I didn’t think that a hi-resolution display would be a deal-breaker (Corning Glass / Retina display) but it totally, totally matters for daily usage. That’s the other reason I didn’t want to wait for iPad mini, no hi-res display and it may not happen until late next year

Kevin’s point really hits it home: buyer be-aware, in a few weeks the Acer A110 could be a product of regrettable compromises when a better and much less expensive alternate is around the corner.

p.s.- I’m going to bummed if the Nexus price point really drops that low b/c I paid full retail. Sad. =(
Btw, I’ve been an Apple user for over two decades but I’m a fan of the Android platform. For my mobile content consumption, it works fine on my smart phone and tablet (even without an microSD card or HDMI output).

Can you check to see if this new tablet can run apps and store app data on the same card? So far, I have only been able to put pictures/video from camera and music on sd card. Is this an Ice Cream Sandwich limitation?
