Decent Android Tablet?

There are some Android Tablets on the market, are any of them worth it, or should I wait longer?

Does anyone on Q-Land have one? Do you love/hate it?

Thanks!!!!

    Outside of the smaller phone-sized "tablets" like the Dell Streak and the Archos 5, there's not a lot of Android tablets on the market currently. There's a couple 7 inch tablets too (Archos makes one), but they're still smaller and pretty bare right now. Android isn't really optimized for tablets quite yet. However, there's tons of tablets coming up that are definitely worth waiting for.

    The ICD Gemini looks great. Feature rich, powerful, sleek.
    Notion Ink's Adam has been a favorite for a while, known for it's Pixel Qi display; I'm still waiting to see where that ends up (and hoping it isn't vaporware).
    Then there's the Cisco Cius (another 7 inch), which is focused on business and video conferencing.
    Archos is coming out with larger ones, Google is rumor to be making their own with HTC, Samsung, Sony, LG are all rumored to be coming out with Android tablets. Which ones will be worth buying we'll have to wait and see. You'd regret not waiting until the end of the year to see what comes. If you're really itching for an Android device, there's awesome phones on every carrier (Nexus One, Droid X, Galaxy S, EVO 4g) which will serve you better than a tablet right now.

    I would wait, if at all possible. There are a handful of tablets on the market right now but all of them have issues; some serious and some just nit-picky. The next two quarters of releases (so right up through holiday and getting into next year's CES show time) will be big releases. You will see some crowd favorites- like the Notion tablet, which looks very lovely- plus the big manufacturers will have something to show off, too.

    If you have to have one right now, I would check out the Archos tablet and the Velocity Micro tablet (out in August, I think).
