Asus, a giant Taiwanese manufacturer of world’s best selling PCs and 3rd largest producer of notebook, released its Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet in UK last April 6. The unveiling of this cheap Asus Eee Pad Transformer represents Asus’ competitive move following Apple’s iPad success in the market of mini-laptops.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer is powered by Android 3.0 Honeycomb with NVIDIA Tegra2 1.0GHz dual-core CPU. Android operating system supports fast web browsing; efficient computing functions and comes with pre-installed Polaris Office which allows viewing and editing of basic Microsoft files.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 was initially expected in May but it seems that the decision makers in Acer decided to launched sooner. We are curious to see if Iconia A series tablets (A100 and A500) will run Honeycomb from day one because Google has announced some delays with its Android 3.0. Still, you can buy Acer Iconia Tab A100 in UK from Amazon at the price of 299 GBP and you can expect the delivery to be made after the release date on April 20th.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 is a 7 inch tablet PC, runs Android 3.0, it has a Tegra 2 CPU of 1GHz, 500 MB RAM, 8 GB storage and 2 cameras. (5MP and 2MP).

Acer announced this month another 2 tablets, A500 and W500.  Both are 10 inch tablets. A500 is running Android 3.0 and W500 is running Windows. It is the first producer offering the same tablet with 2 different options of OS. We don’t have an exact release date for these Acer Tablets since Amazon mentions that they will start delivering A500 and W500 on April 20th, same time with the release date of Iconia Tab A100 and Acer announced the release date of Iconia Tab A500 and Iconia Tab W500 on April 6th.

Apple iPad 2 Technical Specifications

Launched today at the CTIA, the two Samsung Tablets, Samsung Galaxy Tab  10.1″ and Samsung Galaxy Tab  8.9″ share quite a few similarities., the most notable of all, at first glance, is how thin they both are. To be more accurate, the new  Samsung tablets are  just .33-inches thick, which really puts the .34 -inch iPad in a less favorable light if you compare the two by their dimensions. Samsung really pushed it to be present today and present their new tablets, although incomplete, which explains why neither could even be powered on. Samsung officials state however that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will weigh 1.31 pounds, while Galaxy Tab 8.9 won’t be more than 1.03 pounds. According to specs, Samsung tablets 10.1 and 8.9 have microSD slots, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and SIM slots, even if they will both feature a WiFi version as well. Another similarity is in terms of camera characteristics, namely a 3 megapixel shooter with an LED flash on the back and a 2 megapixel lens on the front.

That’s about it on the exterior. As for internal features, Galaxy Tabs will pack 1GHz dual-core processors – very likely Tegra 2 since all the Honeycomb tablets so far have used NVIDIA’s silicon, however this is a mere assumption, not to have been confirmed yet. One other aspect we learned about Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is sold with a 16GB or 32GB storage and a 6000mAH battery, while the 10.1 will be available also with both16GB and 32GB and with a 6860mAH cell. Updated: In the press release Samsung included also 64GB model for both tablets.

Both tablets should provide 10 hours of video playback, according to producer.
