Android Compatible Devices (non phone)

Question

I'm interested in playing around with the Android OS, but I do not need or want a phone.

It doesn't look like there are any 'non-phone' Android devices out there, so maybe there's a device that is compatible that I can flash.

Any ideas?

If you just want to play with the os, you could try the Android emulator which ships as part of the Android SDK (free).
