It is indeed. I wanted a tablet (cuz it was a cool gadget) but couldn't justify it since I sit in front of a computer all day and have a laptop at home. However, Best Buy had a great pre-black friday sale and I snagged that Asus for $249. That I could swing for just a gadget! Now I'm addicted to all the cool apps and what not that they have available. It has a GPS in it so I can use all the navigation apps (ones that don't require a constant internet connection) like Sygic and Navionics. Can't wait to try out the Navionics app on the Chesapeake.

slick. Didn't know they were making tabs now. I've been using a Eee 900 from the first day they were available in the US. Love it.

Doom? Duke Nukem 3D???? How old is that information? The first computer games I got when I got my first computer in 1995 were Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. I still have the Duke Nukem CD.
