    The Galaxy tab 10.1 looks quite good or the Motorola xoom looks quite good too.
  • I have an Acer Iconia A500 and love it, though have not used it for Skype and could not confirm whether it will work on it or not, the Navigation is great and dug us out of a hole in Niagara when we missed a turning, and never let us down all over Canada! Would definitely suggest you use an Android rather than an Ipad, but that may be down to personal preference.

    Best idea would be to go to Curry's Digital or somewhere like that just to have a play with a few, then make a decision after that and find out where you can get the one you like the cheapest.
