Hi Amit,
Nice alternatives, because Apple never think about normal people apple is only for rich people, their Ipad mini is also very costly, so these alternatives are awesome if you want Ipad like devices and android is very powerful then iOS.
Hi Nishant,
Thanks for dropping your comment mate.
Yeah agree that Apples is not for Normal People, BTW I am thinking to buy iPhone 😉
Glad You liked my post mate.
Cheers !
I would go for Samsung Galaxy Tab its the best ipad alternative , and in fact its better than iPad in many respects
Thanks for sharing this list of Anrdroid tablets. I’m actually thinking of buying one, but I am unsure which one to choose. The plethora of tablets make it so confusing.
I am one of those who prefer android tablets instead of IPad. Thanks for sharing this list.
The thing which disappointed me most was Sony tablets. I expected a bit more from them, but they seem to be lost in the storm.
Hello Amit, I really like Kindle Fire HD! I think when it comes to select one of these Tablet PCs’ it’s more than a personal choice! Some wouldn’t change from Apple to a Kindle or the opposite. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks for dropping your comment and keep visiting CHTG, Soon i am going to publish my another Post here 🙂

Personally think the Nexus 10 is best. Just because I like my iPads screen size.
iPad is surely the best but Nexus is a true competitor to iPad! 🙂 I am not sure if Samsung & Amazon can beat the “i”
Hi Amit,
Thanks for sharing this post with us, Definitely these are the best alternative to iPad. iPad is too costly that everyone can’t buy it, so Just go with these tabs. Also android is the best according to me as its open source. So better to use android.
Thanks once again for sharing this post.
hello amit
i think google nexus 7 is best among all. i love it , it has Tegra 3 processor which makes gaming much more fun. Samsung galaxy is also good but i simply love the Looks and performance of Nexus 7 though it lacks some features
i suggest Sony xperia z tablet and xperia z ultra which is far better than all you mention above ,it has 2.2 GHz processor and 2GB RAM
