Again, I disagree.
I bought all the angry birds apps, along with tons of other games and the Nvidia Tegra dual core SHINES. Every kid that has played it (I am a administrator at a camp this summer) LOVES IT. They say it rivals their xbox 360 and playstation 3. The Ipad 2 is good, but not THAT good. Sorry. No choppiness here. Check to see if something is draining your memory. Get an app that saves battery and automatically closes programs. What you may not know about the Iconia (and hence most android 3.0 devices) is that it multithreads and all the apps are still running. You have to shut them off to ensure a quality experience.

With the right one it powers ok while it charges, but it doesn't allow system updates until the battery is at 30% charge. > > The main things Chipp said that seemed wrong was about the screen. I've seen colleagues who use their iPad at the default energy saving brightness, they just don't know how amazingly bright the iPad screen can be! I can imagine that if you compare that against the Acer that you might think the Acer was better, but the iPad at it's full brightness makes most Android screens look dull. The Acer isn't dull, but it isn't better than the iPad. > > And the resolution isn't "much" better. The wide screen can be useful when playing Angry Birds Rio levels, but the actual DPI is only 149 versus 132. 132 is already fairly high, and unless I wear reading glasses and try to look for differences, I wouldn't describe the extra 12% as being that much better. > > Playing Rio can get very choppy on the Acer, I'm curious whether the new system update will help that. I'm still only at 19% charge, so it won't let me do the update yet. > > On Aug 2, 2011, at 12:30 AM, J.
