I am between getting an iPad 2 and forgetting all the cool, open sourced-ness u get with android or getting a similarly priced and competetive Android tablet to the iPad 2...

What I'd like is:
A 10" display
At least 8 Gb memory
Flash? Or at least capable of using flash
Thin and light
Just wifi no data plan

Now I know there are some android tablets out there that fit this criteria... currently I'm using the Samsung nexus s and I'm happy with it. How is the tab 10.1? What are some other tablets that would be a good comparison? Should I just go with the for sure good buy ans get the ipad 2 and leave my android customizing to my smart phone?

If you mean as thin as iPad 2, you'll have to wait until Galaxy Tab 10.1. It will be even thinner than iPad 2. Otherwise, I think all the latest Android Tablets fit your criteria. I think Asus Transformer might be the best option right now if you can find it somewhere. It's cheap and fits all your criteria. I don't think it's even that thick or heavy, though it's thicker than iPad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1. I haven't used any of those yet, though, so I can't tell for sure.
