I know, it's in the same price class as iPad...there are other Android tablet options though .. like the Kindle Fire, but it's custom-built for Amazon media consumption rather than being a generic tablet.

As for the device availability, there's a chance that the Kindle Fire will be made available for orders from France before Christmas (right now it's US only?), so... still possibly a contender.
I'm sure others will have suggestions as well....keep us posted on your direction/choice.
