Any Motorola Droid users here yet?

I've read about the 5" "Dell Streak" as it's called. I read rumors of a 7" and/or 10", but haven't read anything about the existence of a 10". Cool.

There are actually lots of really bad Chinese iPads based on the Android software, but the sound like they are mostly crap.

I don't think I'd want a 5", maybe a 7", but the 10" iPad seems to be the perfect size for what I want it for.

Cisco Systems is actually making a 7" tablet based on Android that they are going to couple with a lot of their communications audio, video and web software. I'd say that Dell and Cisco tinkering in Android is a good sign that it's here to stay. I think my phone would be great as a larger device, possibly better than an iPad if the hardware was good enough. I also like the ability to get it rooted and do more with it.

My biggest complaint about it is having to hit "ALT" to enter numbers on the hardware keyboard. But I try to avoid doing any spreadsheet work on my phone.

That's one of the benefits to my G1, it's got a full 5 row keyboard, all of the letters and numbers without having to hit a modifier key. It's pretty nice.

So, the software versions were 1.0 or whatever the G1 first came with (actually, in the beginning, pre-1.0), then 1.1, and then 1.5 (cupcake), then 1.6 (donut), then 2.0 and 2.1 (Eclair and what I'm running right now) and the newest, just barely out is 2.2 (Froyo). It's supposed to support Flash 10.1.

Exactly what I'm thinking, too small to be a good tablet, and too big to be a good phone.

7", ok, I can sort of see that. It'll be a little more portable than 10", but still plenty big for what you're getting. I think 9-10" is perfect for my use, but might be willing to consider a 7".

I have handled one. I like it quite a bit. Still trying to decide if I will obtain one. I don't know if even an Android based tablet will replace my Motion J3500.

OK, but at 1/10 to 1/3 the price....

Sure the Motion is more money, but it has far greater capabilities too. For me the price is not the problem. I want a device that does 90% of what I do on the internet in a reasonable size. I love my J3500, but hate to carry it.

My ideal device would be:

Screen size (if high enough resolution) could be as small as 5" diagonal.
It should have at least as fast a processor as my Droid (1 GHz),
4 to 8 GB memory,
GPS,
Cell Phone,
WiFi,
Bluetooth,
be supportable enterprise-wise without any upgrade to average business enterprises,
replaceable battery,
expandable data storage,
8 megapixal camera with LED flash and 18 degree wide angle lens,
Unlocked GSM for Europe/Verizon capable for the States,
and no heavier than 6 ounces, no thicker than .700 inch.
