Same Tegra 3 but 2GB ram.
Hope DEV can ported Windows 8 to our Prime or official ported from Asus
Look at it! I saw Battlefield 3 in home screen!!!
1366 x 768?! It really sucks.
Hope Win8 will be ported to Prime. I don't like Win8 interface but it could be useful sometimes.

It seems so good. How much do you think pricing will be? I think it may beat the prime as a product...
Also, how can the 600 run battlefield?
And whats the difference between windows RT and windows 8?

windows RT if for PC's or tablets running ARM processors (only available pre-installed).
win RT will not run software designed to run on the x86 platform. There will be limited software available.

The bootloader capable of booting Windows 8 will not be able to boot something else not signed with the right Microsoft key.
Windows 8 for ARM will not boot without the correctly signed boot loader.
There is a very small possibility that they will find some exploit in the Windows 8 ARM version boot process, but chances are great that Windows 8(RT) will never run on the Prime or other current Android tablets.
Seeing as how windows 8 is not open source and that it is infact a licensed/paid product I highly doubt we will see a port of it to anything with out some level of legal ramification. That said its even more unlikely that a port would be allowed on XDA because it could very easily be considered be the use of wares to install a cracked version of windows 8 (especially when you consider that of the android centric sites out there XDA is pretty visible to the public eye)
Do you think windows tablets will surpass android?

Yeah of course, I forgot to mention it has a Nvidia Discrete graphic in the new Keplar at 28nm. But we'll have to see in the future, it should be quite expensive.

You just linked to a hybrid ultrabook.
As for tablets... 600 and 810... both are running 1366 x 768 resolution.
600 = Tegra 3 (that means you can't play Skyrim natively as ARM doesn't run x86/x64 legacy software).
810 = Intel Atom(medfield SoC) (you can run Skyrin as it is based on x86... will it actually run well is the question as the GPU inside Intel Atom is garbage).
Btw, Acer Tablets actually look better with higher resolution.

Not sure where you got Discret Nvidia Keplar 28nm GPU from. Nvidia GPU... yes, but Keplar GPU? where did you get that info..... i really doubt it is Keplar GPU (with all the issues they have currently.....)
My 2 cents
I like windows, and would love to have a tablet with Win 8 on it. Much more compatible with my desktop running windows.
But with android, you get open source, Custom ROMS, and games and apps are a hell of a lot cheaper.
Ill stick with Android..

http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-640M-Kepler-Goes-Mobile-with-Acer/
they are the latest Nvidia Discrete GPU line.
Half are based on Fermi, and the other half (after 640M) is based on Keplar.
I haven't seen anything being mentioned as 28nm... but just as Nvidia Discrete GPU. Based on rest of the specification & intended target audience.... I doubt it'll be Keplar based GPU. Plus, Nvidia is having issues with Keplar based GPU atm... could all change by the time this device is actually released....
but my guess is Fermi based Discrete GPU.
Edit: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/asus-taichi-notebook-tablet/
Only interesting product from Asus for me. I like the concept... but it is definitely for a very small niche market. While everything sounds practical (at least for my use)... I have to wonder how practical it will actually be once you factor in the battery life, overall weight of the hybrid ultrabook, and etc...... Not really a fan of basically all of their "device" looking the same either.
First thing I noticed was the large plastic RF window, much larger than Infinity's.
The 810 has 64GB, 600 has 32GB. Like Prime, neither has USB on tablet. I can't imagine a Win device w/o USB, so am wondering if the dock comes standard, or at least with a bundled SKU.
Disappointing that the 810 is 1-core Medfield and not 2-core Clover Trail. Ditto for the 600, with moldy Teg3.
810's 11.6" size is off-putting for tablet (one-hand) use. Envisioned use: mainly docked with occasional tablet use. As a tablet, the 600 is more attractive, and should cost less.
Both models are 1368x768, which yet again is disappointing for the larger 810. The Acer W700 is same 11.6" but with fullHD (1920x1080). BTW, interesting that Android tablet gets the 1080p screen and not Win8.
No real surprises on the HW. The big question is price. Given the wimpy SoCs, these shouldn't cost too much. My SWAG: 600 = $500, 810 = $600. Plus $150 dock.
Anybody get the point of Asus' Taichi double-sided-screen notebook? My reaction: WTF. Looks like for people who need to do demos to clients. Niche, like the PadFone. Probably concept-ware.

