Oooh looks nice I'll stick it on my new galaxy tab 7in android and check it out
Before you ask no it doesnt replace my iPhone or iPad I bought it for out and about and strapping on my flight deck.
Finding the android nice but they gotta go long long way to match apples slickness and far more importantly some decent apps as the marketplace sucks with lack of quantity and quality but time will tell and competition is always good for the consumer
BTW iPad 2 ordered for 25th of this month not much different but meh what's an apple fan boy to do!
He who dies with the most gadgets wins so it's a toss up between me and gary lol

Oh forgot to mention a few apps I've tried so far
MM tracker - nice
View ranger GPS - nice
Backcountry Navigator - inc free OS maps. needs work and be able to access the commercial MM os50, os25 and CAA charts. But my fav so far
Gaia GPS - nice
Androflight - hangliding paragliding app saves in ICG but lacking lots and needs work. However it's on ver 1 so early days
British Hills - great for Hill weather forecasts and descriptions for walkers with over 1300 listed hills. Really nice app A+
I still find memory map to be best on iPad/iPhone and I'm told it will be released this year on Android
