Buying a Tablet

So far I don't own a smart phone, or tablet, or any online mobile device. Just a normal phone since I'm normally always on my computer. Now I'm communiting to Chicago via the Metra, I'm in need of something to do on the train. Ideally I'm wanting to surf the web, read some online articles, watch movies, and play some games. The question is what to buy, I'm thinking a Tablet since I'd prefer the larger screen.
Now what tablet to buy... I don't currently use any apple products (that includes Itunes) since I tend to play a lot of games. I'm also a programmer, so I'd prefer something that I could program such as Java or C#.
What would you recommend?

10"+ tablet: Transformer Prime in december.
(Isn't there a Blackberry tablet or something?)
choke, choke, cough, wheeze! Galaxy over everything else, everything else over K F. (wow, now I can breath again)
Kindle Fire is a media tablet, with a limited set of capabilities. It has decent hardware, sure, but it's more of an appliance/"curated device" than a full-fledged tablet. Unless you want to hack it, or don't care about ever receiving the complete Android experience, the KF is no replacement.
Do you know the status of the android community hacking the thing? I'd say it's a GREAT value if they've managed to get full-fledged android on it.

I'm bad at dates.
Personally, if money is an issue, wait for the Transformer 2 (Transformer Prime) is released and see if the original Transformer comes down in price. The rumors are that the original Transformer will get Ice Cream Sandwich too.
If price is not too big of an issue, get the Transformer Prime. Quad core, ICS, Tegra 3 GPU... it's the goods.
Asus Transformer for $250 + $100 for the dock. $350 for the Transformer is a great price. Android Police
