is that tablet is just a copy of ACER Iconia A500 or it's my imagination ?

All is exactly similar...
the only difference are the some little "bad" construction choice from ACER have been fixed
Acer release under another brand name... the same tablet version 1.1 ?
weird choice no ?
Packard Bell is a subsidiary of Acer. The name has been used by two different consumer electronics companies. The first was an American radio manufacturer founded in 1926,[1][2] that later became a defense contractor and manufacturer of other consumer electronics, such as television sets. Teledyne acquired the business in 1978. In 1986, investors bought the name for a newly formed personal computer manufacturer. Originally the company produced discount computers in the US and Canada, it later became a leader in the European market. NEC took it over in the late 1990s. Taiwanese Acer acquired it in 2008.[3]
In spite of the similarity of their names, there has never been any corporate connection between the original or later Packard Bell and Hewlett Packard, or Bell System.

from wikipedia...
Packard Bell's PC line in the US back in the late 90s was HORRID. I owned a small PC repair business who did the authorized repair. I don't think they were owned by Acer at that time, but I'm not 100% sure. If Acer is making a tablet and marketing it under their name I doubt it shares any of the nastiness that was their American PC line though. I've had no physical problems with my A500 at all. It will be interesting to see if this is a clone of the A500 how close the hardware is and how well it's supported with Android updates.

oh it's worst than you think.
All the liberty tab hardware is exactly the same as Iconia A500... no difference at all
Software, let say remove some bloatware, add some and remove clearfi... you see what I mean
OS : so far 3.0.1 (no 3.1 yet so far, maybe now will have but even so)
so let say it's an Iconia A500 with a better body
It's fairly old news. In fact, there are already one or two other threads about it already.

So I was just doing some research and it seems that 3.0 HoneyComb is just going to be for tablets. So my question is since it will be released for the tablets is there anyway to take the os to make a phone version or is this not possible. I know all this is premature as most phones don't even have gingerbread yet but the tabs like the g-slate from lg and the dell coming in Q2 its not that far away. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this topic?

I would imagine a lack of resolution would be the problem or pointlessness in using honeycomb.
If you look at my thread from a week or so ago with the honeycomb and motoxoom preview, a few members mentioned something like that, that some features would make it to a phone version of honeycomb,.... I did some googleing, but couldn't find anything. Fingers crossed though, we live in hope.
Watch the interview with Matias Duarte on Engadget. He says Honeycome is absolutely the future of all Android devices, and it will intelligently scale itself to provide the best experience per form factor.
The idea that it is only for tablets is from a very unclear line in a video that was made to emphasize the benefits of android 3 for tablets (vs anything else that anybody is running on tablets).
I.e., it means that they have added special provisions to make it good on tablets. NOT that they have taken phones out of the picture.

"Earlier this month there was a minor rumor that Dell's 10-inch Android tablet, the one that was previously rumored to be launching this June for $499, may not carry the Streak name.
I heard from a few Dell reps that this wasn't true recently, and now comes more "proof" that the Streak brand will live on. According to an alleged internal document titled "Commercial Tablet Roadmap Summary" and pictured above, the company's data-only Honeycomb tablet will be called the Streak Pro.
The document "confirms" the June 2011 release date we saw before and reveals some additional specs like the presence of the dual-core NVIDIA Tegra T25 processor (the T20 is in the Streak 7), a screen resolution of 1280 x 800, Dell Stage 1.5, two mics, front and rear cameras, and some kind of "enterprise application stack."
While these details are undoubtedly great right now, most of the specs are already available right now too in 10-inch Honeycomb tablets like the Motorola Xoom. Obviously, pricing is going to have to be very competitive for the Streak Pro to make a splash. I paid $590 for my WiFi-only Xoom so if the new Streak's rumored release date is true, then I hope the $499 price is too.
There's no way to know how current the document is (or if it's even legitimate), though, so who knows what the Dell Streak Pro (assuming that's even its real name) will bring to the table."

