With CES 2011 upon us, we must acknowledge that 2011 could well be the "Year of the Tablet". Everyone—Motorola, Dell, HP, HTC, Acer, you name it—is releasing a tablet or three. If you're ASUS, you're announcing four different tablets today. If you are ASUS, I'd like to offer my congratulations and best wishes for this full-on assault of the tablet market. Chances are though, you're not ASUS, so here's the rundown on the four new devices.

Three of them are Honeycomb-based tablets, joined by a traditional Windows slate. Looking at the Android-based Eee Pads, we have the MeMO, a 7" Snapdragon slate, the Transformer, a 10" Tegra 2 slate with an optional keyboard docking station, and the Slider, a 10" convertible tablet with a sliding, tilting keyboard. The Windows tablet is called the Eee Slate EP121 and features a 12.1" display with an active Wacom digitizer and Core i5 UM power. It's a pretty impressive looking bunch, so read on for more details and analysis.
