I know from my experience that big companies like Apple and Amazon always try to secure their ground by eliminating the competition little by little. I was surprised to see Apple don't doing anything in the tablet market, where the competition is coming closer and closer each day, eating into the iPad's market share.

That was until the announcement of the new iPad, the third generation, which will obliterate the competition in the premium niche. At the same time the iPad 2 was kept to compete with the rest of the pack, including cheap Android tablets, a market that was booming this past Christmas.

AllTouchtablet.com has a post about current best cheap Android tablets you should look for while they'll still be here. By the looks of it Apple is trying to build itself a monopoly when it comes to slate tablets. Can't blame them, considering they were the first with a touch screen tablet.
Are Cheap Android Tablets Worth in the Current iPad Situation?
If you are like most people you don't like spending your hard earned cash on more expensive products if it's not necessary. That's what most people feel when having to buy a slate tablet. In the past two years, dominated by the all mighty iPad in the premium tablet segment, the consumers who couldn't afford to pay 500 bucks for a 10 inch slate always looked for cheap Android tablets, which are priced considerably lower, in the 100 to 200 $ bracket, and some of the models there are quite good.

The one I like most is the Barnes and Noble Nook tablet, a 7 inch form factor slate, with a custom user interface built on to of Android. Why I like it is that it costs a little bit under $ 200 and comes with pretty high end features: dual core CPU, high res 7" display and can be rooted and dual booted with a special build SD card that boots a fully featured Android operating system install.

The other options must be the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, both 7 inch slates, but best in their class of price (200 and $ 250 respectively). The first one is a customized Android experience while the second model is more of a default Android Honeycomb configuration (probably upgradable to Android 4.0 ICS). I highly recommend you look up these two other affordable 7 inch tablets.
