All, I have the money saved up and am going to buy a tablet. No more speculation, it is going to happen.

I want to have something that is easy to use so that when my baby comes in July I have something I can use in between feeding, changing diapers, and napping without going downstairs to my main computer.

I have taken a look at the Galaxy tablet but I am just struggling with paying over $500 for a tablet. I want a 10 inch tablet so that I can enjoy movies and tv shows when travelling and I just like a larger monitor for playing silly games and checking email.

I am looking at the Archos 101 G9 16 GB version. I have no intention of paying for a data package so I am fine with the WiFi varient.

Has anyone here played with the Archos 101 Tablet? What thoughts do you have on it? Are there other options available to me?

The IPad is out. Yes it works wonderfully and all that fun stuff but I have decided that I am not buying anything Apple. Their role in Agency Pricing pisses me off, and has cost me money, and I just can't bring myself to buy into the cult.
