Would like to request a forum for the 10.1 inch Toshiba Thrive (Android) tablet, due to be released in Australia end of this month (June), Mid July US, and August Canada.
Some great features I really like; full sized SD card, USB and HDMI ports, removable back cover.

Yes, need forum for this tablet. Other forums are currently being hijacked for discussion. Plus, the threads are lost as they are under different tablets/brands.
I too have been excited about the Thrive. Really looking forward to its release.
Toshiba Thrive
This post is to kindly request a sub-forum for the up coming Toshiba Thrive Android Tablet. Or, subsequently scold me for requesting the forum incorrectly.
Pretty Please!
Yes, please!
Another vote for Thrive-related forum here.
A forum for the Thrive would be awesome. I already preordered mine.
Must have!!!
Ditto on that. That's going to be (first) tablet!
EDIT: Correction. It IS my first Tablet. It would be nice to get a forum for it.
still waiting
I had received an email advising it was added to the list o forums to be created. Still waiting for it to spring into existence.

WOOT!
I'm enjoying it so far. The release in Australia has only come with 3.0.1 and hopefully that will be fixed.
Has it been released anywhere else yet?

Japan had some released. But most release dates were pushed back so they could have 3.1 loaded on I was reading
Where's the love? This is an awesome tablet with the best connectivity of anything on the market.
I too would like to see a Thrive forum. It may boil down to having moderators, etc to cover said forum. However, I see that the LG G-Slate (no interest) never got any love either it would seem to me.
we need it please.
Just ordered mine from newegg and overnight delivery. Can not wait
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Yes please as it has at least in theory the connectivity I want and need hopefully without issues
I would also like to see a sub-forum for the Thrive.
ADD me to the list as well....
I would like to see a Thrive forum also.
Thank you
I'm really surprised this device doesn't have a sub-forum yet. I'm sure there's enough interest in it.

So the above link shows the new tabs available on pre-order feb 15th and will ship with Froyo 2.2 not Gingerbread. These tablets all have the multi-touch screens we wish for and wireless n. The 10.1" screen is the first available. No mention of when the the a7x will be available to order or price point. The cheapest is the 4gb model 10.1" screen for a "discounted" price of $399. So I assume as soon as these actually come out they will raise the price which seems right to me. The $399 is a really attractive price for this device!!
I just thought I would post the official link as I thought it was interesting. If they had the 7x for $399 pre-order I would certainly seriously consider buying. In fact, I probably would just buy it. It is more than I can afford but what a nice device. I can't do the 10.1 " model. I really like the 7" form factor. It is so portable but still so usable!! Still though the original a7 for $299 is a pretty good deal.
Well with two weeks left to decide whether or not I am going to keep my a7 I think I will. The color Nook looks like a great device and it is nice to upgrade to 3.0 but I just have a hard time going backwards hardware wise. The a7 is so snappy and I like that. The screen and wireless n are the only issues I have with the device. argh!! I really want 3.0!!

What I posted last week was the official press release. They released it out on Feb 4th which you see on the notice there. I find it strange it took them about a week to finally get it posted on their website. But you will see its the same release we put on the site last week.

Of course not.... That is not up to them.
http://hothardware.com/News/Android-Honeycomb-31-Comes-To-The-Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer/
Wow according to this website Asus transformer has 3.1!!!!
Hopefully Acer A500 gets it soon
Looks like they got hold of a little pre-release action. At the end it says "We're told this update will be available to the public in the near future." Come on Acer!
I wouldn't hold my breath for the update, especially since it's coming from Acer.
Google provided to the OEM... and it's up to the individual (Acer) to tweak it to their device...who know how Acer is handling this ( timewise )
interestingly...on one of the picture...it show that Asus uses the same kernel as our Acer...
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b
http://hothardware.com/newsimages/item17461/big_android3.jpg
That could pose a potential with our Acer updates as the recent confusion shown with recent updates, they are getting rid of the part after the number to shorten form --->> 2.6.36.3
here we go again !!
why is everyone so quick to assume Acer won't give timely updates? The iconias only been out for a month here, and its already received one bug update, and they already stated that 3.1 is coming in june. Patience is a very important virtue. ;-)

Entitlement issues, product envy, buyers remorse. God forbid another device get an update before the A500...it seems.
Happy with mine. Hope 3.1 does big things, but really happy with mine so far.
Yea i love my acer and they anounced it would be out first half of june, chill out.
Acer FB page says 3.1 will be available at the end of June.
I've only bought one Acer product and they've done alright by me so far. I've had it 3 weeks and already one update. That's light-years better than Samsung/T-mobile with the Galaxy phones.
soild update not a rushed one
OK this update will come when its complete and not full of bugs and fixes.from what I have heard we have less bugs then most of those tabs and better connectivity then the others.
Acer. We need a User end user recovery.one that does not make us leave out tablets stock.where. we can install and del the apps we want ina piece of hardware we paid for.
So unlock bootloader or atlest give a recovery method. That does not require me tobsend my tab in for recovery.
In afraid to install apps because of compatibility. Seinfeld im past my exchange date
Play nice Acer I know you watch this forum.
Im good at selling on ebay
the 18 month rule
Acer will give us the updates timely, the 18 month rule is there also for google to see who is good at releasing updates and keeping products up to date. If acer does not update in a timely manner. I can only assume that acer will not get early builds of new OS's. There fore shutting them out of the tablet game.

