Judgement

Try it before you buy it!

At a price as low as £199, Kindle Fire is considered to be a steal by many. But at that amazing price the device doesn't offer some basic features like no 3G or Bluetooth connectivity. So, Amazon will have to upgrade it sooner or later if it dreams of competing with iPad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1

Apart from the Kindle Fire, Motorola Xoom and Blackberry Playbook come loaded with features. But our recommendation to our readers would be to first gets a hands-on experience of the tablet and then pick the best of these best tablets up for the grabs!