Hi,
Just watched presentation of upcoming Toshiba Tab and Iahve to say I fell in love again (as with GT 10.1 which dissapointed me with itd SoC).
AT200 will be equipped with Ti OMAP4 4430 (1,2 Ghz) chip - the one with Netflix HD certificate. Has microSD slot, micro USB and HDMI. It is just 7,7 mm thick and very light.
What do you think....if you thinking of getting GT10.1 in few days would that make you wait?
And one more thing... Video transcoding - is it coming to an end???
I just bought my tab 4 days ago, don't want to even think about this tablet, I would've gotten it but too late now :/
Specs is one thing. What's important is real life performance and if there's any other possible flaw. Gtab actually looks not bad, but the software performance bogged it down. I'd by the time the Toshiba tablet is released, icecream sandwich may be released or close to be released. So unless the performance of the Toshiba tab is another class higher than grab, I see no point thinking too much about it.

Looks almost identical to the Gtab! same resolution display too.... Won't be long before Apple will be taking Toshiba to the courts over this!! (or maybe Samsung will!??)

I looked at the Engadget review and the tablet looked pretty slow to me, I might be wrong. I'm very happy with my P7510 running on a vanilla 3.1 Honeycomb (soon to run on PhantomHacker's 3.2 vanilla ROM) and I'm looking forward to see Ice Cream on it.
The thing is, we will never purchase a tablet if we wait for the next "big one" to come out. Technology changes so fast that is not worth to trouble yourself. Just enjoy the tablet and use it to death, I personally think that my Tab 10.1 is an excellent product.
Well, I am not waiting for the next big one but just for one that does not have Tegra2 inside, looks OK, has I/O's I want and 3G connectivity.
So, just to have something for now I bought iPad 1 3G few weeks ago. As it is very limited device I was waiting for it to get right price. $350 for new one on warranty is OK. Now I can wait till end of the year to get Excite or Holiday or TF2 or Xoom2.... Will see.
If you want to wait, an alternative would be the HP Touchpad for $99 (fire sale instead of $499). It runs on WebOS which is awesome and I'm pretty sure someone will make an Android ROM for it eventually. Don't expect a great quality build, though.
The Tosh looks very nice, another weapon in the Android armoury. I'm still very happy with my Samsung 16Gb Wifi.

It would be all true if folks like me could actually get it.
IMHO if you want (especially 3G) tablet now, good one, for reasonable price, just to keep you going till the one you really want is out iPad1 seems like a great deal.
Does most of the stuff Tegra 2 tablets do, has 3G and new one can still be found pretty cheap (half of the zoom price for example). And form me video capabilities all almost the same.
There will be always something new and better than what's available currently in the market. By the time Toshiba excite gets released to the market, even more better tablet with awesome specs will be shown at a new tech show taking place anywhere on this planet Earth.

I'm feeling exactly the same as you. The size and weight of the GT 10.1 was perfect but the poor video decoding performance of the Tegra 2 and lack of MicroSD card slot was a real let down. The AT200 seems like it will be perfect for me (assuming the OMAP proc is a lot better for video decoding). I just hope it comes out real soon to the UK market. If they delay it too long then I may be put off with official specs of ICS tablets.
It is the same SOC as in new Archos G9 series (like them but they look "cheap") and they say it will "Play" anything and everything. ;-)
Dont even think about getting the tab 10.
The Ti OMAP4 4430 in the toshiba is far superior to Tegra 2.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has A9 cores with Neon processing. Tergra 2 does not have the Neon processing and will be much slower when running apps which use Neon code and alot of apps are starting to use it.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has DUAL channel memory controller. Tegra 2 only has a single channel. Since video memory is shared, dual channel will give double the memory bandwidth which is highly needed since video memory is shared from system memory.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has SUPERIOR video decoding hardware compared to tegra 2. You can finally play real HD 1080p video. Tegra 2 decoder is so slow it cant decode main and high HD profiles which is what everyone uses.

