Well, you could 'get lucky' and get one of the next run of the HP Touchpad 
for about $99.  They're working on an Android port, so you probably 
wouldn't have to put up with the installed WebOS. ;)

I've got a couple friends from Scotland who picked up iPads while they 
were here visiting.  While I'm no fan of Apple, you might find one of 
those here in your price range (not the 32 GB model, but maybe a 16 GB 
with Wifi only).

Otherwise, what sort of features are you looking for?

Jim
