u mean the dock?

this is promising

lol, my friend poisoned me to sell of my MacBook Air and get Transformer...

Asus Eee Pad Slider and Transformer 3G will appear in UK in August...

the Transformer 2 will be a cross between the current model and the Eee Pad Slider, and will result in a thinner, sleeker and more powerful device. In addition, it seems ASUS is planning on releasing two versions of the tablet; one running standard Android and the other running a tablet version of Windows 8.

Toshiba Thrive is available for pre-order in Toshiba Direct website: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/tablet.to

ohh la la, this one looks yummy...

the Samsung Galaxy Tab Seven (aka Galaxy Tab 2) is slated for a Fall launch...

Exynos 1.2 GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM, 2GB ROM
16GB of internal memory
Micro SD slot
Tab proprietary connector with USB Host capabilities (via adapter)
7 inch WSVGA IPS display
Ability to call, video call and send SMS messages

last but not least... Gin-Gin-Gin-GINGERBREAD (Android 2.3.4)!  with TouchWiz 4.0...

pretty outdated rit? but here's the speculated reason for that... Ice cream Sandwich and monitor...

ICS is more or less confirmed to be released in Winter (late Nov/early Dec), and that's going to be a major release which combines the GB and HC into 1, so with such a late launch date, it probably makes more sense to wait for update to ICS instead of putting HC into it, and customize the crap out of it with TouchWiz 4.0 (aka blown up Galaxy S II)... also the small monitor makes it a little cluttered to ve HC on it...

i suppose it's 1024x600, else Samsung would have put Honeycomb into it already...

part of my self-proclaimed job in this thread...

to confuse ppl...

Got my keyboard dock today. I got many many stares when I detached the tablet from the dock in Starbucks.

I think there was one stunned guy, almost fainted when I did that. 

walau.... u all really up to date bout tech stuff...@@

i think tearing apart wouln't be the word, should be dismemberment.

Added on June 18, 2011, 9:19 amwell, gt a relatively noob question..

one should hav a pc, before having an android phone or tablet, true?

just out of the blue.

bachelor student...

juz finished exam, so yeah, lots of free time for the next 5 weeks...

anyway for tablet i still see it as a secondary rig like netbook and MacBook Air, except that there is a different way of using it...

a desktop or regular laptop is still needed for the heavy duty work...

say for myself, i can't survive with only my MacBook Air..., i still need my N81Vp for things like games, videos, etc...

same goes for my father, he needs a desktop to manage his investment portfolio... the Galaxy Tab is mainly for him to monitor the market (and for my mum to play Angry Birds )

lolx, me mum too on my sis de x8,zzz angry bird sounds can be heard evli nite. 

my sem strts on sep, pftj, ya think any new stuff coming out other than llano b4 sept?( dearly off topic)

yeah, and she's addicted...

Angry Birds is on her Xperia X8 as well...

but of course, it's much more enjoyable on Galaxy Tab...

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.

ever think abt Galaxy Tab 8.9?

basically a smaller version of Tab 10.1,but still maintain the same resolution... but too bad it's still has an unknown launch date since it's plagued by monitor glass problem...

i still dun think 1024x600 is the right resolution for a tablet, as i ve tried on Galaxy Tab 1... but Tab 2... argh, Exynos is juz too hard to resist...
