I picked up one of these. I think they have it very mispositioned as an mp3 player only. It is basically a cell phone without the cell phone radio. So it can run most android apps and also works just fine as a wifi VoIP phone. So it is really a pda, pocket pc like device that can also double as a phone when you are in range of wifi. I set it up with csipsimple and it works well. However, due to the fact samsung thinks of it as an mp3 player (oh, it also plays a lot more formats the just mp3), the stripped out the dialer component of the OS so the contact list integration is not present with csipsimple. I had to switch to a paid app for now to get this. Cant wait for a custom rom to appear of Samsung to realize they should not strip out the dialer just because it does not have a cell radio. This is a neat device that I think will not sell as well as it should because Samsung marketing has it position all wrong.

Yeah, it's a 4" tablet. I ordered both a 4" and 5". Should get them tomorrow. It's taking a bit too long though. Two-day Prime will actually take 3 business days; and no wonder since it's going from Sparks, NV to Louisville to Seattle. What kind of twisted route is that?
