When a tablet comes out with 2.2 then the latest version will be 3.0 or something and nobody will want it. I think having 2.1 on a tablet at this point is impressive. ]]>Jun 10th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/looking forward to ios4 on my phone AND tablet this summer. ]]>Jun 10th 2010 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/
Also it has better light-sensing screen brightness, which means it works outside without reaching for the brightness-boost. This is something that I haven't really seen reported anyway, but it's a good fix.

WiFi + USB tethering (without rooting) is also a winner.

Flash is nice too.]]>Jun 10th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 11th 2010 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/

YEAH it's a great device. It ticks all my criteria, but I cannot help but voice my opinion that certain improvements could be made

1: Make sure the screen is non-glossy / anti-glare / outdoor friendly PLEASE!!
2: Make sure the battery has as much charge as possible (battery time) if you haven't done so
3: Make it a 720p screen for High Def content even if it is TFT-LCD
4: Keep it competitively priced
5: Add in a full USB (with host) instead of miniUSB, so many USB devices can be supported like flash drives, foot warmers etc etc
6: Place the two opposite speakers on the bezel sides so music hits you directly.
7: Polish up the design (for instance the back panel and physical buttons)

Other than those (and Froyo which prob. comes later) it's the perfect Tablet.]]>Jun 10th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/After studying the keybaord the keys are OVER an inch wide each!]]>Jun 10th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/Jun 10th 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/malatas-smb-a1011-is-the-10-inch-android-tablet-we-really-want/

Why would that be the case? There are more than a few things I would connect too it and like I said somewhere else the future of these things are in places you don't need a keyboard or using a laptop/netbook is cumbersome, thing sporting events.

You can use the USB Port for a TV Tuner for example.
