WANT!! An android tablet with buttons and d-pad that isn't made by some cheap scary Chinese KIRF manufacturer!!

I'm totally buying this later this year. Archos doesn't make the greatest tablets but they are very good about video playback codecs and they do OK on the hardware side (just not fantastic).

I think a 5" - 5.5" tablet is doable. I'm not sure if it has the market of a 7" but it might. The Galaxy Note sure is nice in hand - and it works one handed well, at least for my long fingers (unlike a 7" device).
