I just bought a tablet this weekend because I love my future father in law's tablet! I got the same one, an Asus Eee Pad Transformer. It comes with docking keyboard so you can use it as a tablet, or hook it up to the keyboard for easier typing. A bonus is when it's hooked up to the keyboard there's an extra 8 hours of battery life. So you get 8 hours on the tablet, or 16 hours when it's attached. When you have the keyboard too it folds up like a laptop and there is no need for a case.

I have never used an iPad but I freaking love my Asus! My future FIL is an electronics guy and he does his research, so I just went on his word lol. I got it at Walmart for $489 CAD, but these things are always cheaper in the US. It has a 10.1" screen, two cameras, and seems to do everything I want it to do (skype, internet, games!). I do have a Sony e-reader I just got for Christmas which I will continue to use for reading. I sit in front of a computer all day at work and reading on bright screens for too long really bothers my eyes!
