Like reimar, I cant stand apple's bubble life. So I stay away from them when possible. (have a work issued MB pro) Not the best device for IT work... but to the story, I have the Dell Streak 5 (1Ghz, 2GB flash, front 1.3 and rear 5mp camera w/flash, 32gb micro sd, 5in gorilla glass touch and 3g) on 2.3 and its a tab first then mobile cell 2nd. I've read a lot of bad things about it which prob is why it didn't make the cut. Most were related to it having ATT's load on it but if its Dells load, your solid. Lets hope it stays that way. I'd have it on this list at 9 and the ipad on my list as 10 only due to its popularity. The Thrive is yes a lil tank like but the key point for me in buying it over the Asus Eee was the connection options. Add the BT keyboard and it runs with the Asus minus the extra battery from the Asus keyboard.
