The Top Android tablets that received top response in the market – Part 2

2.       Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Since the release of the iPad 2 last year, the market, by and large, lacked an Android tablet that could compete with slim and sleek host of technology gismos. Even before the release of Transformer Prime, techies had fixed their eyes at Asus for worthy opponent to the iPad 2.

The Eee Pad however, surpassed the speculations with a big stride in processor and camera specifications. The Prime was the one and only tablet with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor in 2011. Although there are only handful of games and other applications that can utilize Asus’ quad-core processor, the operating system works wonders on the machine.

Moreover, the tablet has also embraced the latest version of Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich, which before Transformer Prime was only seen in Galaxy Nexus.

With the update, Transformer Prime is the only tablet in the market at the moment to adapt the flamboyant new instalment of the operating system.

In addition to the processor and Ice Cream Sandwich, the tablet also sports a full HD camera that can capture 1080p video. The 8 mega-pixel snapper is one of the best in the tablet market as of yet and certainly bests iPad in the category.

The Prime is also at par with iPad in terms of dimensions; it boasts a 10-inch screen, is almost as thin and weighs nearly the same as the Apple device.

3.       Sony Tablet S

The Sony Tablet S goes above and beyond the typical Honeycomb tablet experience by offering exclusive apps, ergonomic design, PlayStation certification for mobile gaming, DLNA video and music streaming, and an integrated IR universal remote control.

It’s on the pricey side, the charging adapter is proprietary, and screen brightness isn’t what it could be.

Sony took its time with the Tablet S, and it shows. The industrial design is smart, and the software refinements are both practical and restrained.

Sony’s track record in industrial design, hardware engineering, gaming, and media makes it the best possible candidate to challenge Apple’s iPad. A year and a half after Apple’s tablet debut, Sony is striking back with an Android 3.2 slate that is bound to turn heads and win some fans.

Priced at $499 (16GB) and $599 (32GB), and lacking cellular data compatibility (at least in the U.S.), the Sony Tablet S isn’t looking to be an inexpensive iPad alternative.
