I really like the look of it, and love the fact it's got HTC Sense.
My only (potential) issue is I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy browsing the web on a 7" screen, I think I might prefer the extra screen estate of a 10" tablet for web browsing.

It looks like a big phone. </Mr. Obvious>
Anyone know what the specs are? That article just reads like someone having a tecno-wank.

[LIFTED] me it's £600!!
If I could activate/sync it using Linux, I might actually look at the iPad 2 instead. But since Apple hate Linux, I'd be looking at the Xoom, or another Android solution*.
* I much prefer Android to iOS anyway, for obvious reasons.

Seems so doesn't? Mind you it's a bit meh for me as I can't stand current touchscreens anyway - IME they're either way too slow or way too sensitive.  _________________Jim

It's a sponsored article  I guess if you only plan to use it at home on your sofa then bigger is better. If you plan to carry it with you when you leave the house 7" makes sense...

And some people don't. Some want to be able to carry it in the pocket of their jacket or their jeans instead I don't only mean the transportation of the device, I am also talking about using it. I've seen one girl trying to watch a movie on an ipad on the tube while standing. Let's just say she was all over the place and didn't look comfortable at all, her arm kept falling under the weight of it. For couch surfing 10" is the best, I don't argue with that. On the move though, 7" is the winner hands down.

Depends really, if you spend most of your time wobbling about on public transport, or seated somewhere. If you're only buying it to use on your commute, fair enough, but I'd imagine most people would spend the majority of their time using it sat down somewhere (possibly even on a train or bus) - so the 10" would be preferable.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/flyer/specification.htmlThere are the specs. I did read somewhere that it runs Android 2 rather than 3 (but will get 3 sometime after launch) and there is nowhere to store the stylus.

Speaking of stylus, I don't think the WIFI version comes with one, at least according to this: http://www.androidcentral.com/best-buy- ... ome-stylusAlso on Amazon, the stylus is listed as "Frequently Bought Together" under the table itself @ £39.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004 ... ters&psc=1

You'll be able to activate it without tethering to anything with iOS5.
