Android tablets to rival iPad
Deozaan:
How many years since the original iPad was launched? And still there is no tablet available comparable in form factor, weight, performance and price running Android :(

The Transformer and the Xoom are heavier, the 10.1 is not available (at least not in Europe).
(so, well, yeah, ok, they are comparable ;) )

Should be available in the UK pretty soon, so it's getting closer. ;)

I'm actually holding out for HP's webOS and TouchPad.
Primarily because of what they're doing to make life as easy and profitable as possible for developers. They have understandable and sane developer's licensing, good software tools, support for OpenSource partnering, and a very fair (70% to developer) revenue sharing schedule. Details here.
Best of all, just about anybody who wants in can do so easily - and for free. Compare that to what you need to go through (and put up with) to be an iOS developer.
Maybe 1984 wasn't "just like 1984."
But 2011 could well be if Apple has anything to say about it. :P

You know how it goes. The first 3 each shop gets go to the first of the 59 pre-orders. The next shipment with the next 10 is then due one month later. The first deliveries will also be the 16 GB ones only. Then, after another 6 months, when the 32 GB ones get available, the far superior successor has already been announced for 3 months and delivery is *imminent*. Damn, I'm so sick of it. >:(
