Nope. I have no use for a tablet, and if I did, I wouldn't buy an Amazon one.

No, I just bought a netbook. Tablets just don't appeal to me yet.

It looks pretty awesome, but I already have an HP TouchPad and they are pretty close to getting Android on it.

Most likely not, Android smartphone removed my need for a tablet.

If there's a feature to tile or have many windows on one screen, I'd be all ears. Until then, I'll be no ears.

Turns out a family member just preordered this for me even though I do not want it. LOL
I will definitely take it for free.  |

I might get a tablet, if my laptop screen dies out completely (long time from now, even though it's five years old, and change).

With only Android 2.1 I don't see how this would be attractive without rooting it.
