Did some websurfing earlier and tried a couple of my apps, but haven't had much time to play with it. Crazy busy these days. I haven't even opened a Nexus One that I got earlier this week. |

Wow, ok, couch test while watching tv is pretty good. Good for mindless reading of news and stuff, but not good for forum posting. Typing is tedious. I can type faster on my iPhone using two thumbs.

And your opinion?
So after using this for a few days, I've definitely fallen into some patterns. I'm using it to read morning news at the breakfast table while eating and also during the evening while watching tv. The funny thing is that I rarely used either a laptop or phone during those times previously. The maps and directions are very well done, but I didn't want to pay the monthly fee for the 3G version so I probably wont use that feature much. The photo app is very popular for showing off pics to relatives. |

Fine. I'll say it. I believe the question on everyone's mind really is "How does the pr0n render?"

I have my notebook sitting on an ottoman next to the sofa. I'm always on it while watching TV, and most of the time I'm not even paying attention to the TV. I need a device that actually makes it more CUMBERSOME to surf and type so I don't end up taking 90 minutes to watch a 60 minute show because I have to rewind so often.
