I do not want a phone that comes with the need to pay someone a large monthly fee just to use basic features on a very expensive item. If I cannot pay for some reason, then the Dell Streak or Evo becomes a rather light paper weight that cost me 2 weeks pay check- no thanks!
I am looking for a stand alone- Non-phone tablet. I do not need a cell, or want one. Once I pay for the tablet, the only other thing I want to spend money on is the apps, not $60/month for wifi or to use the MP3 player.

You might want to look at the Archos IMT 5. I have the Android 5 (NOT the Android IMT) and it is more of a PMP than a Tablet. But it does produce nice sound and is adequate on Volume if you tweak. Keep in mind, speakers that small are hard to drive with Quality bass and Good mid-Level. I have hooked up my Archos 5 to decent self-powered Speakers and the quality is wonderful. BUT, you will likely find the least expensive lightweight speakers installed on almost all Tabs. The thing you want is that weird meld between a Good Portable DVD viewer with Android installed. I have NOT seen it yet. But the Archos IMT are close. Like I said, closer to a PMP than a Tab though
These may have flash to real HD for storage. The price new are not cheap either. Here are two examples Archos 5 IMT vs Archos 5 like I have. The difference is I can load mine with Angstrom Linux not Android. And the vendors will sell one thinking it is the other.

I don't actually need it to play DVD's all that well- or at all. Here are the things I need it to do well:
1. Play Mp3's (mainly for audio bibles, sermons, and some music)
2. Read PDF's ( I have heard screen angles and glare can be bad on some tabs)
3. runs some bible programs, mainly Bible Reader 4 by Olive Tree
I tend to listen to the music without headphones, so one that have speakers is a must, and a kickstand is a huge plus!
I have looked at the archos, but the price is high, and I do not need all those features. The smartQ v5 is great, but I have heard that none of the OP run all that great. I have looked at some of the others, but they mainly run 1.5 or 1.6 and are not upgradeable...so I have no clue what to do! LOL
