You got that right. Requiring monthly payment to utilize an independent feature is criminal. It's like having to pay monthly just to be able to get volume from your speakers.

100% pass.

It may be the first Honeycomb tablet, but the price point ($800 ) and carrier-ridiculousness, is sure to turn many off -- myself included.

What's very interesting, is that it seems Honeycomb displays perfectly on the 800x480 screen. I can't wait to see it in action!

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't get Hulu for iOS, right? It's just Hulu Plus ($$), right? This kind of thing just seems ridiculous to me.
Correct as far as I know (about the IOS). But you could try jailbreaking and installing Frash. Skyfire might work too.

Anyway, tablet wise I think I'm just going go with an iPad2 and see if there are any (HTC) tablets on Android worth switching to after the first generation passes through.

The iPad2 is sure to be a good bet and a solid product. I'm looking forward to Apple's announcement in the coming month(s).

I don't know where HTC is, but they're awfully quiet on the Tablet front. I've not been a terribly huge fan of all of their hardware, but some of it is quite nice.

Honeycomb on the nook looks really solid. The GPU acceleration seems ot improve rendering in some cases, though others are not as smooth as I would like:

Still, very solid! Looks great on a 7" screen!

The browser looked like it struggled a bit with a typical forum page. So I'm guessing it wouldn't be ideal for heavy web browsing.
