Alright, enough with all the negative "I'm returning this!" threads. How about a positive one highlighting all the nice things you love, especially those things that are better compared to other tablets that you have observed, played with, or owned...
For me, I do love the aluminum back. It might add weight, but it feels so solid and not some dressed-up flimsy plastic.

I certainly helps that USB drives are so cheap now! Is there any lag when playing a large video with the USB drive?

Not as long as the USB drive is properly formatted. I have found that with drives larger than 8 GB formatting them FAT32 with 32KB clusters works best especially with large files like videos and movies. Under 8 GB use FAT32 with 16KB clusters.
About time somebody started a thread for the things we love about the A500. There maybe plenty of people not satisfied with it, but there are even more people who love it, myself included. I also love the elegant aluminum metal back. Most of all, when I take out my A500, it does not look like a copycat of that popular tablet we all hate, it has its own style and you can easily spot it among all the similar looking tabs that are currently out there.
I love playing NFS on the A500!
Coolest game ever...
I also enjoy watching youtube videos and browsing market for apps i never new existed.
Great that you can see how many installs on a given app, off the bat.
Nice!
I seem to be using my Iconia Pad more than my PC nowadays... Rare instance that I'm writing this message from my phone...

Not sure why I love it, but would have never thought that I use it as much as I do since I bought it! So super happy with it (would probably be happy with any other same caliber tablet).

I have a 640gig Samsung full of movies, photos and music. Works great with rock player.
I wouldn't buy it again since the screen isn't as nice as IPS and HC seems stil to be in beta.
I'd probably would go for samsung's tab.

That's like me seeing you driving a Mercedes and asking you if you chose the Benz over the BMW

I think also it's good to someone know what is better
If I go to BMW I ask
what you got better than MERCEDES... sell me your product
ok
- Asus
Better screen but got some light leaking...
More battery but overweighted (with keyboard 1.2kg arround but 16 Hours of battery... hu...)
Keyboard... well can be usefull sometimes and that serve as a dock so...
Nice weather stock widget ( I love it)
Less bloatware (maybe)
after I can't tell
ACER
all in one : USB, hdmi, sdcard
battery 8 hours (normal usage, game a little, wifi etc...)
FULL USB.... plug a little hub and you got mouse (3.1), keyboard, and also.... HardDrive 1TB(maybe 2TB max) can be plug in...
DOLBY that sound is great.
stronger material... my opinion.

I did. my friends recommend transformer because of its popularity, so I went to store and played with the sample, it looks ugly. here are some reasons I picked a500:
1. for $30 more you get 32G and a case
2. metal case, looks solid and for sure a little bit heavier
3. nice design, in my opinion it is the most beautiful android tablet. I compared asus, fujitsu and toshiba, cosmetically, a500 is the best
4. I love the usb port, mouse, keyboard, u-disk, you name it.
my only complain is that it doesn't do usb charging. well, others don't do it either.
besides, you can get it from costco, if you don't like it, take it back. costco.com also sells other tablets, but they are all over priced in my opinion.
I just got the Acer because of the USB port. Right now target has them for 399 and somewhere around the a500gb is a coupon for $50 off tablets @ staples. I believe you can have them price check targets price can use the coupon. Transformer has a better screen but the acers USB can come handy. I love my new a500!
Can't find the post but here's the coupon: http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBOHH28B7SHGCB8cS0jNsq8x311/coupon.html?storeId=10001&AID=10428703&CID=AFF%253A552179%253A552179%253A10428703&cm_mmc=CJ-_-552179-_-552179-_-10428703&SID=VGg5cWlnb0JDalFBQUdAbEdmQUFBQU11&PID=552179&n=550

