C'mon guys, how are we supposed to take you seriously with comments like this?

So pathetic. You should honestly be embarrassed.

It's odd that they are actively trying to pin down the 'problem' in the most successful phone OS to date, and one that continues to grow in popularity.

I think that articles like this sell ad space, but it also that it would be foolish to base one's opinions on them.

I think the majority are in the UK.

This comment is for the Eee Tab Transformer without the keyboard attachment:
"10hrs 41mins... had wifi on all day (not on standby, it's been connected all that time), been viewing lots of videos, streaming music, games, reading pdfs/comics, lots of multitasking basically, heavy usage, screen has been on at least 9hrs+ and its still got 32% battery left. I'm quite impressed."


And someone was already able to get Super User on the Transformer... Root soon

So I popped in to PC World today and checked out the new iPad2 and some tablets both 10” and 7”.

I really do think that for the above use scenario - in aircraft style cramped seats and a seat back tray - that the iPad/10” size is just not practical. It is cumbersome to remove and replace in a carry bag. If the carry bag is on the tray then the space in which to hold it is much reduced.

A 7” would seem to be the appropriate size in those conditions. But having said that there is no benefit over the Streak for eBook reading, watching YouTube downloads and music listening. Where the 7” comes into its own would be for high definition video watching. Web browsing on the train/plane is not quite here yet.

So I guess my conclusion is that we need a fleet of these things. A 5” in the pocket when moving round, a 7” for long journeys and the sofa and a 10” for the sofa only. That may seem extravagant but the way prices are falling, say £300 each, that is probably not a bad combined deal.

Also I am still to be convinced by the benefits of a tablet greater than 7” when set against the awkward handling. Which brings us back to personal use scenario.

I could be wrong, myself, but the last time I checked I thought Android was increasing in market share and successfully breeding an ecosystem that effectively competes with Apple and Blackberry, and appears to have completely dominated over Windows Mobile and WebOS. Maybe I just don't get it? Clearly, I just don't get paid enough to be as smart as these bloggers.
