Decent 10" Android tablet for around $300? Is it possible?
Hoopz:
There is a thread in B/S/T for a Nook shipped for $235 that comes with a microSD card to run Android.

keep watching on craiglist for all the people who buy Galaxy Tab 10.1s and then decide they don't know how to use it?

There's been a few deals lately on the Acer Iconia for around $350... lowest I've seen for a Honeycomb tablet so far. I played with one in store and it seemed pretty slick. I sill prefer my iPad, but it seems like a nice value if you can get it at $350

Thanks for all the ideas guys! When I posted this question, I was fully expecting everyone to give me options that were over $300. :) But that's ok. I sort of figured that I'd have to spend more.
The idea of going with a Nook was initially the route I was thinking. But I went to the store and played with one, and I guess it was just the screen size that I didn't like. I figured that if I'm going to do this, I might as well do it right!
When I was at the store I was looking at the other tablets there. The Xoom was cool, but too expensive. I played with the Acer Iconia for a while. It was $400 in store, and I almost bought it right there. But I looked online and found this comparison of the Iconia vs the Transformer:

Looks like they are pretty close to each other, but in the end I went with the Transformer. I liked the idea of some day getting the keyboard docking station. Also the IPS panel I liked more too. Sadly, unlike the Iconia, it was not in any local stores by me. So I had to get it off NewEgg.
So I ended up going over my $300 budget (as I always seem to do) and got the Transformer for $400. Can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks for all the help everyone and the opinions!

Bleh. I have an iPhone, I don't need a larger version of it. I wanted something new and to try out Android. iPad is not the only acceptable tablet. I love apple products as much as the next guy, but most Apple fans seem to blindly follow whatever Apple comes out with. I prefer to try other new things out there. Apple's reign will not last forever, and the Android (and honeycomb) are definitely going to be a full competitor.
