Pros: Great Price, USB, HDMI ports, 2 cameras, Flash, better screen res than iPad2

Cons: No iTunes/iStore, but Android store is great

Picked one of these up a few months ago and have been nothing but happy: - Identical Screen Res, CPU, Memory, and Honeycomb Android OS as the $600 Samsung Galaxy Tab, but with more ports, and two better cameras - all for less than $350 (even with th...e 32GB memory). It's as small/light/fast as as wife's iPad 2, but better/more features in every category: - Much better screen resolution (1280 x 800 - almost as good as the iPad 3) Awesome for Netflix, etc. - Standard USB and micro USB ports on-board: I can keep docs, media on a standard keychain drive and use them back and forth betwee this tab and a PC. - Mini HDMI port lets me easily plug in to TV, Monitor, Projector, etc. with a regular cable - no adapters or dongles. - 2 on-board cameras: a 2MP on the screen side (works great with Skype) and a nice 5MP one on the back for photos/videos. - None of the Apple hangups (full Flash support, etc.). Most 3rd Party developed (i.e. non-Apple) apps are available via Android store - Android phone base so large that continued app selection not a problem. Only Apple apps (like iTunes) unavailable.
