Gen 8- 7 inch not bad at all ..
Bought as gift for 7 year old daughter .. $275 on Amazon cant be beat. HUge difference between Gen 7 and Gen 8 models (Froyo, capacitive touch, etc). Its great as media player and coffee table tablet. Daughter reads e-books, plays age appropriate games, plays videos/music, and recently set her up with google voice account for texting. Running LauncherPro allows me to place direct message contacts for the 5 or 6 family members shes allowed to text with. And yes, Daddy gets to have his phone back now
Web browsing is fine though flash sites really tax the machine - Archos has indicated an optimized flash plugin is scheduled for release by end of month (C'mon Adobe!) Not quite as speedy as my EVO but with a few tweaks, it does almost everything the EVO can do in a larger format.
After being impressed with the A70 model, I considered ordering the 101 10 inch version for myself.. However, With all the new tabs slated for 2011 and Honeycomb around the corner, I think its prudent to see what else comes available over the next few months.
