Google’s technology was stolen by Apple. Read “Steve Jobs” and you will see that apple steals ideas and will stop at nothing to launch first. Google had the whole “android” idea with cloud technology when they put “chrome os” into beta. Eric Schmidt (Exec. Chairman of Google) was on the apple board before the competition got too thick. Thus the reason why both markets seem so darn similar. But the problem with apple is, and always will be, that all their products are proprietary while the competition is open source. What this means is Google makes software for hardware companies and both compete to make a #1 product at a cheaper rate. apple makes their entire product and seals it up so no one can get into it(hence the reason of no SD card in iPad). But now that steve jobs is dead apple will have no one to push the envelope on future inventions. Plus apple released the iPad 2 in 2011, people are still “just now buying it” and it would anger alot of people if they launch iPad 3 so soon.

I don’t like Ice cream sandwich until they resolve some of the issues, Honeycomb is supposed to be the best and for battery life also I was told? I don’t want a keyboard.4 core 5 core does not matter to me.

Well, it is rectangular, and has a touch screen… for some folks, that is all that is needed to call it a iPad lookalike… :)

It will definitely be rolling out, they’ve already made a deal with google, which is the whole reason for the delay in shipping it out here. Google wanted their Chromebooks out and made Asus wait, then said it was because they needed to update the Prime. Asus is the little guy after all.

That would be nice. They are not showing it on the pre-order list right now, as a bundle, maybe later. I did order the Amethyst, hoping it will be as purple in real life. The champagne looked too silver, I already have a silver one.

A hardware gimmick trying to compete with the iPad. But gimmicks don’t work and the cost is ungodly. And the OS is old. Not acceptable.

I am told that Best Buy will have a bundle deal if you buy the tablet and dock together. I am holding out for that. Also, to see how purple the amethyst grey is. If it is as purple in real life as it is in the pictures then I shall go with the champagne.

Consider this though–ASUS has been rather quick with updates to Android for the predessor of this (drool drool) tablet. I can’t see why they wouldn’t break tradition with this new toy.
