I have had Fios Internet and TV for a little while now. It is amazingly fast, and the picture quality of the HD broadcasts are noticeably better than commcast. The internet really opens up. Its not perfect, as BlueOrder pointed out, the DVR needs an update, and there is no HD on demand.
The installation is a little messy as well, as they have to bury a new cable, and install a battery backup (for the phone) inside your house.
Lifetime Movies is a new stretch-0-vision upcoverting channel. It shouldn't be considered HD. For HD movies, stick with HDnet
Actually, Verizon only has to bury the cable if your existing cable is buried. Most new homes are built that way. Fortunately, my house was built in the 1950s and has the telephone pole at the end of my backyard. The tech ran the fibre cable right from the pole to the house. When I said that I thought they'd have to dig up the yard, he said that they way that houses currently get their copper connection is how they get their fibre connection.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
