I like it. It's a an Android tablet, with a nice IPS / capacitive sceen, the size is about right, and it's only $250.

I hated the ipad due to its failures for the price - no HDMI out, no usb, no memory card slot, etc.

Here, it's a device that is half the price, a bit smaller. It still lacks HDMI & traditional usb...but at $250 I'll accept a device that does a bit less and is a bit more portable. The Samsung Galaxy tab is too pricey IMO (and still lacks HDMI out).

The biggest problem is that it doesn't support the standard Google marketplace. But - I'm sure it'll get rooted, or market apps will be installable, somehow.

I'm not going to replace my e-reader. E-ink is so much better for reading books. But for PDFs, websurfing, etc this would be very cool. I could see getting one for $200 or so if the app support materializes.

Lastly, the new Nook kids stuff is pretty sweet. There's a couple of kid e-reader gadgets out - Vtech, etc - they are pricey and the book cartridges are pretty expensive. I'd honestly rather go with something like this at some point. My kids are a little young to be trusted with a gadget like this - but a year or so from now, I can see giving my oldest one.
