Was playing with the tablet and decided to take some screen shots of the best looking, and most useful (to me) apps.
The best looking VLC remote control application for Android. This allows you to control a computer running VLC with it’s http interface enabled. Available on the Market, by Peter Baldwin.
The google music app allows you to store 20,000 songs on the google servers and stream them anytime, as much as you want for free.Available on the Market, by Google.
Although the Android app Plex is not free, the server component is, and is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. Plex allows you to host your own ‘Netflix’ type service from your own media files on your network.
PocketCloud by Wyse Technology, gives you access to Windows RDP Servers, VNC Servers and VMWare View servers from your tablet. Great for admins. Non-Pro is free but limits amount of saved connections.
The Droid MPD Client HD allows you to control your MPD (music player daemon) over the network. I just wish the author would fix the huge white annoying background for your songs list to something that resembles the VLC app above. When that happens, I will gladly purchase the pro version.

Just received an email from newegg.
It’s with regret that we are contacting you today to inform you that the pre-order you placed for the ASUS Transformer Prime Tablet will not be fulfilled on the date initially estimated. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Newegg will receive limited inventory for this tablet.
Within the next 2 business weeks, we will have confirmation of inventory and whether or not we will be able to fulfill your pre-order. Pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first come first serve basis beginning with the earliest pre-order placed. If sufficient inventory is received, your pre-order will convert into an actual sales order and begin the normal order process. In the unlikely event we cannot obtain sufficient inventory, you will receive a Back Order Notification email and your pre-order will be voided.
We understand this may cause some inconvenience. If you are no longer interested in this product, you may void your pre-order online through your account. If you are willing to wait, there is no further action necessary on your part. In that case, once inventory is received we will transfer your pre-order into a sales order, charge your chosen form of payment, and ship your product once inventory is received.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact Newegg Customer Support at (800) 390-1119 or through the internet using our Live Chat option, or Customer Support Email.
Sincerely,
Newegg.com
I placed my pre-order on November 28, 2011. Lets see if we actually get these. It’s nice of them to finally send an email to those who pre-ordered this item, after many people have been emailing them asking for any information on shipments and being kept in the dark.
January 3, 2012 Update:
I have cancelled my pre-order with Newegg and ordered from Office Depot. Three day delivery, in stock. Will be here Thursday, January 5th.

You will need a Google voice account to do this. You can get one for free by having a normal Google account, and visiting the Google Voice page.
The top most portion of this page: http://pbxinaflash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10825 will help you setup the Google Voice portion on the Google side. Once you see the screen shots on that page, you can then use this configuration, or read up if you have their software to continue.
Just my working configuration files for using a google voice number on your asterisk server.
