eBay with Acer has the refurbished Acer Iconia A500-10S16U 10" Android 3.0 16GB Tablet (XE.H60PN.002) for $209 with free shipping. Features Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS.
As long as you don't have an issue (my first one of these from Newegg was dented and had to be returned) these things are great. I bought two of them (one for the girlfriend and she loves hers). I also paid 50 or 60 bucks more. This is a good price!
Any luck getting Android "not too embarrassing to open source" Cream Sandwich on this?
pen_sq,
In case you revisit old threads, Acer has released Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.x) for this tablet. My brother's refurb came with Honeycomb (Android 3.x), and I had to load an Acer-provided update from the Google Play Market before the ICS update showed up in System Updates.
Dambit, I bought the refurbished 8GB model for this price on Saturday (the 16GB was $230 then)!
dont feel bad, its got an SD slot AND a full size USB! take that apple.
True, #2. I already own an Iconia A500 16GB, but was buying a refurb unit for my younger brother to use while traveling.
Whatever tablet you buy, it's certain there will be something better about 10 hours later.

These get good reviews. Just as good as the Xoom.
No thanks, going to save my money for a Windows tablet - http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/microsoft-dives-head-first-into-mobile-hardware-with-a-pair-of-10-6-inch-tablets/
What's the name of the new MS tablet, Zune XL?

Anything other than an iPad will make you look like a douche bag. Come on, gentleman. Have some self-respect and buy an Apple product.