Win7 on a Tablet is gonna suck. Wait till Win8. By then, Bluestacks should be out and you can have the best of both worlds.
Where do you see anything about WIN7 os?
It will be running Honeycomb.

Glad the Streak name was saved. Opus is ok but "DELL Streak" has more ring to it
Here's a little number I spotted on the BBC web site last night that seems to have slipped the attention of many!
Here's what it says:
The Queen will add the first tablet computer to the Royal Collection when she is presented with a "digital time-capsule" later. The touchscreen device will provide access to videos, photographs and text submitted by participants who have recounted memories from the past 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. 150 gigabytes of data was collected, that is more than can be stored on Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1, so it has been limited to 60 selected entries.

}
These were picked by a panel of judges including the director general of The Royal Photographic Society and the Royal Librarian. Organisers have pledged that the complete library of 80,000 entries will remain available online to all "in perpetuity". It has been called the Diamond (re)Collection.
More than 37,000 people from 66 countries took part in the project, including Olympic "blade runner" athlete Oscar Pistorius and Prince Harry, as well as less famous people. Volunteers were able to submit their memories via a website and app. The most popular occasion turned out to be 2011's Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton which was described by more than 200 people.
Picks uploaded to the tablet computer include:
A former student of Alan Turing remembering the computer pioneer's achievements before his death in 1954.
A teenager delivering a rap about his memories of 2011's London riots.
The BBC presenter George Alagiah telling how he and his family moved from Sri Lanka to Ghana in 1961, before he came to the UK.
"The digital nature of the project required a digital device to present to Her Majesty, and The Queen will be able to press 'play' on the tablet before watching a video of some of the best Jubilee time-capsule entries," said Danny Sriskandarajah, director of the Royal Commonwealth Society charity.
The organisation said it had at one point considered using an Apple iPad, but ultimately opted for Samung's tablet after discussing the project with both firms. The device will be stored at Windsor Castle as part of the Royal Collection. It already includes other digital products - such as PCs and DVDs - as well as art, furniture and other memorabilia spread across 13 residences. It is held in trust by the Sovereign for her successors and the nation.

If this notice is true it will be a shame for Samsung's side. They want to put many smartphones and tablets in the market but they can't update all so they invent stories like these. All my android's equipments are Samsung but Tab Pro will be the last equipment from this brand! And i bealive that are more people thinking like me.

I am also never getting another samsung device...if they tease their customers like this. They must just hate repeat buyers. But really, it they did release the update, it would be throttled down to encourage sales of the newer tabs. This is what I believe they did with kk. Why else would the tab s have no lag, and ours have lag on every screen change with the same hardware? Dirty tricks! I am done.
Device Support 3 years. We have to get at least something

From another chart I've seen, the first batch of Samsung tab getting M will be the Tab A. Yes, not the new 4:3 "flagship" Tab S2, not the older flagships Tab S and TabPRO, not our PRO 8.4 which has a Qualcomm SoC and should be easier to maintain, but the lowly Tab A!
I wonder what had gotten into Samsung these days...

I really don't understand them. It's much more easier have 10 devices and update them than have like 100 devices and TRY to update them. It's a shame!
I am not surprised with lack of Samsung devices selling. First Samsung is expensive, Second they just promises about updates and Third KNOX sux!
These is the main reasons to me to abandon Samsung!
So, as of late, I've been reading up on the whole 'Windows 10 on ARM devices' debacle. I've recently come across an article stating that Qualcomm has partnered with M$ on this project (some time ago, actually), and they're supposed to be releasing Snapdragon 835 based Windows machines later this year.
This got me thinking about what that could potentially mean for us smartphone users. With the release of the DeX station, it opens up a perfect avenue for a full (true) desktop experience built right into our phones. I know this is all wishful thinking at the moment, but I honestly see an opportunity for something amazing (given we have an unlocked bootloader for the Snapdragon variant).
Sorry for the shoddy paragraphs. I've been awake for a good day and a half, and wanted to get people thinking about this before I forgot myself lol. I'll leave a link to one of the articles talking about
SnapWin (idk) below.
