I don't think it'll ever be anywhere close to where the Mac vs. Windows thing is in terms of software availability since apps are generally much simpler to program than full-fledged desktop applications are. However, if the forecasts posted earlier are accurate, that would leave iOS with only 1/3rd the market share as iOS. Add to that the fact that Blackberry is adding a way to run Android apps, and that's roughly 4 times as many users who can run Android apps as iOS apps. I'd think that would cause fairly significant changes in the amount of effort developers put into apps for iOS, but I guess we'll see. |

Based on what I have seen so far... we have a new clear cut winner in the tablet space...
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=gHh4q7I8dvWJzhdV Has all the specs you could want... + a cool docking station that adds a keyboard and extra battery life along with a full sized SD card reader and extra USB ports. ...and most important of all... CHEAP! MSRP for the base model is supposed to be $400 ok it isn't as cheap as it needs to be (<$351) but we are getting there! |

It was just released overseas and is expected to go on sale here sometime in the next 10 days! No confirmation on the price yet, but two separate reports have it at $400 for the 16GB model without 3G

So...at the risk of interrupting the epic debate in this thread, would it make more sense to start a new "Android tablet watch" thread or something like that? Seems like there are a lot of folks on here waiting for some good options, so it might be nice to have a good resource for it now that there are a few good ones starting to appear.

Yeah, I get it that it's detachable, but if you have to carry all that other shit around to make it awesome, why not just get a computer? When it is in tablet form, how does it actually perform? |
