Take  Advent vega if you are prepared to do small work once you buy. If you are a tablet freak you can make advent vega a great one better than ipad in half a price. It does not come with Android market. However, you can download android market from modaco.com.  After that you can have access to all the google android facilities.

It is also great to watch HD video as it is 16:9  10 inch screen. You can easily connect tablet to tv and watch it like a television.

  I can tell you by my experience.  I have advent vega . My girlfriend has Ipad and she is ipad freak.   She personally like to watch videos on iplayer.  When she found out that my vega plays flash and plays iplayer she is asking for exchange with mine tablet. Add to that it also has a camera , so  you can use a camera while talkling on skype.  Also download a software called " Kindle for Android" and use it as a kindle to read free ebooks.

Only thing it is behind ipad as per my experience is a viewing angle.  But even viewing angle is not that bad.  It does everything an ipad does and more  and comes with a year of manufacturing warranty.

It has a dual core processor. Ipad and galaxy tab i belive still works in single core. Thats why loadingwebsites and videos is extermely fast.
