cnet got their hands on an Asus R2H and they published an interesting R2H preview. Honestly, i was expecting a Q1 copy with very little make-up (GPS,camera) but apperantly there are other differences too:
The R2H uses the same size screen (7 inches) and internal components as the Q1, though it’s slightly larger.
Whereas we were fairly underwhelmed by the Samsung Q1, we’re pretty enamoured with the R2H. It has more features and though it’s slightly less portable, we think it’s much more functional. It’s not all good news though — the device has three separate ‘hold’ buttons, none of which actually work.
Still, it’s a very early engineering sample, so we expect Asus to iron out most of the wrinkles before it’s released at the end of August. The R2H should cost £799 — the same price as the Q1. Watch out for a full review in the near future. -RR
Still a very early engineering sample? Are you kidding? We saw early samples about 5 months ago.
