Android Tablets...which will rise to the top?

The Motorola Xoom, the LG G-Slate, the Toshiba Tablet, and now the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. All have similar specs and all will run Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).

So which one is the one to get? As far as I know, the Xoom and the Galaxy are both "pure" Google tablets (meaning no manufacturer installed UI skins like "Motoblur" or "Touchwiz"). That's a major plus since that would likely mean faster updates to Android. Beyond that, it almost seems like it's a style preference.

Still waiting on more tablet announcements to come (looking at you, HTC) but it sure looks like this will be the year of the "non-fruity" tablet. Guess I need to start saving :-)

But now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I'm not so sure about my next weigh in. We shall see on Tuesday!

Last week I lost 1.6 pounds (yay!).

But this week I gained 0.8 (boo!).

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Forty One

Up 1.2. Tough week.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Forty

Dang, up 1.2. Trying to reach a total of 50 pounds lost is proving to be a bit more difficult than I thought. About 3 pounds away from that goal. And Halloween certainly won't help ;-)

Tracks and Horizons: 26 Countries on a Motorcycle

From 1964 to 1966, Carlos Caggiani travelled to 26 countries on a 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle with hardly a penny to his name. At 24 years of age, he embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

He spent time with everyone from poor natives in the Andes mountains, to rich families in the United States. He crossed rivers without bridges, suffered famine, intense heat and cold, guided his motorcycle through rain and snow storms, rode on dirt and cobblestone roads, was chased by the FBI, was shot at in Bolivia during a revolutionary war, and had a serious accident due to a mechanical failure in Panama that left him hospitalized for 17 days.

The experiences in this book demonstrate a human being's tenacity and triumph in the face of adversity, and shows that anything is possible. There is always something more just beyond the horizon...and as the horizon expands, our limits disappear.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Seven

Up 1.2 after the BBQ. I now have a new incentive...reach a total of 50 pounds lost by Thanksgiving. I'm about 5 pounds away from reaching that milestone so I need to just do it. Five pounds in nine weeks should be easy, right?

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Six

Woo hoo! Down 2.4 pounds this week! Probably because I've been fighting a cold and my apetite has been slightly lower than normal. But still, I'll take it :-)

Of course Friday is our company picnic...Hawaiian BBQ. Gulp.

Jenny Craig: Year 2 - Week Thirty Five

Up 0.6 pounds last week. But I go in tonight for this week's weigh in and I think i did ok. We'll see!
