If you're looking for something on the size of the iPad (which is a very valid option itself) I'd advise you to take a look at the eeePC 1000h (10 inches, against 9,7 from the iPad).
It has 1 gb RAM and 80 GB of hard disk space, an SD slot and three USB ports. It's said to last 7 hours, and it seems that that information is correct, from what I've read in other forums.
The German device, the WePad, seems very neat too, but given the bad experience of the txtr, which has scared away many people from devices coming from start-ups, and the very poor marketing choice of the name, I'm afraid it won't enjoy the success its specs deserve.
