Well Honestly the 3 Tabs oficially on the Cyanogenmod site are the
Advent Vega (also known as P10AN01), Nook Color (aka Encore), the HP
Touchpad, and the ViewSonic G Tablet.
The 2 of those i would suggest would be the B&N and the Viewsonic
Gtab, they are both very nice physically, and the Gtab has identical
specs and performance to the Galaxy tab. I haven't looked to see if
any of those are doing the M$ licencing or not.
I actually want either one of those :-)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
