First, the title should read something like "Like Alot/Kind of Indifferent Relationship with the K1" instead of "Love/Hate".
I don't think I could "Love" any device besides my good ole Droid X. And there is definitely no reason to hate any Android tablet running a Tegra 2 processor with 1GB of RAM.
But overall, the machine is a fun toy but I wonder why people would spend upwards $800 for a tablet.
After a few weeks with the K1, I'm confident that I will not return the device. But, it has a few quirks that annoy me (mainly the Market app). I've installed a newer version but it still omits the Movies option. And the device is a little heavy and gets annoying to hold after a long period. But, it does everything that it should do without any hiccups. Email, web, minor gaming, youtube, netflix, reading, etc all work smoothly.
So for the price, the K1 is a keeper. If I spent $500 or more for the device, I would probably return it. But for $280, I don't think I have the right to complain about minor issues, which probably plague any tablet.
