I was in a very similar positiion to the OP a few months back and after playing with a few different tablets mates had i made the bold choice to get something i liked The Blackberry Playbook.
I had never owned a Blackberry but loved the design and heard the web browsing was hard to beat, as well as the best tablet for viewing flash content. This was important to me as i look at a lot of trailer websites and stream a lot of football matches. I also planned on taking the tablet out and about and being smaller then the ipad it slips nicely in my inside coat pocket without noticing it is there.
I have to say i am very pleased with my choice. While the Playbook has less apps i believe it makes up for that with the sheer quality of the video playback and web browsing. The 32gb model is only £200 and when compared to the prices of the Ipads it is a no brainer.
Saying that i was reading today Acer are about to launch a quad core tablet in the states for under $200 that also maybe worth a look if you are willing to get one shipped over.
I am certainly not discounting the ipad or any Android tablets , just saying i have had a plesent experience with the Playbook one i am extremely happy with.
