Hi Alex,
I recently bought an android tablet and I must admit that this toy is really funny to use. This is my first "shot" with this system, and I do not know if this is related to android or the tablet itself, but is much faster than my netbook.
Anyway this is not easy to precisely help you because I don't know what is available (and at which cost) in your country but I know that you are looking for a small device. For myself I choosed an Acer A1-810 for 2 reasons: 8" screen and a low price ($200 cnd). Indeed, I think that 7 inches is too small and 10 too tall. The specs are good: quad-core processor; 16 gig; Bluetooth 4; card reader (very important to me) and so on. However, two obvious weaknesses: the screen (only 1024 x 768) and the sound via a single speaker. That being said, the sound is excellent with headphones and the screen is readable. Overall, this tablet works very well. Not perfect, but for the price I can't complain.
Now after the positive aspects, the dark side of the fun! I'm may be too cautious: you can find a lot of free (and not free) good apps in the android world, but there is a tradeoff and I would summarize this tradeoff as follows: you give some pieces of your private life for them. Indeed many apps want a lot of permissions, access the web, read your mail, identify your bookmarks, etc.
In this particuliar context, even if this is a limitating factor, I will never put my main mail account on it, just to avoid some possible "indiscretions". This is not necessary related to Google (Google knows everything about us anyway!) but mainly to many of the other developpers, more or less eager for our private information.
Hope this help a bit!
