I find <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... tAwHCDq-94" target="_blank">this</a> very exciting. Asus tablet transformer ultrathin ultra low power running android ice cream sandwich on nvidia quad core tegra 3 chip.

This is the future of computing, not the power hungry boxes under our desks. Intel and microsoft must be working very hard to equal this kind of product.

This chip will find its way into smartphones too I expect soon.

Power whilst sipping very little juice.

So, edit office docs, net for shopping, full flash support, very capable 3d graphics for games, silky smooth 1080p playback on screen or tv, long battery life.

Whats not to like?

I've got the Xoom, ncie device tbh, cant see the use of the Tegra3 units, yes they might be faster but really, the Tegra2/250 is plenty fast enough..
ICS is more interesting than the hardware..

Problem is that the market is being saturated with cheap low-spec Android Tablets with older ROM's. People were blinkered enough to buy Kindles and the like, (a device with limited capability) will they recognise that cost-effective doesn't mean cheap? Will quality Tablet vendors put in the effort to draw in those blinkered?
