Question 1

Can I use a generic USB to USB extension cord with the ASUS charging cord? Also, anyone try to use a USB external GPS like Coastal Explorers or MS  ?

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't be a problem with a USB extension cord if it's just "straight through" USB. I never tried an external GPS.

Question 2

Can this tablet watch watch tv shows or video's without having tostop all the time

Accepted Answer

I can watch crackle videos, or recorded tv shows (stored in internal/external SD memory). Since it doen not have antenna/cable support I could not tell if you could watch tv shows from your cable/air broadcast.  If you asked me about video performance, it is great, it wll depend on your internet connection to enjoy video streaming without pauses/delays. You are able to watch youtube videos without any issues.Regards

Question 3

the difference between dual core vs quad core

Accepted Answer

A multi-core chip can execute multiple instructions at the same time.Dual cores have two cores, and quad cores have four. All the cores are on the same chip though. So, they share the same memory, and data path to the motherboard.So, a quad core chip may be able to execute the instructions four times faster, but that doesn't mean it can receive instructions from ram four times faster.Also, the faster a CPU is, the hotter it gets. Just because the CPU is a quad core doesn't mean it was set to run at the same gigahertz.Consider a manufacturer that wants to sell a 4 gigahertz chip, but the core keeps melting. One could sell a Quad core chip with each core set to 1 or 2 gigahertz and get increased performance, but still be running each core much slower. Therefore the chip no longer melts.Software has to be rewritten to take full advantage of multi-core processors. The operating system might provide a small automatic increase in speed, but you won't see a 4X increase in performance simply by switching to a quad core.Even if the software is rewritten it might not be 2X, or 4X faster because now the program may have additional instructions added for the sake of figuring out which core is going to access each part of the program. Got this from a google search.....

Question 4

is this equal to an ipad 2

Accepted Answer

I don't have an iPad 2 but I think this is a great tab. I like how it may be 16 gb but I expand memory up to 64gb with an micro Sd which u can't do on an iPad. Plus it comes with asus webstorage which is similar to iCloud. Image quality may not be as precised as iPad 2 but i have no issues with it. For half the price, i highly recommend it. I am able to add my iTunes music on here but it is google play/android operating system.
