http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/07/odroid-a-tablet-fits-1366-x-768-res-on-a-10-inch-screen-dual-co/

First up is the delightfully dense 1366 x 768 resolution, a rare sight on a 10-inch display, followed by a transparent rear panel that bests anything out on the market right now in terms of sheer sex appeal, and then there are also two MicroSD slots, a HSPA+ modem, HDMI output, a USB 2.0 port, cameras on the front and rear, and a crazy 9000mAh battery. How all this is supposed to only cost $750, we don't know, but then we also don't know how to qualify to get one when it becomes available later this month. So many mysteries. Jump past the break for some hands-on and benchmarking video action.

That will only cost you $750 ....

Sure, this is still dev kit or something for dev only? Don't know if we can buy it later.

Just see that for your own viewing pleasure ... dream it ... and then look into your Xoom .... and think about the price you have paid for it.

... *speechless* ... (about the Xoom price)

Yeah, no Honeycomb ... not sure if it will have update ... or the spec is NOT compliant. Too bad.

Wait, isn't this a Xoom forum? This isn't a general tablet forum. Post this in a general forum or something, not a device specific one. This is no different than you posting this link in a forum for the Nexus One.

This product is a complete dev platform prototype system, nowhere anywhere near anything resembling consumer level sales.

What does this have to do with xoom?
This isn't a "look what I found on the internet" forum.

This highlights the cost of Xoom compare to other device.

Most people think Xoom is too expensive, but how expensive?

Some people want to know how low can the price go?

Then we need other device for comparison.

If you frequent visit into this forum, people often post COMPARISON.
Threads like "Which one to choose, Xoom or Galaxy Tab 10.1?".
There are tens threads like this here, do search.

So yeah, I could change the subject like that.

And btw, not only Xoom owners will go into this specific forum. But people who are thinking or planning to buy one.
People ask advice for comparison. Sometimes we learned that way.
"Don't go with that device because of <technical explanation>"
"Xoom has advantage because of <technical explanation>"

That helps, really helps to make up buying decision.

So yeah, this is for your information only.

If you cannot see that way, then sorry, that's you.

For MODs, feel free to delete, move this thread.

The thing is, different companies have different costs of components, R&D costs, marketing costs, target profit margin, etc. that all factor in to what they charge for a device. You can't just simply add up the cost of 1 processor, 1 stick of ram, etc. etc. and determine how much a piece of hardware should be sold for.

Not to mention that this other device isn't even a consumer device... like I said its a developer prototype being sold in very low quantities no doubt, no one here who is looking to buy a Xoom is comparing it to this in a buying decision. There really isn't much comparison to be made.

And just because its a tablet doesn't mean you should be just posting in a random tablet forum imo. Like I said, a general Android forum would be much more suitable.

This isn't much of a comparison, no honeycomb and the tablet looks like a brick. Not really in the same league, imo.

This is a reference platform. The design (or no design) is ugly, the thing is thick as hell, and there is no tablet UI on it. This thing is built for developers and other manufacturer as a hardware reference. Not intended to be a consumer product.
