I am looking for a tablet. I don't need something for serious work. I am looking for a device that will allow me to surf the net, watch movies, check email, and the like when I am traveling. I have a full computer at home but I can see myself playing stupid facebook games in bed while watching tv with the Hubby.

I do not want an IPad. I want to be able to play silly facebook games on my tablet. I tried my friends IPad and the games I played did not work on the IPad.

My Husband has an Archos HD device that is 4 inches big and he really likes it.

I am looking for something under $300 and would like something 7-10 inches. I don't need 3G, I won't be using it enough to justify paying for a data package and I am counting on being able to use WiFi in places that I travel. That could be a dangerous assumption though.

Right now I am looking at the Archos 101 Internet Tablet.

I am open to anything. I would love to know what Amazon is going to release but I doubt that I am going to find out in time for my Birthday and I would like something for a trip to Hawaii and Australia in October.
