10-INCH TABLET RUNNER-UP: iPad 2.

Again, disappointing from the competition that the iPad 2 is still one of the best tablets on the market, even though it's a year old.
But you can attribute that to Tim Cook's magic supply chain, which is literally years ahead of other manufacturers. So much so that Apple can afford to drop the price of the iPad 2 by $100.
When it comes to hardware specifications, the iPad 2 is still a beast with a 1024 by 768 pixel resolution that tops a lot of the existing competition and a 10-hour battery on wi-fi.
That makes it not only one of the cheapest 10-inch tablets on the market, but one of the best as well. You won't get more bang for your buck than the iPad 2, and you'll have access to the hundreds of thousands of apps on the Apple App Store. <
