I'm a fresh baked Galaxy Tab user. So far I've used it for browsing the intertubes and reading ebooks, and I must say it does both pretty well. However, I'd agree that some more screen estate wouldn't hurt, especially for PDF files that don't play well with text reflow (pretty much every book with formatted source code samples).

+1 for Software Engineering Radio, I listen to it on a regular basis and like it a lot.

For other software-related podcasts, I recommend FLOSS Weekly (http://twit.tv/FLOSS). They cover interesting open source projects and interview their creators, as well as other influential people of the open source world.

W3C used to recommend the title to be less than 64 characters in length: http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html.

Don't try doing any real work with it at first. I made that mistake a couple times, only to learn that trying to get anything done using a tool I don't know (no matter how great and useful it is) can only lead to frustration. Give yourself a day or two to just play with it and get comfortable, go through the built-in tutorial, write a few small Hello World-like programs, etc.

This piece is quite charming: "If arithmetic overflow is a fatal error, some fascist pig with a read-only mind is trying to enforce machine independence." (Item 154)

There's also MultipleIEs (http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) -- I have it installed on a VirtualBox to run IE6 beside IE8. I mostly use it to test jQuery/JavaScript code and it suffices.
