For the most part, scrolling is smooth (with the d-pad) and pages, once loaded, render correctly.

Apps are a problem-- the good ones aren't released yet (for the most part). One I tried was File Browser, and it worked fantastically. I also tried to load XLive, but it didn't show up for some reason-- I'll try later and report back.

I'd just want to say thanks to everyone who put in so much effort to make it available to the masses (as far as internet tablet users go).

EDIT: Ack! When I load new .apk files onto the internal memory card and start up Android, the files disappear in the Android File Manager. After, I restart and check in the Maemo File Manager-- and *surprise surprise* they don't show up!
That happens to me too. I believe it has to do with what version of the SDK they were programmed in. None of the apps that I've tried coding on the latest SDK work on my tablet. In fact they disappear. like you said, when I transfer them over. What we need is the latest version of the SDK ported fully to the tablets. The work is underway and almost complete, just missing a bug or two... (from what I've read)
