Looking for the best Android tablets before you take the plunge? Well, there are some on the market now, and others coming in 2011, so we will take a look at what is out there now, and what is on the way!

Current Tablets

Currently, at least in the US, picking the best Android tablet doesn’t require you to pick from a long list, as there are very few out the market right now.

First, there is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This is the one I have personally, and I love it. The screen is 7.4 inches by 4.7 inches, making it big enough to do whatever I want, but small enough that it is much easier to carry around than a laptop (which I don’t think is true for an iPad).

Also, the Galaxy Tab is running on Android 2.2 and is on Samsung’s Galaxy S operating system, which I love. It is really impressive, and I think probably the only Android OS that beats it is HTC Sense (but they don’t have a tablet yet!).

Another readily available tab that does not seem to have taken off yet is the Huawei Ideos tablet. (maybe it’s the name!). I did play with this one a bit one day, but, overall I wasn’t terribly impressed, at least not compared to the SGT. However, it did have some advantages, such as a cool built-in stand and the possiblility of using it internationally.

That’s really about all that has taken off in the US so far. The SGT seems to be the clear frontrunner now. However, several new tablets are scheduled to be released in 2011.

Upcoming Tablets

Vizio, the television company, is planning to release an Android phone and tablet, known as the Via. The tablet look s interesting, as it has an 8 inch screen and it supposed to have killer sound, with three speakers. I know I love my Vizio TV, so I will be watching for this one.

There are several others coming too, including the Motorola Xoom, which looks like it will be running Honeycomb, or Android 3.0. This would be a big step forward for tablets, so I guess we will see.

Also, looks like there will be a tablet in the Droid line as well, known as the Droid Bionic. Not sure why Motorola would have two tablets. Time will tell on that.

Really, if you are looking for the best tab right now, get a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Sprint has it for $399, and I think US Cellular has it for $199 (both with data plans). If you want to wait a bit, then stay tuned as we will keep you updated on the best Android tablets!
