I'm fine with a stripped down OS as I just want to tread books and PDFs, mark them up, and watch some videos, surf the net etc.

The iPad is just too stripped down with it's lack of an accessible file system etc. But I don't need Windows 7 either. Android, WebOS etc. with a file system and Flash support and I'd be a happy camper personally.

I'll still use my laptop and desktop for all my real computing needs. My tablet will just be my reader and sometimes media consumption device.
Definitely food for thought. I agree that the tech. has yet to catch up with my goal, LOL.
When they get support for all formats for Android (I don't *think* they are there yet, are they?) I'll be a lot less hesitant about it.
