I think you should go for the Apple iPad because it is the latest tablet available in the market. This has the Apple's operating system. This has the great design. It is very slim and good looking. The touch screen of the Apple iPad is awesome, the touchscreen response is very fast. You dont have to press the screen very hard. So it is a great value for money.

If you are user of the Microsoft operating systems and want to buy the very easy user interface in the Tablet then you should go for the Archos 9 Tablet PC because it has the Windows 7 operating system and it is very easy to use. The Archos 9 Tablet PC supports and can do all the things which you can do on your desktop computer system or on the laptop.
