Yeah, there's going to be a lot of choice that will cost a lot less than the iPad in the near future. The Archos 9 is already cheaper than the iPad.

With all those Android tablets on the way too..... people will have lots of choice and the freedom away from Apple to run whatever they want to run on their device.

I'm really starting to hate Apple lately as I watch the fights between them an the likes of Adobe and others. They really do want total control over what people do and see. Heck my iPhone is now using its GPS to track me and send anonymous data back to Apple. This was the new terms and conditions that came with the upgrade to the latest OS and Apple don't even tell you what information the phone is sending back to them on you or why it's using the GPS to track me.

That's kind of scary when you think about it. Apple know exactly where ever iPhone user is with an accuracy of a few feet and that this function is switched on and beaming this information back to them all the time.
