    Hi.
    I was thinking of getting an Android tablet.
    I see that the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab are 400 euro and upwards (and that's just for the wifi versions :eek:). And i can only imagine the Ipad is more.

    Then i start i asking myself wtf am i at. I've got a laptop, a netbook and a smartphone- is this just gadget lust. What can these things do that the above can't.
    Then i think about how cool all that touch/zooming stuff is on a 10 inch screen :confused:. Then i think "are these things a bit unwieldy- i mean they don't come with a stand, how do you type on them without placing them flat etc etc etc.
    I'm conflicted.
    Basically where i'm at now is "where can i get a decent tablet for about 300-400 (with wifi and 3g and a decent bit of storage).
    I dunno if i can justify greater expense on something i'm not sure about (notwithstanding the cool factor of these devices).

    Now i know there are tablets knocking around for 100-200 quid (with possibly similar specs to the Xoom) from the likes of Archos but i dunno if i want them either.

    So any suggestions for a keenly priced, decent specced 10 inch tablet.
    Thanks.
