On the anniversary of the iconic tablet’s unveiling, the ranks of its imitators is swelling

It’s been one year to the day since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad, and to mark the occasion we’re reposting, below the fold, the most compete list we’ve seen of the tablet computers unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas three weeks ago.

It comes courtesy of CES director of research Shawn Dubravec via the Boy Genius Report.

Note that Apple (AAPL) didn’t actually ship the iPad until April 3, 2010, so these tablets have more than two months to catch up. Unless, of course, Apple ships iPad 2 before then.
