The tablet market is like that kid in school who, at first, no one really noticed. Then, a year later he starts the school year a foot taller, with a new wardrobe, and suddenly everyone wants to be his friend. But, does he deserve his newfound popularity?
I really don’t know. Personally, I’ve yet to purchase a tablet, and I’ve still not seen a compelling reason to do so. Still, millions feel differently and have already dived full on into the tablet sector.
Yet, every day there seems to be a new announcement of another manufacturer’s plans to release a tablet. Today is no different, with the announcement of the iPad 2. It’s getting confusing and a little crazy out there, and we at CNET wanted to provide you with a snapshot of not only the current tablet landscape, but a look into the near future and how it’s evolving.
We’ve compiled a list of all the major current tablets interwoven with all the tablets yet to be released. This list will focus on non-Windows tablets only for now. Enjoy, and if there’s any other information you’d like to see on this list, let us know in the comments or via e-mail.
Look for this post to be updated and evolve throughout the coming months.
