Uh-oh. Somebody gave me a fancy background and a camera, and told me to talk.

And I did … on the current state of the tablet game, starting with Apple’s new iPad 2 and ranging through the competition. How does Google’s approach to Honeycomb differ from Apple’s with iOS? Why did HTC go with Android 2, and not 3, for Flyer, their first-ever tablet? LG’s T-Mobile bound G-Slate: More than just a 3D gimmick? Is it too late for HP’s TouchPad, or does webOS finally have the marketing and production muscle it needs to succeed? Will BlackBerry’s PlayBook run Android apps and make a splash outside of the enterprise? And what about Barnes & Noble’s nook Color – is it actually the sleeper hit of the tablet marketplace?

Answers to these burning questions and more! Right here on video.

Noah Kravitz mourned the day that Star Castle was replaced in the pizza parlour he frequented as a kid. The sadness ended when he saw an older kid make it to the Ninth Key level on the Pac Man that took his place. Years later he’s become a fixture of consumer tech reporting on the InterWebs and TV, and Galaga vies with Zoo Keeper as his all-time favorite arcade games. His loves of music, games, TV, video editing and yapping endlessly at anyone who’ll listen have all been channeled into an Internet addiction that spans screens big and small and devices portable, pocketable, and best left on his desk. Noah has been reporting on gadgets and media for a decade and a half now, including writing, podcasts and videos for PhoneDog, MacDirectory, Maximum PC, PowerBook Central, and a few other publications. He’s also written about the arts, education, and sports for some magazines you’ve likely never heard of, and has invaded your television talking about consumer electronics on CNBC, Fox Business Network, and a host of local TV stations.
