Shiny. 5" still seems just the wrong size to me - I'd rather have one at 4" or 7"+ so that it could be either a phone or a decent browsing device, but I like where this is going. #dellstreakleak
@weatherman: Same here. I just don't understand that 4" to 7" range. The days of the PMP are done, having been replaced by ultralight laptops and widescreen phones, so why try to keep the form factor alive? Either make it smaller so it can live in a non-cargo-pants pocket, or make it larger so it can replace most uses for a laptop. #dellstreakleak

@Xeno: Oh man. And here I was thinking that I would want a ride in that thing. Gulp. It's not very often you want find out you almost turned yourself over to a pedophile. I think I'll go reconsider my life now. #androidtabletvegaicd
@cmanptown02: Fair enough haha, at least you did admit it. But yes, there is some truth to your statement because Apple usually comes out with well thought out, solid products. #androidtabletvegaicd
These designs *really* remind me of the "CrunchPad" that TechCrunch was working on, although it was running on an x86 processor. Design, and specs sound great (even with the resistive screen - c'mon guys, it's not like the thing is from 1978 or anything), although I'm wondering how the performance will be compared to x86 tablets. Hmmm.... either way, I want something for reading the Giz in bed ;-) [cache0.techcrunch.com]
OK guys, I'm confused. How does Chrome OS fit into all this? Because Android can&will do netbooks right?and as I was so roundly told the other week, its going to take over the world... #androidtabletvegaicd
@Serpentor X: I'm pretty sure Chrome runs on x86 archiecture; Android needs ARM processors like Qualcomm's Snapdragon or Nvidia's Tegra chips (except for that Acer Aspire One which uses a special modded version designed to work on Atom) #androidtabletvegaicd
Awesome! I just installed it and it works like a charm! Can't wait to take it for a spin tomorrow :)
EDIT: BTW the instructions above did NOT help me on Windows 7 64-bit; here's a guide on how to install it from the phone's Terminal Emulator (Credit to Paul22000 from XDA):
A) Place 3 files on sdcard (build.prop, build.trout.prop, Maps.apk)
So do you have to adb into the phone in order for this to work? I hate having to slog through countless pages of "omg it's not working halp" and "yes it is, you're just dumb" posts to FINALLY get to the part where someone lays out how to initiate the darn thing.
@FooSchnickens - BPH Free: Ok, looks like I got it working. It does use ADB to push everything to the phone so be sure you have the drivers on your computer before you start.
Now all I need is a car adapter that will also work with the phone's sound output and I'm all set. My iPod is feeling more and more obsolete these days. It's kind sad. :( #googlemapsnavigationg1
@00000000: Seems to work just like the review giz posted earlier this month. I agree on the voice being a bit grating at times, but it gets the job done. It even knew the secret back way I use to get to work that avoids all the traffic.
I'll have to fiddle with it some more this weekend whilst running some errands. #googlemapsnavigationg1

On the other hand Chrome is all Google and I suppose will be for your desktop. idk #androidtabletvegaicd

D) Run "Maps"

(If "Navigate" doesn't show up, something went wrong.)
E) To get other apps back to normal (if stuff broke):
