For those that don't have access to an Android tablet, here's a video of Opera 11!
http://www.androidcentral.com/androi...pera-mobile-11
Demoed is the Tab 7. It is amazingly smooth with no 'checkerboarding'.
A very impressive build and a solid contender for ultimate mobile browser!

Following up on my post regarding the Samsung possibly bypassing the Tegra 2 for the Mali400 GPU (Exynos 4210), here is a development tablet featuring the new processor:
http://hardkernel.com/
Samsung's chip is quite a performer, and certainly beats the pants off of the current Tegra 2 in GPU performance as suggested by GL Benchmarks. However, this particular device isn't as quick as the SGX543MP in the Apple iPad!
However, it's certainly head and shoulders above the rest of the Android ilk centering around Tegra 2. I bet Samsung is seriously considering leveraging its home-grown chip.

Honeycomb on an overclocked nook runs pretty well!

The animation is a little choppy, but it looks certainly usable!

It seems that the leaked Netflix app is functional on Android.

I expect that this will be shut down soon enough.

It looks as if Sammy is looking to ramp up LCDs with ever increasing pixel-densities, brighter and lower power LCDs, and pen-enabled displays!

GALLERY OF SLIDES: http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsu...-2011/#3995995
It's interesting looking into the future of this company. Samsung, is one of those suppliers whose components can be found in many other devices.
Interestingly, the SoCs of tomorrow will chew through these ultra high-resolution displays with relative ease -- they already can today. Expect resolutions on tablets beyond what we're currently used to seeing on the desktop! Resolutions greater than 1080p are to be expected in a relatively tiny footprint.

Is AVG trying to upsell snake-oil?
AVG, a popular free anti-virus company, is toting their wares on the Android market.

AVGs strategy (at least in the past) is this: give the anti-virus software away for free, then sell an upgrade for added security features. I can't help but feeling that while security is always relevant, may be overkill on this particular platform.
I wouldn't buy it. Android is supposedly very secure and this seems somewhat overkill if even effective.

Hey etuoyo,
I just had an idea. What about "The Epic Android Thread"?
Thoughts?

1) Yes this is an Android thread,
2) Yes this is one big fat Android thread,
3) You can let this information wash over you, and in doing so 'clean' yourself, if you so choose. So yes, this can be part of said 'cleaning process.'

Back in the dark days when I was running Windows, I used Anti-virus software due to the known vulnerabilities of the system, yet I never once got a virus. In the end, my personal usage policies were enough protection; eg. multiple firewalls, use only trusted software, use software I'm confident is secure (eg. chrome vs. IE), use few programs, one trusted user (me), etc. While Android is certain to have its vulnerabilities, I'm confident that this system will remain secure in my sober, calculated use.
I personally don't feel that anti-virus software would help me on Linux based Android, based on the way that I am likely to use the software, and what I [think I] know of the system. This is an ignorant viewpoint, I know, though as far as I'm aware, the majority of android attacks are trojan APKs with permission settings that don't seem to make sense (eg. wallpaper that requires access to your contacts).
But perhaps you could offer a compelling reason why anti-virus software should be strongly considered or even a scenario, and I'll reconsider.

I'm betting that it will certainly get a price drop.
EDIT: Take a look a this link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=galax...=shop%3A1&aq=f
One of the Tabs is as low as $380!
Best Buy Verizon Tab for $430
It seems that the prices are quite low.
Interestingly Google Products lists the Verizon Tabs as #1 in mobile phones (ie. the most popular). It is sharing the #1 spot with the Nexus S, the iPhone4, the and the N8-00.
