[Q] Acer - Iconia Tablet comes out next Sunday; will you give in and get it?

---

With no release date in sight for the release here in the US, will you just give in and get the Acer? The specs are pretty much for the most part identical but you'll have to shell out $50 more @ $449. Good thing is that you'll have a tablet real soon. One thing I can think off that will slow my purchase of the acer is the development and support for the tablet by devs. Will devs really buy it and provide roms and tweaks for it?

Assuming Amazon, who takes anything back within 30 days, carries the Acer and there are no release date updates from Asus by then, I'll probably pick it up as a temporary solution.

I wouldn't count anybody out at this point. The Transformer looks awesome if it comes out with all the goodies for $399, but there's a lot of speculation on that point.

A few things I DO like about the Acer is:
Full size USB port
1080p HDMI output
Dolby Mobile sound (supposed to be the best sounding tablet...I dunno).

I'm hoping Asus gets it's crap together and gives us a date tomorrow with preorders via Amazon.

No

I agree. I might just end up giving the Iconia a chance but first I'd like to play with a unit. IMHO the Transformer looks way nicer and the dock just adds the icing to the cake but Asus, when's the party??? If the release date isn't released in a week and I like the Iconia then Acer will get my money.

Actually it's Best Buy that has the pre-order and I think they have a 14 day return policy. So at least you can use it for 14 days then return it.

I have stated a few times that I will at least heavily consider it. If I find out that the tablet had gorilla glass after all, it would be almost certain.

Gorilla Glass and IPS display. Now part of the must-haves for me.

Where did you find this info?

Ips and gorilla glass was part of the spec list.
