keep on waiting for a 7"inch honeycomb, but may be I simply wait for Window 8. From what I see in Window Phone 7, the interface is very-very nice.
Can the W500 be upgraded to win8 in the future? |

I think Asus is working hard to support issues for its transformer. Thumbs up to Asus tablet team.

Toshiba Thrive : more connected than most of the others: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Toshiba-Thriv...rs.56421.0.html
QUOTE The Thrive has a 10.1 inch 1280 x 800 pixel display panel and a 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. This is pretty standard but there are a few tricks up Toshiba’s sleeve – the tablet comes with full sized USB port, full sized HDMI port, and full sized SD card slot. Most of the tablets today do not have USB 2.0 ports, so it becomes virtually impossible to access data stored on an external drive – unless you buy a special conversion cable. Apart from that, the Thrive comes with replaceable back covers and battery. You can choose among a variety of color covers to give the tablet a distinct look. Also no other Honeycomb tablet we know comes with a user replaceable battery. The good thing about having one is that you can simply buy a new battery without having to go to the service station. Keeping an extra battery will act as a backup power source as well. This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jun 23 2011, 05:47 PM |

the fastest Android tablet huh?
Archos introduced it's latest tablets, the 80 G9 and 101 G9... 8" 1024x600/10.1" 1280x800 Android 3.1 Honeycomb 1.5 GHz dual-core CORTEX A9 OMAP4 16 GB of internal memory, or a 250 GB Seagate HDD 720p front-facing camera HDMI output Kick-stand US$279/US$399 release: September 2011 no info on RAM, but a logical guess is 512MB or 1GB... there is also an optional G9 3G stick that cost US$49... http://androidandme.com/2011/06/news/archo...and-the-101-g9/ the hardware is hard to resist, TI OMAP4 is one of the best ARM CPU in the market... however Honeycomb, even with 3.2 update, supports only Tegra 2 and Snapdragon, so how is Archos going to have it's tab running Honeycomb? |
