> anything a smartphone can do you can do on a tablet

Sadly, I am not knowledgable enough about smartphones' actual capabilities to know what that includes.

> Android 1.6 device --- not really recommended.

What would be an acceptable Android version? The only program I know I want to add is Kindle for Android, which requires version 1.6 or higher.

> It also won't have Android market on it

What is that? I don't expect to be adding other programs (except maybe a few games, and that isn't a priority).

> The best deal at this time probably is the Nook color

Even on eBay, those are running well over $200. I doubt I can talk DH into letting me spend over $100 for something I don't really need. Which is why I'm looking for alternatives.

> Just about any android tablet will sync with google apps, calendar, contacts, email

I haven't looked into Google apps but I'll switch from Outlook if it will let me get what I need from an affordable tablet. Can it import/export from Outlook? I'd rather not re-enter everything manually.

Thanks for the info!
