Pfft, Android is totally lamestream. I use a Touchpad. It runs WebOS; you’ve probably never heard of it before.

inb4 uberhipster with a Newton.

Might be compatible with Ice Cream Sandwich, but I’d suggest you get comfortable with Froyo as Samsung doesn’t have a great track record with updating their phones in a prompt manner.

23

Looks like it is a 1GHz single core…

I’m fairly positive that that this is EXACTLY a phone without a phone. An android version of the ipod touch.

Better than an touch, in my opinion, but then I have the first version of this phoneless phone… only with the phone.

25

This is not that phone, this is the 5" media player/tablet hybrid thingy…

26

It has a GPS chip but you’ll need an active Internet connection to download maps using Google Maps, Labs in Google Maps allows you to precache a route is you are on WiFi at the time.

27

I have a nokia. nobody uses them any more. I’m uberretro hipstamatic.

28

I come from an Apple free household and missed out on the TouchPad deals, so this could be a ‘somewhere in the middle’ thing for me.

29

I have a Samsung Galaxy S that I got from T-Mobile. It has all the features but no flash and it is a phone. How come this is different than Woot’s current offering?

According to the specs found here it does have gps, as well as front and rear facing cameras.

Way better than the iTouch. Supports awesome formats, bigger screen, doesn’t require iTunes to put music on it. The list goes on.

32

weird. i didn’t even know they made Android iPod touches.

seems desirable.

33

CyanogenMod does not currently have an official release for this model. Do not attempt to install the Galaxy S phone ROM on it, you may end up with a brick.

34

This is NOT a phone people… It is basically a Samsung Galaxy S with the phone portion removed, and only WiFi is available. No GSM / 3G / CDMA connectivity.

Damn, I think I have to buy this thing. Had a Touch, thought it was too small. Had a 10" tablet, thought it was too big. This one might be the Goldilocks for me. I had no idea a 5 incher existed.

How are the apps vs Apple?
