Rated 50% by by The Verge (Jul, 2011)The 2 megapixel front-facing imager is as grainy as you'd expect, but the 5 megapixel rear autofocus camera actually takes some pretty decent shots during the day, well-lit and with fairly accurate, pleasing colors.

Released June, 2012
by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)The end result of its thick rounded edges, low 590g weight and textured finish is that this 10in tablet is very comfortable to hold.

“10.1
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 50% by by The Verge (Jul, 2011)The display is moderately bright and readable from any angle so long as glare doesn't get in the way, and responds to touch as quickly as any of its Honeycomb peers, though still well behind the likes of Apple's iPad 2.
10.1”
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Thrive 10" Tablet by Tom-Gray--Tom-Gray (Aug, 2011)Hell, even the keyboard on the display is very nice size for my fat fingers.
AT300 by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)The AT300’s 10.1in screen is fairly typical for a premium tablet, with a 1,280 x 800 resolution and the superb viewing angles IPS brings to the table.
screen resolution
Thrive 10" Tablet by B.-Hines--bwebmasta (Aug, 2011)The screen on the Thrive is capacitive, and at a 1280 resolution it is very vibrant and crisp.

Thrive 10" Tablet by Scott-D.-Espenschied--ScoDal (Sep, 2012)Oh the camera is decent and I don't mind the placement of the front camera even though I saw some complaints about that.
AT300 by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)On an unusual but positive note, both sport their own LED flash, and of course HD video is also on the menu.

Thrive 10" Tablet by TriggerhippY (Nov, 2012)If anything, the ICS update seems to make better use of the Dual Cores in the Nvidia Tegra chip.
