For $100, its not bad. Find a way to hack Froyo and Flash onto it and its not bad at all.

What does "Download and install custom Google Android&#8482; Applications" mean? If theres no Market what are those apps? Walgreens own app service or something?

And you better believe I would want at least 2.0 on there before I even consider buying the stupid thing. I used the G1 when it first came out and it was not great.

EDIT:
You know what I really want in a tablet? A big flash drive or SD slot with a 16 or 32 gb card that allows map downloads from Wifi. Add a GPS receiver and navigation software. Phone navigation is kind of a pain even with a 4 inch screen. And saving the maps to the drive would be a hell of a lot faster than getting them on the fly over 3G which tends to be troublesome zipping down the highway at 65 miles an hour. If the thing also had voice controls that would be even better.

I tried doing navigation with my netbook, a GPS USB device and MS Streets and Trips and it worked out OK, but I should think tablets could replace laptops and stand alone navigators.

TomTom on an iPad with 3G is pretty slick
