Recommendations for Android tablet?

[stillfrazzled]

Going back to work in a couple of months and will be doing some work on the train. I thought a tablet or netbook might be handy, to save me dragging my mahoosive work laptop everywhere plus I just fancy one.

Any recommendations? It's only for an hour or so a day, so I don't want to spend too much.

Bumping for evening geeks

Cannot recommend any from personal experience (been sorely tempted to go back into Carphone Warehouse for another play on one, and see what they have at Maplin and PC World, but unlikely this week).

The best Android tablet on the market at the moment is the Asus Transformer eee Pad

It's a tablet and with the keyboard, usable for real typing unless most tablets. It uses the latest Android tablet OS and is winning rave reviews everywhere. It's pricey though.

If that's not within your budget then I really wouldn't go for a cheap tablet. They really aren't usable for any form of work and being honest if you have visions of sitting on a train typing emails then forget it. Two minutes of tapping on a touch screen will have you screaming. Plus 3G is up & down all the time on a train.

Otherwise I'd suggest looking at a 2nd hand iPad from eBay. Cheap Android tablets are really not a good idea in my opinion.
