I hope the PlayBook is good. I wouldn't mind picking one of those up as an actual tablet for everyday use. But, they better be worth the money.

Awesome that is some great pricing! It's great to see all of these excellent devices priced aggressively. Gives the consumer the best choices for their money.
As tubemonkey pointed out if the hardware is too much as well as the price you can always go for the economy models(modified nook). I'm hoping these devices also push the prices of the Dell Streak and Galaxy Tab 7" as well. =X= |

The rim is only 7" right? The Samsung is a better deal, unless you have to have a berry. Glad Samsung is pricing it right. Specs look real good. Too bad it won't come out til June. Ibet motorola will drop price on the xoom right before then

Just install SipDroid and create a google voice account. Then you can make calls over the WI-FI or 3G if you have that enabled. =X= |