Does the 18 month rule apply to ACER? They were not a listed partner of Google on the 18 month support slide.... although everyone else was.
"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!"
Also, I'm waiting for proper mouse support still. :|
And, can we title our threads a bit better guys? You got my hopes up.
Looks like those lucky bastards with the Asus have already got a leaked build of 3.1
http://android.modaco.com/content/a...er-modaco-com/340629/3-1-update-is-available/
3.1 has been available for the Xoom before the Xformer - 3.1 is just around the corner for the A500. Acer was recently highlighted as a close partner with Google at their recent I/O Conference so future upgrades are without doubt.

Please, stop with disinformation. Acer just came out with this tablet and a month or so later we all just got this great update. Now 3.1 is coming. You act as if they should personally call you every day for your approval. This tablet is great and updates have come. Why complain about what they just released which really enhanced everything for this tablet? You disinformation agents get to me because you are so easy to spot. Always complaining even when the company does things right.

It is because they mostly work for the competition. They get people to be dissatisfied with their purchase. Then you buy their products instead. Manufacturers are all over forums like these pushing one product down while promoting other products which are usually their competing products lol. Happens a lot. Ymmv here.

ICS
Yippie Skippy!
Thanks Asus you are not like LG.
Hope to see ICS in our Transformers soon
I previously owned the early 7" Galaxy Tab - while I loved it, it was pretty obvious Samsung was not pro-active (and known as such) about iterative Android updates.
When I picked up my TF and dock, it had the onerous typing lag and with patience, updates rolled out - the lag was fixed, and I was happy I waited; Other companies don't support this as nicely as Asus does, and I'm really pleased with them for this.

This hopefully does mean the first-gen TF is getting ICS, and we've heard that from Pocket Lint, too, so it seems likely.
However, I wouldn't read that tweet as confirmation. The second-gen TF is also an EeePad Transformer, after all -- so it could easily be read as meaning ICS is coming to the series, not the first-gen specifically.
That's awesome! Asus has been great about getting updates out. Kudos to them, that goes a long way to customer loyalty.
That Transformer Prime is looking to be pretty sweet too.

ASUS had specifically said that the current gen TF will be getting ICS before the year is through.

I've had the HTC Hero and the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint and while XDA development was/is fantastic on both, the manufacturers really dropped the bomb on updating to Eclair/Froyo for Hero and Froyo/Gingerbread for Epic. Glad to see that ASUS is working diligently on updating their devices in a timely manner and communicating the process nicely with their users. Kudos to ASUS, I will definitely buy another product from them in the future.

Citation please? I'd like this to be right, but I have not seen any such statement directly from Asus (or attributed to a specific individual at Asus) so far.
All I've seen is Asus saying the Transformer will get ICS (could be TF101, could be Transformer Prime), and third parties saying "anonymous" sources at Asus said the TF101 would get ICS.
Like I said though, I'd really like this to be right, so I'm hoping you've got a citation lined up and ready. ;-)

Different business strategy. Samsung focuses more on selling their products to people through advertisement. Asus focuses more on selling their products by post-sale support.
In fact, I can't think of another company that rolls out updates as often as asus.

OK, thanks for the info. Given that they don't say it will be hitting *existing* tablets, I wouldn't read that as proof positive. It could just be saying they'll be shipping new tablets with ICS. We can but hope.
Asus has been doing an amazing job at updates and I give them credit quite frequently. From my netbooks to my transformer... they've always been awesome at delivering a quality product and supporting it. I think ICS will come to the transformer around the end of the year, giving their new tablet 2 months lead with ICS.
The original transformer is still a great tablet and in fact I have several people looking at pricing for the original once the new one comes out. We may see the TF for $299 or $250. Hellofadeal.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
Can't wait.

Hi,
Pocket Lint made an unambiguous statement, quoting Asus. It reads legitimately to me.
As a new poster I can't give you a link, but it is on pocket-lint (dot) com /news/42628/asus-eee-pad-transformer-ice-cream-sandwich
Its expected sometime after the middle of November for the original TF. Like anything else though it could be delayed or even cancelled. There's no concrete date set. Just keep those fingers crossed.
Great news
hope that they unlock the bootloaders on the locked tabs
For those who are looking to buy an A500. Staples will have them on sale for $299 on 11/13. Looks like it is in store only.

Sorry but it looks like this sale is by invitation only Link

Look, I'm not trying to argue but you keep pushing. You're like one of those people who always has to be right no matter what... Yes, it was supposed to be released yesterday, and yes, they also pushed it to December. That happens all the time. They did not say why, however. They never officially stated that it was for ICS. That was only speculation. They did, however, say ICS would be coming to both Transformer's before the end of the year. Whether or not the TP launches with ICS is still unconfirmed. Until Asus makes an official statement, it is only speculation. Could it be true? Possibly. But it's still unconfirmed, nonetheless.

