Here's some top rated iPad 2 alternatives. All the tablets mentioned here are brand new models, introduced in 2011, and none require a two-year commitment with a carrier such as Verizon or T-Mobile.

The curvaceous Nexus is the first to run Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). Think of it as Android all grown up. Refined, slick and pretty are not words you'd normally associate with Google's market leading OS.

If you have yet to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the flagship Android phone (for at least a few weeks), then you might want to check out the deal Amazon is now running. As in half off deal. 50% less kind of deal.

This is what I love about the cloud, and Google especially. In goes a new sim card into a Nexus ($289 with two year contract) and minutes later: Voila! All contacts, email, calendar and apps synced.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus has landed today, but even better you can score it on Amazon for only $199. That's about a 33% discount from the $299 you'd pay at Verizon.

We are witnessing the largest upgrade cycle window in Android's young history. There are hundreds of thousands of us Android pioneers who signed up twenty-four months ago on Verizon. Droid Does. We capitulated.

"you can keep your unlimited data even if you get a 4g phone" "nope, my wife just upgraded to a Samsung stratosphere and couldn't keep her unlimited plan." Clear as mud.

For those coming off 2-year old contracts, mostly from the original Motorola Droid (November 2009), it's another hilariously frustrating (yet entertaining) episode in the will the Nexus ever launch mini-series.

I've been on the beta program for this one for a while, and liked it so much, that I bought multiple copies. I routinely use SK X and SK Tablet X on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 7 (original) and on my trusty Moto Droid (soon to be replaced by Nexus... maybe).

I'm not sure I'd take Rezound, but I'd definitely take a Droid RAZR or Nexus over the Nitro. I'm actually somewhat surprised AT&T didn't snag something more differentiated to woo us Androids coming off 2-year contracts.
