I'm after a tablet, it MUST have 3G as I'll want to use the internet features out and about.

I'd like a detachable keyboard, Andriod 3.0 and a 10" screen.

Personally I think the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is ideal apart from it doesn't have 3G :(

Anybody got any suggestions?

No budget set yet.
 
I wasn't aware they did bluetooth style keyboards for them.

That would be fine as long as it's easy to use.

The tablet will at home be used instead of a laptop (ie emailing, basic web browsing and watching tv shows) then out and about it will take a more professional role in terms of acting as my email client so I'm always in contact with clients and able to take notes, images, do quick web searches, demo stuff etc......
 
Android?
a 2nd hand iPad1 is nicer

Ipad2 is in budget but are there still shortages?

I wasn't aware you could get a keyboard for the Ipad2 and they are much more expensive than the Andriod 3.0 ones.

I use an Andriod phone, Google Calendar, Docs and email lots and like how it works.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys some really helpful stuff there.

To clear everything up and maybe help you pick the best one for me:

1) My phone contract only gives 1GB data a month, and I use that on my phone so tethering isn't really an option.
2) I won't be using many apps. Gmail, my IMAP mail, web browsing, typing stuff up on the move, editing Google Docs, and watching TV stuff like 4OD, Iplayer when I'm on Wifi.
3) No budget set - but I don't want a laptop/netbook and tablet. I want it to all in once, hence me liking the proper detachable keyboard that the Transformer has.
4) Things putting my off an Ipad2 - not a massive fan of Apple OS, everything else I have is all Google (mail, calendar, docs, phone etc...), connectivity.
5) Will be ordering in the next week or so - if it's not out now or in stock I can't/won't wait.
6) Really does have to have 3G - I need my emails on the go etc......
7) Bluetooth keyboard is perfectly fine.
8) Well aware of the apps available for Andriod as I have an Andriod phone and they are fine for my use.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S at the moment but I'll probably be getting the SGS2 in a bit if that's any help....?
 
Will be buying the SGS2 and using my current phone contract as it still has like 18 months to run!

Do you still need to buy and put a SIM card in theser 3G devices? I just assumed you got free unlimited data automatically setup from the start for the extra hundred quid or so sticker price?

Not able to wait, tablet will be purchased by Wednesday at the latest I recon.
 
That's ******** then. Scrap the need for 3G, guess I'll get the Transformer.

Can you update Andriod on these like you can phones?
