[brlug-general] Android tablets? tabloids? tabdroids?

[Brad Bendily]

Well. I already have an iPhone. So I don't really want the maxipad version of the same limited thing. Plus I really wanted to play around with android. 
I read last week that the viewsonic tabs were being pulled from some shelves. But I don't know any details beyond that. 
What got me started is that there are a few $100-$200 models. So i was considering one of them. But if I buy something I don't want to buy a piece of crap. So I might wait and see what comes out from ces.
