I am new to this and want to invest in an Android Tablet.
There seems to be a wide range of Android platforms currently on offer.
eg, I am looking at a Lenovo Android PC with the following specs
Series
THINKPAD TABLET
Operating System Android 3.1 Honeycomb
CPU NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 (1GHz)
Memory 1024 MB (1 x 1024 MB) DDR2 SDRAM (800 MHz)
Hard Drive 16GB Flash Storage
Display 10.1" WXGA (1280x800 Resolution)
Display Type AntiGlare Gloss Gorilla Glass LED Backlight MultiTouch
Graphics NVIDIA ULP (Ultra-low power) GeForce Graphics
Wireless 802.11b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0
Webcam 2.0M (In) + 5.0M (Out)
Expansion Slots 3 in 1 Card Reader (MMC/SD/SDHC)
I/O Ports 1 USB 2.0, 1 micro-USB 2.0 (power/charging) mini-HDMI, headphone/mic combo, dock connector
Pointing Device/s Digital Pen
Battery 2-Cell Lithium Polymer
Power 10W AC Adapter
Dimensions 26.04 W x 18.17 D x 1.45 H cm
Weight 740 g
Apart from running 3.1, the machine is exactly what I need -
Bluetooth (for bar code scanning)
Gorilla Glass (for robustness)
Anti-Glare (working under lights)
I have noticed many machines with run Android 4.1
Am I better to buy a 4.1 machine ?
How does the 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 version interact with Basic4Android
Is there a "Best" Machine (for Basic4Android) - I need at least 10" screen ?
