The top 3 competing tablet operating systems are arguably the iOS, the Android 3.0, and the webOS, and here’s why.

iOS – iOS is a fluid and intuitive operating system with plenty of great features. It works well on a variety of different models. It has an easy-to-use interface even for those who aren’t familiar with these kinds of tablets. The iOS is the clear leader when it comes to available apps, with well over 400,000 available. This operating system is the most like that used on an iPhone.

WebOS – WebOS is better designed than some earlier Android versions, though it can take some time to get used to it. You navigate by tapping on icons and cards that are moved around the interface. Once you get used to navigating this way, it can be great fun. The WebOS is the least customizable of the three systems.

Android – Android 3.0, or Honeycomb, is very fluid and intuitive. It also has a great 3D interface. The Android can seem a little tech heavy at times, and it can be a little difficult to get used to if the user is not familiar with this kind of technology. The Android is the easiest of the three operating systems to customize and this is definitely its best feature. You can customize everything from the wallpaper to the widgets. One particular downside to Android 3.0 is that it is not flash ready.

All three of these operating systems are top of the line. The clear winner comes down to personal preference.
