Cisco Cius

Cisco Cius is a tablet faces out toward business users. But high prices, faced with iPad, Slate 2 and continuous delay have also made the list Cius disappointing to users.

Motorola Xoom

Motorola Xoom with Android 3.0 Honeycomb and 10.1 screen is said to rival the iPad deserve. But when users discovered that Honeycomb is really not ready for widespread use and 10.1 inch screen of the Xoom can not fully consistent over iPad 2 screen, the device did not get into of.

Acer Iconia

With a better strategy, Acer will probably change this.

T-Mobile SpringBoard

Cruz Tablet its disappointment with the Android 2.3 operating system, the design is bulky and difficult to use. 300 USD price of the product is attractive, but with much higher quality product to appear, Cruz Tablet really has no place.

Vizio

As a provider of TV, Vizio has released its own tablet, but the device is really hard to compete with iPad and is not an alternative for mobile TV.

Pandigital Supernova

Like Coby Kyros, Pandigital Supernova is a tablet form is almost nonexistent in the minds of people. Devices running Android and comes with a number of attractive features, including output microHDMI and microSD card slot, but the 8 inch screen of the device is surrounded between 7 inch and iPad Kindle Fire 2 9.7 inch.
