I've seen literally tons of reviews of upcoming Android tablets on Engadget. I'm very impressed with the iPad (even though it would be a redundant device for me right now), but the more the better- competition in this field can only benefit us. I'm still most hopeful about the Notion Ink Adam. It can't be vaporware, they've had too many prototype videos. The tablets running a complete OS miss the point; it's a dedicated device, so the experience should be tailored to a task. The iPad is a great consumption device (to me it's a Kindle to the Nth degree), the Android tablets will be close to the same exchanging the support of the Apple App store for more platform freedom. The tablets running a version of Windows 7 just baffle me; if you need a complete OS get a laptop.
