    Review on Consumer Reports on tablets trashes pretty much everything except ipad. Samsung Galaxy gets a bit of rating.

    it has to be better than the archos tablet we bought at work that runs windows. i was wondering when archos would start putting a better-fitting operating system on its tablets.

    Would be great for reading manga, only if it has a better screen with higher resolution like 720p

    Golly gee, so Consumer Reports joined the Kool-Aid sipping club, eh? Not that I ever pay any attention to what they say, since half the time it's merde.

    Seems this tablet at least has all the features that Apple should have put on the ipad in the first place. And they did it at $200 less. Anyone else seeing a continuation of the "you get less than what you pay for" policy from Steve & company?? Rolling Eyes

    That's like saying 'why buy a Porsche when you can buy this Pinto for a bit less?'

    Do not even compare an Apple product to a Porsche. Maybe it could be a Pinto in a Porsche shell, but that is about the best it could be.

    I do say to wait for Android 3.0 but since they are so friggin slow at getting it released and so far behind the iTampon, maybe check to see if this will be updatable to 3.0 before buying

    It's more like asking would you buy a Pinto if a Porsche cost less?
