Overal though all tablets are either single core or tegra 2..so there isnt much choice in specs...until of course samsung releases that Exynoss tablet..but thats already next gen of tablets..and we probably should be seeing quad-core tablets soon too.. Quote:

Re: WTB: 10" Tablet, NO iPADs!
Hello there Gten and OMJ.
I have both viewsonic and a tp so I will give you pros and cons on both. Viewsonic is fun little machine when it works. Company denies it's existence and won't help devs in any way and won't offer any support. Won't release any drivers even though they will say after market roms wil enhance the performance of the tablet. It comes broken straight outside the box actually. LCD is ok but has a horrible viewing angle. Easily over clock-able and there are alot of roms out for it to tickle your fancy. (although it has diminished quite a bit last couple of months) After trying everything, I just run froyo for both software & hardware acceleration. (OCed to 1.5ghz) Hard time playing big videos btw. Touchpad 1.2 ghz dual core is under-clocked for battery consumption. (so i heard..) I have mine oced at 1.5 ghz and it's noticeably faster without much difference to the battery. All the basic things that it's supposed to, it does very well. It's bit heavy but it's packed with features. I'm a big fan of android OS and was waiting for it to come to TP but at this moment, I don't really care. Web OS is surprisingly nice. If any questions, let me know. |

Re: WTB: 10" Tablet, NO iPADs!
using this comparison, I'm looking at all 10" tabs.....question is, having the same cpu, what sets them apart?
Tablet comparison | Tablet pc comparison 2011 maybe I'll work some OT to justify spending more to get something decent

Re: WTB: 10" Tablet, NO iPADs!
I have played around with acer and it's really nice.
Screen was crisp and was on toe to toe with the xoom. Basically same spec but with little more perk here and there. If you can find it cheap, it would be the way to go since it's native honeycomb and dual core cpu. Display is nice too. |

Difference is in screen resolution, available accessories, LCD quality, support..otherwise they are same thing...next gen tablets will be more unique.. oh, Galaxy Tab 10.1 has touchwiz for international users for those into custom ui's on top of honeycomb... How much time do you have to decide? I hear Amazon is gonna release a tablet and my guess it will be priced comeptively.. |

Re: WTB: 10" Tablet, NO iPADs!
I recently got the Acer and I absolutely love it. The standard USB port is a deal-braker for me. I can use external hard drives, keyboards, you name it!
The release of the Kindle tablet will also create a more competitive market among existing and future tablets. I personally believe fair price for any tablet should be between $200 and $300, depending on features, quality, etc. I was able to get in on a recent super deal (Amazon) and paid $210. I believe that price point is reasonable for the product, I can see it becoming a frequent discount price in the near future. Bottom line: I think your patience will be rewarded
