I agree with you about the Atom 1.6 though.

Well specifically Android doesn't perfectly follow the linux development route and has branched of from the main linux family tree. Its also missing some of the underworkings of linux distributions. Something that can compile in Ubuntu won't in Android.

IMHO choosing for an ATOM/windows combo is not a very good idea on a tablet but the least you can do is taking windows 7.

Also, call me when they make a decent performing full desktop windows tablet for $200 or less.

i.MX51 appears to be Cortex A8 if I looked it up correctly, so last year's news (don't get me wrong I'm sure this is more efficient and better integrated and whatever, but as for the core processor, still kind of slow for something larger than a phone). Not surprising for a $200 tablet but not something you'd really want in a netbook-equivalent. (Personally, I also think a 'keyboard' is something you'd really want in a netbook-equivalent, but obviously people think there's some kind of a market for all the crazy tablet stuff.)]]>Mar 9th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/freescales-7-inch-tablet-runs-android-chrome-os-or-linux-cost/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/freescales-7-inch-tablet-runs-android-chrome-os-or-linux-cost/I hate to admit it but I think it looks cool.
