I have not, but there are Freepers that have.

Guess I should get it on my plate.

HTC has always delivered solid devices.

Frankly, as a serial traveler, I like the Dell Streak, but would like a larger slate with a slide-out keyboard (soft keyboards stink -— from everyone) and a built-in phone that also slides out and shares the data connection.

Well, Nokia has something on their gear that is theirs....know nothing about it...

HP just acquired Palm and they have an operating system...

Oh and RIM has something of their own...

OH Intel and Nokia recently combined efforts on a joint thing to replace Intel's Moblin...

Here we go:

Nokia and Intel to merge Maemo, Moblin mobile operating systems

And Microsoft never gives up and they have a Windows 7 for the phones project I think.

Now how is all of that for a shootout at the OK Corral?

Chrome is not an OS even though Google claims it is. Chrome is just a user interface stuck on top of a Linux OS.

Well....I say it is worth a look...Google Maps works well.

On this Ubuntu it got installed in the Internet applications ...but I just moved it onto the desktop.

I need to put some serious time into looking at it.

By solid it take it you mean "pretty good" instead of solid as in well-manufactured, as opposed to the HTC EVO 4Gs that are falling apart?
