  • The main criticism of Honeycomb we had about all the Android tablets we've seen recently are the limited selection of apps - just over 460 Honeycomb apps - with some popular ones that haven't been optimised such as Facebook and Twitter. Otherwise it's qui...

  • Integra un puerto USB para sincronizar archivos y cámara de 5 megapixeles con flash LED, además de una salida HDMI para ver el contenido del equipo en un televisor HD
  • La carcasa está hecha de un plástico poco resistente; no cuenta con 3G para navegar por Internet ni reproduce todos los formatos de video
  • Dispositivo de precio accesible que integra el sistema operativo Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). Justa para los que están buscando un equipo intuitivo y fácil de personalizar con diferentes fondos de pantalla y widgets. Posibilita reproducir películas y video...
