The list comes a bit after Christmas, but it appears that many of the vendors shipping Android tablets deserve nothing but coal in their stockings.

The software vendor has a barebones, almost terse, blogpost about the 3.0 release. Download the 3.0 version from the App Store to an iOS 4.0 device and you can place video calls to other iOS 4 devices and to Skype-equipped PCs and Macs.
