I got tired of sites like Google Maps or Google Docs or Google-just-about-anything being too slow b/c of all the JavaScript. Sites like FaceBook and Hulu started requiring a later Flash version. Many Flash games were too slow unless you switched them to "Low Quality". So I feel like I can kind of access the full Internet, but it's leaving me in its rear view mirror.
Wait... the N810 did offer the entire internet. Just that you could install methods to block ads, like Privoxy.
I would ideally want to get that back with a tablet, not because I miss the ads of non-mobile web sites, but because I want to go to a site like Hulu or Medici and have it just work without having to have someone build an app for the stupid thing. 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.

i just got home from CES.
motorola had a honeycomb tablet. it was nice and honeycomb is definately a step up for android. it was dificult to get to it as they only had one tablet and too many people around it.
but my favorite new product was the rim tablet on webkit. it was solid and had true multi-tasking with flash and html5. i am not a lkiker of blackberries, just dont like the interfaces, but the tablet is nice. being released in wifi first and then with sprint on wimax.

I stopped putting importance on generation(s) mainly because of how it's potentially perceived. 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 could be seen as incremental steps or seen as generations. I just see them as incremental steps of the OS and have to differentiate between the hardware as the generations now.
Edit: Oops, didn't see danramos post above... basically said the same thing as him.

To me, that's not exactly ideal, but it's not too much of a prob. I've played with the Galaxy Tab and like it. But using the current version(s) of the tablets - iPad and Galaxy Tab - it feels like phone iterations of those software. The RIM Playbook and Honeycomb seem to really take advantage of the tablet form in a new, more efficient way.
That... I like even more. But no probs really with Froyo. Just that it feels unoptimized for the format.

I was pretty interested in the first initial Meego Tablet experience but I guess Nokia / Intel dumped that. Now Honeycomb can fill that space.
But on the subject of Tablet OS's I did like the Eden panel views that Notion Ink designed on top of Android (reminded me of the panel views of Meego Tablet).
