Poor review?
Was a bit dissapointed with the review.
Android has version 3.1 out so referring to v 3.0 is old hat.
Then what about the serious android honeycomb tablets. No mention made of them and specifically the Asus which has a keyboard as an optional extra and which transforms the tablet into a touch screen laptop. It is seen here in the UK as the no.1 rival with Motorola Xzoom a close 2nd.
Maybe the review referred to 3rd generation items. However the Intel at under $1,000 (Read $900+) is in my view too expensive and as a first attempt (= no history) may not have much of a future.
But it does show the traditional laptop is maybe history.
