About tablets - Just bought an 8'' android device (Archos 9G 80) , and I
also have an android phone (Samsung Galaxy S II). Of course using the
browser on the tablet is more convenient , but I can tell you for
example I prefer to use the youtube, gmail and gtalk applications and
not their web sites (although they are more usable than they are on my
phone, of course).
