Best 7 Inch Tablets 2012

After the wild success of Apple's iPad, a flux of new tablet models have come onto the market. Not only do you now have a few choices in operating systems, but you also have two main sizes to choose from: 7 inch tablets and 10 inch tablets.

Since the iPad is a 10 inch tablet (almost), many of the early competing tablets have been released in the same size. But some people are finding that a 7 inch size is a bit more portable and easier for tasks like reading. In fact, most eReaders come with 6-7 inch screens making them better for holding upright for extended periods of time.

The other bonus of a 7 inch vs 10 inch screen is the cost. The smaller tablets tend to be more affordable than their larger counterparts and not everyone can afford a $500-600 tablet.

Here I will review some of the best 7 inch tablets on the market today. I should also mention that the highly anticipated Amazon tablet, the Kindle Fire, is a 7 inch tablet and available for order.
