Im looking for a good Tablet thats not one of the budget tablets because i do want to have full acess to android market and watching films, using other utility and organizational software (all my favorit apps on my ipad are available for android too)
So the question i have is for the things i need and reading wich is a better device the Acer Iconia Tab A100 7" with Honneycomb3.2 OR the HTC Flyer tablet 7" with Gingerbread 2.3.4 (and honneycomb in beta) im not a person who likes to root or hack.. i want something thats good out of the box is one or the other more stable or have app restrictions or battery life issue or wifi issues?
Thank you for any advice or experiences you may have with these devices.  |
I may be over-critical here. But to me, one of the improvements of Honeycomb over Gingerbread is rotating the capacitive buttons according to the alignment of the tablet.
Meaning: The capacitive buttons aren't fixed to a specific bezel but follow your holding position.
As far as I know, the buttons on HTC flyer are fixed. So, even when updated to Honeycomb, the buttons always would remain in the same position.
This might not be bothering you, but to me this always was one of the painpoints of the Gingerbread units.
Personally, I wouldn't go for such a compromise update, but only go for a "real" Honeycomb tablet.
BTW: Maybe you found a cheap source. But typically, HTC flyer still is expensive and you should be able to get, for example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab series (10.1", 8.9" and soon 7.7" and 7") for about the same price.
