The hot ticket item this holiday season is most certainly the tablet PC, but with so many options available in an oversaturated market, it's often hard to decide which one to get.

It's important to realize the distinct differences in models and features to determine which tablet you're looking for. For example, you may find the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablet for $130 at Kmart's Black Friday sale versus what looks like the same tablet at Best Buy for $240, but the difference is in the edition. Best Buy's is more expensive because it's the cellular edition that allows cell service, but also requires a contact with a cell carrier. The same holds true for storage size, screen size, and other tiny variables that make price shopping some devices like comparing apples to oranges.
