An Android tablet is a tablet-sized PC that runs on Google's Android operating system (OS). Android tablets include almost all the key features found in a regular tablet PC, including office applications, games, Web browsers and many other programs.

However, because the Android platform is designed by Google, Google's cloud-based applications are integrated into Android tablets. By default, emails are sent and received via Gmail; videos are broadcasted on YouTube; the world map is explored via Google Maps; books are read with Google Books; video chat is facilitated by Google Talk and Internet browsing occurs via Google Chrome.
