Decent 10" Android tablet for around $300? Is it possible?

Hmm. That's odd had 2 iPhones over the last three years, never did that to get an app.

Th reason there are no keyboards on phones is that it makes the phone too bulky

At the end of the day... who gives a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---...  Iphone/android..ipod/zune....ipad/transformer... blah blah blah

If it fits your budget and it does what you want it to do, then buy it.

Doesn't have to be bulky.


And besides, the Droid 3 is only 13mm thick. The iPhone 4 is 9mm. I wouldn't call that a terribly huge difference for such a generous keyboard:

I was specifically addressing the concern that having a keyboard made the phone to bulky. I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Donkbaca:
Oh yeah, not bulkier, its just 50% more bulky.  People don't want a keyboard on the face because they would prefer a larger screen.  They don't want a keyboard because they don't want the bulk.  Its pretty simple.  Smart phones are huge.  Think about the fact that prior to the smartphones, one of the main goals of cell phone design was to minimize size.  A iphone is way bigger than say the motorola RAZR that people had used 5 years ago. 

The extra bulk isn't worth it to me.  Its not like I am composing huge amounts of content on my cell phone, nor would I want to.

I am with PBJ on this one.  I am not a fan boy, I am not like holy crap! The Ipod Thought just came out! Its like the touch, but you don't touch it.. you THINK  it!.... I am not claiming that the Iwhatevers have are superior in every way, I am just saying that as a total package RIGHT NOW the Iwhatevers are the superior product.  Personally I know people that have both android and IoS products.  There are many more people that have android products that would switch to IoS in a heartbeat, the people I know that have an IoS device that wish they had gotten an android device is a much, much smaller. 

Sure in the future the andriod may produce a suprior product, so when I get my next tablet/phone in the future I may consider it, but there are real advantages that the IoS devices have that the androids have to overcome, so its not a given that they will eventually become the market leader.

Yeah in future Hyundai may make a better car than a Porsche, but I'll keep driving my porsche to work because right now its the better overall experience.  Have fun showing off how well your Hyundai goes in circles.
