
tablet pack. | The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is one of the fastest
Android tablets out there, combining an already proven design with a better camera, a faster processor, and a beautiful screen. |
