I bought an Archos 5 IT this weeenkd so I could play around with Android without giving up my iPhone. After applying all the Google hacks to it, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's actually more stable than I imagined it would be, and pretty much all of the apps I've tried seem to work. I've been using it off and on all day today on battery, and I still have 70% left.So as far as an android-powered slate goes I'm thinking it's hard to beat it right now. Plus you can just pop down to Best Buy and grab one instead of digging online.
