1. 10" 1024X600 capacitive display
2. Froyo with Flash 10.1
3. 1ghz 3640 arm 8
4. 16gb built-in
5. microsd for more space
6. USB with FULL host function (reads thumb drives, powers external USB drives and game controllers work- if needed)
7. Full market for previous Archos Android device was easy to mod, so expected same for this line too.
8. At least $500 less than the Tab (total cost).

I already have an Android phone with "decent" size display (Incredible), so this will do great for book, comic and web browsing. Also, the game emulators will play better with a controller :) And I can USB tether using the Incredible.

Frankly, main issue is this device is $500 LESS than the Tab and the 8gb 7" version is $550 less (but has 800X480) display. Heck, I could buy the 10" and 7" together and still save over $300 to one Tab.

Why pay almost $1,000 for a device that will be old hat within a year anyways?

I just told my GF about the Tab, and showed her the commercial. Her jaw dropped open and she said that she was sold. I was telling her about media sharing via DLNA, augmented reality via Layar, Google speech-to-text, the camera, video calling, web surfing, the battery life, etc. She was really excited and completely taken aback! She liked that it could fit in her purse, but wished it had a wrist-strap as she was afraid she would drop it. :D

She's not a techie, so perhaps this is a sign that a device like this really resonates with casual users.

Unfortunately the Tab isn't really in the shop yet, it's on the flyer only by now. I think I'll buy it, wife is interested but she wants to see it live before, if it's fashionable enough :wink:
