T-Mobile Springboard 4G Tablet

The T-Mobile Springboard with Google represents the carrier's attempt to make 4G Android tablets more wallet-friendly. Made by Huawei, this 7-inch Android Honeycomb slate costs a low $179 up front then $10 per month for 20 months thereafter, adding up to $379 (not including data costs). Equipped with a Snapdragon processor, loads of apps, and 4G speeds, the Springboard might just be the winner T-Mobile needs.

Price:
$179.99 with a two-year contract, $429.99 sans contact (16GB)

Pros

Solid aluminum construction. Fast and responsive. Excellent 1,280-by-800-pixel IPS display.

Cons

High off-contract price. Partial touch-sensitive bezel can be annoying. Poor camera quality.
