About to pull the trigger
The subject heading sounds like a threat, but it isn't intended that way. I really need to annotate PDFs stylusly plus do light netbook types of things (e-mail, ssh things), and there's nothing else either existing or announced that will work. I'm a little dismayed at the lack of an sdk and release notes for the latest OS version, plus the hardware is clunky and will never run Honeycomb, although I'm guessing Honeycomb is itself is going to be a bit clunkier than people think.
Anyway, what I'm even more distressed about is the very dull naming system for the OS versions. Coyote and Dingo are fine, since they're dogs which are honorary reptiles, but Ermine is just a boring little weasel that isn't even edible. There were much finer animals available - couldn't they even name it Elligator? Anyway, for the future, I would hope that they choose a greater variety of more general interesting animals. Exx:
Fat-tailed gecko or Flying gecko
Gold dust gecko (not "GEICO gecko"; might be issues with trademark infringement)
House gecko
Indo-pacific gecko
Jaragua gecko
Kuhl's gecko
Leopard gecko
Madagascar day gecko (the model for the GEICO gecko; please note that the cartoon version isn't as cute as the real ones)
