Default Power button

Hi all,

I wanna put an android table in-wall (or flush mount) in my bathroom to use as clock, weather and music stream/web radio. Unfortunately, most android tablets have the power button on the side, which complicates an in-wall mount. I don't wanna start with the relocation or tweaking of the power button.

Other than the Panasonic Touchpad, which is way too expensive for my needs, does anyone know of a front power button android tablet? I don't wanna buy an iPad, but I might if I can't find the right android product.

Thanks !

The iPad power button is on the side too... the power button is put on the side to make it less likely you accidentally hit it while using the device. So the majority will have it placed out of the way on one of the sides.

If you got the space though, why not just rig a mechanical switch. Something that will press the button for you when you press it? You don't have to mod the power button itself...
