...i've got a Toshiba AT100 (Thrive)....np problems except...the sound. I get better sounds from my mobile phone.....
What's the best tablet for sound reproduction..both music and speech ?

I have to say I was shocked at how good the sound is on the new iPad. I'd say it was exceptional for a device of its size. I dont have a massive amount of experience with tablets to make solid comparisons, but its way better than any mobile phone I have heard and comparable with a laptop. I'd even say its better than my 21" TV.

Obviously it would be a CRT one if it existed.

The sound on many monitors and TVs are more shockingly bad.

Then it may have better sounds but loses it's portability

Yes, my iPad 3 has much better sound than the iPad 1, and that wasn't bad.

Still only 1 speaker though

...thanks for all the wonderully 'positive' comments from some of you on here...
I think i'll forget about tablets and start looking for an early fifties..9 inch ..valve tv from Bush or Marconi....with wheels for portability - of course......
Did they have usb's inputs....I can't remember.....

The curve on the glass that does not help when dropped.

No gorilla glass but you do get to have gorilla like arms after a while carrying.

Blackberry Playbook is pretty good, not got an Ipad to compare it too but it does me nicely. Saves me having to take my Ipod dock out to the garden.

Now come on - it's not the size that matters

Of all the tablets I have used the Blackberry Playbook is far and above the best for sound quality, due to the stereo speakers and their positioning. I suspect this may change however when Samsung releases the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as it places the speaker on the front in a similar manner to the playbook.

I have the new iPad and whilst the sound is very good considering its mono speaker it isn't a patch on the playbook (which is let down by the OS and the screen size/quality).

....i've never been a Apple 'fan' and the
Playbook is a different os and too small a screen....so it's got to be Android....

Think this is maybe something you would need to try out in the shop if possible as well as it's not something that gets much of a mention in reviews.

Not surprised your Toshiba one has more sound my Toshiba TV does as well...maybe worth looking (listening) to the Samsung Tablets - my wife has a Galaxy Note phone and that is excellent for the size...although a small Tablet will never be perfect with only small speakers.