Full specs have been released.
Does it have an amazing screen like the Samsung SPLS? Screen quality along with weight is what made my decision. However im disappointed in the current state of honeycomb/tablet apps. I would expect apps like Google+ to have the hangout video support. Lack of skype video is also a huge downer. My older samsung galaxy 7 also had way better video playing support.

No, but don't worry, I do not think Europe has one either .
And two facts:
1. OMAP is a definitely better SOC than Tegra 2 - no arguing here. The only thing at which Tegra 2 might be better (we will have to wait and see, but I doubt it myself) is energy management.
I am worried about battery life of a tablet with 1,2 - 1,5 Ghz clock.
2. It will be cheaper in US than in EU - fact.
Now, one more "issue" we might encounter by the time it is in the shops. What will be a better choice - tablet with Omap4 or Tegra3/Kal-El with 4 cores and new architecture? (unless nvidia made an intel trick or the one they do with graphic cards - Tegra 3 is two Tegra 2 cpu's on a single chip - this would suck I think)
Good news for the Friends of the latest ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, because from March will be a UMTS version hit the market, which is also equipped with a more powerful GPS module. ASUS is responding to the continuing complaints relating to the relatively weak performance of the receiver currently installed GPS.

Ill be honest. I don't understand the hype. Windows 8 for ARM is not compatible with the x86 varient so no apps will work unless it is specifically ported to work on the arm processor. Beyond that what is Microsoft bringing to te table that Android doesn't have? Office?

This is what I have heard as well. Legacy software won't work out the gate, but going forward it shouldn't be too hard for devs to make software work on both.
Obviously if this is the case, windows 8 will quickly become very hard to ignore in the tablet arena. Hell even if they get fully functioning office software on it (which hopefully will be one of the first things they port in), that alone will be a huge incentive for many people to switch.
I guess we all forgot about the switch apple made from ibm to intel!

Your question can be applied to any piece of technology that has ever been made(or will be) since there will always be a "latest and greatest" product coming around the corner in 3 months.....6 months...9 months...etc.....especially in the tablet arena.

Splashtop HD comes free inside the cloud app.
Windows 8 on tablets will be in the "Metro" interface not the normal windowed mode on desktops and laptops.
Frankly I think Microsoft is way too late, just like their phones being way too late to market.

I got to thinking recently. I love my Sony Tablet to death and use it daily, but I now have my Vita and once more software an support is up and running for it, I think I can see it cutting into my tablet-love.
Now from what I undersand the guts of a Vita (cpu/gpu) don't really work too well in a cell phone, but what about in the next Sony tablet? Sure it likely won't operate on the Vita OS and will use Android, but how desirable would this be in your opinions? How would its performance compare to the other tablets on the market?
Is there really any reason why the Vitas guts wouldn't work in an Android tablet? Personally I'd like to see a Sony tablet with the Vita OS, but unfortunately the software support isn't there yet and likely won't be for 6 months to a year.
So... thoughts?
I'm wondering if Sony will release another tablet.
Sales haven't been great and there's a lot of competition out there. If only they'd market it a bit and plug the plus points & differences over the ipad and other Android tablets, then I'm sure it would pinch more market share.
I'd also like to see better PS3 integration. Using it as a controller like the next gen wii.I'm sure the hardware is up to the job.
Sony will release another Tab, actually this tab is named one of the best tabs out there. But to get a premium and unique tab you have to pay right?
next tab is named S2 and will have quad core
That's good to hear. Must have taken a while to come up with the name.

