I think you guys will be happy to know that the htc shift will be officially shipped on the 4th of Feb in Taiwan. Other country will follow this time line very closely. Looks like the time line on expansys UK isn't going to be "shift" again......hopefully.
I've seen multiple sources confirming this. looks like the end of the wait is near.
What happened
Its 11 February.. I still don't see the Shift around. What happened? Is it another delay.. I Have a Samsung Q1. The biggest problem I have with it is battery life. I hope this device will deliver 2 hours of usage after 1 month
What you need to do is check the year. When they say Feb 4th, are you sure they meant 2008?
You guys don't like to read news, do you? Try reading the forum first, it's a good start.
I thought there was a competition held by Sony Ericsson for developing the panels and the last entry date was supposed to have been 31st Jan.
I am unable to find any updates on internet or anywhere for the same. Does anyone have any idea on this?
Thanks
The last date for entries was the 31st Jan, and you are expecting announcements four days later???
Thanks for your reply .. I was just looking for an update and not the winners list !

Maybe not an announcement but some form of info would be nice. Since saying that the competition has been extended (which IMO itself proves the general lack of interestin Xperia Panels) there has been no update, no info, not even any hope that the competition is still going let alone that we might get any decent panels out of it. SE payed a shedload to SPB for mobile shell, seems to me they'l have to do it again to get anything worth marketing...
If you bother to read the SE website you'll see winners are to be announced on the 9th Feb.
Also if you click on the Panels button on this page:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/contentawards/nominees/p_nominees2008.jsp you'll see five new panels (although with no direct download links).
they all look a bit **** apart from the sbp travaller what i already have
they finally realized that the panels are a pointless marketing scheme and trashed the whole thing.

w00t!
I was trying to post this, but alas, I'm too new. This is good but expected news, except for those clamouring for it 5 minutes after Google announced it...haha
Just read that too, good news eh?
I also read the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 LE review .... hmmmm.

no doubt! i just hope the update also fixes the "sleep of death", "standby of doom", or "apocalyptic unconsciousness"...whatever you want to call it.
That's more of a .x fix I would presume...Either way, wife loves her transformer and dock!
Yes it will be nice to see 3.1 on this.
I hope this will end the "Where's 3.1? Asus is SCREWING US OVER BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUT RIGHT FREAKING NOW!!! OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!" posts.
All good things come in due time. In the mean time, my TF with the keyboard dock is running just fine!
Is it going to speed things up too? As well as fix some of the bugs...
Really hope its out on june 1st 12:00am lol. Like christmas

Yes it will speed up things. If you read about the xoom, people are saying that with 3.1 everything feels much smoother. Cant wait for this update......

I just want to buy a TF, period.
Good to hear that it will be coming out so soon for the Transformer. Hopefully we will see a lot of people's issues resolved alongside some performance increases.
Good for us!!!!!
Just awesome. From the sound of the Xoom 3.1 users, Honeycomb is more stable than 3.0. This is really the only thing I'm excited about. I can hardly wait!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but the Google translation of the Italian post reads:
We can officially confirm that the update to Android 3.1 will be available for all users of the ASUS Eee Transformer Pad as part of a package of upgrades FOTA (Firmware Over-the-Air). The release date will be announced in early June. Users will receive a notification on their Eee Pad when the upgrade will be available.
As I read it they will be announcing the release date in June, not necessarily releasing it in June.

This seems to be how Asus phrases things. They also said in early April that the US release date would be "announced in late April." Of course, the announcement preceded the actual release by about a week. So, I'm imagining that they'll announce the update pretty much when it's going to be available.

Been on the Xoom forum and they are reporting much better speed with the browsing the net, this is want i am really looking forward too...June cant get here fast enough!!!!
I've been using my Xoom with 3.1 (which I actually haven't returned only so I _could_ try out 3.1) and I can confirm that performance is better. What I really like about the update, however, is the much better multitasking. The expanded recent apps list works well, and it seems like the system handles multitasking better.
An example is Quickoffice. On 3.0.1, Quickoffice will basically lose a document it's editing once it's no longer in the recent apps list. When you click the icon to (re)launch the app, it will sometimes open with the edited document as it was last saved (and without edits made since last being saved) or it will open a blank document. It's a bit random, and Polaris Office is just as bad.
On 3.1, however, apps seem to save their states better and of course they remain in the recent apps list longer (I believe the list holds up to the last 18 apps). I was able to work on a document while switching among many more apps without losing my edits.
So, although it seems to be getting short shrift in all the coverage of 3.1, the improved multitasking is actually one of the more important aspects of the update for me. I really, really can't wait to get it.

So kinda like Apple and their same-day announcements? I can wait. 3.0 is pretty great as it is already.

HAHAH - that one just MADE my day, thank you!!!
(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..
HAHA - I still think that twitter comment was great!

As opposed to reading it elsewhere?
Look, if it's coming from Acer themselves--and it does seem like the FB Acer Malaysia page is legit, I don't see what the hate's all about.

I was laughing at his comment, and agreeing with it.
If you want to believe anything you read, go ahead, it doesn't affect me in the slightest..
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

I was laughing BECAUSE he was mocking.
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)"

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.
Found this article through Android Authority, https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/2...phones-android-8-0-oreo-update-official-list/
It says that Phase 1 of some rollout (Global or China only) of EMUI 8 for the P9 will start on June 30. And it also confirms that the Honor 8 will recieve the update soon, and because we got Nougat at about the same time as the P9 last year, I think that we will also get Oreo at about the same time. So if we're lucky it might start rolling out phase 1 next week. It might still be released in China only but then we shouldn't have to wait much longer before an actual global release.
The only limitation is that it's only going to be for 20000 users in the first phase, but the fact that it will release soon is still good news if true.
French article about it. Says it launches tommorow!

yeah but probably china rollout, the global rollout will surely take a while. Still nice to see that something is happening
Maybe it will not be tomorrow.
Got some info by the French team, it's more complicated to make the update on Honor 8 and they are waiting the info about it.
I'll update when i'll get more about it.
I saw an article that the global rollout starts from tomorrow for a couple of devices. However, it said that for example P9 would get it before Honor 8.
? kids and their articles on the inter webs. I also saw 15 articles that claim Bigfoot is real, Trump is a lizard person, and Tupac is alive.

Are you hinting that Bigfoot isn't real? And that Trump isn't a lizard person?
I have seen Bigfoot and I am positive it exists.
Also, a recent study by the Lizard Person Research Association has shown that Trump is a lizard person with definite evidence.

Trump already has an Android Q then. Lol.
Trump is a lizard person, soI'm confused?
I'm any case, the release version of 520 for a bunch of versions of the non-US Honor 8 it's up in Firmware Finder. They still haven't rolled out the June update that's sitting on the servers in the US, so Good knows when we'll get it here.
Also, I guess tech support still doesn't know what they're talking about, ever?
