2011 is almost coming to an end, but there's still a whole bunch of gadgets that haven't hit the shelves yet. Today, we'll take a closer look at some of the upcoming Android tablets that we hope to see before the world, we mean year ends.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 or Tab 730
After the success of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 750 as it's known in India, the next big thing or should we say smaller thing, is the Tab 8.9 or the 730. While both tablets were announced at the same time, we still haven't seen the smaller sibling.

After the success of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 750 as it's known in India, the next big thing or should we say smaller thing, is the Tab 8.9 or the 730. While both tablets were announced at the same time, we still haven't seen the smaller sibling.
A good portable option
The great thing about the Tab 730 is that it's almost identical to the 750 but it's smaller, thus making it a lot more portable. The tablet is powered by a 1GHz Tegra 2 processor and runs Samsung's very own TouchWiz UX interface. It also has full HSDPA and HSUPA 3G support. The following are some of the highlights of the tablet:

LG Optimus Pad
LG is simply following the natural state technology evolution and has taken their mobile handset 3D technology to the tablet. Their LG Optimus Pad is designed for users looking for a larger mobile 3D experience over and above a mobile handset.
3D on a tablet, that's how LG rolls
With a 1GHz Dual-Core processor and Android Honeycomb running things, the Optimus Pad should prove to be quite a contender in the tablet race. LG has also made sure that your regular media capabilities are unhindered by providing DivX and XviD codecs with the device so reading standard AVI files on the go shouldn’t be an issue.

ASUS Padfone The never ending argument is whether screen size is more important or portability. The ASUS’ Padfone concept has been around a while now, and it’s only recently that we saw ASUS’ top man Jonney Shih showing off the Padfone. Turns out, the Padfone will make itself pubic in Q1 2012.  Is it a phone or a tablet? You decide The tablet-phone combinations brings the best of both worlds. When you’re out travelling, a simple phone is all you need. Get back to your office or home, and you can easily dock the phone into the tablet. It will enable you to have more flexibility as well as have an extended battery life thanks to the battery in the docking tablet.
