All of this info is making me want to dump this thing before everyone else catches wind.

Oh yeah that's right the MAC address would cause IP conflict if I got two of them bummer. I'll have to put that idea off then. Darn it!

I just saw on XDA that the new GT78 use softmac and have unique mac addresses

You can reset it device buy: Delete accounts.db from your GT, reboot so all your accounts will be deleted. The go into applications and delete all these apps you had installed. That's it! If you wan tot take yours back to Kmart. Frankly the unit works. I was going to get another one but MaC address issue is the lock key. I got another VIA Flytouch from China, and I got to find out why those are still coming here?. Crazy.

We'll see how this shakes out...there are 2 manuf's that are shipping those styles of 7" tabs, as well as the WITS A81-E/Nationide Midnite's.The thing about these though is that they're up against a different target....they don't have the featureset nor the Android Market truly supported immediately, and so must compete solely on price...and right now...that price is < 200.The RS-2 right at the cusp, and so are the MidNite's. I suspect as more of these come out, the prices will drop like hot rocks.
