I like Anand's reviews the best - quite a bit comprehensive and well structured.
The two details I was looking for - Battery life and Display quality were both covered - no loss of battery life vs. iPad even with the great performance boost and Display isn't as good for $800 tablet.
Then there is attention to detail - the power adapter tip is very tiny and likely prone to easy breakage which would mean replacing entire power adapter.
There is a section for content transfer - quite useful to know that they switched to MTP which means no software requirement for Windows users to sync content but Mac users need to download an app for that.
- saturdaysaint 16y agoI've heard that complaint about the power adapter a few times, but I've had no issues with the similar power adapter tip on my first generation Kindle in several years of use.
- warfangle 16y agoAny idea why people aren't building inductive charging into their devices yet? The tech has been around for years, and the only people using it are supplying special cases for your devices to make the darn stuff work.
- blinkingled 16y agoSpeaking of which my Palm Pre II came with inductive back by default - just had to get the Touchstone charger and its charging inductively on my desk :) Once Touchpad is out that will be the second device - strange though that it hasn't become THE way to charge.
- prewett 16y agoI can't imagine that the efficiency is all that good. (I kind of hope this doesn't take off--it isn't like it is easy to meet our electrical needs today, so I don't see any need to add more inefficiencies) Plus, inductive charging implies changing electric fields, which implies magnetic fields, which might do nasty things if there is a hard drive nearby
