I am more sad about the current state of android tablets. Are there any decent tablets available? When I looked recently, I found a bunch of announcements for stuff that was coming, like the Dell Streak. But the actual tablets available look like knockoff Chinese junk. The Archos tablets seem to be the only moderately respectable devices in the bunch, and those seem to have their share of problems.

The Archos tablet is the same as the Rockchip aPad that is known under many names: iWeb, iRobot, etc. I am doing a sort-of custom rom for the device and it's really hard to do without the sources. I don't really understand the chinese companies, though. Why would they not want people working for them, for free?

Is this true? Because the Archos 5 Internet Tablet source seems to be on their site (I originally didn't find it because the naming is kind of weird, but it's there!)

I have a Dell Streak eval currently. It's an extremely nice and well designed device with a beautiful screen and great battery life. The only knock is that it's running Android 1.6, but that will supposedly be remedied soon.

Really, I can't say enough about this device. It's great and far more portable than my iPad.
