I suspect the Epic Android thread is the last remaining thread with useful posts--so this is where they end up coming? Poor talk.MAEMO.org is just a shell of its former self lately. :P

So you don't consider the kernel threads useful or the CSSU threads or Hildon Desktop or App threads useful, or you just have your own personal definition of useful?

Just ran across this video of the Asus EEE Pad Slider.
Same hardware as the Transformer, plus a full usb port. Looks like it is around 2 pounds, little heavy for a tablet, but it has the keyboard built-in.
From the video, it looks very stable in use (not prone to tipping over). Looks like it would be great to setup on a desk for some extra productivity, or watching videos on. Perhaps even in the car as an oversize GPS.
Any thoughts? A trackpad would have been nice to keep your hands in the same relative postion, without having to touch the screen?

Now THAT is an incredibly want-able form factor!It looks like it might be.. what? A 9-inch? It looks perfect for long trips.

I believe it's a 10" tablet. At 2 pounds, heavier than most tablets, but less than the Transformer + keyboard. A little extra weight for a keyboard, less battery than the Transformer+dock, but less weight as well. Also thinking, you can get some major storage with it. 32GB internal, 32GB microsd, AND 32GB microsd in one of those small usb adapters = 96GB without comprising the size/form.
Being a fan of the 7" size, I'd kill for that form factor in a 7" tablet. Although the keyboard might be a little cramped.
My birthday is in September, and I figure I'll get myself a new tablet. The S7 has some flaws, but is very usable. I'd like the upgrade to dual core, more RAM, and honeycomb.
I'd like to stay in the 7" size, but I'm not sure there will be anything worthwhile in a month or so. Baring any surprises in the 7" range, I'll probably opt for the Transformer (or possibly the Slider if available).
For the 7" size, I'd lean towards the Memo (but now word on availability), the Acer A100 looks interesting (but also looks like the battery is far too small). Vizio has an 8" (with IR). Amazon might also have a 7" soon.
Any suggestions, or anything I missed?

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
