If you buy any Android device, you might want to check if the hardware 
is supported by Cyanogenmod.

You can get a feel for how the Android OS works w/o buying a tablet. You 
could use Android-x86 (in a VM, or natively on a netbook/tablet. Or the 
Android SDK's emulator, though the latter is slow and painful. Both are 
awkward to use without a touchscreen.
