We had more trouble with the hotel's WiFi signal than with the tablet, which ably navigated through several pages on Internet Explorer.The android tablet keyboard dock is apparently a work in progress -- several teething issues on this developmental sample (the tablet wobbles a little if you build up any typing steam, while the rear-side clip is apparently a little too good at holding onto the tablet) will be fixed ahead of launch. While it's a relief to see a keyboard larger than the 8-inch tablet itself, this one, like Acer laptops generally, feels a little flimsy and cramped under the fingers. This is arguably preferable to a better-made but smaller keyboard dock, but it's still something we hope Acer's going to work on. On the reverse side, there's a hollowed-out space that fits the tablet itself, doubling as a screen-protecting sleeve if needed. The keyboard doesn't use any physical contacts, instead resting in a soft men watches plastic gully and connects to the Iconia W3 through Bluetooth. With no charging input, it's powered by a pair of AAA batteries -- something you'll want to note if you're planning extensive Excel and Word sessions for this smaller tablet when it launches later this month.Microsoft has spent a lot of time and effort trying to get Windows onto smartphones and tablets--so far without a whole lot to show for it. Now several PC companies are trying the opposite approach, taking the Android operating system and porting it to PCs.HP-Slate21The latest example is HP’s Slate 21, which HD media player looks like a standard all-in-one PC with a 21.5-inch (1920x1080) IPS touchscreen, but has the specs of a tablet including Nvidia’s Tegra 4 quad-core processor and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. HP says it has included several features to make Android work better on the desktop including support for up to five Google profiles, drivers for USB peripherals and a software bundled that includes Splashtop for running Windows apps and a productivity suite (Kingsoft Office). The Slate 21 has only 8GB of storage, but there is an SD card slot for expansion and HP says USB flash drives and external hard drives will also work. It will be available starting in September for $400. (My Music Angel colleague, Sean Portnoy, covered the Slate 21 announcement here.) Acer is already selling a similar product, also with a 21.5-inch 1920x1080 touchscreen, but they are marketing it more as a monitor that also happens to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The DA220HQL has a Texas Instruments’ OMAP 4430 dual-core processor, 1GB of memory, 8GB of storage, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and micro-HDMI, micro-USB, and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Though Acer lists the price as $400, the prices I’ve seen online range from $430 to $450.asus-transformer-aio-v1Last week Samsung announced the ATIV Q, a convertible with several unusual features. First, it has a 13.3-inch display with a QHD resolution (3,200 by 1,800 pixels). Second, it runs both Windows 8 and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Finally, with its sliding hinge you can use the ATIV Q as tablet or ultraportable laptop, or flip the screen over to use it in a stand mode like a digital photo frame or portable DVD player. (Samsung is also pitching a “float” mode where the display hovers above the base and keyboard—much like the Acer Aspire R7 with its “ezel” hinge—but I’m not sure this mode will be very practical.) 745TDBanty 130709
