Yes, another month and another set of tablets to add to the already 100's of them out there to choose from. Each of the manufacturers playing "catchup" (apparently) with Apple and their proven iPad, then out-doing eachother for "2nd place" it seems.
But with all the hype surround the iPad, and don't get me wrong it is an astounding piece of kit I've owned one before, Im somewhat deterred by it. Is it just me or do you need to feel a bit of substance in your hand when you hold a device?! Too small or too thin and there just isn't enough purchase on the device! This is why I'm turned off by the iPad... to some degree.
Now consider these alternatives *Drum roll please*
The new ViewSonic ViewPad 10s. The successor to the ViewPad 10 is 14.5mm deep! Its glossy 10.1" capacitive multi-touch screen is lush, and is looking like its geared up for Honeycomb!

Other note worthy tablets are the Acer Iconia A100, A500, W500, the up and coming HTC Flyer, the consistent Archos range and the Asus EEE Pad and Slate.
One other mention for those who are on a budget and are looking for something that will suffice, try the Creative Ziio 10.
