    putting the ics on the 7.0 will be like a test run before they put it on their flagship

    Besides ICS, someone please explain to me the major difference between this tablet and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus? In fact the 7.0 Plus is slightly thinner, has a slightly faster processor (1.2GHz) and has a higher resolution front facing camera.

    For a company that is doing so well with smartphones it is amazing how incompetent they are with tablets … and this shows that their cluelessness continues unabated …

      Asus 7″ quad core $250. as much as I love Samsung products, they need to do better with pricing and stop releasing so many devices that are essentially the same device with only slightly different specs.

        Don’t believe Asus pricing before it actually ships at the promised price. Asus announced netbooks for $199 in 2007 and still today their cheapest netbooks are $299. Asus announced a $499 Transformer Prime and the one that has been mostly in stock is only the $599 and with the keyboard dock it’s upwards $800 with taxes.

    The 7 Plus ain’t being sold in Scandinavia – at least not in Denmark. Looks like this new Tab 2 – 7-inch will be.

    Why bother listing other countries pricing when it’s coming to the U.K. first ? Also it looks really over priced if conversion rates are to be believed!!! This should cost no more than 200 GBP, any more then why bother competitors have cheaper…
