Right now a rooted / custom rom Nook Color is still the tablet to beat at $250, IMO. The Galaxy Tab wi-fi is a close 2nd at $350, and for those that don't want to mess with rooting, flashing, etc. If you really like GPS and Skype...then the Tab is #1 as far as bang/buck. I don't really need 'em, so the $100 less it better IMO.

The Viewsonic G-tab is good if you like those honking big 10"+ tablets (not for me) but the viewing angles apparently suck on it - and that's a big con in my book. The IPS screen on the Nook Color is a big, big feature to me.

I like the upcoming HTC Flyer (has a stylus!!!) but it'll probably be very pricey.
