If you are planning to get one, I would suggest wait 1 or 2 months. B&N will launch its own Android Market soon and the Os still has some problems. They just released the 1st firmware version recently so I won't be surprised of another major release in about 2 months or so. Some folks have reported problems turning pages or like me, a totally frozen or unresponsive browser when using Internet.
Thanks, but too late. I already bought the iPad, though I remain interest to see what the B&N app store will come up with. And you're right: an iPad is expensive if all you're looking for is a way to do word-processing on the fly.

I hope the promise of a B&N app store is more substantive than the Amazon promise of an app store for the Kindle has turned out to be.
