Tablets: The Ultimate Christmas Present

Christmas is two weeks away, and the increasingly popular tablets seem to be landing on wish lists of people of all ages. In this technology generation, these treasured gadgets allow you to explore the intensive app world; applications grant you access to everything from reading a book to booking a flight, right from your mobile device.

However, with the success of all the tablets, which one levels up to the best in the game right now?

Apple’s iPad 2 owes its popularity to its sleek style, extensive App store, cameras at the front and back, 10 hours of battery life, Wi-Fi, and data storage–despite daring prices starting at $499 direct from the Apple Store. Amazon’s Android-powered Kindle Fire is the cheapest of our picks at $199, with up to 8 hours of reading time without recharging the battery. Barnes & Nobles’ Nook Tablet, at $249 on the BN.com website, features up to 11.5 hours of reading time on one battery charge, 1G of RAM and the lightest weight of the three. Whether you’re weighing between the Android and Apple’s iOS, or picking 8GB of memory vs.16/24/32GB, one thing’s for sure: The ultimate Christmas present is definitely a tablet.
