After posting about user satisfaction with regard to the Kindle Tablet earlier today (see: gdgt.com/question/do-you-still-like-your-amazon-ki...), I decided to take a quick look at the top rated tablets on gdgt (based on a minimum of 5 user reviews). Here are the top rated tablets as of December 12th, 2011 (Reviews are based on a 0 - 5 point scale).

Read my initial post again. It didn't meet the criteria for this search. Tablets must have at least 5 reviews. I can rerun the search for tablets with 4 reviews next week if you'd like. I had to set an arbitrary cutoff somewhere. Tablets with 5 or more reviews seemed like a fair benchmark.
I have a Toshiba Thrive and i am very pleased with it. Ihave bought it on sale for $300. It has full array of ports, has Honeycomb 3.2, a 10.1" screen, runs pretty much all day on one charge. It is a bit on the heavy side with 760 gram.

I got a Kendle Fire a couple of weeks ago. I have had an iPad since the first one came out. The Fire is not an iPad by any stretch of the imagination but it all most users will ever need. If you had never seen an iPad the Fire would be a revolutionary product.
