Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
This was the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet and although it had a buggy start (no Flash, 4G LTE coming later on, lack of Honeycomb optimized apps), it still stands as a good buy if you don't mind forking out for the higher than normal price tag. Some of the key specs of the Motorola Xoom Android tablet include a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display with 1280:800 resolution, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for HD video capture and 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, full suite of Google Apps and services, access to Android Market, Adobe Flash Player support and a stock Android 3.1 Honeycomb platform.
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer correct one of the biggest mistakes of the Motorola Xoom and that is the price tag. The tablet will set you back $399 (16GB) and $499 (32GB). Now of course, this tablet won't technically be able to "transform" without the keyboard dock. That unfortunately is not included in the package and you will need to plunk down an additional $150. This technically makes $450 the lowest price point you are walking out of with the full ASUS Eee Pad Transformer experience. While it ain't cheap, you're still looking at $50 less than the base iPad 2 model for this WiFi-only Honeycomb tablet.
Apple iPad 2
Apple's iPad 2 continues to be a favorite among tablet buyers. Sharing the same screen size as its predecessor, Apple has upgraded it by including dual-core processors, camera, a thinner and lighter body, and multiple other improvements. It is available from $499 for the base 16GB WiFi only models and is also the only tablet on this list that isn't Android based and also available in color options (black or white).
Acer Iconia Tab A500
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is another well price Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet set to hit US shores very shortly. The Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet with a 10.1-inch display (same as Motorola Xoom) will reportedly cost $449 and deliberately undercut the base iPad 2 model which starts at $499 (16GB WiFi). For that price, you get a Honeycomb tablet packing a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front camera, microSDHC slot and HDMI output. There is also some custom widgets, DLNA media sharing using clear.fi and a couple of other handy apps. Expect some great games as well like Let's Golf and Need For Speed: Shift
Nook Color
Now we know that the Barnes & Noble Nook Color is technically classified as an e-reader however the developers community have managed to turn it into a full fledged tablets that comes in as the cheapest on our list. Sure, it lacks a little processing power and you have you work cut out for you in the start, but once setup it shows that there's more to it than just being an e-reader.
