Hey guys, I am planning to buy a tablet as an input device to draw, etc. on my computer (Mac compliant). Please suggest a tablet at a reasonable price. Also suggest a good screen recording software so that i can make a video. I run mac os x 10.5.8

errr what kind of price is "reasonable" ? Different people have different budgets.
At around Rs.14000 you get a BB Playbook which is a great tablet :)

The mTab which one of the cheapest tablets with all the latest features available. It supports Android 2.03 Gingerbread.
Gingerbread is Android 2.3.

I think OP has already found a tablet of his choice.
