Played with the stock ROM for a couple of days while waiting for the SD card to show up. Got the SD card and in about 20 minutes had it booting from the SD into the most current CyanogenMod7. WOW! I must say that it was a much easier process than dual booting my N800.

Huge difference. O/C to 1200Mhz (ondemand)

Cool Stuff: ( All info culled from the NC XDA forum)

SD Card for Boot: SanDisc Class 4 or lower.
Counter intuitive, see XDA Thread

Netflix (sideload) - installed with no issues, looks great.

Book reader: Aldiko
Media Player: RockPlayer
Organizer: Springpad
Calendar: Business Calendar

Now to open to the forum, App recommendations!

Thanks Matt
Incredibly, any app recommendations for this device would be the same as any tablet, really. Be sure to get TitaniumBackup and AdFree right away! File Expert is my next suggestion. I might even suggest checking out Better Terminal Emulator Pro or at least ConnectBot. I've also started to really like Buzz Player for playing video straight off of SMB shares on my network, so I recommend that in addition to MoboPlayer.

Anything in particular you think you wanted to do? Maybe an app you liked on the N800 you wished to find an equivalent for on Android? I've gone through that experience precisely, so maybe I can make suggestions.

By the way: CONGRATULATIONS on joining the Android army! We're a FAR more optimistic and satisfied bunch here.
