Of course, there might be a development community that has been able to extend the battery life, but you're starting at a pretty bad place if you go with that product.
I've been seriously thinking about the Iconia. The battery life isn't great, but it comes with a full USB port and an HDMI out. The reviews have also been pretty good. $299 seems like a real steal. I'm just having trouble justifying it to myself, especially given that my eDGe seems to take care of my work needs. I don't want to have a $299 paperweight sitting around my apartment.
And, of course, there is this little bit of news:

This seems like the perfect work tablet. I'm thinking I might wait a little longer for what I actually want - a high-end tablet with Honeycomb and a functional stylus. |
I like that Thinkpad! Only thing it's missing is the e-ink!
And the keyboard/case is very nice.
If they really come in at a decent price I think Lenovo might have a hit on their hands!
Techcrunch says it does not come with Netflix, but the Lenovo website says it does. Looks like a good collection of apps come with.
