I like the idea/price point of the aPad but I am concerned about it running
Android 1.5 as it was
very poor when I had it on my G1, had quite a few issues with power usage
(v.thirsty fixed in 1.6)
and various other niggles.
That could be useful to know. I read a review of the aPad in Full
Circle Magazine [1], but it didn't mention battery life. There are
other, similar, Android-based tablets with various screen sizes (there
seem to be a lot with 7" screens) and different versions of Android,
so you should be able to get one with Android 1.6 at least, if not 2.x
