It also has the old icons.

Thats definitely not the same 2.0 that was (is? 2.01) on my Droid, most of the icons are different as well as the tray]]>Dec 20th 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/Dec 20th 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/
Yeah, what is this thing using? There is no Tegra over 600mhz, and all of the current chips are still using the lame old ARM11 architecture instead of the newer Cortex-A8/Cortex-A9. Considering the fact that you never hear of a 1000Mhz ARM11, I'd imagine this new "Tegra T20" must be a next-generation "Tegra 2" and uses a dual-core Cortex-A9...]]>Dec 20th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/If this is the Tegra 2, then, THIS IS THE REAL NEWS, and not the fugly hardware demoed above.]]>Dec 20th 2009 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/On the (http://www.nvidia.com/page/handheld.html) page under additional info it has a link to a "Tegra 250"(Not sure if anybody has seen this yet..) although it 404's.

I have a great respect for Google's Android OS, but that's an awful lot of 'nothing' space around that screen.]]>Dec 20th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/Dec 20th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/
It "looks" like a mobile phone version plunked onto a tablet. what with the icons being so small and spaced so far apart.

yes, i know it's changed for "x" number of reasons. It just looks a little sloppy. now, if they gave it a properly suited interface. I'm all for it.]]>Dec 20th 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/

Yes try and get your tablet out and have some sort of bragging rights etc...

But simply put, no one will care until its got Cupertino's stamp all over it]]>Dec 20th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/Well, considering the fact that this device puts a hurt on the eye, and that it's running an OS that was designed for phones, I dont really see whats there to brag about.
Now, I'm no fanboy, but I'm quite sure that when Cupertino rolls something out, it'll be a little more.....better.
so, to sum up - MORE BETTER PLEASE!]]>Dec 20th 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/Never heard of that chip before, anyone has some info ?]]>Dec 20th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/
I have the same question. Is it a mislabeled APX 2500 tegra (but those are only 1 GHz) or is it the first look at the ARM Cortex based Tegra rumoured to be coming at CES?]]>Dec 20th 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/icd-ultra-android-tablet-hands-on/

It's impossible with x86 and a 12 inch screen. The crunchpad/joojoo missed a big opportunity being a web only device.
