USB port adapter only for 8.9"?

What is the meaning behind this? It sounds like the larger 10.1 tablet is going to miss out on a full size USB port. Maybe the 10.1 has a full size on the tablet itself, and not as an attachment? Can anyone confirm the reasoning for leaving the attachment off the larger version?

This puzzled me too. The USB/SD kit says it's only for the 8.9. But what is the point of even having the SD adapter if the tablet has a micro SD slot?
Only thing that comes to mind so far is that was an old slide and the kit was not compatible with the old Galaxy 10.1? *shrug*

I was thinking this kit provides "USB Host" functionality.
Looking into the presentation below, I could imagine user can attach SD card ... and the tab will be able to read it (USB Host functionality)

Yeah, but in the presentation it states it's only for the 8.9". Does the 10.1" get some love too?

double post, please delete.

I wonder if the 10.1" has a full size SD slot anyway, and it had to be left out of the 8.9 due to space constraints?

That's what I think too. It would be a pretty stupid move to allow it only on the 8.9".
Anyways, Samsung has been pretty horrible with releasing accessories at a reasonable time frame. So yeah....

PC World has a article on the new Tabs and on slide 4 they claim both models have a microSD slot. The pictures shows a microSD slot on top.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/222837/article.html

just curious , anyone have any idea that this adaptor will be coming to the 10.1v (old fat one) ... this problem and the dual antenna , are the only barrier for me to decide buying 10.1v or not , personally i think if the bottom socket is the same (i think u call it 30 pin) , then it would properly fit on the old one , but will the software support it ??

Can the new 8.9 Tab charge by way of micro usb? Thanks

If you listen he says "the Galaxy Tab will INCLUDE a USB kit for connection to cameras, SD cards..." I take that as meaning that it will only be included with the 8.9" not that it will only work with the 8.9".

I hope it's not. I'm not a big fan of 'propriatory' ports.

agreed. i think thats sammy's strategy to make sure people still buy 8.9 version when mostly preferred the bigger screen. its like "you dont have this, but you have that" kinda thing.

[Q] Iconia W500 keyboard?

I haven't seen one in person, but since the design is similar enough, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows if the keyboard unit from the W500 tablet might happen to work with the A500? I can see logic going both ways, but if someone has had the chance to try it out, I'd love to know how it went!

From what I've researched on the W500, the keyboard uses USB, and will not work for the A500.
That was one of the things I was most excited for was the keyboard for this guy. It looks like it hasn't been released, but I'm sure they will end up making one at some point.

i am a little confused i connected my dell keyboard into my A500 and i was able to type with no problem so if the W500 uses a USB keyboard then i would think there should be no reason for it not to work .

For USB, it means that is uses an USB port...
Surely you can use a USB M to F cable or plug your A500 vertically on it...

Well, that photo certainly clears up my questions - I mistakenly assumed that the W500 would use the same dock connector, but they're clearly more different than I anticipated!
Here's hoping that we'll get a similar keyboard setup at some point as an accessory. Until then, there's always bluetooth, which is probably a good enough solution that I won't bother with a specific keyboard if it is released...

It seems that keyboards and other accessories can now be ordered direct from Acer's online store - for those of us in the US anyway. No photos yet. But it appears that the items are available.

A500 Keyboard??
Just saw an interesting post on TechniDroid. Guy claims he spoke to someone at Acer who confirmed there will be a keyboard dock for the A500. Since I'm a newbie on this forum I can't post the link unfortunately.
If you search "Acer to have keyboard dock for a500" it should pop up.

You must not have seen the w500 keyboard if you're asking that question. Look it up and it will become very clear why it wouldn't work on the A500. A sad sad day for us all. I too was looking forward to that keyboard dock with the superior A500.

Sorry for digging up the thread, but Acer now lists the keyboard on their site. It's not a dock, completely separate, but it looks very nice.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7501 vs, P7500

Does somebody knows what the difference between P7501 and P7500 are? As I understand both have UMTS and WIFI? Also rest of spec seems to be the same.
(It is not a mistake P7501! Not P7510)

P7501 is a new model (Name is Galaxy Tab 10.1N)
It was created by Samsung in order to address the issue that previous models could not be sold in certain markets due to lawsuits triggered by Apple.
So far I'm not aware what has changed in detail but I assume the technical specs remain the same. Most likely they only adapted the exterior design.

It has a slightly changed design. The software and the basic hardware are the same.
The speakers a repositioned and the silver-border is also changed (dunno in which way)

It got Android 3.2

Here's a link to it on a German site. It doesn't look that different. I wonder if it's different enough for Apple? Interesting.

May not work on other models out of the box. But with the right kernel, perhaps. In any case, we will probably start seeing more 3.2 ROMs very soon -- even official ones.

If they've done it right, this is exactly the same device as the P7500/P7510 with a slightly different frame and a little glas cut of each side.

it looks the same like this htc device http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/11/...s-image-and-specs-leaked-comes-in-early-2012/

It's up on the Samsung Germany site. 649 Euro for the 32GB 3G. Yikes.

I have one.

I've got one.
It has a slightly different design. But from my experience rooting and flashing works the same. So I don't think there are a lot of differences of the hardware.
See also my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19878585#post19878585

I've got one too.

