I'm actually taking a serious look at the Viewsonic G, if I can't snag an HP. The HP would be fun to play with, but apparently there are serious (and successful) efforts to port Android to it, with Froyo available and Honeycomb pending. As far as I'm concerned, as long as a tablet has reasonably good battery life, a nice enough screen, WiFi a back-facing camera for conferencing, and access to the Android market, it's fungible with any other tablet. Woot just had the Viewsonic G for $239 (someone posted it here, I think). Costco has a Vizio that looks similar for $289.
