Sony's latest tablet measures 9.4 inches and it comes in a sleek image.

Sony Tablet S is also an affordable gadget

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Compared to the iPad family, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a wider screen that measures 10.1. But the good thing with these cool gadgets is that they don't carry on that much weight and it is thinner than the latest iPad offering. With 1280 x 800 resolution, the Galaxy tab beats iPad once again in the resolution game. Enjoying games, songs, and even movies is also way better and louder than iPad because the Galaxy has this built-in stereo speaker on either side. However, Samsung's battery life only lasts for up to 10 hours, shorter than the S tablet or iPad 2. The process and memory stand at par with that of iPad's, but when it comes to storage, you can only choose between 16 and 32 gigabyte models. 

Summary

It is actually difficult to decide as to which among the S Tablet and Galaxy Tab is better, but clearly, these two top the best in the Android choices. While Sony doesn't have a USB cable and HDMI support, it still boasts of sleek design and software adds-on. While the Galaxy tab seems to iPad's copycat, still it looks and works better. For sale at the same price, ($500 for 16GB model and $600 for 32 GB model), it is pretty hard to choose among the two, so it's up to your personal preferences which cool gadgets to choose.
