Anyone get a droid tablet yet?
Looking at getting that Asus Transformer for $399. Usually I'm not an early adopter of new stuff, instead waiting for them to get the bugs out w/ the 2nd gen version. Figured it is cheap enough. Anyone have experience w/ one of these tabs they'd like to share?

I have a Xoom and use it daily. I absolutely love it. I mostly use it as an ultra portable browser but of course there are tons of apps for it as well. I'd buy it again if I had to do it all over again. It's so convenient.

i used to have a rooted nook color (7" IPS LCD, 1.4ghz snapdragon) and played around with it for awhile but i honestly found myself using my android phone more because its more portable and i just have it with me at all times... so i sold the tablet

I love my xoom too, but it is buggy as hell.
I lost thousands of pictures from my Xoom, due to the bugs. I am not sure if it is due more for apps not being compatible or what...
The bugs I see are mostly with adding/removing pictures. Folders and Gallery not updating. Showing older folder name. Even after clearing the data and cache.
I love it, but also hate it.

Honestly I don't use my Xoom for much more than a portable browser and nav unit. I also run a couple apps on it. The kids use it to play Angry birds. I haven't really discovered any bugs with it, but at the same time, don't really use it to the fullest extent.
Now that I have a boat, it's great to run the Marine App on it and check the NOAA forecast last minute at the boat ramp before I head out.

I will be getting Transformer within few days... en route from Amazon.
Between a browser, TV/movie viewer, games, kids' entertainment, Wiki for kids, and other educational stuff, I think I will get a good money's worth from it.

I now own an HP touchpad. Give it a few weeks, and it will be my first Android based tablet.

Got 2 of them for $150 each . (32GB model, the 16GB was the $100 deal)
1 for a "safe" tablet, 1 for hacking the bejeezus out of.

I have a 7in Galaxy Tab as I wanted a play with Android while keeping my main phone on Maemo and I didn't like the 10in tablets which I simply find far too large. I'm now looking to change to an Android phone as the N900 is sadly getting old and hasn't been properly supported for a long time even by Nokia and I'm struggling to see the point in keeping the Tab. I find the current tablets are just too underpowered and basic given they're pretty much just smartphones with bigger screens, I'd rather something that was a more genuine stepping stone between smartphones and ultralights.
