I was reading about this earlier and it does seem quite good actually. I don't think I'll be buying it though :P.

This is definitely first on my list of tablets I want, although there are many more to come later this year.

It's a shame it's battery life is so poor though.

Yeah, that sucks quite a bit...
Then again I think they only put out the battery life for continuous HD video.

It looks like a giant Android phone.

Very cool! Not a fan of the 7" screen size though, I like the 10 inchers a lot better.

The similarities end at the form factor though. The iPad runs iOS, this runs Android. The iPad sports a larger screen, this has a smaller. The iPad has worse hardware, this has significantly better (though, does anyone know why this only has the single core? I don't think I'd buy it for that reason.)

That's what she said.

I think it's dated already. Like HotelUser said about the single core processor.

Might be to cut costs down but the battery seems pretty crap compared to the other tablets that have been announced recently.

HTC Flyer & OnLive

Seems like a nice combo as OnLive seems cool although you've got to have a nice connection speed, check it out if you havent heard of it.
