We've had some discussion on the list about the sub-$200 Android tablets. How about the higher-end models? Anyone own or test drive on of those? (The ones below are either not available yet or too new, but there have been a few before these, like the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab.) -Tom http://mashable.com/2011/01/07/motorola-xoom-android-honeycomb-video/ The Motorola Xoom is the first tablet to run the Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" OS. Revealed at CES earlier this week, the device sports a 1GHz dual core processor, a 10-inch screen and 4G connectivity. http://mashable.com/2011/02/14/hands-on-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1/ Samsung just delivered another broadside against Apple in the tablet wars. After unveiling a 7-in. Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab, late last year to what became an underwhelming customer response, the Korean company upped its game, announcing a 10-in. version running a better operating system. The Tab 10.1 will be one of the lightest tablets in an increasingly crowded marketplace, and it runs Honeycomb, the next-generation version of Android optimized for tablets. It ships this spring in Europe and Asia; no U.S. launch date has been announced yet. -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