I recently bought the 10.1N WiFi, the GT7511. It features the same hardware specs as the GT7510 except the design of the frame. The speakers are on the front, the silver frame is much larger than the one of the GT7510. The physical size of the tablet is exactly the same and all accessories released by Samsung until now are compatible with it. I own the keyboard dock and it works like a charm. The tablet fits into a 10.1 leather case without problems.
The software is Android 3.2 with Touchwiz. It features several Samsung Hub Apps (Readers Hub, Social Hub, Music Hub), Pulse News, Samsung Apps Market and Polaris Office.
I hope Samsung will release ICS for this modell, too.

Pre-ordered blue 300 at Amazon, Apr22 delivery. This is the best deal so far, case still looks like spun alum with gps back in the spec. Looks like they corrected the issues for less money. We shall see if Asus did good this time.

I will wait for reviews before ordering.

Product Description
10.1" WXGA IPS Touch Panel / Nvidia Tegra 3 (1.2Ghz) / 1GB DDR3 / Nvidia Tegra 3 Graphics / 32GB Flash Memory / Anroid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) / 802.11BGN / 1.2MP Front Facing Camera / 8MP Rear Camera / Bluetooth 3.0 / Polymer 22W/h (10 Hour Battery Life) / G-Sensor / E-Compass / GPS / Light Sensor / Gyroscope / 1YR North American Warranty

In one day the price jumped from $399.99 to $489.99 at Amazon. Too late now!

I'm not am early adopter. This 101 will work until next year or better. I'd rather get a new phone anyways.

Amazon's pre-orders are sold out, you have to wait for the next shipment.

This does look like a great tablet at an amazing price.
However I will wait for the tablet to have a 2gb ram instead of 1gb. Using a fully customized TF101 with LWP and other widgets keeps the ram at 600-700 and using a browser like overskreen does push it close to the limit.
Also, I will have to deal with the problem of selling my TF101 with dock if I do plan to get another tablet.
Does anyone know if the original dock will work on TF300 ?

I was under the impression that the TF300 is going to be the low end device of their new tablet lineup. Hopefully, it does better than the Prime at launch (as in no Wi-Fi issues, glitchy GPS, etc) . I'm more interested in the Pad Infinity, but only if Asus solves the software problems on the TF101 first. Otherwise, I can't say I'm too confident in their firmware with ICS.
I would also doubt highly that the original dock will work with any of these, but I suppose you never know -- they might be nice to us (yeah, right!).

You mention software issues with the TF101. Could you elaborate as I don't think I have any but may have missed them.

Some people are experiencing random reboots and other stability issues after upgrading to ICS.

Im quite sure they said the new devices will NOT be compatible with previous docks, and will have their own docks.
But if it will be compatible with any previous dock - it will be the TF201's. TF101 is too old, and I do believe they have stopped production of the dock as well (at least, a lot of stores here in sweden has stopped selling them and wont receive any new shipment)

And unless you root right after getting the TF101, the ICS update will be force fed to you and then all these issues of rebooting, freezing and apps force closing will ensue.
I'd wait for 300, may be the Wifi/GPS issues they had with prime will be fixed and she will be root and overclock friendly tab .

I do like the back of it!!!

From the leaks to the media, the 300 looks to be a 201 clone with plastic case, slower soc but longer battery life. After seeing excellent performance of the fully functioning gps dongle on the prime, I have high expectations on the performance of the 300.
Hmm.. should Asus call this the Spartan 300, meager and mean?

I wonder if this will have solid rom AOSP/ROM support... you might imagine so considering it's running MIUI out of the box.
Also, battery life.

Will it have an english MIUI available though?

Great specs, especially love the option for 3000mAh albeit with an extra 2mm thickness. But no mention of an SD card slot?? 16GB inside is fine but not enough for me on the whole.

I want one so bad! Hopefully we can manage to get them here in the US for under $400... It's beautiful.

Based on what I've read, don't expect to get your hands on it until the specs are no longer a wow factor.
Apparently this company has some very interesting marketing strategies, the price is apparently more so an initial head turner and far from permanent. Supply is also iffy.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Only missing feature is NFC, but hard to complain about at that price with those specs. Even if it comes in at $450 or so in the end that's around the Xperia P range so not out of sorts. We'll see if they release the goodies for the devs to tinker with.

Has this gone on sale in China? Maybe one of the Chinese users could clear our queries with regards to this phone. I'm chiefly concerned about the following things:
1. English support (should mostly have)
2. AOSP support (almost certainly might have)
3. Build quality and spares!!
Damn it I live in India and we are China's neighbours. Start selling you phones here guys!

amazing what they can produce here :cyclops:

don't expect aosp support as they will probably never release the kernel source. the first one was okay... many of my friends have them but.although they get updates every week they still seem to be only about 75 stable.. the new one has me interested from a cheap hardware angle but I like beingable to choose my own Rom

@joshofbass
what do you mean by "they still seem to be only about 75 stable"?
reboots? freeze? I need a dual sim so that i don't have to lug around 3 phones

NFC??
Does anyone know if the MI-2 supports NFC technology?
I have seen many websites which write the specs and other useful information,but none is mentioning whether or not it has a nfc chip.

NFC is not listed in the specs on the official homepage. Neither is microsd support, btw ...

the best phone!
