Android tablets to rival iPad
Deozaan:
The Motorolla Xoom looks awesome, but it needs to be about 1/2 the price.
The Archos 101 also looks pretty good, but it doesn't have the option for cellular data plan. :-/
Toshiba Tablet looks cool, but who knows what it will cost...
I need these awesome tablets to be out 6 months ago so they'll be affordable in 2-3 months when I want to buy one. :D
Ath:
but it needs to be about 1/2 the price.

Yes, it would be nice for all the real good stuff to be half price, but that doesn't mean that all the good stuff is overpriced. I do think the Xoom is way overpriced. For about $800 I could have a pretty nice Core i7 2600K desktop machine. A comparatively limited dual core tablet should only cost around $400 IMO.
I don't just think it would be nice for the Xoom to be about half price, I think it really needs to be about half price. But I'm certainly no expert. I'm just a consumer who saw the price and thought Apple's prices were tame in comparison.

Half the weight would also not hurt ;)
