@warone: If you go back a few pages you'll see I posted a long list of programs that will work with the A81, from an upload by phuongt. It's not ideal as a game machine due to the total lack of buttons but you can play some games with a stylus or fingertip, such as Bejeweled. I assume hangman and word games, missile command and similar games would also work.
My faves are:
movies - Coreplayer
books - ALReader for all but prc/pdb (I use mobipocket for those)
pics and comics - MMCE
I haven't had wifi turned on for a long time due to browser problems and speed and it still won't see my network so I can stream videos from my PC. Which is something I'm sure the iPad will do extremely well.
@mervsduh: They began promising Android back in November when I first looked at the A81, saying it would be ready by December. I doubt we'd care half as much if they hadn't dangled it out there. I'd accept linux instead since I don't know how well Android will work on the A81 since it has no hardware buttons.
If you take out the battery you'll lose time/date settings so I'd suggest trying a hard reset by holding the power button down until the device reboots. That works even when the reset button fails to shut down my A81.
I've had some FLV files play but I've also had files of almost every format fail to play, most notably MPG files. I've resorted to encoding most everything into h.264 MP4 for iTouch, that way I can put them on my Touch and have them if I ever buy an iPad.
