Archos is said to have two new Android tablets on track for CeBIT
I have high hopes for these tablets. If they have reasonable specs and a low price and I will have one. My only requirement is that they are wi-fi capable so I can tether it to my Hero on the go.

Off topic
I prefer one of this ones:

Yep, that Archos 9 is very cool
Got me thinking about how cool it would be to tether a windows 7 slate. Depending what the final specs and price are when the Lbook T9 is released this march,I may go that route.http://www.slashgear.com/lbook-t9-multitouch-windows-7-slate-tipped-for-350-in-march-0759451/
WOW - This tablet is just perfect and can be bought for a very reasonable price online at Tesco's/HMV/Play/Amazon or Staples (where I got mine for £329.99 - BARGAIN!
It runs Anrdoid 2.2, is made by Foxconn (build quality is excellent!) and IMHO is the best Android device money can by for overall size/usability.
Any plans to open a dedicated forum? Any devs out there able to port Flash or Flashlite from the HTC Legend - I think this device uses the same chipset (MSM7227).
Gotta say, Angry Birds is just right on this screen - the iPad is just too large and cumbersome... At the pricepoint this is currently at, you cant afford to miss it.
I tend to agree with you. I got mine from Tesco for £299. I would also like like to know if there is a hack/app for Flash 10? I am very happy with my N700 in my opinion the best one I've had out of 4 tablets off ebay.

Just wondering where I can get one in the U.S.
Hi people,
This is my first post.
I am looking to purchase a 7" - 8" android tablet for my wife.
I was told that the people in xda - developers know the most about the android so that i why I am posting this question.
I plan on using it for a ereader... but would use it for games, video, etc...
I am not an apple fan, and want the android. I download alot of stuff and thought an android could handle any format I shoot at it, like pdf, txt, etc...
What's your advice? AND THANKS!!!
p.s.
even if you point me to another thread that discusses the best android to buy, that would be great.
Get a Barnes and Noble Nook color e-reader.
Root it and you can transforms it into an affordable Android tablet

eLocity A7 Touchscreen 7-Inch Android 2.2 Tablet , hast HDMI, USB, nvideo GPU, dual processor.
Am I missing something?
No your not missing anything the nook color is a dedicated e reader that is meant for the average to low level using how only WA TS to read books......for you I would go and get a better suited tablet with more options and functions nook is the best dedicated. Ereader out but not even close in being a top android tablet

The nook. Got a recovery
S.I. 77
Now this may be expensive, but I recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab...I mean it lets you surf the net, games, android market, etc.
...But thats just me.
If you want an e-reader, get the Nook Color, if you want a tablet, wait for Honeycomb.

I think I will wait for the honeycomb! Thanks...
I just started doing research. Don't understand the android market place? I would just search for cracked software to install... am I missing something?
It would be used primary as an ereader, she now has the itouch... but it is a little to small. But it will also be used for movies (on plans), reading PDF's, and all other formats. And I will use it for games...lol.
She has dozens of apps on her itouch... I am sure she will download all kinds of stuff for the android.
advice on android tablet
Hi!
For me,
the best tablets on the market are :
- Viewsonic viewpad gtablet 10.1" (android 2.2, capacitive multitouch, 1GHz CPU,512Mo RAM, USB, 16GB,Camera, G-sensor, supports :wav,wma,mp3...;avi,divx,xvid,wmv,rmvb,mkv,mp2,x264,x263; epub,pdf,...)
At OfficeDepot: $379.99
-Samsung GAlaxy Tab(Android 2.2, capacitive multitouch, 1GHz, 512 RAM, front camera,rear camera,G-Sensor, supports all the formats above).Price varies depending on the Carrier($400 to @560).
But , If you really want a very good tablet you might as well wait 6months to the newer versions with android 3.0 honeycomb(OS specially designed for tablets).
Good luck on your new tablet!
The Notion Ink Adam is another device which I think is extremely good - it uses a Pixel QI screen which makes it especially good as an E-Reader. Also it uses a specialised version of Android which makes Android amazing on it. However it is a bit expensive at $550.
I have been very happy with my Archos 70. It comes with a nice eReader and with the Google Market installed, I have the Amazon Kindle app. It is a little hard to find right now, $275 is the retail, which is what I waited for and got direct from Amazon. Although my wife picks it up to read and ends up playing Angry Birds...
I was under the impression Archos had their own market software and thus it made a bit of problems getting the real Market on it. I don´t own one though so I might be mistaken. As for Adam (Notion Ink´s device) yea theres reviews and such but IIRC Notion Ink has pushed Adam back, the pre-oder people aren´t getting their devices because Notion Ink can´t handle the demand or something it´s pushed back for one reason or another (from androidtablets.net) Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb is Android (re)designed for Tablets. My advice wait for the release of Android 3.0 and the explosion of new devices that are sure to follow in it´s wake. This, my guess is, will bring competition and make for a large selection and maybe price wars which is always good for the end users
Nook Color. End of lol.

....apad...epad...lol hope that's more helpful. There's a variety of specs and sizes.
I've recently purchased the Amazon Kindle and it has completely replaced books for me. The e-ink technology doesn't bother your eyes so you can use the device for what its for.
Honeycomb in Eken
I have heard (and read) that Honeycomb is already released.
My questions:
1. How can I have it?
2. How to install it in a Eken tablet?
Thanks for help.
"NOOB, my wife want's a ereader..."
made me LOOL
Cheap alternative
How about Apad , Irobot?
Eken M009s - Android 2.2, 7" Resistive LCD, WiFi, WM8650 300~800Mhz, Oficial Market after updated firmware - 88.99$
Can't beat that price
Hi All,
I am shopping for a tablet, and was hoping some vets can give me some recommendations. I'll give you some info if you can help.
I was shopping for a true table last Nov. and then went into the hospital in Dec. and was laid out for a month. I was gifted with a Nook Tablet. I like the Nook Tablet for what it is, and feel its an eReader with tablet features.
My daughter and I use it a lot, but for productivity it's not all I was hoping for when playing with some true tablets with android apps.
I travel alot for work, so having something which is 7" is greate for me. When on a plane I can shelve my lap top and not fight for space with the person next to me (well there is the arm rest rules).
So, I've taken a few surverys on "What is the best tablet for me" and came down with three:
- iPAD (Not a Fan)
- Sony S
- Samsung Tab
Tiger Direct has a 150 instant rebate for a Samsung Tab 7 Plus at stores where it is still in stock (3 stores in my city have).
My question(s), any feedback between the Sony or Samsung?
Why is the Samsung 7 still available, but the Plus is discontinued?
Should I wait until March or April for either the Samsung Tab 2 or the ASUS model?
Thanks all in advance,
Chris
Get the Acer a500

I understand that these two tablets are completely different.
I sold my desktop (to pay bills) and now im looking for something new as a replacement. This is the exact reason I want the T100, as its windows and I can install x86 programs for it. Additionally, it has office (which I can use for work). It comes with the keyboard too
I love the G-pad because its android, itll work flawlessly with my optimus G. The build seems (from reviews) much better, the screen is better but is only 8.3" compared to 10.1.
G-pad being cheaper too.
What do you guys think?? Want to hear your all's arguments or questions that'll help me decide. :victory:
