Apple's iPad is a dominating force in the tablet market, but it's not the only option out there. Since late last year, many new competitors have jumped into the space with their own interpretations of what a tablet should be. And more than a few can offer the iPad 2 formidable competition.

The Bottom Line Sleek, sexy, and light, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets as close to the iPad 2 as any Android tablet before it. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a low-price, quality Honeycomb tablet with useful options. The BlackBerry PlayBook ably showcases RIM's powerful new mobile operating system, but its middling size diminishes many of its best features. Thanks to its high-quality screen, streaming TV features, and 4G support (if you're willing to sign a contract), the T-Mobile G-Slate is one of the better Honeycomb tablets on the market today; however, its high no-contract price ensures that it's not the best. The TouchPad would have made a great competitor for the original iPad, but its design, features, and speed put it behind today's crop of tablet heavyweights.
