This device has caught my attention. What do you think of it? Personally I think it's a good alternative from the android camp, especially if the price won't be crazy like the Archoses.

I'll buy a tablet that has a cortex a9 dualcore 2ghz with 1gb ram.

It would be interesting to see if current a9 chips clocked at 1ghz can scale to 2ghz, like the a8 in the n900 doubling in speed when overclocked.

why do you need an arm that quick??? Do you hate batteries?

That does look awesome, and makes me worry that my SmartQ V7 I have on order won't last long until replacement!

The price point I'll believe when I see it though, phones of that spec and competitor's tablets with that spec have been rumoured to cost more...

hmm, price is ok, tho i am unsure if i trust expansys after they sold me a US 770.

with 2.1 that thing may actually get marketplace.

I don't know. I don't think the price is right. For that price, I'll want a full OS.

no worse then the n800 sold for, iirc.

and what makes a os "full" these days?

So... it's arriving July 2nd, and the price is still 300 pounds.

Hm.

Hmmmm.

Could be a great on-the-go surfing tablet, its a shame the resolution wasn't higher(1024x600 or something like that).

bxbomber | # 10 | 2010-06-15, 22:54 | Report

that looks real nice, if the price was cheap i'd buy that in a heartbeat as a tablet.

wifi only and i'd pick that up over a dell streak.
