Hi Eric
Flash 5.5 is meant to be good for developing applications for android devices, I had investigated using this for a project and it seems reasonably straightforward (if you are familiar with flash!)

Subject: Android tablets for Museum terminals?
You now seem to be able to get a seven-inch Android touch-screen tablet
for about 120 quid (e.g. Currys).
Google also have an interesting development system called AppInventor (
http://www.appinventorbeta.com/about/ ), which is a free hosted service
that lets you install the result onto an Android device. There's more
hoops to jump through it you want it on an app store, but that's not a
problem if you're only going to be installing it on your own machine(s).
I don't know whether the device has to have a separate storage card or not.
I was going to try it out, but the service has been temporarily
suspended while they move the project off Google's servers to a new home
at MIT.
Does anyone know of any other interesting options that look like they
might be cheap and/or easy to get running?
Eric
