Ive kinda been in a similar boat as ColdSun. Im looking for something book sized with a color screen. For me it needs to be touch and no more than 300 bucks. I found this lurking in the news section

http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/

9.4" x 7" x 1.4" for 2 lbs (with keyboard)
ARM Texas Instruments OMAP3 chip
1024x600 8.9'' screen
Storage: 8GB micro SD card
Wifi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth
3-dimensional accelerometer
Speakers, micro and headphone
6 USB 2.0 (3 internal, 2 external, 1 mini)
10h to 15 hours of battery life

Nice all in one with the same screen size as the chinese a700 (larger than the Q7). Big bonus is a ton of battery life for an LCD screen (10-15 hours)

The estimated price for just the tablet without keyboard attachment is $300 US

On the downside, no word on RAM or internal storage, and Im not a fan of small 8 gig micro SD
