Well if the music and sound effects used is any indication, this is going to be some kind of Transformer...yes...

Lower resolution then the ipad? but isn't it also quite smaller? that hand could hold it in like...one hand...and the ipad is too big for that as far as i know.

Ug, why do companies bother competing with Apple products when the first thing anyone is going to notice about it is that it's smaller and lower res than the iPad. Sure it has flash and a forward facing camera, not that I've ever used the forward facing camera on my EVO, but since it's not an Apple product, you won't be able to walk in to any Best Buy or Costco or any other retailer and pick up a case or a charger or any manner of accessories for it. It's been 3 months since I got my EVO and I'm still waiting for a car mount for it. Not one of those foam claw things, but something that's actually made for it.
I'd really like to see someone announce a tablet that can go toe to toe with the iPad in terms of size, resolution (I'm hoping someone will make a "retina display" tablet so reading comics on it isn't a sub par experience) and importantly, accessories. Everything I've seen announced is smaller and lower res, which is in no way compelling, or is gigantic and "for education only" or over $1000.
