A lot of people like iPod Touches because they're almost identical to iPhones, but without cell service (and the monthly fees that go along with it), while still being able to connect to a wireless network. Are there any alternative devices that run Android?
Bonus points if it has at least 24 GB of storage.
The Archos tablets have not generally received good reviews to this point. The Dell Streak has also received bad reviews. Further, Google has said the current version of Android is not optimized for tablets. I would personally wait for Android 3. By then, the first gen tablets will be passed and the lessons learned will drive a much better second generation of tablets with an Android OS designed for them.
Nothing of quality yet (at least IMO). Archos has just announced a new product line of Android tablets and smaller devices. Also Samsung has announced the Galaxy tablet (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20015395-1.html) that looks impressive.
I think you'll have a ton of options around the Christmas shopping season.. Keep an eye on Engadget, not a day goes by they're not showing another "leaked" Android tablet.
ETA: here's a link to the Archos 101 tablet.. Looks pretty impressive: http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_101it/index.html?country=us&lang=en
Just buy an Android phone. The newer ones are supporting 32gb of storage. You don't have to activate the phone if you don't want to and you will get all the functionality. Or just upgrade to an Android phone and then have the best of both worlds. The way Android handles music works beautifully.
As Don says, Archos are releasing a range of "tablets" (most are really PMPs, like the iPod touch) during September and October.
The register have a good breakdown of the full range here: http://www.reghardware.com/2010/09/01/archos_android_tablets/
