well I just got my Acer Iconia 501 3g tablet. a rivael of the apple ipad 1 and 2. God dam its so much more then the apple ipad! The honeycomb Andorid system rocks. Some highlights of the Iconia are: Nevidia Tegra chip - allows awsome games and display. true multitasking with web browser having tabs (tabs load while your are on a different page) and runs flash switching between apps and websites with no problems or lag Great Widgets and home screen customization. HDIM output USB input I will list apps and more details as i go along.
So I have been hooked on this Tablet more so than the iPad maily because I cant get over how good the graphics are on this unit. I have been playing the free game that came with it: Need for Speed Shift HD. Check out the game play video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnB5CfAsnZo The game has many features like the other NFS titles, eg: new cars, upgrades, styleing and paint jobs. The camera on the device is not the best but it good for taking quick shots and video on the go. Much the same to the ipad. I installed skype on it last night and im going to give it a go to see how well it works with the front camera. two other cool apps that i have installed on the Acer are: File Manager HD: which allows a windows exploror view of your storage. At this stage it does not suport SD cards or USB. but it can do Network drives to servers using Authentication ( Big Pluss for that feature) oh and its free And live backgrounds: Ice Galaxy, a moving background that looks moves in the background of the main screen much like the Android phones.
Okay I have been hooked on the Acer tablet, I have just bought my first app off the market, for $3 AUD I bought AirAttck HD, you can get the App on the IPad too. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ArtInGames.AirAttackHD Its a fantastic game, it reminds me a lot of the old school raiden game. Not at good as raiden as its one of the best games ever made.... FYI I am talking about this raiden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raiden_Fighters_Jet The other good apps that i have installed this week are Teamviewer: so dam good, I can remote to my pc from anyware, and its so dam easy. Its easy to switch between screens on the remote computer, and good mouse movment and controll over the pc. Im giving it 5 stars Robotek HD: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.hexage.robotek.hd&feature=search_result with this game my eyes lit up but once i started playing was disapointed. The game runs too much on chance and it feels like the AI is always cheating. The design, sounds and music are all fantastic but the gameplay is crap. The basics of the game are 3 selections: get bots , defend or attack. Once you select you click go and 3 wheels go around like on a pokies machine. You hit stop trying to get 3 in a row if you get 3 in a row you get a strong bot/defence/attack move and you get another go at spinning the wheels. The Problem is the AI always gets 3 in a row when it starts loosing. The game wants you to make in game purchse of addons to help you battle the oppnent better. Im giving this game 2 stars out of 5. In the next few weeks i will buying the tegra games that use the Tegra chipset to the fullest. I still choosing which game to buy: Pinball HD Bang Bang Racing THD History Great Battles Medieval
