As you can see - mostly want it for playing videos and browsing the internet. Video support was a big thing for me when I preordered. I was thinking of buying an Archos tablet, or something similar to play videos on, but the support for video formats isn't terribly brilliant, so Pandora's support for all that wins hands down. Having Firefox running on it too is a big thing. Playing games is of course another reason to get one, and I will certainly enjoy the plethora of emulators that are out there, as well as the awesome homebrew that's being developed.

Glad to help a fellow student out!

I'm not certain about the "media player" one – could be any of 0 video/0 audio, 1 video/0 audio and 1 video/1 audio. I have an iPod touch and I have no idea whether the Pandora will be able to replace it in the multimedia department. Still, I'll stay on the cautious side and assume I won't be using it for MP3s much.

Why a point system and not a system that rates varrying degrees of how you'll use the system? It's not like I"ll never watch video on it, I just wanted more points for internet. =P
