Looks like I'll be saving some money. I purchased a $99 TouchPad on Amazon last Sunday and just received the email telling me my order was cancelled due to out of stock. Geez. When I placed my order it was in stock. Oh well. I have a smart-phone and a netbook, did I really need a tablet?

Yeah a tablet with no apps and no one developing new apps. Your not missing out. There is however a movement to port Android to them.

I saw that, Chris Darrow. I was wondering how that would work since Android relies heavily on it's "back" button and the TouchPad was designed with only one button, ala iPad.

I bet the hackers will create some sort of multi click system or virtual buttons.

I have a galaxy tab, way more than $99, but worth it. Android, lots internal memory, flash, and more.

EVO View tablet here. Love it. I got Ann the iPad 2 for her birthday in May, and it's just too big a form factor for me to want to carry around. The View is a 7" form factor (same size as the Galaxy Tab, but thinner and lighter), and it'll fit in a pocket. Sometimes just barely (wrangler painter's jeans have pockets that my hands barely fit in), but if I can get my hand in a pocket past the wrist, the tablet will fit comfortably.

That is how my GTab is as well. Just right for a lot of things. There are a few things I like the size of the iPad better for. But for most things I prefer the size of the GTab.

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.
