http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/the-di...-android/38260 - this is an interesting article about phones (off topic I know). If I had to choose a tablet right this moment to buy, it would hands down be the iPad. I won't buy an Android tablet again.

I think mileage may vary. It depends one what you think a tablet should do. If you expect it to be a full-function computer then yeah...you need something like linux or Win7-tablet.

And while Android 2.2 does not currently handle larger tablet sizes (neither does apple ios at the moment). Android 3.0 is slated to handle larger screens (I'm not sure about any additional functionality ... if any).

Otherwise.....I'm quite happy with what my Droid X with 2.2 can do.

While I don't expect my tablet to be a laptop, I do expect it to handle larger screens. Definately an opinion though, and only one of the reasons I don't think Android is a good tablet OS. We will see if 3.0 can make it better, but one thing I don't like is that many devices with Android have limitations on which version it can handle. This is true with older iOS stuff too, but not to as great an extent.
