Both TN and IPS are TFT. Thanks for your expert opinion but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Twisted nematic and in plane switching. A big reason why I use a TV for a computer monitor.

Love to see a preview on PA

an unknown brand of processor?.. idk but that doesnt sound promising to hear...if it is overclocked quad core then that will do the trick against Nexus 7...

I just wish it was a dual core processor. The RK3066 seems pretty affordable yet powerful. Same with the Novathor 9540 and up. Much more powerful and usable.

edit: Would love to throw this in a car dash like that one guy with the N7. However at $130-$150, I wouldn't ever feel the need to take it out.

I hope it will be equipped with dual core processor, KAI processors from nvidia.

Question is, does it have micro-sd? I cant tell from the pics.

Probably not, as most tablets don't

mm, not bad. it'll probably have ASUS's custom UI which isn't a bad thing but it's another differentiator from the N7.
