Is dropbox better than SlideMe?
Also when I wrote "Android Market.apk" to 4shared I saw so many android market download links. (Look: http://search.4shared.com/q/1/android%20market.apk) I don't have any Android device, so couldn't test those. I will be very happy if any of them come out to be the real Anroid Market.

Thanks for the update...
Lets hope that January 22nd will be a day to celebrate...
When I picked up my Desire/Eris last week (giving my abused Xperia a break) the Verizon girl was very happy to tell me and my girlfirend that we should get this phone, because we would be getting a 2.0/2.1 update this month!
She said that she recieved this via internal email....
So more Hearsay! lol

I personally can't wait for 2.x but should we stick to 1.5 and see if something like the moto exploit will work on the eris?

That's what I've been waiting to hear news of, but since no one is having any luck with exploits in the current version, who knows, there might be a flaw in the new software somewhere. But, judging from how long we've already been waiting for the software's release, it's highly unlikely.

HTC Legend 2.2 Froyo update offically announced!

Hi All,
Seem HTC has come out and annouced that the Legend will be getting an update in Q3.
pocket-lint.com/news/33997/htc-handsets-froyo-q3-update
looking forward!!!
finally! tks 4 the info
Wicked! Looking forward to an official release and to when it gets rooted.
This has just made my day,fantastic news!
wooooo!!, suppose it will take a bit longer for vodafone to release it though?
I'll be able to renew my contract by November so October is too late for me to enjoy Froyo.
the best part is Q3 technically starts tomorrow.. sooo the update could actually come anytime after tomorrow
looks like the 2 weeks thing is actually starting to pan out
what is Q3 ?
posted again here too:

well conventionally this would around July so , lets say it should be available by end of July, but I guess its up to them.
Still, it's great to have it officially confirmed - finally! The sexiest phone on the market will get even better. Can't wait for app2sd. Yahoo!
3rd quarter of the year, you do the math
Sent from my HTC Legend
Well...if according to the earlier news item when HTC announced that "the Desire will have the update in 2 weeks", then technically the Froyo update will be available this Sunday ... here's me hoping for a nice surprise this weekend!! *fingers crossed*
Also for the person who asked above Q3 means the third quarter of the year, which is the months of July, August and September. So its very possible that we may well see an update for our legend this weekend or early next week.
Can't wait! but does anyone know how to make flash 10.1 work on it when we get froyo?
Wooooot!
This is such good news!! Can't WAIT for Froyo!!!!!
i do hope it is really true, but i would not hold my breath waiting for the update in the next 2 weeks, one quarter is 3 months and it might be available by the end of August. im really looking forward for the update but i wont get my hopes up. hopefully we get it asap though.

You're in Japan as well? I hope it takes only 2 days to get here. The wait is killing me.
Chinese new year starts I think today, if they wait to ship it will be 3 weeks.

I was one of those 50 un-fortunate guys whose shipping date changed from 9th Jan to 15-22 Jan and to 29th Jan, its already 3:00 p.m in U.A.E and no news from NI or factory. I'm not asking for any tracking no, just need a confirmation at moment that its shipped. I really don't know what to talk about this company at the moment. We all have waited so long with false hope. At-least NI don't fails us again.
Well, it is almost 8 pm in China at the moment, so I lost my faith in it at this moment...
why why why???
All i can say is HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

Think positive. Better to get adam in March, than next year.
Honestly, I am ok with it being delayed, but in all honesty its bad form to post a sarcastic blog about how everything is not delayed, and then have it delayed:

Better to have a Xoom in February than an Adam in March.
...all kidding aside, I'm really hoping they got the shipments out and just haven't updated things. With the holidays going in in China right now, it could REALLY slow things down and I'm not interested in waiting any longer.
--edit--
And to the topic of the thread, there hasn't been any change in my order status lately. (Moved from the 9th to the 15th-22nd window to the 29th.)

