The 10.1 travels well and is (obviously) better for movies. How much are they selling the 7.7 for?

I got it for $220 shipped.   It has 2.2 on it though and now I think I should have waited, but then again, this is for my 4yo son....

Looks like people are getting Gingrbread on the 7" tabs across the pond... can't see why you wouldn't get it here.

the new ones have it in stores..  since we ordered this it didn't have it, which is probably why it is $200

Yeah, but as far as I can see, it's supposed to be an update through whatever update software is on it.  Not like the version you buy it with is the end-all of what it will run.

I looked at the 7.7 in Best Buy and it had Honeycomb running.

I'm not sure how it works on Android, where you can install the newer OS. I believe that they just update the existing, but you can't change it. For example, you can't upgrade from Gingerbread to Honeycomb, you can simply install the latest version of Gingerbread. At least ths is what I've read.

From my limited research, Honeycomb requires a dual core cpu and the original Tab does not have that.

However, someone has ported it...

Honeycomb doesn't require it... but it sure makes it nicer.

You should still be able to upgrade to Gingerbread though... which is muuuuuch nicer than FroYo.  At least on my DX it was.

I'll see how it goes.  He's 4 and we just want something for him to play educational games on.

yeah, that too.  but we want it to mostly be educational stuff. 

there are some really good writing apps and a nifty app to teach chinese writing.. his piano teacher does the lessons in chinese, so it would help to reinforce it.

Angry birds = projectile motion.

Use it to teach him multi-variate calculus.
