I'd probably get one if I could fluke out and find one in stock somewhere. -- nm - Shaun Aug 22, 12:41
That Tigerdirect page just will. Not. Load for me. -- nm - con_FWP Aug 22, 12:28 3
- CompUSA and CircuitCity are the same site as TigerDirect. All are currently hammered. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:32
- The CDW link ML posted charged me $27 in shipping, but might cost you less. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Aug 22, 12:29 1
  - I used to work right near one of their warehouses. It was dangerous for us to go over to pick up equipment since they had a showroom there too -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 12:30

- Ah. It's got Skype. There's your #2 reason right there (Angry Birds being #1). -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:27 5
  - Can I read email, Facebook and do Angry Birds? - my dad si Aug 22, 12:29 4
    - Just got the green light from my wife. *squeeee!* -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:30 3
      - I'm tempted from the Android perspective. webOS looks great but I'd want Netflix and I'd be curious if you could throw a ROM on it and get it to work -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 12:31 2
        
        I've rarely used Netflix on the iPad but I can see the benefit on a long car trip (but you'd need a wifi hotspot). It *does* have Pandora. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:38 1
        
        Oddly, it gets used mostly around the house to resolve TV disputes with the 2 kids now as they get older. We only really have 1 TV in the house - oblique Aug 22, 12:40
I'd get past the lack of apps fast. I think Netflix would be the one app that I'd be like "Damn, wish it had that" -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 12:25 1
- Maybe Netflix shows mercy and still develops an app. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:26
