I've tried ShadowGun and GTA3 on the Sony Tablet and they both work with the PS3 joypad

Satr Chart is a great addition to Google Star Map:

No, I’ve left it with webOS for the time being. I quite like it with that and it’s only every used as a living room browser by us at home so there is not much need to do it. I will probably put it on when they’ve ironed out the bugs but my 10.1 will be first to get it. I’m keeping an eye on progress in the Touchpad Android thread. What about you?

Yes, it's on mine and I'm amazed by how good it is. It's more or less as fluid as the Nexus!

There should be a 100% stable release in a build or two. Also, by default it installs as dual-boot with WebOS, so you can easily switch between the two.

I've just remembered that I have a 1.5 GHz processor on mine s it should absolutely fly. I’ll wait for a few more builds.

Just discovered there's now Chrome for Android. It become my favourite browser in just 10 minutes use!

BTW, is it just me or does everyone else think that editing Google docs in the Drive app is really crap? Spreadsheets especially is rubbish. I have lots of them created in google docs on a PC that I can't do anything with in the drive app. Really think Google have cocked it right up!
