[OT] Unboxing the Acer Android Tablet

[Admin]

Again, I disagree. 

I bought all the angry birds apps, along with
tons of other games and the Nvidia Tegra dual core SHINES. Every kid
that has played it (I am a administrator at a camp this summer) LOVES
IT. They say it rivals their xbox 360 and playstation 3. The Ipad 2 is
good, but not THAT good. Sorry. No choppiness here. Check to see if
something is draining your memory. Get an app that saves battery and
automatically closes programs. What you may not know about the Iconia
(and hence most android 3.0 devices) is that it multithreads and all the
apps are still running. You have to shut them off to ensure a quality
experience.

wrong about the power adapter not being strong enough, I was using the

doesn't allow system updates until the battery is at 30% charge.

The main things Chipp said that seemed wrong was about the screen. I've
seen colleagues who use their iPad at the default energy saving
brightness, they just don't know how amazingly bright the iPad screen
can be! I can imagine that if you compare that against the Acer that you
might think the Acer was better, but the iPad at it's full brightness
makes most Android screens look dull. The Acer isn't dull, but it isn't
better than the iPad.

wide screen can be useful when playing Angry Birds Rio levels, but the
actual DPI is only 149 versus 132. 132 is already fairly high, and
unless I wear reading glasses and try to look for differences, I
wouldn't describe the extra 12% as being that much better.

Rio can get very choppy on the Acer, I'm curious whether the new system
update will help that. I'm still only at 19% charge, so it won't let me
do the update yet.

Archos didn't either, until I bought a USB charger cable for six bucks
