Personally, I think the most tempting 7" is still the HTC Flyer, which is now marked down to $299. It has a digitizer and a $40 stylus is available, which makes it much more useful for notetaking than any of the other alternatives, including the iPad (in my opinion anyway). Combine that with the basic 7" premise of a small, light reading device and it seems like an all-around win for users with that particular set of needs.
