I wish openSUSE shipped with DKMS. It's not something I use regularly, but it's annoying to need it and not have it.

Going to buy an iPad this month. After spending some time with the Xoom, I think Android has a long way to go before it's competitive.

Now that Intel owns McAfee, I hope they put an end to the atrocious practice of foisting McAfee crapware on consumers in Flash/Java updates

The Motorola Xoom's LTE support and microSD card slot don't work at launch, but the device has a built-in barometer for weather prediction.

I like the UI of the e-mail client in Honeycomb, but Google still hasn't fixed the serious problems with their IMAP implementation. :-(

I wish that Gwibber users would stop demanding support services that don't have APIs. I need APIs, I can't just wave a freaking magic wand.

Any Android application developers working on tablet-friendly interfaces? I'd love to feature some good apps in my Ars review of the Xoom.

Downloading Intel's MeeGo tablet UX. Pretty cool that they have licensed Swype and ship it as part of the environment.

@segphault Are you able to run it on anything other than the suggested tablet hardware? (WeTab, ExoPC, Lenovo netbook)
