While many of the other complaints seem reasonable - it sounds like the software from Samsung isn't very good, and the lack of 3rd-party software is unsurprising (although with the number of other similar sized 7" Android tablets coming out, that should be fixed soon), that first section on size seems to be written from a pure iPad-fanboy perspective. I've used coworker's iPads a fair bit, and I dislike it the more I've used it - too big to not think "why wouldn't I just use a netbook or laptop instead?" and too heavy to hold up comfortably a e-reader (while a netbook only slightly heavier holds itself up, and has at least a chiclet keyboard [although I am rather horrified as those move to larger laptops.])

Then again, I despite touch-screen "typing," so better or worse between the 7/10 screens (or between either and 3.4-4.3 of current phones) is a comical non-issue for me.

Being locked to AT&T and the old version of Android would both be non-starters, although both of those may be fixable.

And it looks like Dell is fixing both.
