I'm surprised i didn't see the Archos listed in that compilation.
The Archos-5 looks much like the Dell streak.

I recently got the Archos-5, a 5" tablet, but although it's cute and
working (mostly) it crashes way too often. At least once a day. I also
find the wireless cumersome, in the sense that it often needs guidance
what to do. At work, a large campus where we have a weird roaming
wireless, it works fine in my office, but doesn't seem to connect in
other places until i remove the SSID and let it redisocver it...

In short, lots of small issues which don't compete well with a smooth
iTouch (or do they have issues as well??)
