Comments on: Acer Iconia Tab A500 review: Chubby chassis will have you longing for iPad http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/05/13/acer-iconia-tab-a500-review/ The only tech you need Sun, 25 Nov 2012 16:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anonymous http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/05/13/acer-iconia-tab-a500-review/comment-page-1/#comment-178692 Anonymous Wed, 18 May 2011 07:42:00 +0000 http://electricpig.co.uk/?p=135574#comment-178692 Hi Michael - I'm actually a bloke btw. Reviews are meant to be gut-felt slabs of heart felt opinion, and it's this reviewer's opinion that the iPad is for most people still the only tablet worth getting. Not only is its industrial design far better than its Android rivals (and I am a huge Android fan, lest we go own that tired old road again), but its software is more stable (if not ppwerful) and its app ecoy system far more advanced. Most people don't want the headaches of scouring for Honeycomb tablet opitmised apps - technology is about convenience, not just potential - and nor should they have to. Have you held an Iconia Tab? I've tried every Honeycomb tablet released so far in the UK, and it really is massive compared to the Xoom and Eee Pad Transformer. Hope that helps explain my standpoint. Cheers!

Hope that helps explain my standpoint.

Do we really need 350,000 apps? Do we really need 157 different weather apps all telling you exactly the same forecast? Would you even go through a catalogue of 50,000 apps? People are making a lot of fuss about apps but I don't see it as an issue. What is more with time there will be more and more. Actually, with Android progressively ovetaking iOS in bnumbers, developpers will target Android more and more. And soon you will see Apple ifans complaining that there are too many apps in Adroid and it is a mess! Really? Do we really need 350,000 apps?

I must have it, something  like Amplitube and the Korg apps for ipad2. I think Android tablets will struggle against the ipad due to the Android market not releasing dedicated tablet apps. why not use micro usb sockets for thinness and what are the best Android tablet apps that makes you go wow!
