My problem with todays tablets (Another take on the DA)
It's not that there is one tablet announcement a day, but there have been many since the last quarter of last year and Android 3.0 being almost ready. I like these tablets (though they are not yet good enough that I would recommend an Android tablet to a normal, average user that wants to buy an iPad 2), but they all, including Apple's solution lack one feature that I really want with a tablet computer: Really great handwriting support, like the old Apple Newton had it about 13 years ago. ASUS (Eee Pad MeMO) and HTC (HTC Flyer) tried to adress this issue in order to differentiate their products, but it's simply unfortunate, as they just add special frameworks to stock Android to give you some handwriting - there is no way that you will be able to use handwriting with all applications in the same, simple, streamlined way.

Samsung GT-i8320 - Impressions of the LiMo compliant Vodafone 360 OS
Of course I didn't get the Samsung H1 / GT-i8320 to use it with the preinstalled system, a LiMo compliant system made customized for the 360 service of Vodafone (an European operator), I bought one to play with the original software, bought it to try MeeGo, Android, SHR and other software on this.
