but that may soon change!
Lets start with a quick skim, this is a Tegra2 tablet, as such its very fast, very powerful and sports
3D like a champion! The back is a hard plastic, harder then the acer a100 was; so we are ok with it, its not that brushed aluminum we love, but this is actually a good plastic. Rockin inside is 16gb of flash and if that isnt good enough for you, it has "MyCloud" similar to acers cloud system of unlimited storage. Which is good since Honeycomb tablets cant install apps to SDCard "something to consider when deciding between a 2.0 and 3.0 tablet"; 4.0 doesnt have this problem either.
which reminds me, if you plan on buying a tablet that rocks only 8gb of flash because hey, you can always drop another 8 in "or 16 etc",your wrong... That sdcard is going to be limited to ebooks, mp3s, and video untill your model gets a 4.0 upgrade; keep this in mind.
Now... this is an asus, so the pre-installed apps are glitchy, as most of their software is, but thats
what the "full access" to the android market is for ;p most apps youll need is free anyway; and buying one or two "special" ones are ok too. We accidentally turned it off a few times while turning up the volume, bad placement, but after an hour of playing it no longer happened.
This tablet comes in a packaged version as well "more cash of course" which includes a docking
station "laptop conversion kits i call them now, as they arent like the docking stations of old.
the docking pad also has a battery giving 8 hours more "+8 from the internal battery"; asus touted giving you 16 hours of battery life. Keep in mind you can buy 3rd party ones as well for tablets
that can charge from usb "this one cannot so it would be useless."
Heres a look at the "kit" version
Overall we highly suggest this tablet, $400 here gets you one easily sold for $500; and if you can
get it on sale, more power too ya, I havent heard anything about 4.0 on this tablet yet
