Tablets & eReaders

So I am expecting my tax refund in a week or 2 & I wanna buy an Android Tablet, but I am kinda computer/tablet stupid & I have no clue which one to pick...  Specific things I want in an Android Tablet include the following:  Android 2.3 or newer, touch screen, Micro SD card slot & good battery life are all my must haves!!!  Additionally, if possible, I would prefer a White Android Tablet over a Black Android Tablet!!!  I am a T-Mobile employee, I work @ their customer service center/inbound call center in Portland, Oregon.  My expertise is cell phone activations, new customer activations/sales/upgrades, tech support & billing.  I am very unknowledgeable when it comes to the iPad & Android Tablets.  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!!  So far I've narrowed down my tablet selection to the Sony Tablet S, Asus Transformer Prime, iPad 2 & Asus Slider...  Suggestions???  A little insight help please!!!  Thanks so much:-)

Some questions I have....

• what do you hope to achieve with a tablet?  What do you do on the computer today?
• is a keyboard important for you (I like the slider's pop out keyboard)?  Can you type on glass well?  Does the virtual keyboard block half the screen?
• do you want a small screen for portability (I like the Blackberry Playbook's 7" screen)?
• do you want a big screen for readibility (I like the Transformer)?
• do you want to run applications that only work on the iPad?  Which apps?
• do you want to use flash websites?  Skip the iPad....
• do you want good sound?  I like the Playbook's stereo speakers.

Keyboard is not hugely important, however it would be nice, I can type very well on a tablet, so keyboard is not a must...  Micro SD card & Android 2.3 or higher is an absolutle must!!!  Cameras of at least 5MP would be nice as well.  I've done a little research since I posted this & iPad 2 is officially off my list.  Asus Slider, Sony Tablet S & Asus Transformer Prime are what I'm looking at as of now.  As far as screen goes, I want a larger screen if possible.  Flash websites I also want access to.  When it comes to sound, I listen to alot of music, I am in my 20's so I'm kinda a partier & I like loud music, so something with a high level of audio & vidoe sound would be great!!!  I personally own an Android cell phone, the HTC Sensation with T-Mobile, I have had Android cell phones since the very first day the HTC G1 phone came out, the HTC G1 was the very first Android phone ever put out by any cell phone carrier.  I absolutely do love Android so very much!!!  Based off of all of this, what do you recommend or suggest???

The main thing iPad has over the rest is that it trades accessibility (extremely locked system) for extreme ease of use and an excellent use of the hardware it has along with over 500,000 apps now. And they have always pushed towards integrating everything (AirPlay, apple tv etc)
