Give it six months.
They're coming.
You'll have a choice between webpads in the US$200-300 range and CoreULV-driven Win7 (or Linux-based) tablets in the iPad range.
Checkout the Asus EeePad as a sign of things to come at the high-end:

At the lower reaches:

The Android WebPads are waiting on Android 2.2 and the Win7 Tablets on the dual core Atoms.
So your choice will be between a web-centric appliance or a full function slate PC.
If you really can't wait, the Viliv X70 is here today at iPad pricing:

Time is on our side; fun stuff is coming.
