ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime UK Review – The First iPad Killer?
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet PC offers a processor that is far more powerful than those available on other tablet PCs, which means it’s lightning quick and offers an excellent delivery of high-definition video and graphically complex 3D games. The ASUS tablet couples a stylish, light tablet that clicks into a keyboard dock to effectively create a netbook for more heavy duty content creation and work. The end result is a highly versatile tablet with a promised operating system upgrade to the latest Android 4.0 software due very soon.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 UK Review
The Iconia Tab A100 is a hard one to call. It has a strong feature set and is the first tablet to run Android 3.2, but equally has shortcomings. However the price is reasonable, the performance is snappy and the choice of good 7-inch tablets available now is limited so this is about as good as it gets if you’re set on this size slate.
Blackberry Playbook 7-Inch Tablet PC Review
The Blackberry Playbook is a very good piece of hardware matched with a slick user interface and snappy performance. However, you simply wouldn’t buy this tablet unless you intended to also have a Blackberry phone. The Blackberry Playbook’s prices are set to tumble as sales haven’t been up to expectations. Depending on how low prices drop and potential software updates, the tablet could become more interesting.
