Special report: iPad 3 - what you need to know

Tablets are becoming ever more popular, and are slowly eating away at the laptop and netbook markets. But which one should you get? There’s 10in and 7in tablets, Android or iOS ones. The Asus Transformer Prime has a keyboard dock that turns it into a great productivity machine while the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet has a stylus you can write or draw with and more connections than any other tablet. The mighty iPad 3, meanwhile, has the highest-resolution screen of any tablet ever. We sort the best from the rest regardless of your preference.

Recently got an iPad, as a sofa-based browser and general family toy. And one of the first things that occurred to me, as with all of these tablets, was: Why no IR output? If you're going to have one of these on your coffee table, a universal-remote app would be a real "killer app".

You can get widgets that plug into the iphone/ipad/ipod port, but that's a kludge (and costs fifty quid for three quid's worth of electronics).

Come on you guys? How expensive could it be?

What about the just-released Asus Transformer Prime? I think Tegra 3 soundly thrashes Apple's current offering - and it's next, seeing as the iPad 3 launch is rumoured for Q1, and Apple's rumoured quad core A6 isn't going to be ready until Q3...

Apple fan much??? That comment is almost four months old...

Anyway, nice of TR to include two fully up-to-date blurbs for the Apple products and not a hint of creativity for the competition. Sometimes I really wonder, although I will still keep coming back despite this.

I still personally think the Prime edges out the competition... all this is good for the consumer though so.... game on!!!!!
