Hi Theo,
I found this buyer's guide at IT-Depot It is probably kids stuff for most readers here but as a newbie I found it quit useful:
[h=1]How to select your Android Tablet[/h]
What Android Tablet should you select? Is the most expensive always
the best to meet your need? This guide will provide some simple ways to
compare different models and make sure that your Tablet match your need
and budget. As the tablet market is moving fast we will try to keep this
page updated.
[h=2]Screen[/h]
The size of the screen is a compromise between mobility and
convenience. A big screen is nice but not very handy if you want to
carry you Tablet with your everywhere. You can get Tablets with screens
from 5" to 10" but 7" and 10" is most popular.
There are two main types of screens Resistive Touch and Capacitive. Resistive Touch
is more common on less expensive devices and requires some pressure
from your finger to operate. It does not support multi-touch. Capacitive
has a shiny glass surface and supports multi-touch gestures. This is
the most common type on higher priced devices. This type of display
requires skin contact
[h=2]Processor[/h]
In general the faster the processor the faster the Tablet. The speed
is measure in GHz and for most usage between 0.8GHz and 1GHz is
sufficient. Some newer model are now supplied with Dual Core and Quad
Core Processors but a single core processor is sufficient for most users
and is more gentle to your battery life.
[h=2]Memory[/h]
There are two forms of memories. RAM and Storage. But again the more the better.
[h=4]RAM[/h]
RAM is used when the processor is working on executing your orders.
It is normally measured in MB. 512MB is sufficient for most purposes.
[h=4]Storage[/h]
This is also called Hard Disk or NAND Flash. It is measured in GB and
this is where you save all your programs and data. You know the general
rule: The more is better. But Android Tablets use storage very
efficient and if you just use your Tablet for email, simple games and
some browsing you might find that 4 GB is more than sufficient. If you
however want to have all your music and films on your Tablet you need
space. 16GB is a good choice and if that is not enough you can SD Micro
card to store additional data. SD Micro Cards are rather Cheap and have
the advantage that you can have several with different data and just
change them as you need.
[h=2]External Connectors[/h]
At least one USB port is a must. 2 is better and 3 is fantastic. You
also need a TF card slot for you SD Micro Card and then of course a plug
for your earphones. Many Tablets are now also coming with a HDMI port.
This is essential if you want to transfer High Definition movies etc. to
your TV or music to your HiFi.

I'm a new tablet user, too, and I found your info helpful. I have two questions: 1) how do I connect my tablet to my computer? I tried my USB to USB connector, but my computer didn't recognize an external device at all. 2) how do I move files on my tablet (such as ebooks) to an SD card or USB flash drive? The tablet recognizes the external storage, but I don't know how to move book files. I copied/pasted a photo from the tablet to the flash drive, then deleted it from the tablet. But there must be an easier way.
Thanks for any help you can give.
