After reading the Engadget review earlier today I wasn't blown away by this new tablet but with a price of $200 and Amazon's great return policy it doesn't seem like a total dud. Anyone else taking the dive with me or am I on my own?

Very very tempting. I have to see it in person before I bite. With all of the tablets that are supposed to be coming out, I have to be sure lol. I read on maximumpc.com that via is making one that will retail for around $100. A lot to look forward too :).

They talk about this thing at Androidguys.com btw.

Personally, I think I might wait for the GalaxyPad since I'm going for the Sprint Epic, but for $150 this seems interesting...

Yes I saw this in the circular ad that came in the Sunday newspaper but I called both K-Marts near me and they havent even gotten them in yet! I will buy this thing if it's available but nobody has it yet and you can't buy it online! It looks pretty interesting for $150...

Why has this not been exploding in the news? The Dell Streak gets rave reviews. A 7" Android Slate-- shouldn't this be like... Idk, a big deal? I've been waiting for an "Android iPad" for a while now. This might even obsolete my desire to buy a Nook as this is cheaper.

Jacksonville FL Kmart has them.

I stopped by the local Kmart, and aside from it being empty, it did have 4 of the device. As I am new to android, I really wouldn't know what to look for or how to evaluate the device. Took a photo of the boxes if anyone is intrested.

If this thing is running stock Android, what are the chances of 2.2 with JIT getting on this sucker? Would think that would help with the lag, right?

I would buy this device in an instant if it had one more feature.

-Infrared Output- along with a remote control app

I have never been happy with any universal remotes for my home theater. Be cool if I could have a remote with android on it. Does anybody make such a thing?
