    First: For $150, you can't go wrong.

    It's got a slower processor than say the Nexus One.
    Running Android 1.6
    I don't see GPS
    It doesn't say anything about battery life.

    Personally, I'm going to wait for something solid that is
    reviewed well. It's awesome to see Android rolling out in the tablet market though.

    Good find!

    It looks like it would work as an ebook reader...and maybe some web browsing, but you're not going to get much out of it, those specs are even worse than some of the oldest android phones.

    Wifi N and "8 LCD are fine... too much wide the frame border (or bigger the screen, or more little the device)


    What really need these kind of product is:
    good battery, usb *host* v3, hdmi out (when you help the power pluging the AC/usb you can use it to full throttle)

    The designs are similar to the iPad but the "revolutionary" is that the iPad costs 500-700USD and technically is not much more better.

    RAM is on the light side and what does
    "Processor 800MHz (Actual 533MHz)"

    Mean? is it 800 MHz or 533MHz?

    I have a feeling that 533MHz is the actual advertised speed, but they have over clocked it for you up to 800MHz so they could put a higher number on the box...

    All I want is a tablet that supports an NX Client, since I have NX working quite well, including 3d applications. If I can open up my home desktop on this thing, it really doesn't matter to me if the device itself can play Nexuiz, since I'll be playing it anyway.

    I'm just waiting for one of these tablets to come with usable keyboards or USB ports for such peripherals. Then again, I guess that defeats the point of having a tablet. XD

    I daresay HTC or similar are well on their way to releasing an iPad competitor - done right it could be awesome, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
