    Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

    All the essential launches from Samsung, Sony, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and ViewSonic...

    2011 has been the year of the tablet for the annual IFA trade show in Berlin, as hardware makers once again try to muscle in on the multimillion-selling iPad's turf.

    Alongside the fresh crop of slates, IFA saw a rash of touchscreen smartphones released - and we've gathered together a selection of the hardware unveiled at the show for your gadget-viewing pleasure.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

    Samsung made a number of announcements at IFA 2011, including the Galaxy Tab 7.7 which is the first Samsung tablet to feature a Super Amoled Plus touchscreen with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels.

    Features include a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, support for 32GB microSD cards and a three-megapixel camera.

  • Sony S and P tablets

    Sony S and P tablets

    At IFA this year, Kazuo Hirai, president of Sony's consumer products and services group, showed off the Sony Tablet S and Sony Tablet P.

    The Tablet P folds in half and has two touchscreens which can either be used together as one large screen or separately as two small screens.

    The Tablet S is thicker at the top than at the bottom so it can be easily read when placed on a flat surface.

    To see more on the Sony S and P tablets, and for other products launched by Sony at the IFA, check out Photos: Sony S and P tablets, Walkman and Xperia Arc phone unveiled at IFA.
