Did you go to our gdgt live in Austin event earlier this week? If so, what did you find cool and not so cool?
Outside the show, while waiting in line, I was able to play with the Xperia Play briefly and I have to say that the phone feels very solid in my hands despite the fact that it's still the beta hardware. The screen is nice also since I was able to see the screen clearly outside.
Inside the event I actually spent a lot of time with the Blackberry Playbook. I love how it handles multitasking very very well. I was playing a game, downloading music, and using the camera all at the same time! The device itself felt solid and I love how everything in the UI is so intuitive. Unfortunately, I'm not a BB user so I don't really see myself getting one of these in the future.
I played with the Xoom also briefly and I though the UI is beautiful but the device itself is just a wee bit heavy for me.
One of the things that impressed me the most though was the Dell Venue Pro, the keyboard was very very nice and I love how the phone felt in your hands. WP7 is also very fast. It almost made me want to switch to WP7 haha.
Last thing that I remember pretty well is PopDrive. I think it's a pretty big ripoff since all it does is copy files from one HDD to another and, if I remember it right, it'll cost $250 at the cheapest. It's a nice concept but way too expensive especially when CloudStor is much cheaper and enables cloud storage.
