Android
Method of Madness:
You can put it in Airplane Mode and still use wifi, but I don't know how to turn off phone/texting while keeping mobile data on.

So, here's an interesting little factoid I picked up while working for SiriusXM: Apparently even though the KINDLEs use an android based OS, they do not support the google play store, and therefore do not have access to all those apps (at least by default, obviously this can be changed if you want to take the measures to do so), and yeah, I got tons of calls, from people pissed that they paid for the SiriusXM internet radio, and couldn't use it on their android device, even though there was an android app.
On last report, neither Amazon nor SiriusXM planned to address this.
Oh, and the tasker and task killer on my Galaxy S II are both pretty cool, so thank you for those recommendations.

It's the same problem I have with my (older) Nook Color. Just because it runs on Android OS doesn't mean it uses the Google Play store. It has to be a unit that specifically allows access to Google Play.... The annoyance of course being that I bought the color instead of a black and white e-reader specifically because it could access 'an app store'.
mtmerrick:
That's the worst part of android being open source. Luckily nooks are easily rooted, so the play store can be added to them. Newer nooks already have play access.
I can't recommend kindles for exactly this reason: the Amazon app store is underwhelming at best, and it'll be a cold day in hell before amazon lets the play store on their devices.
Method of Madness:
I actually highly recommend Kindles, but only the cheapest ones, and only for reading books. Then again I don't see the point of a midsize tablet, it doesn't do anything my phone can't and I always have my phone with me.
