I like android, though it does have its issues and faults. I would love to get some hands on time with the N900 and its OS though. No OS is perfect, but I'm hoping that android will continue to get better.]]>Apr 6th 2010 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
Now this is what the iPad specs sheet should've looked like..]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
I LOVE this tablet competition. Regardless of whoever "wins", I still get the best device. I was leaning towards the iPad (my first Apple device ever) then the Slate specs dropped so I started to shift, now this thing looks awesome too. I'm in f**king consumer heaven!! God bless capitalism. :')]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
I'm an iMac owner and I'm waiting for something to knock Apple down a peg or two. Their quality control is in the pits and they are running on the American Hypedream. If the quality of the products gets better (software aside) then no harm done, but they've been slipping for a couple years and we've been watching (some worshipping). Not this owner. Gemini ftw!]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/

Agreed. With this many companies competing the consumer wins. Fanboyism can go to ****. This is great for the consumer and good for the economy. ]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
Android runs quite ok on 128MB (Samsung Galaxy I7500). Better on 256MB. Everything above 512MB is probably a waste of money since it isn't the bottleneck.]]>Apr 6th 2010 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
That's way more than adequate for a -Tablet- running -Android-. It's not enough for running Windows with PC-spec applications like Photoshop or x86 games, but it's double with a lot of other Android devices have, and they run a web browser just fine...Which is the primary function of this device.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
For reference, the iPad has 256mb of RAM. So far we haven't seen multitasking on it but it seems to do just fine with everything thrown at it so far, including some pretty nice 3D games.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/

All these tablets/slates!
Im in heaven....noone please wake me.



....this is all mainly a response to the iPad though...this pretty much looks like vaporware (vaporware I WANT SO BAD!) with no real product, but hopefully it will come to be..]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/dont hold your breath man, the iPad alone took years for it to come true..no one knows how long Chrome OS will take as of now.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/

40Wh battery? In a tablet... thats nearly the same size battery is in a macbook... if that is true that thing would last like 2-3 DAYS, not to mention weigh over 3 pounds 0_0! I dunno thats just a little too much to believe.

I bet they cut all those specs done to 'typical' specs by the time (if it ever) ships.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Now THIS is what I'm talking about! The HP slate is shit (seriously, why do geeks think it's a good idea to run a desktop OS on a mobile device?) but Android is where it's at.

It's just a Photoshop picture and wishlist spec..
Serious , any company can hype, but please release a real product.

It doesn't run a full operating system in a insy-winsy form factor, which is what made netbooks so popular.

The only advantage of these humongous cellphones is that they'll have around twice the battery life for their weight, but you really have to ask yourself if you really need to work 10 hours at a stretch away from a power jack or if 5 hours is plenty.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/
Thanks Gemini for showing us what the tablet market should and will look like soon. And if nobody can do better than iPad (insert crowd noise) yet keeps products in competition, then I'll go get me a laptop that will be cheaper due to a new market. These tablets are awesome even at their crappiest.]]>Apr 6th 2010 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Apr 6th 2010 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/Until you are running several apps at once.

I only hope that tablets are here to stay and expand the way we consume content AND be productive. HP's slate and iPad seem to have counter design philosophy and fall short in one way or another.

My greviences for the two "other" tablets:
iPad- there is no excuse for lack of expandable storage, HDMI and multitasking.
HP Slate- battery life is poor and it lacks wifi.

Granted these are my annoyances, it would seem as though the Gemini would like us to forget about slates and pads. Bring on android market place and Amazon kindle and ill have zero reason to look back.]]>Apr 6th 2010 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/icds-tegra-2-powered-gemini-is-the-most-feature-complete-tablet/It could be vaporware but then again we could all get lucky and it come out soonish.

My question- is ICD a design company? If so, who would buy the prototype and manufacture it?
