The iPad had almost compressed market all to itself in its debut year. Several potential competitors were sent quickly back to the drawing board, or simply dropped purely and simply once the iPad launched and took off. The tab of the Samsung Galaxy was the a rival worthy indeed market last year - and it seems to have mostly good reviews.
This year seems set to see things get a lot interesting ore in the Tablet space. Blackberry - Tablet called the manual - is set to launch in the first quarter of this year and CEO of RIM already considers it "way ahead" and setting the bar for tablets. HP should bring out a WebOS tablet based and we should see a scan of Android-based tablets on the market - even if for the moment they will all be running a version of the operating system as Google themselves is not designed for tablets. Honeycomb - their software "Tablet-ready" isn't due out towards the middle of the year. Apparently, we may see between 40 and 80 touchscreen tablets to an appearance (of any sort) to big CES event this week.
It will be fascinating to see what new tablets will be pack enough punch to emerge as genuine contenders to the iPad. The iPad has a huge head start and we'll probably see iPad 2 come out alongside or shortly after a good number of potential primary rivals.
Upcoming tablets you think will become the best rival to the iPad? Those that you are considering buying this year?
