AirPad claims to be the best 7" under $200
This actually looks like a good deal for $200. The only thing I don't like is the low screen res. But the rest looks good for the price. Very comparable to the nook($250) in terms of in CPU/RAM. However the screen is not as nice but in exchange you get more hardware.

That's a really nice looking little device. Very tempting, to say the least.

I sincerly hope they sell a ton of them, and the big guys take notice. So far the only one in this space has been Nook Color, and after all, to the Samsungs and Motorolas of the world, those are ereaders, not tablets.
They need to realize that competing in Apple's space/price point is a non starter. |

Looks great - if they ever ship internationally, I'll have one.

800X480 kills it for me. I'd rather get the Vizio Tablet for $289.

I understand, but here's the thing. We wanted to make a fast, stable, functional tablet under $200. The lcd and touch screen quality on the Airpad is really nice and the Rockchip 2918 at 800x480 is really fast. It's ok at 1024x600, but at the lower resolution it's speedy. All those existing Android market existing games and apps scale really well, because they don't have to scale. We evaluated higher res screen options, but felt 800x480 gives more bang for the buck. I feel for you though, I run dual 2560x1600 30" on my desktop.

I'm looking forward to seeing some videos of this; especially being used as an ereader.

Welcome to mobile read.

Granted I don't know what degree of performance differences you are referring to but my nook running 1.2GHz(0verclocked) 1024x600 is snappy enough. If I was given a choice between speed increase or resolution increase I would always chose screen resolution every time. Never the less for the price it's a nice piece of hardware. One thing that was not on the spec sheet was the screen protection. Does this have gorilla glass or something equivalent? |
