I picked up an Acer Iconia A500 Android tablet that runs honeycomb (3.0) on Thursday and after using it for a few days, I'm going to return it.  Here are my reasons why:

• It's large, heavy and unwieldy.  There is almost no good position to hold the thing in that is comfortable to use.  Even flat on a table is not the greatest position to use it.  In my lap is not good and on my 'knee' (like you see in the ads) doesn't' really work well either.
• It's $450.
• The apps on it are really nice, but not nice enough to justify the expense and form-factor.
• I was hoping that I could write an app for it, but after looking into the Android SDK, the C/C++ NDK (the standard SDK is java-only) only has access to OpenGL, and no fancy/schmancy GUI stuff, so seems kind of limited, plus I don't see myself having enough free-time to do any development in the near future.
• The kids fight over using it to play games and watch movies.  I doubt that I'd actually get to use it very much.

Don't get me wrong, I think that the tablet concept and market is very good.  The tablet plays movies very well, Android is really coming into it's own now.  Battery life on the tablet is 10 hours of heavy use.  The technology is good, I just don't think that personally, I have a need/use for a tablet at this time.
