I took the plunge and got myself this Toshiba Thrive tablet. My only hesitation was buying a WiFi-only tablet. But I decided that most of the places I would use it offer free WiFi anyway (e.g., airports, hotels, coffee shops, waiting rooms). And for those times when free WiFi is not nearby, I can simply turn on the WiFi hotspot feature of my cell phone and connect the tablet using WiFi teathering. I tested this and it works great. I'm in tablet heaven.
Dell makes a 7" device that looks cool but all it runs is some POS OS with childish apps; no windows and no windows applications.
Dell made a giant sized phone that nobody wanted too... they specialize in cheap and massive delivery but product development, maybe not so much... If I wanted to do business apps on a tablet I'd get a Lenovo that runs windoz..
Now that Amazon has released it's new Kindle, it's clearly no competition for the iPad or other full-size tablets. It has a 7" screen, which gives the impression of an oversized cell phone or an undersized tablet.
I'm waiting for the Asus Eee pad transformer 2. Love the docking idea with keyboard and its supposedly going to be running win 8.
