Best New Tablets of 2012

This page is focused on newly released tablets and upcoming tablets. I've included links to news stories and reviews. My focus is on all tablets, including Android tablets, Windows tablets, the Apple iPad, and more. Manufacturers include HTC, LG, Samsung, and others. Sizes range from the smallest 4 and 5 inch tablets to the larger 7 inch and 10 inch ones.

A hot new trend is the phablet, which is a phone tablet hybrid. These are usually 5 inches and may come with a pen stylus.
