Guest Bisto321 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 im sorry but i think ull find if you do your research google have said that android isnt meant for the tablet. and chrome os is sighted as being the os of choice. did you click on the link I included? - Show me your research and I will show you mine Google CEO: Android Is for Touch, Chrome OS Is for Keyboards Google CEO Eric Schmidt has finally made it clear what differentiates Google’s Android OS from the soon-to-be-released Chrome OS: keyboards. That’s a rather simplified expression of the bigger picture, but ultimately, Google (Google) sees Chrome OS as the operating system for traditional computers, such as PCs, netbooks and laptops, which may include touch interfaces but always include keyboards; and the company sees Android (Android) as an operating system best suited to mobile devices, which may include keyboards but almost always include touch interfaces. What does your research show? gis a look - I know the internet is not always a solid source, but that is from the CEO and is reported elsewhere too. Looks Black and White to me!

Guest removed-14 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sound like there are 2 happy owners and one unhappy one so far?! I still REALLY want one! I'm really pleased. From the immediate disappointment that people showed with the Folio I was worried this would be the same. Unless my expectation levels are way lower than those people, this is worth the price tag for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SilentMobius Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Portrait viewing angle test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yx566kBm4M Looks worse when you go right in this instance. Thanks tonyyeb, looks much better than the Folio, though it does blank out pretty quickly as you move to the right there. When in portrait if you're looking straight on do you get and dissonance between what each eye sees? I found reading webpages in portrait impossible on the folio due to that dissonance. Anyone else any opinions. Hmm, did someone say that mouse/keyboard didn't work? What about USB thumb drives? I guess we need to be sure USB host mode is possible, thats quite a big one. Has anyone tested Bluetooth HID? (like the Apple BT keyboards for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TylerDurdenK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 The vega was advertised as having a 6.5hour battery life when playing 1080p video. What kind of 1080p file can it play? I've tried MKV but no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
