It has been nearly a year since the iPad launched, and manufacturers have been hard at work trying to catch up and compete with Apple's popular tablet device. The closest competitor so far is Samsung's Galaxy Tab, the company recently announced it had sold 1 million Tabs in less than two months.

Smaller manufacturers such as the India-based startup Notion Ink are also trying to bring tablets to market. Here's a look at some of the tablets available today, as well as some of the anticipated slates set to debut next year.
