Put my order in this morning! Lenovo A1, while I think overall to be a better tablet (sight unseen, just specs, form, etc.), does NOT have the full market as advertised. Google has confirmed this as well as a Lenovo rep in their forums, but this info has not been communicated down through the sales reps or on the website. Maybe that's why they've been pulling out? No one could guarantee/prove that my pre-ordered tablet would be Market certified/licensed, just their word, and since Google says no, and K1 owners are the ones who brought it to my attention, I can't spend that much money on someone's word.
So, I'm bought the Kobo. Saved $56 bucks, too, from the A1. Yes, I won't have as many bells and whistles and I'm a little nervous about Kobo's first tablet run, but I haven't read good things about Viewsonic or Velocity, so Kobo's open philosophy edges me over rolling back 200mhz (compared to the new V tablets and the A1). I feel more comfortable with the $189 price point, too.
