Android Tablet

[Jerry Feldman]

I think that these tablets may eventually replace laptops. I'd love to
see them to be able to do VGA output so you can use it to do
presentations. My Motorola Atrix is almost capable and has an HDMI
port. right now the Xoom is just one of the first generations of
usable Android tablets.
