Very nice! I think I’m going to try to hold off till BN rolls out with the 2.2 update that’s supposed to happen sometime this month. If they fix the annoying keyboard and the flash/pinch-to-zoom lacking browser I might just keep it as is. ---

why not just buy an _actual_ android tablet? The Xoom looks BA, but is pricey. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > why not just buy an _actual_ android tablet? The Xoom looks BA, **but is pricey**. Price for me…plus I like the ereader portion of it for magazines and the occasionally book I read. Of course the Galaxy Tab is dropping in price on contract so I’m wondering where the wifi only will be priced once if comes out. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > why not just buy an _actual_ android tablet? The Xoom looks BA, but is pricey. $250 vs $550… I get to play with tablets all the time at work, and after playing with a rooted Nook there really wasn’t a doubt in my mind as to what I’d be purchasing. I’m not saying it is superior to an _actual_ Android tab on specs, but it sure as hell is on price. ---

Once rooted, it still doesn’t have Flash… so no watching movies from something like [streetfire.net](http://streetfire.net). However, youtube still works for short clips/videos. I haven’t loaded any movies on my microSD card to see if it plays off of it, but I would imagine yes. ---

Yeah I’m thinking like watching divx movies on an airplane with better battery life than my netbook? ---

Transformer? Tegra 2. The dock is awesome and has some sweet usb inputs and other cool stuff. Plus it’s priced reasonably. samsung seems to be partnered up with google on this, so I like it because it will be getting timely updates most likely. Also, it’s a great form factor. But as far as I know, no option of docking. Xoom that I demoed was slow as piss, but I think updates will help with that. But still, I was ill impressed with the perfomance. ---
