I am sure also once Win8 (for tablets is released) there will be ways to install it on Android based tablets as well.
 
So far no tablet has really impressed me too much.

Acer just teased and didn't really show much. Disappointed. But did confirm a quad core and "native 1080p", so probably 1920x1200 display. Hopefully not a bad custom UI.

Toshiba's Excite only using a TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1280x800 display, pretty average. But it does look great, hope it's now slippery.

Lenovo showed of two tablets. The S2 has a cool Transformer like clapshell keyboard dock. And the K2 is a quad core with 1920x1200 display. But the custom UI is just freaking horrible and Lenovo is doing a China release first. So not excited about these either.
 
I'm enjoying my Blackberry Playbook, liking it much more than the Galaxy 10.1. Sure it's not android, and OS 2.0 is not out yet, I still like it. It can play 720p just fine. The 10.1 couldn't do that, sadly.
 
With the upcoming high resolution tablets from Acer and Asus

Mass market consumer oriented Tablet Computing has brought something good to PC users

1. High resolution, high DPI, mass consumer oriented screen suitable for high quality Reading needs.

Just reflect on frequent posts here laments from some laptop users how nowadays most standard screens are 1366x768 and difficult to get higher resolution options, especially those Thinkpad 1920x1080 screen options now down to one or two extremely expensive models.

Not dissing the PB, but I don't believe the 10.1 can't play 720p. Tegra 2 needs certain settings when you transcode. If you do it right, it plays 1080p.
