Bottom Line: The Nabi Kids Tablet offers a safe and content-rich way for kids to enjoy the tablet experience in an affordable and rugged package. But issues with speed and responsiveness might make some kids cranky.

Bottom Line: The Motorola Xyboard 8.2 includes Verizon’s 4G, but still can’t stand out from the pack of Android tablets.

Bottom Line: The Motorola Xyboard 10.1 is outpaced by other Honeycomb Android tablets which cost less.

Bottom Line: The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet boasts excellent accessories that can transform the tablet into an on-the-go business machine. But short battery life and some stability issues make it a questionable choice for casual and corporate users alike.

Bottom Line: The Android-based Sony Tablet S is good looking and well designed, but it's underpowered, overpriced, and doesn't pull Sony's multimedia services together in a convincing way.

Bottom Line: The price may be right at $199, but the Kobo Vox Android tablet/ebook reader cuts too many corners and falls short of the competition in nearly every way.

Bottom Line: The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the best Honeycomb tablet available, but the OS lacks the tablet-optimized apps to compete with the iPad.

Bottom Line: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is as good as a midrange Honeycomb tablet can get nowadays.
