I want to wait for the Jetbook mini (which I should get before the end of the week) to make a comparison of the PB IQ 701, the JB mini, the Ematic eBook Reader and my good old Nokia N800 Internet tablet. Each in their own way are pretty good, I think.
But Android? That is a big disappointment to me. I was expecting GNU/Linux on "Google steroids" and instead what I got is an wannabe iOS. And now that Nokia is dumping Meego for, of all things, Windoze, I am rather discouraged. Maemo OS2008 was such a nice OS, and it looks like the corporate world simply never saw it this way  |
isn't that running Android 2.2 though? A far cry from 3.0 from what I've read. It seems 2.2 needs a pretty hefty wrapper around it to make it a reasonable tablet OS. And while PB is a nice company they seem to have been focused elsewhere with their resources since the merger/partnering/whateverthehellitwas last year. I love my 360 but am not tempted enough with their other devices yet though that 701 does look nice as a pocket device.
