    I'll be buying an HP Touchpad with webOS on it when it comes out. Proper multitasking in a powerful tablet, seamlessly linked with 'the cloud' and your mobile phone. Blackberry Playbook is also on the way, as is of course the iPad 2 - and if you insist on Android, you'd be mad to buy a non Honeycomb tablet right now.

    I bought the Archos 101. It's got a bright 10" display. It couldn't be easier to transfer documents to PC - plug it in via USB and it pops on the PC as a mass storage device; or just pop a mini SD card in it.

    It's got HDMI out as well, and an integrated stand so you can prop it up to watch movies or show a photo slideshow or something. Battery life seems pretty long.

    Pretty sure there's nothing it can't do that an ipad can, and it was only £250. So pretty pleased with it.