I actually had a Transformer and returned it for the Acer. Most reviews do seem to come out in favor of the Transformer, but if you read between the lines, it is always the keyboard dock that tilts it in the Transformers favor. Putting a battery in the dock to extend the battery life is a great idea. Unfortunately, based on what I read, it doesn't work. When the tablet is docked to the keyboard, it doesn't go into a deep sleep, which drains the keyboard battery. Asus does say they will fix it. You need to consider if the keyboard is worth it, over a bluetooth keyboard you could get for the Acer.
The reasons I returned my Transformer was the screen leakage problem, and the fact that the left speaker is noticeably quieter than the right. These are both very common problems. The speaker thing really annoyed me. It wouldn't matter so much if it was just one mono speaker, but with one speaker being quieter, you will actually be missing audio.
I do like the USB slot on the Acer, as well as having a cover for the microSD card. On the Asus, I believe the card sticks out of the tablet, and is easily ejected. The power supply for the Acer is also better. I found the 30 pin connector for the Asus on the bottom to be awkward when trying to use the tablet when charging.
movie playback
Hey guys this thread is helpful, thanks. I was leaning towards the transformer because of some of the video playback issues (not being able to play). The Transformer had no issues playing along side, here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyTXevfSIVk
Fast forward to 07:00
So my question is has this been resolved or is this still an issue?
Thanks guys!
Also, has anyone tried doing the Skype Video Chat? What's the experience/quality like? Will a Bluetooth headset (like a standard Jawbone) work with it? How's the Bluetooth Audio quality (assuming its capable)? I would like to use a wireless headset (stereo).
Thanks again!
The better speakers full usb on the tablet and it looks nice. besides that all the tablets have the same tegra cpu so not like your losing anything performence wise
Had 3 transformers, all with serious light bleed round the edges. Got sick of exchanging it so went for the acer and very glad I did.
Not really anything to choose on the screen, but for me, build quality is better and you have the advantage of full size usb.
On the down side it cost a little more (especially here in rip-off britain), but on the plus side, I ordered the keyboard for the transformer direct from asus when it first came out for 50 quid and sold it on flea-bay for 130 - result
Go to transformer forum and ask the same question.good luck
I have an Acer Iconia a501 and an Asus Transformer TF101 (won with BINGO!) here and put them side by side.
For colors, Asus is my favourite, colors are warmer and colors seems to be more deep and natural; the Acer produces washed out colors in comparison. Green grass on the Asus is light-green (onnatural) grass on the Acer.
The Asus screen is an IPS type and doesn't got the weird honeycomb pattern seen the Acer as bright pixels in sunlight and under certain angles; has something to do with their touchscreen tech in the display.
The Asus' dock with keyboard is a nice gadget but if I looked for this I'll be sticking with my 'old' Asus EeePC I have.
I choose the Iconia in favor of the Asus for these reasons:
- full USB and micro usb support on tablet itself
- hardware rotation lock switch
- 3G model is already on the market (got one!)
- The brushed alu look cover is very nice and sturdy
- back camera with led flash (quite bright!)
- few paid and full games included
Although I won the damn thing, the Asus is going bye-bye... because:
- No USB and micro USB support on tablet itself
- only software rotation lock (3 clicks too many!)
- 3G model is to be expected in August or even September!
- Case is nice to see, but it feels kinda plasticy.
- No flash with camera.
- No including games (even though they're only cost couple of $$)
Asus' screen wins (IMHO) over the Acer screen because it produces warmer colors and has more dedicated colors (262K vs 16M), the Acer uses 'dithering' instead.
But as in many things, you can't twist about someones personal taste.

Hit the nail on the head with that.
I bought the Acer because I had some gift cards to HSN to use up and at the time, they didn't have the transformer. I had considered sending the Acer back now that they have the transformer but the Acer has won me over. I'm not sure I could get by without the USB right on the tablet. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse that are amazingly plug and play. I also have a 3G dongle which also works.
I love to connect the hdmi out to my TV and use the wireless mouse and keyboard to surf the internet, watch movies and play games from across the room.

New Iconia A500 Owner
I just bought an A500 over the Asus for a few reasons.
1) The recent price drop here in the US to $399 along with a $50 gift card from Target stores made the $550 price of the Asus a non starter.
2) I own an Asus laptop and it has had poor build quality and miserable support, so the current issues with power drain on the dock and light bleed made me leery of Asus.
3) The 40-pin power/dock connector makes me really nervous about long term reliability and there aren't any replacements currently available.
Now in fairness to the Transformer, there are some pluses compared to the Acer
Slightly sharper display
nice feel of the back(less slippery)
More USB ports when docked
Longer battery life(when docked)
but I just couldn't justify a $200 delta for the Asus...
I totally killed my Acer tablet. The extended warranty company is refunding my money as it would be cheaper than fixing it.
My question is, should I stay with Acer or go for the Xoom? The mic on the Acer sucked, and I use it for college. It would be great to be able to record and take notes. I did love my Acer with a standard USB slot, the Xoom has a micro USB.
Any recommendations?(besides ipad)

