Yeah, I've had an Android phone for some time. You do need 2.2 for "full, official" Flash support. The iPad doesn't officially support Flash either, but there are alternative browsers that can handle it.

The only reason I was really looking into Android tabs is because I found some relatively cheap ones. But if they're garbage as the reviews seem to indicate, I'm not interested in wasting my money. If I'm going to end up spending $500 for a decent Android tab, I'd rather just get the iPad.

Thanks for the input though; that is a good point for anyone looking into similar devices.

FWIW, if I were to get an Android tab, I'd probably go with the new 10.1" Samsung Galaxy. The Xoom would probably be my second choice, but I haven't given that much thought.
