Exactly, it's listed on Amazon, but there's that unknown release date. This morning I just got my cancellation confirmation from Lenovo. Took them awhile! I was actually expecting them to ship it! Then I'd basically say oh well and accept my fate.

The problem with the Vizio, as noted on MR and other tablet forums, is that Vizio named the internal SD card in a way that moving apps to the SD card pushes them not to your external card but this internal partition, so you're very limited on apps. No one's been able to root it to solve this problem yet. However, if you're not going to use many apps, the $189 at CostCo for a pretty decent budget tablet is a good idea. :-) I've thought about it, but I ran out of space so fast on my dead Coby and had memory problems and partition issues that I just want to avoid that again.

I'm thinking I want to get something that will last me 2-3 years at the very least. It irks me that only the bulky Thrive offers a replaceable battery. These devices would probably last longer if not for limited battery life.
