Yeah thats a big no no ... Only budget tablet manufacturers use less than a 1ghz Cpu now days .. and the only single core cpu that seems to still hold its own with the dual core cpu's is the 1.5ghz snapdragon cpu wich HTC's flyer uses but thats because its 50% faster than most of the dual core cpu's.
To be honest Kobo is selling a tablet thats half the speed with half the storage and half the onboard ram , without the cameras, without the gps, without the built in microphones,without the blutooth without the without the access to the google apps, and without acess to the android market.
The HTC flyer for $69-99 more depending on where your buying it you get access to everything AND have a machine thats twice as good at every single thing the kobo vox does. IMHO its a nobrainer... wait a few more months and either buy the HTC flyer or save longer and get one of the newer better tablets. oh and there is a tablet optimized android 3.2 honneycomb update to the htc flyer thats in beta as i type (the rom has been leaked if your the adventurous type)
