Well, here is one: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/04/27...ets-paid-apps/

There are others with market access also, but not stock. Some (G-Tablet for instance....a darn nice tablet) require rooting and a new ROM. And let's clear something up right here...if you can follow a recipe well enough to bake a cake, you can root and install a new ROM these days. The developers have made it a snap for most devices. Other tablets (some of the other Archos tablets for instance) need to have a program installed - not a ROM from my understanding.

The whole point is....it isn't tablets cannot access the Market. More to the point, tablets that are "LOCKED DOWN" by the manufacturer cannot access the market because either: 1.) the manufacturer is unwilling to work with Google to get their devices approved, or 2.) the manufacturer is unwilling to allow the open source community to do what is necessary to bring us the market.

I believe that both points above apply to EE.
