It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Shame they're working on Gingerbread and not Honeycomb (Android for tablets).
It's worth keeping an eye on here:

Will do.
Depends how much they cost to make tbh! I would imagine it would only be a couple of quid out of 3mm ply. Plastic would be more!
I've seen some called the iBend (yeah, really). They're literally 0.5mm plastic that stores flat. Would probably cost pennies to make something similar.
Pics of the poundstretcher bits are on the way, soon as my usb port stops playing silly bugger.
Edit - Here we go, just a phone pic but good enough id imagine.
I cut a hole in the top, for the usb port of course.
Anyway both are a quid each.
They do a black/grey cover as well.

Honeycomb is not open yet, is it? I think Gingerbread is all they have to work on?
Ugh I can't get iPlayer to work nor TVCatchUp!
I've done all the updates / tweaks / preware enhancements but they won't work!
Any suggestions?
Did you install the ad blocker?
Gah I hadn't no, just installed it.
I can play iPlayer but jitter at times but tvcatchup's normal site plays badly, iPad part doesn't play?

Uninstall the ad blocker now, that was his point - it can affect some flash sites like 4od.

Thing is though, it actually helped me play iPlayer, and it gets TVCatchup to load, albeit poorly.
:/
1080p flash? The highish bit rate flash from iPlayer? With only the cpu to decode it in 10.3?
What do you think...
(The touchpad has no HDMI output so 1080p is utterly pointless anyway?)
iPlayer HD is actually only 720p.
The touchpad does seem very close to decoding it fine. The stream is after all only 3200kbps and the touchpad (and android tablets) can do higher bitrate 1080p video on youtube fine.
iPlayer SD is 832*468 which doesn't utilise the 1024*576, the touchpad can show, completely.

not having much luck on finding an official case, has anyone bought one of these?

Looks like it covers the bezel and would make gestures awkward.

As above. I'd avoid anything that covers the screen boarders. Could be a little irritating with the swipe gestures.

had not really thought of that, as i don't use the card button much and just swipe up from the bezel, having said that, any recommendations on another case?
