2. Optus MyTab Android tablet
The Optus MyTab isn't super quick and it doesn't support multitouch or Flash, but at this price we aren't sure that it needs to. Provided you are willing to live with its limitations, the MyTab is a cheap Android tablet ...

7. HP TouchPad webOS tablet
It's a shame the HP TouchPad has so many issues in its current form, because it's an impressive device to use on the whole. It does boast some class leading features, and its interface is in our opinion the best ...

8. Toshiba Tablet (AT100)
Toshiba's unimaginatively named "Tablet" (AT100) tries to stand out from the pack by offering a removable battery, full sized HDMI and USB ports, and a full sized SD card slot. Unfortunately, Toshiba appears to have opted for a poor quality ...
