Curiously, I received my first Android tablet a week ago, the Notion Ink Adam (but it wasn't a free gift: I ordered it). I haven't previously used Android. This tablet runs a customised froyo, not honeycomb, and has the traditional four buttons. I am happy to have those buttons, because the touchscreen occasionally goes dysfunctional: it seems to be because of ill-behaved apps (after I removed Firefox it behaves much better). In fact, after your description of honeycomb, I doubt I'll update even if Notion Ink offers it. I'll hold out for some form of linux (there is already an early port of Ubuntu).

(My review of the Adam is here, in case anyone is interested in this device.)
