Vox vs. Nook vs. Android tablet?

Yes, there are a couple of updates on there. All in all, some good points to consider for people looking to buy a tablet.

For the same price as the Vox, but with 1Ghz processor and 16GB storage, camera, offline GPS, etc., I would say it's very much a better buy. I almost got one, but I'm quite happy with my Flyer. Of course, you're going to run into shipping delays, which is Lenovo's theme this year ;-) but you won't run into the Amazon and B&N Canadian prejudice.

Unfortunately, this is yet another device not available in Canada, especially sad for me because my son works for IBM so I qualify for a discount and am happy with my Lenovo S10e netbook. I could use a US address and order from Lenovo US. However, even though the US Lenovo website clearly offers the $199 sale price, when I tried to apply the code, I got a message that it is no longer available.
