Just ordered a 10.1 Android Tablet from Ebuyer for £159. I just love it.

For the price of the tablet it is a very fast Tegra2 machine and plays Mame4Droid and other similar games very well.
I might be needing to build a Bluetooth Arcade adapter now. ;)
I'm just curious how many members here have non iPad tablets, and if so, which brands and what do they run on them?

I picked up a Dell Streak 7 from staples for $200. It's awesome. It is a joy to use be it for games, reading, or web. Netflix works well on it. and my kids love it too.

I have the Galaxy Tab for work. Its fine but if I were buying one for personal use, I'd get a larger one. I also have a HTC Incredible 2 for work and I don't spend any time on the phone using apps or doing anything now since I have the Tab.
I do have the data connection on it but again, for personal use, I'd probably go Wi-Fi only when getting a new one. At home, I use Wi-fi and I do the same in the office. When I travel, I could probably get by fairly easily with Wi-Fi only.

I have a B&N Nook Color, rooted with Cyanogen Mod 7. Runs most everything I've tried. Mame4droid, Netflix, oh and I read books on it too.

Asus EEEpad Transformer: the only other one with a true IPS display, even nicer than the iPad. I hate tablets with crappy notebook displays. Keyboard add-on is magnificent. Very long battery time, you can watch movies or skype from your lap without getting sleep in your arm.
On my wishlist:
Samsung Pad 7.7
IMO 10 inch is too big. I want my pad to merge with my phone. The Pad 7.7 will be perfect. 1280x800 super amoled! It fits in a real Woolen Men Coat Inside Pocket, and it is a great phone too. Gives me a very authentic Motorola Dynatax feeling when calling.
