The problem Android Tablets had in 2010 was that Android OS was not suited for use on Tablets. Hence most of the 2010 Android tablet models could not compete with the awesome performance of the Apple iPad. However, a number of them, notably the Samsung Galaxy Tab made some impact. This is likely to change in 2011 with the launch of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), an Android OS specifically designed with tablet computers in mind. Already a number of tablets have been announced with the Android 3.0 OS.

Here are a few Android Tablets to lookout for.
