But at the moment, there aren't really any good competing Android tablets at that price.
Google will not consider Android ready for tablets until 3.0, and devices without 3G are not allowed to access the Google app store, so each manufacturer has to set up their own. (Or gain unauthorised access, as some have done). That is why the only mainstream devices available (Streak and Tab) come with phone contracts, and the added expense that means.
There are devices that enthusiasts can poke at and get set up they way they want, but no something suitable for mass market acceptance.
