[quote] So what’s Tegra Note?
It’s a complete tablet platform, designed by NVIDIA and brought to market by our partners.
It embodies the NVIDIA brand — from our hardware and software (right down to OTA updates), to our industrial design, accessories and network of partners in game development.
It elevates the abilities of our partners, so they can provide tablets packed with innovation and features at prices they may not have been able to deliver on their own. In turn, NVIDIA gains access to their deep sales and distribution expertise in regions worldwide.
[b] And it starts at a suggested retail price of $199[/b]. That will help many more people experience the new technologies going into Tegra Note, including its 100 percent Android OS.[/quote]
Specs:

[b]Groundbreaking camera[/b] — The camera uses Tegra 4’s processing power and Chimera computational photography architecture to deliver stunning new features.
[b]Tegra Note also brings SmugMug’s Camera Awesome app[/b] — one of the top camera apps on iOS — to Android. Camera Awesome delivers exclusive Tegra 4 features like tap-to-track and 100 fps video with slow-motion playback.

[b]Accessories galore[/b] — An intelligent slide cover flips and bends to support and cover the tablet. It also lets the tablet be set up in three distinct positions using built-in magnets for added flexibility.
The DirectStylus Pro Pack enables a variety of writing styles with interchangeable tips. And Bluetooth capabilities turn the tablet into a game controller.

A little update, this is apparently also made by EVGA.

Well seeing I want to update my Nexus 7 I might have to consider this. Having it come with a stylus is a nice touch too for a cheap drawing tablet.
i was thinking about buying a tablet recently, maybe i'll look into getting this one.
The screen is only 1280x800.
For $30 more you can get a nexus 7 with a 1920x1200 screen
Android? No thanks

Seems a little pointless on a tablet IMO, the kinds of games that are best suited to touch-screen tablets aren't usually the kinds of games that are graphically demanding.

FPS is bad on a controller
imagine TOUCHSCREEN god damn
touchscreen for me is so lifeless an you can't "Feel" the buttons for games.
then again just put in a keyboard and your good
damn, its as cheap as ps3 in the states

I'll [B]GLADLY [/B]deal with a lower resolution screen if that gives me a dedicated HDMI port and a sd-card slot.
The Nexus 7 (2.0) can burn in hell for all eternity in comparison.
Looks nice for drawing shit on the go.
[QUOTE=kimr120;42233800]Looks nice for drawing shit on the go.[/QUOTE]
It's gonna shit for that.
It's only gonna be good for notes or very rough drafts.
It'll never be wacom cintiq grade, not even remotely.
Seems too good to be true. $199 is a good price.
Will it double as a hotplate?
This looks awesome, but I would never use it. :(
If I want to do something I use my desktop, if I'm away from home, I use my notebook, if I'm on the move I use my smartphone. There isn't a single scenario where a tablet would make sense for me where my notebook doesn't fucking obliterate it in performance, screen size, usability and compatibility and I don't think there is any situation where a notebook is too big to take with me and a tablet isn't.
Get the Note 10.1 if you want a brilliant stylus.
This is good news for us indie game developers too, I am currently developing a mobile game and although we can already do some semi intensive stuff [url=http://i.minus.com/iHe3qOLKMErx6.gif]graphically and gameplay-wise[/url], having support for low-end devices is always a concern and sometimes limit what you can do. This type of product can hep with that.
If it had a higher-res screen, I would've totally considered getting one for class. If it had a 1080p screen, that would've been perfect for my needs. It's too difficult to Remote Desktop with my computer's native resolution of 1080 when the resolution on my phone is so much smaller.

Scaling.
Besides you'd need to squash your face against the screen to read the text displayed at 1080P resolution on a 7" screen.
Native resolution or not.
Comes with a free pair of oven mitts.
Good, now I can spontaneously combust on the go!
