Detailed review
when i bought this i thought i could use it for most of the things i would use a laptop for. turns out the keyboard is considerably smaller than a normal one, and the right shift key is really hard to press. also, android 4.0 is really buggy. lots of glitches, i would recommend staying on honeycomb until they fix this. i'm waiting for windows 8 to come out to find out how to hack this to run win8, like some of the acer iconica tablets can do, because the functionality is seriously limited. overall i guess this is a pretty decent tablet with a nice processer and a nice design, one of the best android tablets if you can afford it. :)

Ereader - You have got to be kidding.... Only "So so" for an ereader? Its a damn good ereader. I use it every night.
Battery Life - I get 9-10 hours
Storage Capacity - Other than an SD card slot (which Ipads do not have,) what more would you want?
Design - My unit is not "top heavy" I use it at my desk all day and use it has a tablet 1/2 the night.
Durability - I havent dropped it or anything, but I havent found anything abnormally "fragile" about the keyboard.

About the e-reader -- Personally, i find that there aren't enough pixels and the text appears jagged, and it hurts my eyes

battery -- Mine used to last for a while, but when i sleep it and leave it on overnight it drains completely. *shrug*

storage -- mine is 32gb, fine for me, mostly because i use dropbox/google drive. The iPad is better in this area because of it's integration with iCloud

design -- don't you think the keyboard is a bit small? and for me its a little top heavy...

durability -- never dropped mine, but my mom damaged the port when she tried to connect the kb to the tablet, now it's dented :(
