Here's something interesting. Archos is releasing a slew of tablets, and Engdaget has a video:

What's most interesting about this is the 10inch tablet running Android2.2. The resolution is 1024x600, but notice how the showcased apps are not simply 'scaled-up' versions of the supposed 854x580 limit. They flow very comfortably into the new resolution for added screen real-estate. Even the dialog appears to have adjusted to the new screen.

This gives hope that android apps will be quickly adaptable to the tablet form factor, and that existing apps will continue to work well. I suspect that developers will quickly update their apps to take advantage of the slew of coming tablets, giving Android quite a large library of apps shortly after these devices begin to appear.

Also, another point of interest is the price of the 10" is only $299!! The 7" is selling for $279. Those are very nice prices, and I'm curious how this computer performs!
