mgsweetheart, I can't believe you trashed the iconia... :O!
Seriously though, the display is a tad worse than the xoom one (the only other tablet I had in my other hand while handling the iconia and thus really compare with), I was not super impressed with the asus (but on that other day I did not have the iconia with me, thus no direct comparison possible). I love the iconia USBs, I keep repeating it over and over, but this allows me to use it almost solely, which is ultimately my aim.

I have (thanks to xda) now hacked the iconia which is running the Galaxy 10.1 version of honeycomb 3.1 and am just absolutely delighted. The flaws of ipad indeed started to weigh on me, although superman (other half of course) still uses it everyday and is happy with it.

I have to mostly agree with you (oh how painful :-), but you see, I wrote "mostly") on your analysis of the various devices and OS because I am still waiting for a device that would have the hardware AND the software working perfectly AND covering my needs OUT OF THE BOX. As I see it though, not going to happen, those guys need my money too often ;-).

One question for you still : did you use an android app to print from your tab, and if yes, which one?
