Tablet Wars

The recently announced Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 has a 10.1 inch touch screen, rear camera with 8MP and a 2 MP front facing camera.  It is using Android 3.0 which is the same OS that the Xoom is planning on using.  I feel that this tablet is going to be successful, especially after the very successful Galaxy Tab.  According to Engadget.com, this particular tablet has the potential to give the Ipad 2 a run for its money. 
If you are the type of person who is looking for a more portable tablet, a new 7 inch tablet called the Flyer was released from HTC.  What is unique about this tablet is that it is going back to the days of Pocket Pc's.  It has a stylus that can be used to make taking notes easier and to help edit/annotate books and pictures.  Although this may seem like HTC is taking a step backwards, Engadget.com claims that we should expect to see more tablets similar to this one in the upcoming months.  More info will be posted when I find out about it.
