Really?? Not a bad deal at all.. :evil:

DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED!!!

Wow, the makers of those cheap Chinese ICS tablets that are currently around $150 here in the US better lower their prices to about $75 or so, QUICK. This thing has just made them irrelevant.

Thinking of picking one of these up ASAP.

This thing looks phenomenal

Debating whether or not to pick one up. They claim 9 hours of HD video but without an SD Slot for storage expansion, you will probably only be able to fit a few hours of HD video on the device.

I will buy one of these!! Can't wait!

looks like the tablet to have

and I love how the Xoom and Galaxy Nexus will receive 4.1 OTA mid-July, that's not bad at all!!! I'm sure VZW will delay it a bit, but that's what's great about rooting DancingNexus we'll probably get a Rom looong before VZW gets it.

Wish it was a 10" screen but this thing looks sweet!

I'd have to see it first. After watching the videos it looks small.

being that it will be available through google play, you think verizon will be involved? i hope not.

What looks to be the idea is that you have all of your videos stored in the cloud - when you are going to go somewhere you download a few of the movies for offline use, and then when you're done you just delete them from the internal memory and save them for use elsewhere back on the cloud. Just the only justifiable way I could think of doing that.

No expandable memory, no buy. Really like the other specs, however the lack of memory expansion hurts. For example, I've been in Switzerland for the last two weeks and I like to "load-up" on media when I'm traveling like this. 16gb is not enough. 32gb or a memory card slot and I would have bought this device.

no I mean once the OTA comes out to the Galaxy Nexus LTE (and Xoom, but we know how that works out in the end), VZW will delay it to their phones, like they have every other OTA to a Nexus device.

I am really debating on this to get.
