[clug] Optus MyTab and Android 2.2

[Brians]

Yes Acer Iconia A500 which has video 1280 x 800, bluetooth, wi-fi,  NO 3G

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/26/acer-iconia-tab-a500-review/

Apparently A501 will have 3G be no delivery date or price in Australia yet.

I understand that Android 3.0 onwards will have a minimum video 
resolution requirement (768??)
and that 2.3 & 3.0 will merge at 3.1

So it may not be possible to upgrade some of the earlier android devices 
to  3.1+

I have a netbook with a video resolution of 1024 x 600 and the 600 is 
just a bit small for some web viewing
