Acer Tablet
 
Have a pre production/development unit sitting here. Running Android.

Home level of UI is too similar to a traditional desktop environment for my liking but sub levels are what you'd expect in a tablet/touch device which is good.

It's a nice little unit.

Snappy.

Should do well.

Build quality is good.

Thanks.

Too big.

I currently have a 7" tablet, but it's getting rather old. --4 years is what, in techno-years? 68?

Anyway, I really like the size. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy Tab will do. ...maybe the Viewsonic 7 (still looking)

FWIW, Here is a really well done (reflects my thinking almost on the topic) discussion on mobile computer sizing.

ignore the title - They're just using the Dell streak and the iPad as boundary condition examples. (big and small sizes of the market)

There is going to be a 7 inch version as well.

Have the bigger one here since it's appropriate for our product.

If you really want to have fun go grab an embedded dev board.

I picked up an ARM chipped board with camera/wifi interfaces and 7 in touchscreen for ~$150.

Build your own custom case and toss android on it.

Might be a fun cheap project for you.
