I had the chance to play with one last night, it is a very clean device. Really odd looking, as it is more square and fat looking than the other tablets, but it was really smooth. I like the swipe up to end an application. Full flash support and everything, YT loaded okay but there was a bit of weird formatting. But like I said, smooth. Not sure if I'd be willing to go with WebOS instead of Android, but it seems to be a nice tablet for the fans of it.

It'll be interesting to see the sales figures, and I want to use one too, I've heard Web OS is pretty slick...

Hardware looks sick, 1.2ghz snapdragon dual core, guts of a galaxy SII looks like it. Wish it had android tho.

Why in the world would you rather have Android than WebOS? Android is ok, but WebOS is a far better OS, especially for tablets.

app department is lacking... People REALLY need to try out Hulu :)

But from the looks of demo's online, it looks really really laggy... (not ipad smooth, nor Galaxy Tab 10.1 smooth)

You're looking at the old demos then. All of the reviews/previews from recent weeks remark how smooth the UI is.

no. I'm looking at the Walmart Demo's that people are saying "it's sooo smooth!" in fact, someone even pinched and zoomed in on a picture. It's android slow! no where near WP7 or iOS smooth.
