Update: Live testing is over. Videos are available here.
A few days ago on UMPCPortal I wrote about the differences between smart devices and netbooks. Tonight, I put one of the latest and more productivitiy-angled solutions to the test.
Tegra2 testing begins tonight because within the next few hours I expect the AC100 to be delivered.
The Toshiba AC100 is the first Tegra2 device to hit outside Japan and only the second true smartbook to hit any global market. We’ve already reviewed the Airlife 100 so now its time to see if Toshiba and Tegra can bring anything new to the table.
Oh, and of course we’ll be running an Email Notification Rave so bring a few beers and join in. “‘Here come the emails!”
Live VIDEO Q&A and chat session on Carrypad.com/live tonight at 2200 Berlin time (1600 New York, see other locations. Approx 11 hours from the time of this post.)
JKKMobile will join to help moderate this independant review session.
We’re sorry for the late notice but with IFA creeping up on us it’s now or never! We hope you can drop in. (parts of the session will be recorded.)

I’m interested in seeing how useful this thing actually is. The hardware seems impressive but Android on something other than a smart phone doesn’t seem like a good idea. Especially if it’s trying to compete with x86 based netbooks and UMPCs.
Does Toshiba’s Android build even make full use of the Tegra2 platform? For example, 1080p H.264 video playback in various containers like .mp4, .mkv and Adobe Flash with embedded soft subtitles and 3D graphics.
This thing is probably better off running Ubuntu or some other notebook/desktop based Linux OS.

No touchscreen and tainted OS. Only pro is HDMI.

It better be cheap and have a damn good battery life. Or else no one will want one.