Yeah, I am not going to wait if my order gets pushed back again. This is getting rediculous. Their are so many great tablets coming out and if I can't get my Adam soon I am going to go else where. Don't get me wrong, I really want the Adam but I feel add if notion ink thinks that everyone is going to put up with continual delays without giving us any info as to what's going on. They should at least give us an update as it is the 29th.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I honestly cannot see us (the 9th > 15th-22nd > 29th club) getting their Adams for at least 2 weeks - Chinese New Year.
A shameful lack of communication from NI and hve you guys realised the "cancel your order has been removed from the NI preorder update page.
I have been a loyal follower for 9 months, I'm just disappointed to say I no longer believe anything posted by Rohan regarding hardware specs and especially shipping dates.
Rohan Shravan just outright refuses to update on shipping which is an enormous worry. The last he said was "2nd and 3rd" batches would ship on time and then slips in the Chinese New Year problem.
I don't even have a pre-order so i am thinking April+ for me(and many others) to have a chance to get one.
I don't envy Mr. Shravan to much, he must be under much stress from all directions.
Well, maybe........
- I read somewhere that a notification will be send only after it arrived in Hong Kong, not out of the fabric
- The cancellation link from our preordersite has been removed
- Rohan said in his blog the 2nd batch will be in time
- There is no statement of delay such as the last delay (12 seconds before end of day)
- Chinese New Year starts on tuesday?
So maybe, just maybe we will get our trackingmail on monday, the last day before Chinese New Year???
Fingers crossed :-o
Leon
I read someone in NotionAddicts requested a cancellation on the shipping date, and was told (s)he could still cancel as his (her) Adam was not shipped.
So, I rather assume the shipment was delayed without any notice / a change in the estimated shipping date on the NI site than get disappointed.
I'm pretty sure Rohan stated on the blog that all the Adams would be shipped out even during the chinese new year. And that a small batch of screens got busted on their way over, but the company that makes them will stay and fix the ones that got broken before they leave for the new year.
Here's his quote taken from the blog:
"The second & third phase of shipments will start on time.
Little bad and good news, one of our shipments for the touch screens got damaged while transportation which is going to effect a fraction of our customers. To make things worse, its New Year in China and every manufacturing plant is closed. But our touch-screen partners, Sinotek (also known as Sintek), will stay open for the Chinese New Year and re-manufacture all the remaining touch screens to deliver. I am making this special note, because we are really overwhelm at their response and want to thank all the employees at their firm who are going to miss their New Year celebrations and home visits."
So have hope! At least you made it into the pre orders. I have to wait until they open it up to the public.

Elocity a10 Release Date:

Well I finally got through SteamTV, and they sent me a email in regards to eLocity a10.
Thank you for your interest in the eLocity A10. The units are expected to reach retail during the last week of May. These got rescheduled because of the issues with Honeycomb which you are well aware of.
Meanwhile, you may also check the FAQs on our website where you might find the answers to your other queries. Please visit http://www.elocitynow.com/support_faqs.shtml
Let us know if you have any other question. Thank you once again. Please do not forget to register your tablet. You can register at http://www.elocitynow.com/registration/index.shtml
Team eLocity
Call us Toll Free at (800)-206-6423 - CT 9am-5pm M-F
So they were having issues, but having the guy from Steamtv say Honeycomb, looks promising. I'm just hoping it can be released by the end of May.
Thanks for the info.
It seems all the tablets are being delayed
Regards.
I'm curious though, after eLocity a10 gets released I wonder if Dexter will make mods for the future on the device.
I don't think elocity will get honeycomb, same reason the A7 cannot get google market, i call a few time and tell them about how they rom handle certain game that need to download file to the sdcard and all they keep telling me is that they will pass it on to they tech...
So what's going on with the A10?
Sent from my Mynized EVo 4G
I'm not sure if it will ever be released. The guy told me from elocity it was suppose to be released at the last week of May, it never came. Looks like they just toss out release dates with nothing to back it up with. I have given up all hopes at this point.

(I almost wet myself last week; the exact same wording about Facebook and a camera I'm interested in.. having this here is brilliant)
except that from facebook and not twitter, and from the official page of ACER MALAYSIA, nothing funny so far.
Anyone who believes anything on twitter or facebook needs their head examined..

I was laughing at his comment, and agreeing with it.

why you are laughthing ?
it's like a mocking not an aggreement...
Guys, lighten up. The initial thread starter clearly states that his info was from Twitter. I've seen enough Tweets from people claiming to be 'in the know' with information that is as far from legit as it's possible to be.
Anyone can start a FB page and claim it's official. The only source that should be taken as gospel is Acer.com.
july ??????? !!!!!!!!
Well I do hope its pushed to the us before then it Acer will be breaking promise of mid to end of June.as many people including myself were told.if I tell my boss im going to be in at 10 I better be there.I know its not far off rather it comes this week or 3 week.don't promise something then put it off longer.But it will come soon if we have to wait longer it better be worth it.or eBay here comes my tab.Maybe

Like tonyblack says, anyone can make a twitty/facebooky page over any subject.
Official logos are available anywhere - you can Google Image search for, FFS.
Just because it's online does not make it true or real - damn, are you adults or what, you should KNOW this already!!

Update confirmed for July 5th from Acer Germany
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14996228#post14996228
Germany gets it on the 5th of July (That's not end of June, acer !!)
From Facebook: "Der Update Cycle beginnt am 5. Juli und funktioniert via FOTA (Footage over the Air)"
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...01&type=1&theater&pid=7634319&id=163627961501
Update for 3.1 already available for download in the development section
Some people take dates way too literally.
The exact quote from Facebook is:
"Great news for the lucky owners of Acer Iconia Tab A500! The update to Android 3.1 will be available at the end of June! Stay tuned for the date of release, in the meantime see the new features in the official Android developers’ blog"
If it's not out between June 25 and 30, are you really going to die? If they release it the first week in July is that really worth your ire?
I have a feeling the update will hit between today and the July 1, but if not I don't think I'll be TOO upset if it lands in July, as long as it lands.
