Overview of Android Tablets on the Market, Classified by Chipsets

I'll be updating this as more tablets are released, and will finish this post when I have time. If I make any mistakes in this table, let me know here.

The problem with getting prices is that it's largely affected by shipping costs.

If you know exactly what you are looking for, you can look up prices on Ebay.

Chinese users should look on http://taobao.com for reliable listings

It's difficult to pin down pricing per tablet, especially on this page.

But right now the two reference prices from the 2 most popular generic tablets on the market

In USD, estimates only
EKEN M001 - $80
Apad iRobot - $120

Then brand name:
Augen Gentouch - $150
Archos 7 Home Tablet - $200
Huawei S7 - $400

 

Fixed wrong CPUs on OMAP, added Freescale iMX515

 

I don't know enough about Tegra 1 and 2 right now. They haven't made it into any products yet that's for sure.

As for performance, some of them have the same application core types (ie: ARM1176). So it's a rough estimate based on clockspeeds (which I hope are at least close to actual figures). I do think I get pretty close.

 

Fixed typo for VIA 8505
Also, most seem to run at 350MHz

Fixing huge mistake for Samsung S3C6410

Look up Cortex A8 VS ARM11

 

Give it another month or so. Right now the market is not significant.

But if you want to start developing, making apps for 800x480 is a pretty safe bet. I'm not sure what apps you have in mind, but you need to target a certain platform (more like price range). I can't tell if Android tablets will get popular yet. There's really not been enough good ones out there.

 

Updated with some new stuff...

 

Thanks for setting this up and getting it started.
Q. What is the ideal and available tablet that would be suited best to start programming for?

My thought is to focus on one device that provides the best platform for doing development for. I have Eclipse and the ADT up and running and have delivered code there.
Now, I want to know next steps. Like building a ROM or whole-new release of the running OS on the device. As well as tablet specific development.
Can you add some details for where you would suggest I get this information?

Thanks in advance
