also don't forget, the $400 asus eee pad transformer is literally flying off the shelves in just about every market it's available - both online and in stores.
Yes I've seen that just hope this time ASUS and used better panels LED/LCD panels than it did in the ASUS Eee PC 10.1" Netbooks. I had mind replaced (after 7 months of lite usage) last year was defective badly. On their expensive of course.

COBY is all metal case and not cheap really only 7" with 720p/1080p and HDMI output for HDTV. Really all Android tablets do the same thing some have larger screens more RAM but they all do the same thing and functions. All suffer from the lag on Animated Live Wallpaper, that's Android Hardware FSB bottleneck issue even on those Tegra2.
