i realise that there is no thread for this tablet...

it has better function compared with asus tranformer,with USD port,and SD card reader...
and in msia it is selling at the price 1599,cheaper than the overated asus tranformer....

dun get me wrong..
asus tranformer is a very good and cheap tablet,that is if u stay in US,
but here the tranformer is rumored to be selling at 1699...

i dun think IPS have a super big different from acer iconia one...
read some comparison b4,only different in viewing angle,which the acer one offer 160' while ipad or tranformer give 175'

i personally prefer acer iconia,i tried asus pproduct b4,their service sucks,
and my acer laptop has been alive since 6 years ago,(but i have nvr tried their service center,so cant comment)

This is available for sale now even at my place , which is a small town. Price RM 1499. Have a brief look at it  : most impressive is the build - very classy and its finishing is superb. I like the full USB port that it has, meaning you can now just plug in your thumb drives to transfer files.
The shop told me the Asus EEE Pad will be in soon too.

1499??
that cheap...

I bought it in Penang, RM 1588 with free case. Just bought it last Friday. The seller is on Lowyat forum as well.

So far I am really happy with it. The wifi connection works well, although I think it's not as powerful as I'd like but good enough. The flexibility to attach microSD and USB is really why I bought it, not to mention 32gb is a lot for the price smile.gif

how about the screen quality??
is the screen unscatchable?
how much for a screen protector??

worth the money o not?

seen alot of review about the screen and the weight,
but in some review stated that the screen is very good as well..

very confusing...

its 1499 for members with 2 years warranty

btw i just came back from senq .. tried the xoom and the iconia
in my opinion the iconia was faster in web browsing and somehow feels much more smoother than the xoom ( xoom on display has not been updated to 3.1, so that might be the reason tho)
tried NFS game and no noticeable lag whatsoever on the iconia..
the iconia also felt much nicer in hand .. xoom felt kinda awkward to me

the only good thing bout xoom 4 me was that it looked way cooler than the acer

the only thing that worries me about the iconia is that it is ACER
(i have had a few bad experiences with acer products)

Same here, bought from Senq yesterday. Nice screen, a bit heavy compare to my brother Asus transformer which he bought from Taiwan. Browsing web a few ms slower compare to I pad, mostly because of flash plugin.  But the default android keyboard very very very slow. Very frustrating.

since u have both the tablet...
can u make a review comparison for both of it?
