I am looking for a tablet myself -- I re-upped for two years with a really simple phone in May, when I found the only online stuff I was doing on my Blackberry was GPS, so I bought a GPS. I'd rather have something that's not tied to my phone, tho' it may end up working out that way... and I, too, would rather not be chained to STeve Jobs. That whole Apple design of "knowing what I want" never quite worked for me; too often I want something a *little* different... That Galaxy Tab might be where the "skipping the vending machine to put this in the jar" money goes...
