I got a new Toshiba Thrive for $279. So far... i love it! This beats my iPad by far. In every way except app selection it's just a better tablet.
1) Filesystem
Having a filesystem is a breath of fresh air
2) Sideloading
Great to have, but haven't used it much yet.
3) AVI files playback
Used this a lot - i have a lot of AVI files.
4) SDXC slot
Used this already too and it's awesome. I got the 8GB version but have 60GB+ worth of cards.
5) Browser
Just a better browser, tabs, flash, faster, better ui.
6) Widgets/homescreen Customization
I have my favorite stuff on just 3 screens and it works really well. This is not a key feature though.
7) Google Integration.
The Gmail app and the other Google Apps are super nice and it works with my phone's apps.
8) USB host
Haven't used this yet, plan to get a USB keyboard & mouse for my tablet.
Unless you're really addicted to apple's App Store, i can't see the reason to get an iPad. Even at the normal price of $369 @ Amazon for 16GB, this is just such a better value.
Android ftw in tablets!
