All depends on what you want to pay and what you want for it.
As far as I know, any Android phone

it's been interesting to follow the discussion on gnome3,
which i personally found annoying in the extreme (gnome3,

The reviewers all seem quite impressed. Most benchmarks in the same
realm as the iPad (2, 3) (though a smaller screen with fewer pixels to

I got one at Google IO, and it is a very nice device.
Seeing as how I never filled up my little 8GB SD card in my old Nexus
One, I think I will be able to survive in 8GB. Were I buying one, yes,

I've been running Fedora 14 on my Acer Aspire for a number of years. There was

that addressed the problem and I've had no trouble since. On
