Sorry to post right after myself, but for the Canadians stuck with a dearth of tablet choice:

Lenovo's Ideapad A1 can be had for $199 (16GB) with a coupon code right now: Linky linky It looks like the next round won't go out until later in November, but it seems to have a working Market on it (earlier Lenovo tablets did not, despite advertising, but some members here have an A1 now and say the market is working).

For the same price as the Vox, but with 1Ghz processor and 16GB storage, camera, offline GPS, etc., I would say it's very much a better buy. I almost got one, but I'm quite happy with my Flyer. Of course, you're going to run into shipping delays, which is Lenovo's theme this year ;-) but you won't run into the Amazon and B&N Canadian prejudice.
