Excuse me? I'm not discussing anything based only on what I see on YouTube. I own one and I know I'm not the only one here on the thread that got one. Didn't you read even the last few posts where I pointed out my experiences with the Tab? I even had some LONG ones a few back about my trip across the US with my Tab on a train. Sheesh.

Uhhhh... that's like saying that a netbook experience is the same as a larger laptop--only with a smaller screen. Duh. That's sort of the point--including the higher resolution (it's not just a bigger screen, it's a higher resolution screen at 1024x600)

First, the mail app isn't modified--but yes, the calendar app is PHENOMENAL. I loooove the calendar app a lot better than my Droid's. Second, the browser hasn't seemed jerky at ALL to me. Mind you, I ended up replacing it with Dolphin anyway because I prefer it--but in the case of both browsers, I've not seen ANY jerkiness at all. Lastly, saying 'only stuff that works for most Android 2.2 devices works here' sounds hilarious. That's like saying, again, 'only stuff that works for most laptops work on netbooks.' Dude. It's the same OS. I would HOPE that's the case.

The only thing aesthetically more pleasant about the iPad is the larger screen--which also happens to be why it's far less practical than the Tab and much less portable. If you're into desktop version websites, you can tell your web browser on the Tab to display the DESKTOP website. I've covered that ad nausium all over several threads in the forum here. Dolphin makes it very easy by putting the agent option RIGHT in the main setup menu. It's okay, you can be forgiven for not realizing that a mobile web page is decided by the web browser's agent string, if you never actually use the web browsers on an Android device (or Nokia N900--where you can also change the agent), etc. It's the WEB SITE that decides how to show you the page--all you have to do is decide what type of agent string you want to identify to the website to get the kind of web page experience you want. Quit with the 'mobile web' whining, already. heh

No innovation at all! Just like the difference between a 14-inch computer monitor with a max resolution of 1024x768 versus a 17-inch computer monitor with 1600x1024. There's no innovation there at all. But I can tell you that I'll probably get a far better experience and more workspace to get things done on the larger monitor. Still--no innovation.

Good luck with that. One is more than a promise and I already own, the other is still a mythical beast with high promise that might end up castrated by its Nokian masters.
