Tablet PCs have become the must-have holiday gift. This year though, Apple's iPad is no longer the only tablet on the market with significant "wow factor". Here's a list of the best tablets available for Christmas.
With the increasing popularity of tablets in both the home and enterprise, many companies have released their own version of the handheld device; with the exception of Hewlett-Packard, who recently bowed out of the competition by discontinuing its TouchPad range.

If travel is part of your work agenda, then it’s vital that you explore the available tablets that are on the market today. Comparing specs is one thing, but finding relevance to your own specific needs is worth considering.

Optus has announced it is now offering the Motorola Xoom Android ‘Honeycomb’ tablet little more than a month after Telstra launched the device in Australia.

Telstra will be the mobile carrier to launch Motorola's much-hyped iPad competitor, the Xoom tablet, one of the first to run Google's Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' operating system.
The Motorola Xoom tablet ships with version 3.0 of Google's Android operating system (Honeycomb). Honeycomb is the first version of Android that has been designed to run on large-screened tablets instead of smartphones. In Australia, the Xoom will launch on Telstra in May. The telco is yet to reveal pricing details.
