The pen seems a little gimicky and is quite expensive to replace if lost (so it'd probably not travel much, negating having it).

Looks like the best thing to do is wait a little longer (at least until / through September) and see what shows up.

I haven't kept up with Archos much, but they may have some interesting offerings in September as well.

The 8" tablet could be worthwhile to look at, particularly if the price holds true.

Oddly, I'm very intrigued by the andoid powered alarm clock they have. If priced right, that may be worth picking up. I've already abandoned my traditional alarm clock for my current tablet. It'd have to be pretty cheap, but might have some interesting potential.
Actually the pen isn't that expensive it is a generic piece of hardware and can be found for 30 bucks

Also HTC is releasing a 10 inch flyer which should lower the price on the 7 inch. Also Archos is making a 7 inch tablet and another tablet of a different size
