Topic: Best Android Tablet in place of Chumby 8 / Sony Dash

I'd like to get a chumby powered photo frame for the holiday season.

My problem is:
1) Can't buy Sony Dash. I like in the UK, the Sony Dash isn't sold in the UK and won't work in the UK with the most recent software updates and is due to be replaced soon.

2) Chumby 8 looks like it is on the way out as well (was sold on Sellout Woot), is hard to buy from the UK.

3) The insignia would be rejected by wife on taste grounds

4) Wowbox isn't available in the UK.

So... that leads me towards the idea of getting a cheapish android tablet that I can use as an alternative.

Has anyone else gone down this path? Any suggestions of something that works well, has a recent android build and plays nicely with the Chumby app?

Cheers,

Harry

You can always pick up a Chumby 8 on eBay... The Sony Dash is there as well, but I'd stay away from it personally, as it is a much more closed environment (as you seem to be somewhat aware).  Other than that, an Android-based device might be your best bet, but it will probably be pricier.
