Looks pretty good to me too, although there are some possible problems with it (issues with upgradability, wifi not 802.11n, touch-screen type, scrolling issues).

One question that I do have is that don't a resolution of 800x400, and FULL HD output (1080P) contradict each other? Or is that 1080P when connected to an external display?

Yes, it's full 1080 output, but of coarse there is no 1080p on the device itself.

If you want my 2C, I'd go for something with an A8 Cortex Processor in it - it'll be a lot more futureproof in terms of Android updates.

It depends on what you want to use it for really. If it's the odd bit of web browsing, eBook reading etc. then it'll do fine - although I must warn you, if it's not from a reputable firm like Dell etc. then the default firmware is likely to be poo.

800Mhz is the bottom line i would say for a tablet. My Blackberry bold runs at 624Mhz(intel xscale) and it is painfully slow. Add the much higher resolution on a tablet and your adding a bunch more work for the processor. Idealy id say try get a Atom or Tegra, not sure on the Cortex A8 as wilderbeast sugegsted as ive no experience with them. I heard the snapdragon family of procesors is quite good, though i think there centered mainly around phones

In conclusion, trust Wilderbeast, he has a site based around android tablets i think... atleast someone here does
