My question to asus or 7 inch tab fans. What should I expect the battery life to be like? Somewhere in between an ipod touch and a transformer prime? I'm just curious how good 7 inch tabs battery is compared to the 10 inchers.
@Teremei Ten inches is a lot of screen for a tablet or any touch based computer thats portable to illuminate. You got to remember that the backlight is what kills battery life.
@briantexts check out the transformer prime if you haven't. People say this is like a mini version of that tablet for those who want a smaller tablet.
Front Facing camera is more important on a portable tablet than a back camera... Don't need 8 MP camera on a tablet... Give me a simple VGA Front Facing camera on this device and I am sold...
Are you guys joking about having no front facing camera? At this price point, it beats out every tablet around this price range, this has way better specs but your complaining about no front facing camera smh
As gr8 as it seems the front facing camera is a must for me since I skype often. I have a samsung ace and w/o the front camera its even more low end in my opinion and my iphone friends get the wrong impression about android.
Feature packed with the latest and most powerful features for $250? Are you kidding me? Sign me up! This will kill the Kindle and Nook for sure. Now the real fun begins.
I'd rather have a front facing camera on a tablet. A rear facing camera is cool but come on I have my phone or point and shoot for that. I wanna skype and ish on a tab not pretend to be an artist by taking pictures of regular things and throwing sepia tone in the mix. get with it I feel like it is just a bunch of old men sitting in a room coming up with ideas that they think are with the times.
The Kindle Fire already stabbed the iPad with its price point and Amazon content from one direction. Tegra 3 at this price stabs the Apple iPad from the other direction. Now we have a tablet that has a much faster processor than the iPad, with the refined user experience of ICS over previous Android versions, and at half the price!
It just seems that Asus or Nvidia must be taking a profit hit in pricing the tablet at this level to get quick market penetration like we saw with the Kindle Fire.
@quannumkid Thanks, I might check it...but as I also need a phone I might end up getting the Note(for wife). I just wanted a Tegra 3 as they are just around the corner and I feel its going to last for a bit longer while than usual, while Tegra 2 already feels old.
For manufacturers: please use the stylus more. The kind that the Note has. I find it hard to believe that writing and drawing is so outlandish request, that even Android still fails to full fill my dreams.
Shut up and take my money!
