yesterday i was at Best Buy retail shop at NYC. was actually looking for Kindle / Nook reader. but came across of variety of tablets of all kinds, include the new iPad. so i spend about an hours to play around with the demo sets. at the end, i said to myself gladly, "i made the right choice".. well, there are Sony's, Motorola, Asus's, Apple's and some more local US branded tablets, i just found my tab 7.7 is superior to all of them.
well, lets talk about the common rivals: the Asus Prime and the new iPad.
Asus Prime: tho i was exaggerated about it prior to its launch, and was dying waiting for.. then was turned away by the issues of weak wifi and GPS signals. but when i have a chance to put my hands on it yesterday, i was, ermmm ok.. it does not impress me at all.. and, maybe i used to tab 7.7 for quite some time already, but Asus Prime is noticeably heavy on my hands. the design, although for me it was suppose to be attractive before, was really dull when i had in on hands.
The New iPad: LOL. is it thicker (noticeable), and the so called RETINA DISPLAY does not stands out to my eyes. at first, i did not expect Best Buy is selling the new ipad already. so, there were 2 ipads on the shelve, one white, and the other black.. i went there, and flip flap the screen and do some browsing on both, with in my minds they are ipad 2.. suddenly, a worker come to me and said "how do u like the new ipad?". i was shocked asked him, which is the new ipad? he said, it is the white color one, and the black one is ipad 2. then i was LOL. they looks exactly the same. and i did not notice the differences on the display at first, until i was told and i look closer. yes, if u look closer, the new ipad have a better display, sharp edges on every images. but, for practical and normal usage, it does not outperform ipad 2 at all. for me, if i already having an ipad 2, it WORTHLESS to upgrade to the new ipad.
for other tablets, i dont need to say anything. Tab 7.7 is totally a winner. portability, display, battery life, functions, camera, expandable memory.
but Best Buy did not having tab 7.7 at their display. i wonder if it already on sale here in US. i even couldn't find any of its accessory yet.
so, for all users here, be happy and appreciate your tab. we are having the BEST!

Regards.
