What's the best tablet for 2013? Today's latest tablets compared
and rated - constantly updated
Tablets are taking the world by storm. Just a
few years ago they were an unknown for many people, but nowadays you've got
more choice than you can shake a mildly agitated badger at.
And with choice comes decisions - difficult
decisions. Do you eschew Apple's high prices, join the Android brigade and find
the best iPad alternative? Or do you give in to near-perfection and the get the new iPad?
Luckily we've made it easy for you and pulled
together the top 10 tablets of the moment available in the UK. We'll keep this
listing constantly updated as new players enter the market and the older ones
fizzle out.
As well as reading our comprehensive feature,
you can also check out our top 10 tablets video below.
For those of you who
are still new to the whole tablet game, let us fill you in on what one is:
In general terms, today's tablet computers
sport touchscreens ranging in size from 7- up to 13-inches. These dimensions
are by no means static, and boundaries can be blurred as smartphones get larger
displays, a la the 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Physical keyboards are also a rarity, but
there are the exceptions such as the Asus Transformer Prime and newer Asus Transformer Pad Infinity,
which come with a keyboard dock for the tablets, but there's a new kid on the
block in the form of the Microsoft Surface.
Apps
As with today's best smartphones,
applications play a big role on tablets – once you've decided which of these
tablets if right for you, check out our top app lists so you can get your fill
of Temple
Run, update your friends
on Facebook and read the latest news, all on a bigger screen.

tablets here take your fancy then head on over to ourtablet reviews pages, where you'll find in-depth reviews for
many more models.
Let us know your thoughts on the top 10 (and
whether you think we've got the order wrong) in the comment box below.
10. Asus FonePad
It may be almost identical to the Nexus 7 when
in comes to looks, but the FonePad has a few trump cards including a great
price, microSD slot and 3G connectivity which not only allows you to get online
but also send/receive phone calls and text messages.
You'd be forgiven for wondering why the
FonePad isn't sitting calmly above its Google branded brother, but the Jelly
Bean interface isn't quite as slick (it's packing a dual-core, not quad-core
chip), you can pick up a Wi-Fi only Nexus 7 for less dosh and while the call
function is cool, it's also a little impractical on a device this size.
That said pair it up with a Bluetooth headset
and you might as well turf your smartphone out, as the FonePad can do pretty
much everything.
