You can get Tegra2 tablets running Android for half the price of the cheapest iPad for roughly the same techie mucking around effort as putting Linux on a netbook right now.

I personally wouldn't buy one till it was confirmed you'd be able to get Honeycomb on it, but they've been out there for a few months now, mostly held back by Google's lack of approval for shipping with the Android Market unless you're selling a phone. I believe that policy's about to change though.
