Having said that, video apps made specifically for Android -- YouTube and Al Jazeera for example -- produce perfectly acceptable on demand and live streaming at full screen.

Good to hear!
My dead Coby came with a YouTube app, but it wasn't the same YouTube app has found on the Android Market. There was a difference in behavior between the two. It would be sweet if I could get Netflix to work on the Vox, but it's not a high priority, and Cox likes to throttle our bandwidth the moment we open Netflix with the Xbox, anyway.
I've noticed that the loading of books or videos on my work Galaxy depends more on the app I'm using. Obviously, bigger file sizes will take longer, but the same file can load slower in one app than the other. I'm not sure if I'll stick with the Kobo reading app or not. I use Aldiko. Anyone know if you can delete the preloaded apps you don't want? My Coby wouldn't let me, which was annoying.
Looking forward to the Scrabble app. :-)
A camera might have been nice on the Vox, but I've only used the camera once with the Galaxy. It's awkward, imho, and my own camera is nicer. If you're wanting to Skype, yeah, a camera would be good. I've only done it once, on a family member's laptop, and wonder how Microsoft is going to bungle it up. ;-) Besides, if I spent more money on a nicer laptop, the man-boy I live with would always snatch it away!
