Mostly agree if one does not want to view a lot of web content, and is satisfied with single-window-at-a-time app usage. I have found a Pandigital Novel Android-based 7-inch 800x600 ereader to be quite nice for that purpose, and ho-hum for most other Android web-centric apps - in other words, adequate, but not a real substitute for a netbook/notebook PC for more "serious" productivity apps like heavy web browsing or word processing docs and spreadsheets.

IMO, Google has a valid reason for not wanting to support Android on tablets and larger form factors. Get a netbook/notebook with SSD, good battery life, and optmiized window manager for the screen, and stable sleep/standby/quickboot abilities (Linux is my preference, but YMMV, if it does not work with your hardware well).
