Eerste 7” Android 3.2 tablet uitgebracht
Joanna Stern, This is My Next:
It’s on the software side of things where my concerns are starting to mount. Acer hasn’t done anything too drastic on top of Honeycomb 3.2 (there are a few added widgets and apps), but the tablet seems a tad sluggish when navigating in portrait mode and a number of apps keep crashing.
I was excited to take Android 3.2 for a spin on a 7-inch tab, but then the bugs came for it like spilled Kool-Aid at a picnic. I had a lot of force closes, which is never a good thing. Apps that should have worked, didn’t, and I encountered weird anomalies with programs misreading the accelerometer and/or the touch screen. There’s a lot of good in Honeycomb, but the glitches are casting a big shadow.
It’s worth noting that of the five randomly chosen tablet-optimized apps I loaded, only one didn’t give me one of Android’s fabled “Force Close” errors. This, coupled with my experience with the Kindle app, makes me wonder about Android 3.2’s stability.
Klinkt veelbelovend! We’ll see.
