My Top 3:

1) Control the lights, heat, alarm and media throughout your house.
2) Build the tablet into a robot, for doing tricks, videoconferencing or talking to your kids.
3) Attach some high altitude balloons and some instrumentation, send the tablet into space.

That's my top 3 too lolllllllllll

Ditto.

And here's a photo of our Favorite Mod #3 in use.

Hmm I need to figure out how to do something like #1.when I own a house.

Those are awesome mods! this thing just keeps getting more interesting...

I did say "out of the box" but I was more talking in the literal sense . Like when I reformat one of my XP machines to clear out the system clutter, I have a list of programs to load and settings to change to get them up to snuff, usually takes less than an hour and gives the computer that "new car" feel with everything optimized and exactly where I want it. That sort of thing. I have a feeling that I will be reflashing this thing often, just trying to create list as I get my feet wet...

Thanks for any input!
