MSI Shows Off 10-inch Android Tablet with Tegra 2

[citation][nom]fulle[/nom]Good fucking luck trying to run Photoshop with an Atom processor, low RAM, no keyboard, and a cheap touchscreen designed for icon presses with a finger.[/citation]
For a start running slow is better than not running at all.
Second you have no idea about performance, which is why we need benchmarks.
Lastly until you have used this device for editting photos by touchscreen you have no idea what you are talking about, and seeing as no-one has done this yet as the iPad and Android machines dont install Photoshop you will have difficulty getting anyone elses expert opinion.

Simple answer is wait until all 3 platforms are released, try each of them, then make an informed decision. Until then it is only opinion not fact.

But one thing I do know is that even after all 3 are released I will not be able to install my copy of Photoshop on Android or Apple.

If you're thinking about installing Photoshop on a tablet computer, you're missing the whole point of this form factor. You're not going to be doing hardcore photo editing, video editing, or anything as intensive as that. This is a form factor designed to target a huge percentage of how people use computers: casually. Tablets are to pop out quickly to show some pictures or online video, watch a TV show, read and respond to email, keep up to date on blogs and news, read an eBook, simple, day-to-day tasks like that. Possibly even make a video chat call (skype, Google video chat, etc) The same types of things you would love to be able to do on your Android or iPhone, but would be a much more enjoyable on a larger screen.

Anything more intensive than that, you're going to pull out your laptop or desktop. Am I wrong about this people? This is a form factor to bridge the gap between tiny smartphones and your full size desktop/laptop.

interesting, but what would I do with such a device? Better than the Ipad in any case.

IMHO, pads are all about viewing media content and perhaps lightweight apps, otherwise just go with a netbook. I'd prefer it have an open or semi-open platform like Android that has an app store. I like the price. The only downside I see with this pad is the screen res -they really should have hit at least 1024x768 to match the iPad.

From what I've seen of the Tegra2's specs it looks like it might have some decent graphics performance. I'd really like to see a pad with Intel Atom z6xx processor as the graphics performance is suppose to be twice that of the Tegra2. I'm hopeful it might be the first Atom processor with some decent "oomph!".

However, I'm also keeping an eye on Freescale's Tablet. At ~$200 price point it might be great as an eReader. And if they support Android it might get some access to apps and maybe eventually Flash support (crossing fingers).
