However, while there are other phones that might be better than iPhone, what better options for a lightweight portable tablet-style device are out there?

What the iPad haters fail to realize is, not everyone wants to open up a netbook and type on a keyboard. Touchscreens are just a lot easier to use while standing/walking. Yeah yeah, the iPad is just a giant iTouch, no shit......But what's it's competition?

There are other tablets out there and there are some really nice ones about to come out. They don't have a shiney apple logo or have a little i in front of the name though.
