I'll wait for an ASUS Transfer-esque table that dualboots ICS and windows 8, now THAT will be awesome. But even Android 3 and Windows 7 would have been fine, ICS and windows 7 would have been great. At that price I wouldn't expect any less than ICS
I bought one Tegra 2 10S viewsonic, and it was the absolutely worst, gutless, atrocious tablet with an unusable (viewing and touch) screen I have ever seen on any product in my life. heck, even a first gen apple Newton has a better screen then it had. never ever ever again veiwsonic, your tablets are atrocious.
iPads are way too limited IMO. I prefer standard Android tablets by far. Plus iPads are a rip-off price/perf.
