Cock: do you just have a bag of cool links you've been holding out on? That looks sweet for sure - cant wait to see what the tech is like 20 years from now. Mind will definitely be blown.

For 200$ you can't do much better at the moment. I got my eye on the new Sony one because they are actually changing up what tablets look like as well as entertainment offers. I can see it coming down to Kindle Fire vs Sony Tablet S next year, its will be who can produce more and better quality of entertainment and titles for the devices.

and USB support and HDMI if I remember correctly; a friend of mine just ordered one. - EDIT: Im an idiot, I was thinking a different tablet, the Asus Transformer, the Samsung is nice too!

Speaking of Apple... it sure has gone 80 / 90's Microsoft since Mr. Jobs stepped down. Suing everyone, banning everything, hiring London police to watch apple store during London riots, impersonation an officer to try to get into "iphone 5 holders" house and search his stuff.

Apple: Its not FASCISM when WE do it!

Samsung has support for USB/HDMI/you name it. It only has ONE port, but that port can adapt to almost any connection, that's the brilliance of it.

As for the Sony tablet, there's a HUGE downfall - the charge port. It's on the bottom (inconvenience, but it's not alone as other tablets have it there as well) - BUT, it's the flimsiest piece of connection you'll ever see. I've had in my hands for the last month, and boy, that bitch will break EASY through regular ownership :(

i want to get one of these e-books, but i hear that you don't actually get to own the files and if you lose your kindle you have to re-buy? can you back-up your copies? How does it work?

After researching all of them ... Nook tablet = win (i will be picking up mine today)

Kindle Fire is good because it has amazon backing it (apps/movies/cloud) But you are too reliant on the cloud.... If you dont have a good wifi connection you are screwed (8g internal) ... Nook has 16G plus sd card slot for 32... Also screen on nook has better resolution and more battery life...
