Samsung Galaxy Tablet: A 7-inch Super TFT-LCD screen running at 1024 x 600 with 16GB internal storage (expandable up to 32GB micro SD), a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor running Android 2.2. The hardware internals are the same as the Galaxy S smartphone. It also has a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calling/conferencing. It will have access to the Android Market making it a front-runner in the Android side of tablets.
Viewsonic Viewpad 100: 10-inch LED backlit LCD screen running at 1024 x 600 with a 16GB SSD (expandable up to 32GB Micro SD), an Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz processor, dual booting Windows 7 and Android 1.6. The dual-booting of Windows 7 and Android make this tablet unique, unfortunately the Android is the outdated version of 1.6. The weird combination on this tablet makes it too powerful for Android 1.6 and too weak to operate Windows 7 easily.
Toshiba Folio 100: This tablet has a 10-inch screen running at 1024 x 600 with 16GB flash, an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor running Android 2.2. This device should run very quickly based on the pairing of the Nvidia Tegra processor and an optimized Android 2.2 OS. It will fully support Flash out of the box as well. There is a 1.3MP front facing camera for video/conference calling along with a mini HD port for proper HD media connectivity with your big screen TV. There are plenty of additional connectivity options as well from 802.11n WiFi and SD/MMC card support. There will be a 3G version launching later.
Archos 7o Internet Tablet: a 7-inch TFT LCD running at 800 x 480, 8GB flash drive up to 250GB HD, Arm Cortex A8 processor, running Android 2.2. Archos has a whole slew of tablets on the way with the 7o at the top of the heap. The media based side of Archos shows through with the massive hard drive (the device can house anything up to a 250GB HD) for your MP3 collection. With the Cortex A8, Android 2.2 should be blistering fast and having it all on a 7-inch screen should make it winner. Connectivity wise, the Archos 7o has HDMI and USB ports being able to play 720p HD MP4s at 30fps.
Apple iPad: A 9.7-inch LED backlit screen, 16, 32 or 64GB flash, 1GHz Apple A4 processor running iOS. The current tablet king thanks to the interfaces usability and functionality. Within Apple's closed world the iPad is polished and beautiful in both form and function, however if you plan on anything outside of Apple's domain things will change. The hardware is fast and responsive, however there is no USB connector, front facing camera or Flash support (perhaps the biggest drawback).
