Here we go: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/nyt-google-android-tablet-imminent/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed%3awired%2findexwired%3aindex3topstories2

Google's tablet using the Android OS. That will most likely be the best competition for the iPad. Considering Google owns the world.

The fact that Google is very pro open source I think everyone who is hating on the iPad will very much like Google's tablet.

Considering I use Google docs and gmail and Google reader, I'm thinking I may end up going this route. I'm just curious how the device itself will hold up.

I also hate how when I just want to charge my phone on my computer, they open up iTunes, back up all my shit, check for updates, and I can't even close out of the shit. If somebody knows how to stop this from happening automatically, please tell me.

Wait, wait... here's the best reason to hate Apple: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/04/free-iphone-apps-theres-an-ad-for-that/

Basically, they are selling devices preloaded with adware on it so they can make buttloads of recurring revenue on a device they already ... That makes a whole shit load of sense doesn't it? People spend money on anti-ad/spyware software. Why the crap would we buy a device with adware built in?

You think that's bad:

Apple does not let people use certain tools to make there applications. Or basically its like kicking a chair out of a store because it was made with a hammer they did not like.
