By now, you’ve probably seen the Samsung Galaxy Tab tormenter video recording (if you oasis’t father’t concern, we’ve got you covered – Click Here) and you maybe wondering what’s happening in Berlin on September 2nd, as pointed to at the end of the video recording. Well we’re guess it’ll be the functionary proclamation of the tablet, before the IFA kicks off on the 3rd. What is the IFA? Well, it’s one of the biggest consumer electronics shows in Europe and is where Samsung amongst quite a few other manufacturers, have chosen to showcase their latest and greatest inventions.

We already know quite a turn about the Galaxy Tab following the leak from South Korean Peninsula yesterday, but what if the Samsung Galaxy isn’t quite your loving cup of tea? What other Android touting tablets ar we expecting to be revealed at the IFA? Well feast your eyes below for the full tally down of the single we know about:

ViewSonic ViewPad 7

Firstly, we rich person this, the ViewPad 7 which is said to be a cheap and cheerful tablet PC. Cheap and cheerful doesn’t necessarily mean that functionality has been compromised though, with 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD card support, movement and back cameras and a 7 in blind, if ViewSonic manage to get a decent port on this, it could prove a perfective low cost alternative to the Galaxy Tab.

Archos Net Tablets

Next up we rich person not single but five tablets (supposedly) heading to the IFA from Archos. These are said to range in size of it from the 10 inch iPad contender down to a rather miniature 2.8 in tablet which we’re not quite sure qualifies as a pill so much as an oversized touchscreen watch. Anyway, we’re going to assume that this also waterfall under the heading of cheap and cheerful, since Archos aren’t particularly well known for their PC expertness but more so for media players meaning these tablets should rich person quite a wide range of media format documentation.

MSI Windpad 110

MSI are said to be delivery 2 laptops along to the IFA, a Windows 7 touting Windpad 100 and an Android Windpad 110. Although, we’re not convinced by the naming (Windpad – Windows Pad?) and expect to see it carrying a different nickname at the IFA. Both tablets are said to be sporting 1.6 gigahertz Intel Atom processors and a stock UI known as WindTouch (again, Windows Touch?) as wellspring as built in web cams. We’re not sure about this one, it’s rumoured to be around $400 which doesn’t quite put option it in the cheap and cheerful category but likely to be somewhere in between this and the Galaxy Tab.

HTC Google Chrome OS Tablet

Technically this isn’t an Android pill but is definitely worth a mention since it’s advent from the Google encampment. Said to be sporting the vane based Chrome OS and being produced by HTC, this is the only tablet we’ve mentioned so far that could truly spring the Galaxy Tab a tally for its money and given HTC’s recent achiever with its smartphones, we dubiousness they’re likely to ease off the throttle peddle and miss this opportunity to dominate the Tablet market too. We father’t know much about this pill, but you can should expect something rather special, given that Google North Korean won’t want a repeat of the Nexus One, which to be fair is an awesome phone but was far too late to the party here in the UK.

Orange Tablets

Okay, so these probably aren’t going to shuffle an show at the IFA but are still worthy of a mention. A French publication yesterday pointed towards Orange carrying triad tablets in the not so distant future, according to the displacement, these will supposedly be a subsidised iPad, an Android Tablet (Galaxy Tab?) and also an Orange River own branded tablet that is said to be ‘made by a famous Asiatic troupe’ according to the translation and early rumours seem to point towards this being Foxconn.

Well, that about covers all of the tablets we’ve seen rumoured so far that we’re exepcting to see at the IFA and if we’re honest, the real number competition here seems to be between Samsung and HTC/Google. The bulk of the tablets seem to be falling in the cheap and cheerful remainder of the spectrum, we were hoping to see some more in the means of high gear remainder devices looking to spliff it to the iPad. Let us know what you think and keep an oculus on the blog for our tally down of the IFA.
