This could easily be called the year of the tablet. Apple kicked off the craze in January when it unveiled its iPad. By the time the iPad went on sale in April, the device had racked up so much buzz it was clear Apple had produced another hit.
Greater choice is always a boon for consumers, but the influx of tablets could also sow confusion. Though tablets tend to look the same on the surface, manufacturers are trying to make a mark by incorporating special software and high-end components.
A less obvious but equally important consideration is the operating system. Some tablets, such as HP's Slate 500, are specifically geared toward business users. The Slate, accordingly, runs Microsoft's Windows 7 and has a USB port for connecting to printers. It went on sale in October; reviews so far have been lukewarm. A number of other tablets are based on Google's Android mobile platform.
Price, naturally, is another major factor in selecting a tablet. With tablets, as with netbooks, price comes with a twist, since most versions can be purchased as wi-fi-only models or with 3G cellular data subscriptions. The 3G versions usually cost less up front but add up to more money over the length of their contracts--which, like cellphone plans, often run two years.
