Hands-On With Acer's New 10-Inch Android Tablet

adeelarshad82 writes "Earlier this week Acer unveiled three new tablets, two for Android and one for Windows. Unfortunately details on the devices were slim, including their names. According to a hands-on with the 10-inch Android tablet, the device is about half-inch thick and weighs slightly more than an iPad. It's currently running an unknown Android version but according to the Acer executives the tablets will be running Google's tablet version of Android, Honeycomb. The tablet has no front-facing buttons. The side includes a power button, lock button, an SD slot and a docking port for full-sized keyboard dock. The device also includes two cameras, front and back, resolutions details of which are still unknown. There's also a mini HDMI port for playing content on HDTVs. The tablets are powered by Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU which gives it the edge when it comes to graphics."

Re:It's the apps, stupid

um the is slashdot home of OSS, where if you don't have 50,000 kinds of any application then you don't have enough variation to figure out which is the best app. Because in OSS if you don't like it you fork it and try again and then let it die when it becomes work.

So by that very definition the 50,000 ipad apps are superior even if they suck. As choice is always superior to non choice.

Which is funny because android is supposed to promote choice while apple limits choice, however there are more choices to make your tablet useful with apple than with android.

Now I shall be modded into oblivion.
