Chippyb, not sure if you or anyone else is interested but pcworld.co.uk have some online special offers on tablets at the moment including 8.9" Galaxy Tab and 1st Gen Motorola Xoom for £279 or the Blackberry Playbook for £169.

I just bought two Blackberry Playbooks and used the code TAB5 to get an extra 5% off and that might work on the Tab and Xoom offers.

And it's free delivery

that's why i was choosing between them as they were on offer. went to the shops today and neither were in the shops which didn't help trying to test them. the Sony is only 300 now as well. so still not sure which one to get

I've seen the Xoom, iPad and Playbook and just bought myself and Mrs W Playbook's. Partly because at £161 (with the discount) they seem like the best value and partly out of curiosity to see if it's improved with the new 2.0 system.

I wanted something that I can read books on and I borrowed my daughters iPad for 30 minutes yesterday and decided that it's too big and cumbersome for that. The bigger screen is great for browsing but for me that's not worth the extra bulk which would also rule out the Xoom. I haven't had a go with one but if you just want something to supplement a laptop or desktop and it needs to be Android based, the 8.9" Galaxy Tab sounds like a good compromise?

Yea the good points back on the xoom tho is bigger screen more memory for the same price. but is heavier. what is the Sony like compared to the others. i don't think there will be much in it.

Was just looking on the websites and you can get good spec laptops for the same price.

Buying a laptop i have no problem with but a tablet is in the unknown
