I'm looking for a inexpensive Android tab for my living room primarily for use as a remote for my media center. Just finished remodeling a second home and I need to make the remote control wife friendly (she hates tech).

I have all my media center in a closet (Tivo Premier, SlingCatcher, Onkyo receiver (NR808), DVD player) and am putting a RedEye Wifi->IR controller in there. In the living room, I want an Android pad as a wifi remote as today the RedEye will provide web based control and they are starting dev on an Android app.

So - that's my profile/need for a low cost, wifi Android tablet. Remote control, web based TV guide, some mild browsing and e-mail access. Can't justify a $500 iPad for that. Could use our touch (and may) but a 7" pad screen would be nice.
