Android tablets had a rocky start, but since Google released its tablet-specific operating system, Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" last year, we’ve seen a steady flow of high-quality Android tablets. And that's a good thing, since they provide viable alternatives to the Apple iPad, which has dominated the tablet market since its first release in early 2010. One of the major benefits of Android over the iPad and the never-quite-caught-on BlackBerry PlayBook, is that instead of a single hardware choice, you can access the OS on a number of different tablets.

The only hitch there: There isn't a single version of Android. Nine months after the Honeycomb release, Google unveiled Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS) last November, which takes Gingerbread (the phone OS) and Honeycomb (the tablet OS) and merges them. Five months later and we've only seen Android 4.0 on a handful of tablets. (Only three of the 10 here currently run ICS.) Android has notorious problems with timely OS updates.

With ICS, Google continues to fine tune Android, making the tablet experience a very good one. The biggest issue with the platform, however, continues to be the lack of tablet-specific third-party apps and an easy way to find them through Google Play (formerly the Android Market).

Amazon plans over the next few weeks to roll out a software upgrade for its Kindle Touch e-reader that includes several useful enhancements via Wi-Fi. But why wait?

The improvements include the ability to switch between portrait and landscape mode in books and PDFs, instant translations of words and passages into other languages, and a text-to-speech feature that reads English-language content aloud.

Impatient Kindle Touch users can install the upgrade today. Here's how:

First, make sure you're not already running the new software. Go to the Kindle Touch home screen; tap Menu, then Settings, and Menu again. Select "Device Info." If the firmware version is Kindle 5.1.0, you're running the latest version and don't need to upgrade.

When it comes to tablet computers, size matters -- a lot. But these devices are definitely not one-size-fits-all. And like Alice in Wonderland, the "right size" for tablets keeps shifting.

That's making the tablet market curiouser and curiouser.

Many iPad users treasure the Apple gadget's approximately 10x7-inch expanse, and I've seen some bristle at the suggestion that this size might be unwieldy. Meanwhile, users of the Kindle Fire or Nook Color often prize having a tablet that slips easily into a pocket or purse for half the price (or less) of an iPad.

There is a large and fast-growing consumer demand for tablets across a wide range of sizes and price points.
