looking at the acer iconic looks very nice, but no IPS screen, and shorter batter life

however i do like the idea of Windows 7 on there, but it looks like that increases the price by $100






Also the eee pad TF101, not even released in NA yet, has been rooted maybe we can put w7 on this thing afterall

If your refering to windows phone 7 then maybe....but windows 7 (PC) will never make it onto a tegra 2 device. They aren't the same architechture.

let's hope the 16gb stays @ that price when it's actually released.

just looking at the specs of the GPU which is a 1ghz Nvidia Tegra 2, WOW basically on level with some 5 year old console games - in a tablet:

it runs unreal engine 2 this smoothly:



some of these are potentially able to run on it then:

in other news, on the EEE pad website, if you go and click the Download tab, that is the source code for Honeycomb 3.0 which google hasnt even officially released yet

I believe Thaco is referring to the Acer iconia W500 tablet, it does in fact run a PC version of windows 7. I haven't looked at the specs but it would be safe to assume it uses a x86 based processor.

No. No, it's not. It's their kernel sources and that's all.

correct.


however i think the w500 is AMD based, so that could be why it can run it.

I read the artical and have been following the news. That is a build of windows 8. Not 7. So my point still stands. You wont see windows 7 on a tegra 2 chip.

It is exciting however, owning an atrix, it would be fanfreakingtastic to have a windows OS on the webtop partition. VCDS from my cell phone makes me hard in the pants.

Is there a wireless connector now to skip USB?

My old netbook is now strictly for running VCDS.

No not specifically for VCDS, however....there is a few mobile apps out there that use OBDII to perform some none vagcom specific functions and are wireless/bt.

But most new smartphones have USB host capabilities. There will be some driver hurtles but still within reach now. Its a lot more likely then rosstech making a mobile platform specific app.

I would seriously give a testicle (or...god forbid, switch to an iphone again) if i could use VCDS from my smartphone.

EDIT: Steering more OT, rosstech is currently working on a web application of VCDS that they are pushing to be used for mobile devices accross all applications but i dont know much about it.

I WANT IT NOW!!!!


Stupid delays

This thing is worse than crack, i am almost tempted to drive the US to buy it at the end of the month if there's no Canadian info announced soon.

Yup, I wanted one for my trip, but couldn't risk the delays anymore so I bought a 64gb 3G iPad instead from a friend. Bummer I was looking forward to the ASUS tablet.

Read a review saying the OS was not as response as iOS. I think I'll have to try before I buy.

it's a first version release of an OS, you cant expect it to be perfect and compete with apple who has been in the tablet market for 2 years now. It's so in demand, i don't think you'll have a chance to "try it" before you buy it, they'll be gone before they hit the shelf.
