Recharged and ready to continue evaluation

I plugged this baby in last night just before bed time because I had run the battery down after playing with it non-stop for almost four hours.  I didn't check how long it took to charge because I was sleeping but when I unplugged it this morning the power indicator showed 100%.

I have attempted to activate the free Verizon 3G wireless connection four times but have received an error message every time.  The connection status shows that I was connected to Verizon but the activation was only "partially complete."  So, I reported that to Google as an issue.

I just weighed this unit on the postal scale and with the battery it weighs 3 lbs 10.5 ounces.  That's pretty good.   The screen is almost identical to the size of my MacBook.  The keyboard is very close to the feel and use of my MacBook as well.  The track pad is a little weird to get use to because there is no delineation between the area that you use for scrolling and the place for clicking.  It is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the track pad and I have set my very low in order to allow simply taps instead of actually needing to click the lower portion of the track pad.  For right clicks you have to hold down the Alt key and tap.  There is no Delete button but there is a back space button and if you hold the Alt key and hit the back space button it will work just like a Delete button.  This is also the same way my MacBook works so I am not surprised and find this "normal."
