There are thousands of us out there that don't want to hold a 7" tablet to our ear or on bluetooth to make phone calls.  I have a cell phone.  I like a 7" tablet as I travel for ebook reading, email and internet.   The size is perfect and after looking and researching I chose one running Android 2.2. The main thing I can't understand is why Google locks up Android Market so we can't reach it.  If a specific app won't run on my 7" tablet oh well!!  Haven't you ever had a Windows app not work on your PC.  Why make a operating system and then only let PHONE people get to the apps.  Sometimes Tech Companies gets tunnel vision and just wants to cram anything and everything into one device. Will Google soon release 3.1 and we will have a device that will wake us up, jump in our pocket or purse and run our entire day so man will no longer have to think!!!!!!!!!!!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bobwohlrab]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2011 11:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Tablets of CES: Xoom, VIA, Tab and PlayBook Lead the Way]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh Poo Poo, I am Not This Geekie, Am I ?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Two Dogs A Humpin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2011 4:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Tablets of CES: Xoom, VIA, Tab and PlayBook Lead the Way]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</guid><description><![CDATA[So tired of Apple marketing and the Apple kool-aid drinkers who keep saying the same thing "no one thought it was useful or that anyone needed what it did, and it has tons of shortcomings" "but surprisingly millions have been sold" and also "its the best because Steve Jobs told us it is". Usually about 5 million items of Apple products are always sold at their introduction and updated hardware (replacements for last year's model) because there is a rabid core of 5,000,000 Appholes who always buy anything and everything Apple releases, no matter how useless or absurd, including the iPad. These people are the ones who buy the yearly updates to Apple hardware, and have a room full of the old Apple hardware from prior years. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sporty1jro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2011 5:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Tablets of CES: Xoom, VIA, Tab and PlayBook Lead the Way]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</guid><description><![CDATA[I received the Coby Kyros tablet for Christmas. I definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for an inexpensive, yet highly functional tablet. Android OS with WiFi, touch screen and a great selection of apps for free ebooks. Retails for about $200. It's beautiful, yet simple. Highly recommend. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cinthya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2011 7:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Tablets of CES: Xoom, VIA, Tab and PlayBook Lead the Way]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</guid><description><![CDATA[I found this interesting comparison between Galaxy Tab and iPad that is based on analysis of hundreds of their customer reviews. Your and your readers may be interested to see this analysis as well  <a href="http://blog.amplifiedanalytics.com/2010/11/851/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.amplifiedanalytics.com/2010/11/851/</a>. <br>You can also check reputation of other products if you go to <a href="http://www.amplifiedanalytics.com/V2P-Product-Reviews/Demo" rel="nofollow">http://www.amplifiedanalytics.com/V2P-Product-Reviews/Demo</a>, enter the product name or number (like "Samsung LN55C650 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV") and click on "Submit" button. The system will aggregate and analyze customer reviews to calculate the reputation metrics for you and will let you read the reviews if you want to.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[product_alert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2011 1:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Tablets of CES: Xoom, VIA, Tab and PlayBook Lead the Way]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2011/01/09/best-tablets-ces-xoom-tab-playbook-via/</guid><description><![CDATA[As an iPad owner I'm impressed and pleased to see a few contenders in the tablet market that actually have good products.  The Motorola looks especially interesting and feature loaded.  I'm also somewhat impressed with the Samsung Galaxy and recognize the smaller size is more appealing for reading books.<br><br>What I didn't see mentioned anywhere here (sorry if I missed it) is battery life.  If I got 10 hours on my iPad it would be a bad day.  Its simply the best for it's power longevity and a mobile device should be for those of us not tethered to offices and homes all day.  I'm pretty skeptical the Motorola would have even half the battery life with all those features and flash.  The Galaxy may be somewhat better with a smaller screen but with no data its only a guess.  I "sacrificed" flash for battery life in the iPad and have no regrets. What do these devices offer for real field tested battery life?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2011 11:07AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
