To be honest, all of the Android tablets I've seen so far have been underwhelming (and I'm holding out for a decent one). The Galaxy Tab isn't too bad, but it's small and overpriced. The best one I've seen is the Archos 101, and that still needs work.
I'm hoping that next year sees some decent contenders.
- cryptoz 16y agoThe reason that Android tablets don't seem to be any good is that Google never intended Android to run on tablets at all. Chrome OS is the netbook and tablet OS, while Android is the phone OS. Android's openness lets anyone put it anywhere so of course we'll see Android tablets, especially given that Chrome OS isn't officially out yet (this month, though, right?) Anyway, yeah, next year should have a lot of Google-related free software tablets, either Chrome OS or Android.
- AndrewDucker 16y agoNaah. Galaxy Tab shows that it can be done. The reason most of the Android tablets I've seen so far have been rubbish is that they've had resistive screens and slow processors.
- bryanlarsen 16y agoThe rumour is that Android 3.0 will be tablet-friendly. Hopefully we'll find out on the 8th.
