looks like tomorrow is its release date so we should be getting some real user impressions (mostly in German) soon...Hopefully it will get Meego out of the gate with a bang.

Somewhere over the Atlantic in Germany, the wetab has started shipping. This starts nothing or perhaps something really big.

There was a convo going on n WeTab on Facebook (in German).
Only one comment in English summarized it and its not very positive.

Damm, is bought via amazon a wetab. But the product isn't ready... There are too many things that won't work in the beginning: android store, multi-touch,a lack of touch-applications,... Hmmm. When will this all work fine, and more important: will it ever work fine?! For a company is it simple: they give a promise, but we don't have any guarantee that the software will ever come :-(
Don't know if its a troll or not.

Why would the Android store work with a non-android device or am I missing the point here? Thought this was MeeGo device?

this sums up everything i read about the product during the last weeks. it's bound to fail. (which is a pity because a lot of people will think it's kind of a meego flagship.)

my personal opinion is that the company behind the wetab never intended to ship a stable product. when you see those people on video, it makes you wonder......

while browsing webpages and tiled apps on the large capacitive screen, using one of the most intuitive, practical touchscreen interfaces we've ever had the pleasure to try

that tells a lot about engadget. "quality journalism" as always. ;)

At least it is positive exposure on an OS that is derived from an OS we really like on a site that could influence folks that otherwise wouldn't know about MeeGo.

multi touch was not intended for wetab. consumers should not have expected this. webtab is not a nokia tablet rather an intel one. it will also run the android app market and thus will not be a competitor which it would have been if nokia made the tablet.

confusing? hell yes.

I think he thought it was an Android device hence his confusion.

It apparently includes Android running as a VM within MeeGo.
