Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!
i agree, this is a pretty awesome device
Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !
same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

thanks for the offer....much appreciated but it's a very high end bible software app called "Logos" that is on the verge of releasing an Android version.....
I appreciate it anyway....

Lol Wooot
I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.
I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!
Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha
lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.
Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

Amazon is sold out now but they last had the B6O revision so the next batch will probably be the same or higher. If you're going to reorder, now would be a good time.

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/01/motorola-announces.ars
Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.
Wow... Really? I guess there's one in every group. Try this thing called reading before you write. The main purpose of this was to show my buddy I wasn't the only one who saw this as bogus. Thank you however on your insight. We are all definitely a lot better for it!!

He was trolling.
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.
Sorry asus, you have failed miserably. Quality control is almost non existent and your software updates are a joke. I've upgraded to 3.1 and after a couple of days my internet is so slow I might as well be on dial up. Pages either don't load or time out, or take forever to load. This thing is unusable! Tried different locations with different routers. This is a joke. Waste of money. I need a device that is functional, not wait for the "next update". Money back please!

Did that, deleted history and cookies as well. Using 3 different browsers. I think I'll just rant. I know die hard fanboys will have trouble coping.

A factory reset seems to clear most usability issues with the 3.1 update. Try that.
Wow well, Asus did a great job with the device. Do some research before you rant like that...
The problem here is Honeycomb sucks right now, in reality the hardware is too early for the software (for once!)...
You got to be kidding me? all I hear is you ranting about not being able to load webpages for whatever reason it maybe... I think Honeycomb isn't right for you and not Asus, they've provided plenty of fixes and they'll provide more fixes in the future to make the Transformer more stable as it is now.
Maybe come back in a few years time and you'll probably find honeycomb more stable for you to use...
@rilot
If I do a factory reset then I have to install and configure all my apps. Sorry, no time for that.
@andrewklau
Your explanation is senseless. Fact is that this thing is not usable for me. Maybe the uber geeks have time to install-uninstall, configure, reset and all that crap. I need a device that's functional out of the box. I'm convinced that after the next update, there are going to be new issues while asus tells us to hang tight while the next one will solve eeeeeeverything....and so on and so on. Sorry to have hurt your feelings fanboys. I see I touched a nerve. When I shell out my money for something I expect something in return. Not trips back to the store for exchanges because of poor QA and software that sucks. I'm sure I'll get flamed, but it's ok.

I got my TF yesturday, updated to 3.1 straight away, and everything's working perfectly. No slowdowns, no lag, no backlight bleed, and only a very slight creaking on the left side of the bezel.
You were an unlucky statistic. Stop whinning and RMA it already.
Works perfectly for me. Using dolphin browser and opera.
Dude the Eee Pad is one of the tablets available for the price .The problem is not the tablet it is the software
My Transformer Touchscreen isn't responding anymore, so he is not the only one who is unhappy with his tablet :/

With most problems it's the user, not the tablet or the software. It's up to each user to find the apps compatible with the device.

And I have the 16GB Transformer and everything is working perfect; smooth as silk transitioning between screens, no dead pixels, almost no lightbleed, flash in browser plays wonderfully.
I'm becoming ever more frustrated with people hopping on this forum and ranting about how the device is so awful.
This thing KILLS my iPad one and the price left me not even considering an iPad 2. Everything i've done on my TF so far out does my iPad 1 by a landslide; reading books in portrait mode on this screen is a treat and having the 10" screen also works wonders when playing multiplayer games like Fruit Ninja or Glow Hockey 2.
Yeah... so I got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 this weekend to try it out and boy has life been good. This thing is build like a tank and weights like a feather. The screen is flawless (no dead pixels, light bleed, etc.). The only drawback I see with it is the lack of Google Labs (i.e., no Quick Controls or ability to change the User Agent on the default Browser), which can be averted by using a third-party browser if need be. The lack of ports is really not an issue as I plan on using my tablet as a tablet, and not a failed attempt of a laptop replacement. That being said, I'll have to get used to not having the dock, which I know I will (used the iPad since release date). Bottom line, this is a tablet; I already have a laptop (M11x) for anything more serious.
I was just waiting for a root to come out to officially jump ship. Now that it is rooted, I really see no use in sticking around with the TF.
I tried loving it, and maybe, for a split-second, I did. But the fact of the matter is that I feel like I'm going to break it every time I use it and I highly doubt it will last me a whole year. Didn't have this worry with the iPad, and now I don't with the GT.
Later guys! It's been fun!
Riveting.

no.. please dont go...
dont gooooooooooooooooo.
Glad you got sorted out.
are we supposed to care?
Well Buh Bye!
If the Thrive turns out to be solid, I'll likely be jumping to it, but I won't be posting a goodbye thread Maybe a Thrive vs TF thread.
no lose he is only a PATS fan................
i still cant quite understand why someone starts a thread just to say they have decided they prefer another item ..... utterly, utterly pointles .....
i also cant believe ive posted on the subject tho !
Im sure at some stage i will upgrade from my TF, but not for quite some time. And when I do i promise i wont bother telling everyone.
I really wish the mods would just zap these threads. They clog up the forums for everyone trying to get help or actually discuss the TF.
For those who think the grass is greener just go ! dont bother telling us just go. really.
bye...who cares? can mod please ban these types of posts?
Have fun with Samsung updates....Next update will be a yr from now.....

you can fix that by installing the transfomer apk or the xoom's browser apk. i think the xoom apk would be better as you'd have more ua strings to choose from.
but i may be with you and jumping ship too. but i really do like the tf i'm still trying to talk myself out of keeping them both. i think i'm stalling myself so that i pass the 14 day returns and am forced to keep both, lol.

Unless you have money to spare, or the need, there's really no reason to have two 10.1 tablets. A 10.1" and 7" package might be better.

Updates are fewer because the issues are fewer. How many updates has it been now and the dock still drains like crazy and the battery info is still not available?! Also, no firmware/OTA update can fix the horrible build quality the TF has.
BTW, sarcasm is the ultimate form of insecurity. I'll accept some of your remarks as confirmation that you feel the same way.

I have the 10.1. Theres some more issues with the 10.1 then just the quick tab. One thing is that the default browser screw up your bookmark. I bookmark asus xda and samsung xda. After about 5 mins I click on the Asus TF xda forum it re direct me to the Samsung 10.1 forum. The charger on the 10.1 sucks...its takes forever to get a full charge. 60% in 3 hours....
The screen is nice, if you are into that cartoon look. Way oversaturated for me!!!! When watching a movie everyone in the movie looks like oompa loompa from charlie and the chocolate factory.... So the question is Samsung updates....Are they going to do the same thing with the 10.1 like the way they handle their phones? We just dont know
Has anyone heard when the GT10.1 might be getting Netflix? Or Google Movies?
I love this tablet, but I don't like the lack of optimized tablet apps and the missing Netflix. I'm debating whether to hold onto this tablet and wait because I really do love the look and feel of the tablet and of Honeycomb or if I want to return it for an iPad 2 and come back to an Android tablet in a couple months (or a year) when there are more apps. So...that's why I'm curious about Netflix.