Yeah, it makes sense that it'll be quad core, but I'm wondering if it'd make more sense for them to port Vita the CPU/GPU into it, or go for the newer A15 quad cores that'll be coming out eventually. Anyone know enough about the Vita internals to know if they have any advantages over these newer chipsets?

Just like PC and consoles, they are two totally different things
Vitas chipset runs in closed environment just like your PS3 or 360, which will always be optimise performance
So the same or slightly more powerful chip set will never match it because of this
But on paper, yeah I suppose, but if ya mean will A15 in a phone or a tab be able to run Uncharted the answer is no.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda app-developers app
Haha... had to see this thread coming... I already did... just hanging around here to advise people till I get my Nexus 10.... gonna buy it the day it's available...
I am keeping my prime, I refuse to jump on this redundant display bandwagon. We've gotten by fine for over 10 years with 1200x800 and going higher just consumes more power, for what? 720p is more than acceptable on a 10 inch device. Last I checked, there aren't a surplus of 1600p videos, and even if there were I would prefer to watch them on something larger than 10 inches so I could actually see the difference over 720p. The only way to see the difference is to hold it inches away and that's not how people watch movies.
As far as text rendering goes, it's no excuse to sacrifice battery life, overall performance, and spend more money.
I wish OEMs would have let apple go down this silly path on their own. Not every decision apple makes is effective. I wish OEMs would have focused those efforts on more power, stability, and other features, instead of just pulling a page from apple's playbook and upping the displays on devices that already have wonderful displays. As it stands my transformer prime already has a nicer panel than the laptop I'm typing this on, and desktop displays could make much more use out of better displays than any 10 inch tablet can.
The purpose 1600p tablets serve is to satisfy consumer dickmeasuring. "OH YOUR TABLET ISN'T 1600P IT'S NOT AS NICE AS THE IPAD!"
There are more effective routes OEMs could have taken to actually advance their products that isn't putting in overkill displays.
Agreed to #3. Android narcissism in Tech Specs's war. Will it benefit consumers? Yes. Cut-throat competition. What I hope is that Google won't be killing off other OEMs in the near future just so to use them as springboards to fight Apple. If so, then Google's advocacy of Cloud Storage may mean expensive onboard storage of us all.

I was holding tough to my Prime hoping a fix was coming and that once it got JB all would be well.Bought myself a Galaxy S III a few weeks back and the Wife a Nexus 7 and they both run circles around my Prime.Really,its an embarrassment for a $500 tab to run like sh!t compared to a $200 tab and a smartphone.Not only web browsing but even flipping through menus and navigating the device is snappier than my Prime.The second I can get my hand on the Nexus 10,I'm dumping the Prime.. :good:
My Prime's still running like crap even after Jellybean and countless factory resets and even restoring the stock image. Mine is already on eBay and I'll be buying the Nexus 10 on release day. I welcome nearly instant updates from Google.
Maybe the nexus 7... I like the prime but I left a sgt7 for it and its just not as portable... But to answer the question, no I won't go to the nexus 10.
16 gb or even 32gb isn't enough I have like 28gb of apps alone. Google is retarded

im pretty sure that the nexus is much better than the prime (in some cases) but my questions is this, how will the speed differ in which the prime is quad core tegra 3 and the nexus is DUAL core with the new Cortex A-15 chip. For example apple used the cortex chips like the a-5 in their devices and the devices are pretty fluid so i wonder how this will put up and if it would be ridiculously lag-free faster....0.o
Nah for the time being ill stick with my prime I don't have any real issues. JB is fast and I can do everything I want on the tablet. I think even if I was able to get the Nexus 10 the time it would take for me to sell my prime and get up the rest of the cash if I couldnt sell it for 400, a newer nexus 10 will come out. So if anything ill save and wait. I have a sgs3 galaxy nexus and Tprime im good for another year or so on devices
No Nexus 10 for me but I just ordered a ipad mini. Found the 10 inch units too heavy while the display was too small on the 7 inch. But the mini was perfect in that regard. Lighter than any 7 inch but with screen massively bigger. And no more wasted space due to the on screen Android virtual buttons bar.
That was my plan until I saw the pics and specs. No microsd. $500 for only 32gb. No working for me. Just got to wait for anither tablet to come out. For those that dont think a higher resolution makes a difference. It does. I have the new ipad and the screen is beautiful. Makes reading and using it much easier on the eyes.

