But 7" is such an awkward size for a tablet... My bets are still on the Notion Ink Adam.

A very nice toy, but a toy all the same; comes from trying to be all things, or, jack of all trades, master of none.

$543 for 7" screen - Good Luck

 

[sliem]

Too expensive. $200 and it'll sell like hot cake.

+1. Agreed. Even if it's $250 I'll take one.

Meh.. Internet auctions are full of under 100 USD Chinese Android laptops and tablets. (Without GSM and gps..) When you've got a smartphone it's just a gadget not worth carrying around. (sorry forgot I can't use the less then character. working on an edit.)

If it can do HD streaming. and has a HDMI port I'll pay $425

All these Android build names have me wishing our gadgets came with desserts

 

[tsnorquist]

Is it just me or are all theses companies clinging to Apple's coat-tails with "____pad" nomenclature of tablet products.

If you're struggling with a name for your product ViewSonic, hand a few out as prizes here on Tom's and we'll generate catchy names for you.

Don't get the impression you're the only company doing this, there are plenty of others out there too.

If all these Android tablets are actually solid and available by the 2010 holiday season and HP doesn't have their WebOS tablet ready... bad news for them.

I agree with the pathetic nature of the names for these tablets. Everyone is jumping on the pad. I still do not see why Android OS didn't stick with the sci-fi naming scheme and call 2.2 "Froyo Baggins".

These tablets need some bigger screen resolutions. What's the point of having a 5" (hello dell streak) or 7" device with the same amount of pixels than a 4" or 3.7" phone...? you'll have to scroll around the same amount..

 

[Travis Beane]

Full size SIM?
You mean one of those credit card sized ones?

Too big for a pocket, too small to replace a netbook. Both this ans the iPad have awkward sizes that turn me away form them.

 

[eddieroolz]

Looks interesting. I hope these devices will live up to expectations, since I told my friend to hold off on the iPad for these competitors.

depends, its not an issue for me as i have nearly perfect vision however my dad i know was intrested in the streak with the 5 inch screen due to having a harder time focusing on such small txt on the sreen while yes he could zoom in on some stuff in home mode it doesnt help much .. not he did not end up going with the dell due it being in at&t so waiting for a larger devide on a different carrier
