The iPad has become one of the most sought after electronic devices on the market. People have been constantly talking about it ever since its release. It seems like the iPad is at the top of the market when it comes to tablet computers. However, Apple's popular device will be facing some stiff competition soon as people become aware of the other great tablets in the market.

Let's talk about the iPad's competition. Although there aren't as many tablets like the iPad, the device is still up against a lot of other electronics. When it comes to being used as an e-reader, Sony's ebook reader devices and the Kindle is still giving the iPad some resistance, especially since these device are cheaper.

People are also choosing netbooks and small laptops because they want to be able to use their applications when on the go. The iPad uses an operating system that is not compatible with the applications that are being run on regular computers. If the iPad's operating system was fixed to support these applications, it would be another story.

Applications make the iPad very attractive. There are many publishers that are releasing games as a downloadable app. That doesn't mean the iPad will be dominating the handheld gaming market anytime soon. They are up against the popular PSP and the Nintendo DS which continue to be hot sellers.

In response to the iPad, many companies are coming up with their own tablet computers. For example, the HP slate is a tablet that can run flash and also has a multi-touch friendly version of windows 7. For people who want to run Windows applications on their tablet, this is the perfect choice.

The Notion Ink Adam is another upcoming tablet. What makes it interesting is that it can switch from color to black/white so that you can use it as a tablet and as a e-reader. It also runs on android, supports flash, as well as the popular web browsers (Chrome, Firefox).

Archos is really making a big statement with their low budget tablet. While the Archos 7 processor isn't as good as the iPad's, it can run videos and applications without any problems. The company also released the Archos 9 which runs Windows 7. It features an HD 1080p screen, 32 GB SSD drive, and a webcam. Cable and internet bundles will help you stay connected with the device.

Speaking of bundles, many devices have Ethernet, wiFi, and Bluetooth capabilities. You can go withcheap cable and internet packages stay connected. You have many options when it comes to staying connected so that is something you don't have to worry about.

While the iPad is still a hot selling product, it looks like Apple is against some stiff competition. The other tablets in the market have an operating system people are familiar with, support flash, and come with more connectivity options. Many people will soon realise that there are some great alternatives to Apple's popular device.
