Alternatives to the Apple iPad
Crunchgear has come up with a list of possible alternatives to the iPad. However each of these devices have certain flaws due to which they really cant replace the iPad. Good attempt though ! Take a look at some of the better entries in the list below.
Modbook
First on the list is the ModBook which is essentially a MacBook modded by another company in to a tablet form factor. The price for the ModBook is $899 although you need to provide your own unibody MacBook which the company hack up and make in to a tablet form for you.
The ModBook has a 13.1 inch screen, 120GB hard drive, Camera, optical drive, flash support and runs OS X although there’s no 3G like the Apple iPad and no multi-touch. Picture below…

Archos 9 PC Tablet
Another good option is the Archos 9 PC Tablet that costs $549. It runs Windows 7, has flash support, multitasking, USB, SD slot, webcam, stand and a trackpad. However, this tablet doesn’t have multitouch either. Picture below…

Notion Ink Adam
The Notion Ink Adam is another fantastic looking device that if launched, has great potential. The latest we heard is that it will launch in the next few months, so stay tuned. Features included in the Adam are Android OS, multitasking, NVIDIA Tegra 2, 10 inch dual mode screen (colour and ePaper), track pad on the back, USB, HDMI and a 3G modem.
