1. lots of android tablets have been announced. none of the big IT giant is missing. everybody have either announced or have plan to jump in, very few have been released, but none are matching ipad quality. one big reason is, Android is a mobile stack and not designed for tablets. as a result the screen resolutions are poor and Android has lots of bugs
2. china is a xerox machine of any hot gadget and like smartphones, tablets are also flushing from china. look at alibaba or globalsources. but they too are as similar to their mobile counterparts, ie same baed kuwaalitti. none of them possess any standard certification like CE/FCC
3. There are few Intel Atom based tablets with screensize upto 12 inches. but they are complained for generating heat and poor battery life.
4. As of India, infibeam is the 1st one to release a ebook reader(6 inches) and now they are coming up with a tablet for 15k. we have to wait and see if its worthy and bug free.
5. The (somewhat) most anticipated/expected tablet is not from silicon valley, not from china, not even from silicon valley of india/bengalooru ( there is potential :wink: ) but from hyderabad. Notion Ini'k Adam. ITs even touted and guessed as a good competitior for iPad. Release date is not known, but i guess anytime this year.
6. If you wait for 6 - 8 months, i will show you a great tablet :wink: :D which will have more compelling and useful features than all these
If you seriously want to have a look at the biiiig list of current tablets - www.androidpads.com & http://armdevices.net/category/tablets/

Even phones like HTC Evo and Droid X have touched 4.3 inches, just 5 inch wont make a good tablet. Google & HTC is a vaporware. it wont happen. among others, few are not yet released, others are intel atom based, generating lot of heat and poor battery life. But the one to have a worthy look is Notion Ink's Adam. Every Indian can be proud of that product ( except me :( )
ya. I agree. But i prefer big sized phones to tablets. I know very little abt tablets. My bro loves HTC big sized phones.

as of now, tablets, incl iPad are not good for a laptop/Pc replacement. As of now they are used for 4 things
Media consumtion
Lightweight Office works
Lighweight Browsing (no Flash, Magazine apps not matured enuf even in iPad)
Appstore ( not available in all android tablets)
It will take long time to replace PC but thats where the whole IT cos are headed. It will happen one day
What about digital cameras? Any guidance for a camera with Mega Pixel ranging between 10 and 12 with rich features and lowest in price?
