And with the revealing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the company is showing that it's all in when it comes to Android. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Samsung finally pulled the curtain off the long-rumored and teased Galaxy Tab, the electronics maker's touch-screen tablet and answer to the Apple iPad."

    The Galaxy looks pretty sweet...but I'm excited about the plethora of tablets that will be hitting the market soon. Having choice is a good thing, and it will be nice to not have choice limited to a locked-down "appliance".

      Unless you can hold a button on bootup or install a package trivially that grants you access, you're still dealing with a "locked down appliance." Just because you -can- root it doesn't mean that they want you to.

    Sorry but I have a firsthand experience, Flash runs pretty well on my nexus one, you turn it on selectively and flash video plays fine and thats all I need it for.
