Suggestion for Android tablet?
 
So I am planning to buy an Android tablet lately.
My friend recommened this tablet call Webstation.
But I was hoping to get more advice of choices or opinions before I actully purchase it.

Does anyone use Webstation at all?
Or any other tablet I should consider?

Hmmm... Engadget were not impressed with it at all....

My advice would be to sit tight.... this could be good (but has Q3 release date planned):

No offence, but did you just register on a Maemo forum to ask about Android devices!?

Anyway, be sure to get a device that's co-designed by Google (like Motorola Droid). Other devices (like SE X10) might not be allowed to get software updates by Google until 6 months later...

It depends on what size tablet you want.

5"? 7"? 9"? 10"?

What weight range?

What type(s) of screens are you interested in (LCD, e-ink, hybrid, dual screen)?

What do you plan to use it for?

Well, 5" is too small for me and I think iPad's 10" would be too big so aroud 7" sounds great.
And as for weight, don't have any range, as light as it can would be nice.
No preference on the screen, nothing but a colorful one .
I will use for leisure time and for work.
I'm a sales so it would be great to have a light processor to carry aroud for work load.
I will still use my laptop in the office cuz I know tablet can't replace it completely.
Interenet browser and media function too.
My friend said he read some negative review about Webstation.
BUt when he acutlly use it, he said it's not that bad.
I'm still considering tho.
Any more advice?

Some devices are only allowed to get software updates for 6 months and other devices just don't get that much updates before another OS gets released ;)

just a joke ;)

Archos is said to be releasing a 7 inch tablet soon. It's supposed to be announced at Cebit.

check out the archos 5 with android. It has an excellent community at Archos fan forum. Not official android product, but market place hack is in full effect