All the major tech blogs have said the Prime will launch with 3.2 in December, with ICS following as an upgrade. Since they're getting their info straight from the vendor, I would count them as more credible than some guy on an online forum.

"ASUS’ Eee Pad Transformer Prime, the second-gen Transformer, may have its launch pushed back into December, so as to arrive running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich according to the latest rumors. Google has agreed to help ASUS develop ICS for the Tegra 3 based Transformer Prime, DigiTimes‘ supply chain sources reckon, in an attempt to persuade the company not to shift its focus to Windows 8 tablets instead."
http://www.slashgear.com/asus-trans...ushed-to-dec-for-ice-cream-sandwich-08193892/
"For all of you Asus Transformer fans we have some good and bad news for you. The November 9th launch date for the Transformer Prime has been pushed back to sometime in December. Yes, this is a bummer dudes. I too was looking forward to some NVIDIA quad-core tablet goodness sometime this month.
But, on the other hand, the good news is that apparently Google is willing to help Asus in preparing the tablet so that it ships with ICS on board at launch. That’s cool, right?! We will just have to wait it out for about another month because you know the big G wants their Galaxy Nexus to be the first to arrive on scene rocking the new Android 4.o operating system. And by the way things have been lately, we all should be used to this waiting game by now… or at least expect it."

"Asus has yet to officially announce the Eee Pad Transformer Prime — that’s supposed to happen tomorrow. And while it was originally slated to launch some time later this month, the Tranformer Prime has now been pushed back to December so that Asus can ship the tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed. Google has agreed to lend a hand to make sure the transition to ICS is a smooth one for Asus."
http://www.geek.com/articles/gadget...old-till-december-pending-ics-update-2011118/
"There’s news floating around that Asus has delayed the release of the Transformer Prime tablet, from November to December, in order to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on-board at launch. Google is assisting Asus in order to complete the process as quickly as possible. It’s unclear at this point if Asus still plans to announce the tablet on November 9th like they previously scheduled, or if that’s been pushed back as well. Stay tuned."

There's a difference between rumors and facts. What were quoted in the links I provided were info straight from the vendor from the Prime's official announcement date (11/09/2011). What you're quoting are rumors and gossip. From your own link,
http://www.slashgear.com/asus-trans...ushed-to-dec-for-ice-cream-sandwich-08193892/
"according to the latest rumors"
Please note that this particular blurb was on the 8th, a day before the official announcement.
The other links you provided are merely gossip. Given the tendency of sites to copy-paste content from each other, rumor propagation is rife. Note that all the sites you mentioned are quoting the same rumor.
Regardless of how you parse these, it's as the other poster said, that we'll know for certain when it ships. It's not a big deal either way. The main reason that I replied is because of your juvenile responses to the other poster, with petty put-downs and personal attacks. They were uncalled for.
e.mote, i know you're right, but just let him believe what he wants. obviously when i said he's one of those guys who always has to be right, i hit the nail right on the head. his response to me was totally out of line, even after i point out that it's all speculation and we won't know the truth until we get closer to the actual launch. it should be left at that.
now let's get back on topic.

Page bookmarked, I'll leave you kids to your fantasies, and we'll revisit it in December.
HEY GUYS! I just placed my order on Amazon for my TF300 and I can't wait. It comes in Tuesday and until then I will be spending my time in the forums trying to find out what I want to do to it.
I am coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It was a great tablet and the community was great. I was looking through this one and, to be honest, this forum looks a little confusing with the different versions for the different countries. The one I rodered is the TF300 B1-WH. I just wanna make sure that I can get what I need for this model from these forums.
So please stop by and tell me what you think and give some pointers. THANKS!

Take your time, do some reading and plan on a little time to verify there are no hardware issues before you go beyond stock. Most units selling today are on JB bootloader but if yours happens to come with ICS then consider nvflash.
Good Luck and Welcome!
Probably this is the best guide IMO - The best ROM is also BAKED - I'm currently on a test release which is amazing and BAKED just has all these AOKP customizations with the best stability and battery life of the AOSP Roms out there :laugh:
also Ubuntu Touch is being ported but atm it's really, really a preview - not much working and not really stable!
thanks! I was so worried that since I was getting it off of Amazon that it was going to be some weird chinese version and almost useless. lol. I was able to find the 32GB refurb for 250. I am pretty stoked.
I was looking at the slim bean since that is what I run on my SIII but will wait for a slightly more stable version to come out. Any word on a paranoid ROM?
CleanROM is awesome. I definitely suggest giving it a try. We also have Paranoid Android. If you want to overclock you will want to use the 2.54 version with the modified Unter kernel in the 3rd post down from the OP under EXTRAS. There is a 2.99 version but its still a beta.
I ran the PA ROM for a few months and its nice. CleanROM performs better though.
I've got the 32gb version and love it. The dock is nice too if you ever decide to get one.

I to have cleanROM and it is simply awesome.
If i were you though i would give it a little while before you install custom ROMs just incase you have hardware issues and the tablet needs to go back for repair.
Then root the tablet and install a custom ROM. You won't regret it!
