Which Windows 7 Tablet? HP Slate or Asus EEE Slate

-
I am planning to buy a new tablet and I have seen HP Slate but lack of CPU power is a big problem for me. Therefore, I started to wait for the CES 2011 since 2011 will be the year of tablets right?

Here are links if you want to see the specifications by yourself;
For HP Slate: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13658_na/13658_na.html
For Asus EEE Slate: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Slate-EP121-1A011M-12-1-Inch-Tablet/dp/B004HKIIF8

Anyway as far as I see Asus EEE Slate seems the best solution for me, why?

- Costs $200 more from HP Slate but has very powerful CPU in which I can even write my code.
- It comes with a Bluetooth keyboard in the box.
- Has two USB ports.
- 12.1'' screen in which you can see many things with 1280x800 resolution.
- 32 GB of storage is enough for me although 64GB version is available for $100.

Here are the cons for me;

- Does not have a 3G or 4G sim card slot.
- It is heavier(~2.5pounds) than HP Slate(~1.5pounds)
- 3 hours of battery life is not very promising(it is 5hrs in HP Slate) but I can buy an extra battery.

As a result I am waiting for the end of CES whether there will be another great tablet(which includes 3G/4G) announcement if not Asus EEE Slate seems good for me now.

Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser. The steps that I follow to accomplish my goal are provided below; For Android Emulator; 1. From the terminal invoke the adb command with remount option otherwise you will get "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system". adb remount 2. In the terminal pull the default hosts file from /system/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts which is the symlink of the file not only for backup purpose but also to get the file to modify. adb pull /system/etc/hosts /home/player/hostBackup/ 3. Get a copy of the the hosts file in your computer and modify it according to your needs. 4. Now we can push the file directly to the emulator. adb push /home/player/hostBack...
