A look at what's currently available in the tablet world and what's coming down the pike.
The tablet market is like that kid in school who, at first, no one really noticed. Then, a year later he starts the school year a foot taller, with a new wardrobe, and suddenly everyone wants to be his friend. But, does he deserve his newfound popularity?
I really don't know. Personally, I've yet to purchase a tablet, and I've still not seen a compelling reason to do so. Still, millions feel differently and have already dived full on into the tablet sector.
Yet, every day there seems to be a new announcement of another manufacturer's plans to release a tablet. It's getting confusing and a little crazy out there, and we at CNET wanted to provide you with a snapshot of not only the current tablet landscape, but a look into the near future and how it's evolving.
We've compiled a list of all the major U.S. released current tablets interwoven with all the tablets yet to be released in the U.S. This list will focus on non-Windows tablets only for now. Enjoy, and if there's any other information you'd like to see on this list, let us know in the comments or via e-mail.
Look for this post to be updated frequently. The post date will be changed each time an additional tablet is added to the list; however, the date won't update for simple changes like price, release date, etc.
Clockwise
from the top: The Toshiba Excite 10 LE, Sony Tablet P, and Samsung
Galaxy Tab 7.7 are setting a high design standard for upcoming tablets
in 2012.
