    Maybe, that does look pretty good. faster DDRIII ram, a bigger touch screen and more internal memory (8gb)

    Don't know about the CPU though, looks like it's a single core 89 CPU. The main reason I posted that tablet was because of the impressive dual core cpu. Plus MP4Nation is a well known website.

    Still a good find none the less, a bit more expensive at $299 ($85 more expensive)

    Thanks kluger, the Iconia does look impressive with the nVidia Tegra processor.

    Speaking of which, have you checked out the Dell Streak 7? They look pretty awesome. Amazon have them for $299USD and I think it's an extra $20 for express to Australia. After currency conversion though it should turn out to be about $300 delivered

      Amazon will only ship books, DVD's and other non electronic items overseas. You will need to organize a parcel forwarding service (who usually charges a certain fee) if you want to buy a tablet from Amazon.

        That used to be the case scrimshaw, but not anymore.

        Problem is it seems to be very hit-and-miss as to which products will ship, even the same product can change back and fourth depending on the batch.

        The even better news is, that when you do get the timing right their international shipping prices are insanely good.

  What is the GPU included in this tablet? It is important because it is worthwhile finding out whether most of the HD games will work or not. Going with a non-mainstream chips mean it will be harder to get most Gameloft HD games to work. Dual core 533Mhz… kinda a bit weird.

  Not sure, you should check out the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mS9PQ…

  The guy did say the dual processors worked well in conjunction or something like that.

  @ Stumo, care to explain what you mean "their international shipping prices are insanely good?" Are you talking about express postage?

    stumo on 08/07/2011 - 22:16

    Asus transformer tablet shipped for like $15. No other way to call that, other than insane.

      ozb-442 on 08/07/2011 - 22:44

      Ahh ok I see now, from Amazon.

      How do you like the tablet anywho?

        haha I was this close to clicking "submit" on a 32GB for US$514 shipped a few weeks back, but I piked out. I ended up getting a new (to me) laptop for work instead - HP 8730w with dreamcolor screen.

        I've decided I'm going to sit out this round of tablets/phones (absolute bargains excepted). Mostly its the low screen res on both phones and tablets that I can't be dealing with.

        I want a non tegra2 dual core+ 7" tablet with 1280x800, which are coming, probably by xmas. Or then there is the next nexus phone which is rumored to have a 720p amoled, that would do me nicely - For my usage, I would hardly use a tablet at all if I got that phone.

        That being said, I still really like the transformer, and will find it hard not to if they drop in price before then.

  ozb-442 on 08/07/2011 - 23:17

  Fair enough,

  What do you mean by low res screens? The transformer has a resolution of 1280 x 800 which if you work it out for a 10" screen is a lot of pixels? Or is it just the low res in general?

  And btw, nice laptop. The Core 2 Quads are still pretty decent processors for their age.

  EDIT: A non tegra 2? What's better? (I wouldn't have a clue :P)

    I just find that for proper web browsing these days, you need to be able to display a bare minimum of 1024 on the long axis, and 768 on the short. That is the absolute bare minimum for me, and even then, tablet PCs have had that res since like 10 years ago. So the higher the res the better.

    Although 10.1" at 1280x800 does meet that minimum, it isn't really pushing any boundaries at 10", it is on a 7". I prefer 7", having used the Nook color for a while now, but its 1024x600 is mildly annoying me on the web.

    Its not a deal breaker, but Tegra2 has an issue with high profile encoded 720p and 1080p video in hardware. It can be worked around by transcoding, but I just want something that you can throw any video file at and it will just play it with proper hardware decoding (ie. without chewing through the battery with CPU).

    Any other recent top end dual core SOC doesn't have this issue, so thats Snapdragon, Exynos, and OMAP. EDIT: even later single cores from those big players don't have the issue.

      yes please with the higher res screens. I think the masses though dont usually find this a critical thing as most of them are blind. (not to mention deaf with the use of std ipod/iphone headphones)

  I wonder if Android 3.0 is planned for these, seems fast enough for it.
