QUOTE(Ricky Ling @ Apr 25 2011, 03:06 PM) I am afraid iPad2 will crash all the parties as Malaysia will get official iPad2 this Saturday lah, now still waiting for official price. Below is my guess: problem is, Asus, Acer and Samsung are all undercutting iPad2 by US$30-$100 respectively...1. Wifi 16GB - RM1,499 2. Wifi 32GB - RM1,799 3. Wifi 64GB - RM2,099 4. Wifi + 3G 16GB - RM1,899 5. Wifi + 3G 32GB - RM2,199 6. Wifi + 3G 64GB - RM2,499 take for eg iPad2 16GB WiFI US$499, Transformer 16GB US$399, Galaxy Tab 8.9 16GB US$469 iPad2 32GB WiFi US$599, Iconia A500 32GB US$449, Transformer 32GB US$499, Galaxy Tab 8.9 32GB US$569 |

well, as laptopmag has pointed out, with Transformer at such price, any tab that's more costly than it will need to justify the extra cost...
like the case of iPad2, it's US$100/rm300 more expensive, so wat's with the extra money? |

QUOTE(baretta @ Apr 25 2011, 07:22 PM) Different company diff pricing policy. Why I bought xoom? Bcoz cheaper than singapore. Warranty? I dunno whether xoom is international warranty like I pad. so far only Galaxy Tab, Flyer, Iconia and Thinkpad are using custom UI...why I don't want to wait Asus? Bcoz I don't like overlay UI. the rest re all vanilla Android... and no, i doubt u can ve int'l warranty, as per standard policy of a phone maker...

QUOTE(AlexLai @ Apr 25 2011, 08:56 PM) Both camera's are VGA quality! that's y there are others like Samsung Exynos and TI OMAP 4 series with PowerVR, and Qualcomm Snapdragon with Adreno as well... But even if the resolution is in play, the A5 chips are more powerful in terms of graphical power. also dun forget Tegra 2 is a very old architecture (in terms of computer hardware), >1 yr since first production... if A5 dun perform better than it sth's really wrong... Added on April 25, 2011, 10:01 pm QUOTE(baretta @ Apr 25 2011, 09:57 PM) I pad 2 camera not so good, but ipad2 screen still better than xoom. both Xoom and iPad...Added on April 25, 2011, 9:59 pm U mean xoom or I pad? so far the only tab with int'l warranty is Transformer iirc... as per standard Asus Eee warranty policy... Added on April 25, 2011, 10:05 pm QUOTE(singa89 @ Apr 25 2011, 08:27 PM) xoom is very overpriced le i think if u look closely, WiFi version for US$599, that's basically the same as iPad2 32GB WiFi...galaxy still ok hope they ll reduce further to compete with epal but pricing at the same lvl is not helpful at convincing ppl to switch, especially when there's the "Apple effect" This post has been edited by astria: Apr 25 2011, 10:05 PM |

and rumour time again, this time it's abt Lenovo as well...
it seems that Lenovo is building another tablet besides the ThinkPad/Think Slate, however this one's for the consumers instead...  7 Inch, 1280×800 display Dual Core ARM processor "Le OS / Honeycomb" Android with Lenovo UI Available Q4 2011 looks pretty solid piece of info to me as LePad and IdeaPad U1 are already in the market... |
