Not just directed to you Obiwan22 but for every one look to buy a slate. You answered some of these already. This week or next?

new devices coming out all the time.Budget? <$100, 150, 225, 300? More money, more choices.Size 7" small light more PDA shaped or 10" ipad like size weight. 2 main choices, a few 5" or 8" out there.How do plan to use it? Play games, watch video, e-reader, web browser, learn Android OS/programming don't want phone.Features needed GPS, camera, Full size USB Host(can plug in mouse etc), 3G, etcHackability Can root, custom Rom avail/dev, recovery ,etc.For people new to slates I tell them it's like buying a car. What's 'Best' depends on your needs.

[obiwan22]

so which tablet is the best for the money right now?!When I mean best I mean: not many problems and is better than my augen gensh!t lol

 

[okay]

Apple iPad is the best in most eyes, but lacks flash. The Android tablets right now force you to make different trade-offs and most have only resistive touch screens. I think you probably just need to read the different sections in this forum and see where people are complaining the least.

For the right price, if you don't mind Android 1.5 and issues with full screen streaming video, the Apad still isn't bad - especially if you have videos in different formats