1. Nobody here @ XDA is going to tell you to get an iPad, I promise
2. Wait a couple weeks. If you have extra money to spend, the new Tegra 3 devices are coming out, mainly the Asus Transformer Prime and later some unnamed Acer devices. Otherwise, the price is going to drop on all current Tegra 2 devices starting with black Friday / cyber Monday sales.
3. From my research, the Xoom and Iconia have almost identical specs, but the Iconia has the USB. If the mic presents a big problem, use a wired one and take the USB, IMHO. Especially for college, plugging in an inexpensive USB keyboard should be very helpful.
I haven't personally had much time with a Xoom, but I can't imagine anything could make it excel in enough ways to replace a full size USB (for me at least).
Good luck with your decision, hope I helped a bit.
Thanks for the reply. I believe you are right, the zoom fails without a full USB. What kind of mic do I get? Is it a USB mic? I think I am going to stick with Acer. Its funny. The guys at the zoom forum dumped on the Acer. I reminded them they were the same specs. The full USB is awesome!
You have helped me see the light. I like Acer. Good laptops too.

What is a good rom for this tablet?
This will depend on how "cooked" you want your rom.
For really cooked, you can try Taboonay or Honeyvillian. Both are good and used by many.
For a little less cooked, try Harkon or Lightspeed.
All of the afore mentioned have OC capability. You can also change out Kernels for a little better performance based on what you are looking for.
And for a really good one for the 500, goto www.tegraowners.com and try Thor's Roms or Kernels. Really sweet for the 500. He's the guy who put together the recovery for the 500/501, for without, we wouldn't have such an easy time flashing!!
Unfortunately, I run the 501, so mine has to have support for internal 3g, so choices are limited.

The Thinkpad tablet has a full size USB as well. Not sure about the keyboard but based on the Thinkpad track record, its likely better than the Acer one. If you want better bang for your buck though stick with the Iconia as it is quite a bit cheaper.

Good move! I'm running Thor as well, totally happy with it. He's working pretty hard on an ICS build right now, can't wait!
The ICS rom is actually running quite well, but, it's not a daily driver. But it looks ok for an ASOP alpha and runs stable.
The real meat, will come when Acer/Samsung/Asus releases some ICS source for their new tabs. Like the a701. Like HW acceleration and Gpu acceleration.
Things will definitely be rocking!!!
And I'm betting Thor, will have the first rom.

Nobody uses auto brightness anymore. Uses too much battery
Rotation lock is only feasible if you're riding a roller coaster.

Just picked up my transformer with the keyboard attachment, and I'm loving it. The battery life is UNREAL!
Does anyone know if theres anything out there you can do with the keyboard attachment that it doesn't necessarily do already; rooted or not? I'm thinking some kind of hack or mod that might be out there
I was thinking it would be neat to use my pc gamepad with it to run some emulators and racing games and stuff if that's even possible
All the emulators should work but some do not have gamepad support although there is an app to map hardware to the touchscreen i can not remember what it is called right now. As for mods most seem to be moving the batteries to the side and putting in hard drives and 3g motems and i have seen one where someone added a phone dock in the wrist rest area
Holy crap, do you have a picture of the phone dock??
The most impressive one was the additional 500gb Hdd added to the dock. You have to search the forum for the thread, but this one was really awesome.

Would have been nice if the keyboard dock had speakers integrated into it.
Looks like you can't use the keyboard dock and this at the same time.
After about a billion audio docks for the iPad, finally a good multimedia dock for an Adroid tablet!
I think its great, and I'll buy one the day it comes out. Hate having a keyboard in front of me when I'm watching movies. This looks really nice, and it looks like it will allow simultaneous power and data from the photo of the jacks on the back.
The idiotic design of the motorola media dock for the XOOM didn't have a usb port, only power and a crappy speaker. Had to take it out of the dock every time I wanted to add a file to play. And its nice to hear that it will be compatible with both the prime and the 700t. Wonder if the tf300 will get one? Cheap plastic with beats audio probably.

Read it again. It clearly says the dock is compatible with all three tablets: Prime, 700, and TF300.

Wow, your right, nice touch on the part of ASUS.
I've still be waiting on this dock with no updates in 6 months. Is it ever going to see the light of day? It's even posted on Asus's website.
It's a cool idea if they actually make it available.

Now this is nice! I'll have to check it out once it's released and see what it sounds like. This definitely looks promising. :good:
my wife would love this hope it comes out soon.
It costs $200 here in Australia @[email protected]
