The DudsThe tablet market exploded this year. Unfortunately, most of the products that tried to compete with the iPad fell flat. The PlayBook had no game and no one wanted to touch the TouchPad--at least until HP practically started giving it away at $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).
The Motorola Xoom and most of the other bigger Android tablets didn't fare much better. The only bright spot was a string of cheaper 7-inch models, which started with Barnes & Noble's Nook Color and ended the year with the Nook Tablet and Amazon's Kindle Fire.
