I'm not sure which devices these games support, but they look quite good!

Brother In Arms -- a war sim with vehicles
Fishing Kings -- not my cup, but could be fun
Lets Golf 2 -- golf game, looks great!

EDIT: It seems that they are generally available! Win.
BAH! Screw all those... I'm eagerly awaiting "Cut the Rope" to come to Android, dammit!

You must be viewing the list of all contacts when this option shows in the menu. Export asks for a folder name and saves each contact as a separate vCard file in that folder. The files included all my contact fields (all phone numbers, regular an email adress fields etc.).

In the next step I copied all vCard files to my MacBook Pro. Then I imported them in Apple Address Book by selecting them all and opening in Address Book. From Address Book it is possible to export all contacts as a single file.

The last step was to import that one file to Google Contacts. Now I finally had all my contacts transferred from N900 to my Galaxy Tab.
Although it's not a useful solution for the intended recipient, and probably not useful for most of the people on this board (not a lot of Macs here), it might give more ideas to people on other platforms on how to maybe get that much closer to getting it done. I love you.

It seems that you can restore from a number of different Tab images! Very nifty.
That's what I've been doing on my Droid all along. I toldja. Although, the Tab version hasn't been released yet--it's still in beta and not recommended quite yet.

That's what I do. I try not to use my Droid much (mostly as a phone) and mainly use my Galaxy Tab as my Android tablet while my Droid saves battery life to function mainly as my communication device.

Most concerning of all was typing symbols. With the N900 virtually all symbols are available by pressing either alt or shift. So even if I have to type a symbol (which I often do) it does not really slow me down. With the Tab it looked like that could be an issue. Typing on screen as well could also be much slower than on the N900 keyboard. I am hoping I can adjust. Will also try out swype to see how fast that is.
That's odd. By DEFAULT the Tab has and uses Swype and it's FAAAAAAR from hard to use and it does a LOT of typing for me VERY VERY fast. Also--in case you want to get arrow keys, be sure to swipe from the bottom-left S-swype logo to the SYM key... it switches to the cursor keys mode (arrows, home, end, page up, page down, etc.). Generally, Swype has made my life worth living. If someone switch the keyboard over to the Samsung keyboard (which I don't like), you can easily switch it back to Swype by holding down your finger on the gear key then select Swype.
