Nook Color

or wait for the Amazon Tablet, supposedly coming out in November (if you live in the USA anyway)

Edit: all archos tablets and whatever the hell dickfour linked to are crap (as well as that Coby tablet), and just fyi you have to hack up the nook color for it to work if that intimidates you, and PSXoid & N64oid don't run that well (PSXe is better for PSX)
If what I linked to is crap then the nook color is crap as well because the specs on the N50 are better than the nook color. So you must be recommending crap or you just don't know what you're taking about. I think it's the latter. For full specs on the N50 look here. I'd wait for a hands on review but the videos look promising.

You're telling me some obscure chinese tablet with no google apps (and no way to hack it and get them, as far as i can tell) is better than a well established tablet with tons of developers working on it?

$250, tegra dual core, 1gb ram, 10.1 inch screen.. Pretty much same as xoom or galaxy tab.. but $500 less -_-.


By the way, that hp touchpad is sold out, unless you want to buy it on eBay for a $200+ markup.
the gtab is also a very good choice, it has a huge hacking community, they've got all the google apps on it and such and blah, just like the nook color does

Sorry, but you are wrong. Terminator failed to mention that the Nook Color isn't much of a Android tablet unless you put a Custom ROM on it. FYI the Nook Color has a gorgeous IPS display and can be overclocked to 1.3GHZ. I'd take it over that crap you posted anyday. @OP, The Nook Color runs all the emulators you just mentioned beautifully! Just need to do something that takes 15 minutes to get Android 2.3.5 up and running on it.

Either you edited that after my post or I completly missed it. I'm thinking I missed it

I still hold that if you recommend the nook color you don't know what you're talking about. The nook color has to be overclocked to it's max just to keep up with the worst least powerful tablets there days. Seems to me like throwing money down the drain. The nook color is pretty much obsolete. I picked up two hp touchpads for less that a nook and honeycomb is on the way. So $180 nook with gingerbread or dual core hp touchpad with honeycomb.
 
derp, i picked up two tablets on a firesale for less than that tablet, that makes your tablet garbage

The fact is the Nook Color has tons of smart developers working on it and is still a very capable budget tablet.

Edit: and FYI, the nook already has a honeycomb port, but since it's based off the emulator it kind of sucks, and so will the touchpad port
