The year 2011 can be well be termed as the year of tablets. While 2010 too saw several tablet launches, following the launch of Apple iPad. The year 2012 saw them going mainstream.
The year witnessed the entry of several Indian telecom players entering the fray and heating up competition on both price and specs front. Here are top tablets of the year 2011.
The iPad2 is a tough one to beat. After becoming one of the fastest-selling products of all time, the iPad 2 still regularly sells out on store shelves. The combination of attractive pricing, powerful hardware, responsive screen and thousands of tablet-specific apps set it apart.
Sony may be a late entrant to the tablet market, but they've come in with guns blazing. The Tablet S features powerful hardware, a distinct 'folded magazine' shape, a high-quality screen, long battery life and a unique universal remote feature, it can be used to control a device that accepts IR commands.
