We all know about the war going on in the tablet market; we all also know about what Apple, Samsung and BlackBerry are fighting for. But, how many of us are aware of the other tablet makers and many different options available through them?

There is a large array of Tablet PC manufacturers in the market now who can be trusted for their quality because of their proven records in hardware manufacturing. However, it is surprising to see how the media ignores these reputable names as if they don\’t even exist in the tablet market!

This article is for those consumers who want to go beyond of what media is talking about right at this moment. Today, we are going to discuss some other tablet computer brands :

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101: Asus is famous for its motherboards; it\’s Eee Pad Transformer TF101 has kept that reputation intact and has been able to capture a sizeable market share in its own merit. With its detachable keyboard and dock, you can use it as a laptop when you are at your desk, or you can use it as a standard tablet. Note that this is an android powered system.

Toshiba Thrive: The best about this tablet is the name of the manufacturer, that is Toshiba; quality of the manufacturer matters. While some say it is bulky when compared to other tablets, full HDMI and USB support, replaceable battery and full memory card slot justifies its design. This tablet also is Android powered.

Creative ZiiO: Creative Lab means entertainment, and this tablet focuses just on that, entertainment. With mini USB port, microSD, HDMI video out and a built in microphone, this tablet has its own position in the market. This one also is Android powered.

Acer Iconia A500: With a stylish design, USB port, memory card slot, Dolby Mobile audio support, this tablet has been called a near contender of Apple iPad, with a price tag significantly lower. This tablet is a true example of how powerful Android platform is.

HP TouchPad: HP has been taking some U-turns in choosing between hardware and software businesses. One of the reasons HP had actually chosen to give up its personal computer business was the failure of its TouchPad tablet. It is the best tablet when it comes to printing directly, however, HP was little too late releasing it and it is now forced to play catch up games with others in the market. HP TouchPad is WebOS powered.

Kross SmartTab: This is another Android powered tablet with full functionalities of a smart phone and a tablet computer, with built-in 3G, Bluetooth and GPS module.

Along with the above, consumers also have choices among MID M80003, Amazon Kindle Fire etc.

As we have mentioned before, Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy and BlackBerry are not the only ones who have Tablet PCs in the market. And, the list above does not cover all the others available either. While deciding to buy a Tablet PC, consumers should not rely only on what the media is talking about now, they should rather do their own research aligned with their own needs.