when the nexus10 is released in the netherlands or available for normal prices abroad i will surely switch to the nexus10. samsung is the way to go! also waiting for a good keyboard case/addon for the nexus 10.
after 2 asus products, 6 rma's and still a laggy product im sick and tired of asus.... and sick and tired of nvidia trying to get world domination with their closed source tegra-only marketing tricks...
for the moment i can wait a bit, cm10 unofficial with bfq scheduler works pretty decent but still lockups due to slow storage. i hate lags!
Does the increase resolution on the Nexus 10 lend itself to better handwriting recognition?

Apple devices are fluid because they don't properly multi task and don't have widgets and live wallpapers running on them, just a bunch of apps/folders cluttering up the screen. Clear your screens and only run one thing at once on Android and it might be as smooth but will it be any where near as fun?
I think the Nexus 10 has a rediculous resolution. I don't even have that on my pc with 24" monitor so why bother on a 10" tablet?
I reallly, really like my Prime so will be keeping it but I also have a 32GB Nexus 7 on the way for when I need something a little smaller and more portable.
I'm one of the lucky ones who has a nearly flawless Prime. Yea the WiFi could be better but I mainly just tether from my phone so it's not big issue. My TF201 of course has more mods on it than I could count (scripts mainly) and combined with a 1.8ghz OC it's faster than ever. The Nexus devices are great but honestly the look of the Nexus 10 doesn't please me even with the ridiculously high screen res.
N10 wins just on the fact that the software will be made by Google and will be snappy and responsive, not laggy and crappy. I just sold my Prime and will be getting an N10. Never again with Asus...never again.
Two things stop me from even thinking about it:
- no sd card slot
- no keyboard dock

Seriously? An iPad mini? Basicly an iPad 2 shrunked to 8" for the price of one and a half Nexus 7?
Tough decision...

The Exynos 5250 is much faster than Tegra 3. Also the Nexus 10 software comes straight from Google, so no lag and strange bugs. Yeah Prime is better looking but in my opinion usability is more important. Also Samsung devices dont have some cheap and slow internal memory.
I am in the market for an android tablet but seeing as times are hard I can only really stretch to one of the following two models...
Sumvision Cyclone Voyager 7"
B&N Nook HD
Please can someone list the pro's and con's for each device bearing in mind that I enjoy tinkering with custom ROMs and the such but ultimately would like to end up with a tablet that works well for general day to day browsing, YouTube and a little gaming.
Thanks in advance!
PS. If this is posted in the wrong location then I am very sorry, and hopefully one of the mods can move it for me!
Check out the specs on Hisense Sero 7. It compares well with the original Nexus7 and cost around $130 at Walmart.

I suggest you to buy tablets with screen bigger then 8", I think 7" is to small, is more like a big phone not a tablet.

I suggest you buy PIPO M8Pro.
I would like you to wait for few more months..........it is because, in a few months, the market will be flooded with highly powerful, low cost MediaTek Quad-Core MT8135 - specially designed for tablets. This is set to change the market. Even the upcoming kindle will use it.
Best buy = 7+ inch HD display, MT8135 Quad core processor, 2GB RAM @ around 120-150$ !
MediaTek, with its new MT8135, among the first SoC designers to have adopted the ground-breaking big.LITTLE processing technology which is designed to address the energy and thermal issues associated with multicore system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. ARM big.LITTLE technology enables the creation of dual-cluster SoCs, with one high-performance (big) cluster for processing intensive tasks and a highly energy-efficient (LITTLE) cluster for executing routine functions.

but if screen size is bigger than 8", it is inconvenient to carry.
