i suggest Samsung Tab 10.1 which will come out soon. On engadged you can find review which is very promising.
There's just no other way to say it: the iPad 2 finally has a real competitor. If Samsung could somehow undercut Apple by even $25 here, the choice would be obvious, but it's going to have a whale of a time convincing the masses that a Samsung device is superior to one Designed in California when prices are equal. That said, we'd still recommend the Tab 10.1 over the iPad 2 for heavy Gmail users and all-around fans of Android. And hey, at least this thing can take advantage of Music Beta, if you're into it.
Personally, I wouldn't really be able to answer this without actually going and having a play with both in the flesh... But, I would say that I would likely be swayed towards the samsung because of how much more open android is compared to ios...
I've also been looking at the Motorola Zoom, any opinions on this?

I haven't tried the xoom, but I know that motorola android phones are quite restrictive... I purchased a flipout to keep me going while waiting for phone on insurance. It's locked down, so cannot install a custom rom (to be able to use newer android of versions usually), so am stuck with any motorola releases... So, I would say to stick with a highly popular device (and, afaik, no samsungs have been difficult to put on custom roms...)
How about the ACER Iconia Tab A500 or ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 ?

Just had this email come through. Only 500 in stock apparantly, and 50 already sold. It's only 7" though, so dunno whether it's a deal breaker. But at £250 sounds a steal...

Why'd you say it beats the tablets? Just interested, as in my opinion, I much prefer the android os on the dog & bone that ios on the ipod touch... I don't like a few little things about the ipod touch, and the back that there is is more like a home button on android ... really miss being able to press a back buttonto easily navigate. Might be different on ipad ... But I think I'd prefer android personally...

after having a play with a google g1 first android phone ever made and my brother having so much trouble with it software always crashing he had it changed 5 times in its 2 year contract from which he then got the iphone 4 which he never complains to me about
then me my self having htc phones on windows mobile and transitioning to a sony erricson x10 mini i found the menu so annoying and tedious and as for the lg gt540 i gave that to my brother as again the menu system was so hard to find and get to grips with
and i to have a iphone and have in teh past had a ipad and fount its just much easier to navigate and menus are clear and easy to find
but then thats just me
i still have my windows mobile 5/6 htc phones and i like them again for the menu its nice and easy i just find android to complicated to handle
oh and the lg doesnt sync to andriod on the lg software and i know its a sofware rather than hardware fault which i never have when syncing an iphone to itunes
but like i said thats my pros and cons not every one is the same an some ppl swear by the android some ppl swear by iphone me personally i wouldnt swear by either but i think its like the DUO and ET-9000 its a close call
