hmm.. pretty cheap for the viewsonic eh.. last time I searches.. promotion price was USD299 now.. i think around USD349. But not sure. haha..

Its just pain to see tegra 2 not being fully utilized..

There must be a way to make those run on honeycomb. I cant stand it when I ran Gingerbread on my old lappy. So smooth but no touch screen of course.

THe new toshiba tablet has no announced Specs yet but most probably come with Tegra as well. but no confirmed specifications yet thou.. only pictures and ads..

well.. Its the bad thing about android devices.. They tend to ignore the older generation devices which their hardwares are still capable of delivering performance.

Newer android OS are focused on latest productions to boost sales so people would buy the latest devices just for the sake of the latest OS..

Customs roms can run easily on Android phones because most of them have similar hardware like Qualcomm chips or ARM chips.. and their drivers can be easily extracted from the latest phones and be ported into other phones..

When time comes, I guess when more Tablets with Tegra 2 are released, they would probably stand a chance!

Anyone?
No suitable for me if its not capable of doing that

is these tablet is capable to tasking like netbook?

word processing, Powerpoint etc?

Well.. if you projector has HDMI port then its possible i guess or probably a converter?

Added on April 5, 2011, 11:49 pmMultitasking or normal tasking?

OpenOffice is supported by android.

or some models have ubuntu ported on it too.

Many thanks for the reply
Most of the old projectors doesn't have HDMI I think
What converter are you referring to? Search the web and have totally no idea on what it is haha
Sorry for noobishness ~

HDMI-DVI converter...

i think i ve even tried HDMI-DVI then DVI-VGA put together, it still works...

Sigh, Honeycomb tablets still not out yet, no?

Anyone seen them in action?

I can imagine that combination!

Eh? What's the difference between DVI and VGA? Google search they looked the same
Anyway, this converters will really come in handy
MIght consider a tablet after all ~

VGA = analogue

DVI = digital

HDMI = DVI + audio

Thanks for the explanation
Laptops often come with VGA and HDMI ports right?
Where do we usually find DVI?

desktop GPUs... high end ones usually DisplayPort + HDMI... mainstream ones are usually DVI + HDMI... low end probably HDMI + DVI + VGA...

LOL, I'm getting more and more confused, what's displayport?
And how come the more low-end the GPUs are, the more varieties of ports they have?
Again, sorry if the question sounds too silly, noob here hehe~

I feel like getting g-Tablet now (my colleague might be going for biz trip soon)...
Will the G Tab Run on Honeycomb?

HDMI was designed for TVs and DVD players, not computers... it was adopted in GPUs since it's the trend... downside of HDMI is that for every port created, a royalty will need to be paid (US$0.04/port, or US$10k/yr for high volume production)...

DisplayPort, on the other hand, is free, and thus was quickly adopted by computer hardware makers... and also, u can link up multiple monitors with DisplayPort (eg GPU -> Monitor A, Monitor A -> Monitor B, Monitor B -> Monitor C... instead of GPU -> Monitor A, GPU -> Monitor B, GPU -> Monitor C)

basically it's compatible with HDMI, but will require converters as well when converting to DVI and VGA...

the reason with the port varieties is that usually, when u can afford better hardware, u ve newer hardware as well... imagine u ve a GTX 560/HD6970, but using a 15" 1024x768 VGA monitor, that doesn't sound logical at all right? u'll be using a 23" Full HD monitor with DP/HDMI instead...

the lower end cards ve more varieties so as to accommodate those upgrading from older hardware... 17"/19" 1280x1024 VGA monitors are still pretty prevalent in business, and they dun need state of the art GPU...
