I've been following the Adam blog since last CES. They're a new start-up and have to deal with a lot of new laws and conventions, so I'm also willing to cut them enough slack to wait and see. I could have pre-ordered but I held off because no matter how shiny-looking their product is I want a hands-on review before I spend over $500 plus shipping on anything. Especially if it's made by a company with no track record in manufacturing or distribution and their inexperience has made the release more than problematic. I still may get one, like the folks at androidpolice.com, I hope they prove it's a great product.

For now, I'm giving my Witstech A81 away and I doubt I'll ever buy direct from China again. Unfulfilled promises galore and potential they barely scratched. I'll probably spring for the new Archos 70 which has Android 2.2 now. They've been making PMPs for years and the OS has a variety of e-reader programs available and I think 7" is a better form factor for casual use than 10". Maybe Apple or Notion Ink will take note of the Galaxy Tab's success and try to steal some of their thunder.
