What we didn't know, however, is that many of those would be unnamed, non-descript machines, running many oh-so-similar, yet different versions of Android, ranging from Android Froyo (2.2) with a couple of modified variants, several flavors of Gingerbread (2.3 - 2.4) and finally Honeycomb or Android 3.0, the only version of Android that's officially designed for use on tablets.

Don't get us wrong, many of the Android tablets we've seen are very capable and quite usable, but the differences in software can get annoying after you've tried the first three.

Based on visuals alone, we would be hard pressed to choose any of these. The hardware specifications between many of the high-end devices presented at the fair are quite similar, so the choice for potential buyers will ultimately boil down to form factor, software and price.

Still, the subtle differences in style can make the difference for those who care about looks. Check out the gallery below and tell us in the comments which ones you fancy!
