This and the Nook Color are probably the "best" tablets out right now for a decent price. All the newer tablets have better specs but they also come in at 2-3 times this price in some cases which is just too expensive for a tablet. Both require rooting to get better software but it's an easy process. This has better specs than the Nook Color but the Nook is anywhere from $50-$100 cheaper so they both have trade offs.
The only things this is really missing is a rear facing camera (if you really want to be taking pictures with a 10" tablet) and a GPS chip (so unfortunately you can't use turn-by-turn mapping software with this).
Nice summary, gassy. One word for you: Beano.
I own it. Viewing angle is by far the worst I have ever seen on any device - the screen is almost unacceptable except when you consider the price difference, which it is only 1/3 the price of similar hardware (e- xoom). Also, it is not a very good multitouch, as it can only handle two fingers (no more than two points on the screen at a time (1 + 1)). So, considering the price, i give it 3 out of 5...but if a xoom was the same price, I would give it 1 out of 5. Nvidia is so embarrassed by this tab that its not even listed here:
