    Have you heard of the ipad 2? :p
    It seems it has the most user friendly interface but take a look at other android tablets too

    Well my choice would be advent vega.

    Even though i wouldnt get one.

    One reason. Phone Android isnt meant for tablets.

    First Android Market isnt available for tablets because google made it clear they wont let them.

    Second If you get apps from whatever source that might be. Some wouldnt work correctly cause of different resolution.

    Though advent vega is quite good for web browsing :)

    Looking at buying a 7" android tablet myself, just for travel, Needs to be less than 500 grams and have at least 6 hours of browsing, up to 4 hours of video, and full Android market. Also think I will pay the extra for 3G connectivity. Waiting for this : Asus EEE Pad MeMo
