Acer Iconia Tab A700
Details of this upcoming tablet by Acer are a little sketchy but I managed to dig up some tiny morsels of info for you. The Acer Iconia Tab A700 will come equipped with Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream samich. (yes I said samich) and a super powerful quad core 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor. At 9.8 mm it’s not the thinnest tablet around and it’s design is nothing to talk about. It has a rear facing 5MP camera for great video and picture quality and the screen really stands out as far as clarity and brightness goes. It’s really clear no matter what angle you’re viewing it from.
Google Tablet
Google has something up their sleeve. Google’s chairman Eric Schmidt announced recently that within the first half of 2012, just like we now have Google branded phones such as the Google Nexus, we are soon going to soon have an upcoming tablet on our hands from Google also dubbed the Nexus. Schmidt promises it will be a “tablet of the highest quality” and that there will be “brutal competition between them and Apple.
Nokia Tablet
Nokia doesn’t want to be left out of the tablet game and plans on releasing an upcoming tablet that will include the highly anticipated Windows 8 OS to be released around June of 2012. Nokia has dabbled a bit with the tablet market with it’s 770, N800, and N810 internet tablets which were early and futile attempts by Nokia to break into the tablet game.

The MediaPad is an upcoming tablet from Huawei that is actually already released in asia but it will soon make it’s way to the US. The Huawei MediaPad features a Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core processor, Android 3.2 Honeycomb, a 7″ (1280 x 800) IPS display, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi.
