Archos has an entirely new line built off Android 2.2 including a 7" and a 10.1 incher.
Announced prices under US$300.
Pocketbook has a 7in Android tablet announced at IFA and that one is a 4x3 format.
Both should let you install reader apps for the various cross-platform DRM schemes as well as Aldiko. And more apps to come, no doubt.
Spec-wise, the Archos is by far the most promising (1GHz CPU, dedicated 3d GPU, capacitance touch screen, USB client *and* host, HDMI-out).
Can you afford to wait a month or so?
Lots of Android webpads are coming.
And then, early next year, the WinTel Tablets are coming.
Everybody was a piece of the action.
