Well, you could wait for the mythical but much heralded Apple iTablet. The current rumour is that it's being readied for a launch in September, but I don't believe a word of it.
Hopefully someone will be along soon with opinions on existing tablets.
Oh - and welcome to Mobileread!

I sold the u820 and since Ive played with my girlfriends 10 inch eee pc and its not bad as a reader, but a tablet of similar size would be much easier to use and hold im guessing.
Ive seen some good deals on the archos 7 as the archos 9 is coming out, but am not familiar with it at all as a ereader etc... ive looked into the fujitsu -1610 used and it may be an option. Im also interested in the asus t91 that may be avail soon with win 7, multi touch etc...
i would like to use it for light music, bluetooth, video, internet browsing, good battery life would be a plus, pdf reading, zino magazine reading, ebook reading
does anyone have an archos 5,7 or 9 that can chime in on what they are like
does anyone have a slate or tablet that they really like that can chime in...
im looking at buying used or refurbished...prob no more than 500-600 but if i could get away with much less  |
