$200 for 256 mb was April's price. Today, anything more than $150 is 512 MB and that is my shopping. See the pos augen genbook I got from kmart is $79 and has 256 MB ram already. The Archos 7" WAS my favorite in April, now is July and the choice are way too many. Since there are more choice, I would try to stay away from name brand, as they are usually less easy to tinker with. I would go with something that has a large community, like the maemo, which would has more of chance of upgrade than depends on name brand. Obviously micky mouse tinker is what I am good for, but writing customize ROM, I am not there yet . In fact, the pos genbook is very good in media rendering, able to play HD youtube without problem.

BTW, I am really please with VirginMobile's data plan and the Optimus V, except the 3.2 in screen. 7/19 VirginMobile is going to unleash a 4.3 in Motorola Triumph for $299. That is going to be my phone.

$80 discount, not bad. gsensor, multitouch capacitance, 7", gps?, for 200$ with a huge Archos community behind. I think it is a pretty good solid buy. Of course, in a few month, you may not need the $80 discounts. Android tablets are like no name IBM PC in the early days.


Really nice to see you around.
Cheers,
