Almost ordered one yesterday, but then I realized why I sold my SGS II, the bluetooth stack! A pad will only be for fun, but if you can't play your Roms with a wireless controller I say you miss a lot from the experience! So what's the deal? Is it time for me to start looking for another tablet?
Guess it only was an important question for me.
Or maybe during the mere eight hours between when you posted this topic and posted again to whinge about not receiving a response, nobody who knew one way or the other opened the topic. Sheesh.
I never reply to those using the language the OP had used in the title. Immature
If it's possible I can change the topic, how do I do that?
And since the topic was down at page 3, I realized that no one didn't pay attention to it. Started to wonder why since this is a major problem!
I'm not the one whining guys.
I've got the tab and using a wiimote perfectly for emulation purposes.

Sounds great! Did you use the "Wii Controller IME" application?
This is the kind of response I was looking for. Thank you!
Yes the wiimotecontroller app on the market.

I have the option from T-Mobile to get the G1 for $150. This is to replace my HTC Wizard that I currently have.
Here's my questions.
#1 Are there working N64, PSX, Gensis, SNES, and Nes emulators on this?
#2 Is the App Store required to install software on the phone?
#3 How's the port of Quake 3, 2, 1 on it?
#4 What's the coolest thing you've seen it do?

For #1 & #4 Look at this webpage. I can't live without navigation, this phone just makes it easier
#2 No, you can do it through SDcard or USB. Most of them will have the market(app store) on pre installed though.
#3 Quake 1 has been released, very playable.
And regarding the coolness factor:
I just got it managed to install debian with bluediving and metasploit on it.
Now I have a portable BT-sniffing-and-hacking-machine.
At least imho this is quite nice

LOL, I love these kind of threads. With questions like these do they really expect a real answer. We shouldn't have to convince anybody to get a phone. Just knowing what the phone is about should be good enough.
PLEASE BUY A G1 SO I CAN GET A GOODNIGHT SLEEP

Hey, remember that "Text Hypnosis" game? This is where you read a statement and then cannot help but be affected by it. For example:
*You are now aware of how large your tongue is in your mouth*
or
*You are now blinking manually*
I wonder if it works here:
*You now have a strong urge to buy a G1*

Haha, just as I read your post the new iPhone ad came on "This is the new iPhone. It can do some pretty amazing things, like copy and paste!" My God!
Yeah they are everywhere, everyone has one, I don't want a phone that everyone else has...
No idea why so many people are angry. I'm not here to make fun of the G1.
The phone to me is superior to the iPhone. Apple has too much control of the app store. So much so that it caused this very person to fire bullets at his 3GS. Not to forget that this phone has a qwerty keyboard and some external buttons.
My concern is over software. I've seen a video of Quake 1 running on it very slowly, and I can't seem to find any ports of N64, PSX, Quake 2/3. I've heard that some people say it's because code is written as Java?
The price is also right. I just don't wanna go buy the phone and find out 1 year later a G2 is released, when the above mentioned applications are finally written and running full speed.
Just curious what nice things you like about your phone that others phone may not have, for me its the panoramic stitcher in the stock camera.
Hardware Keyboard for game gripper for Emulators!!!
Fantastic Keyboard
ummm... being better than any other phone out there??? Pretty much everything, except software support, which looks to be a non-issue soon with the Dev going on here.
the only thing I would change ironically is the reason I bought it, I would dump the hard keyboard
The screen was the deal breaker for me between the Epic and the EVO.
The bad support :-D

My feelings exactly.
I love the fact that I have such a wonderful place where I can look through 9 threads all with the same question that I can search through.
It makes my searching a LOT shorter knowing that I can come to a lightly moderated forum and not have to worry about my question not being asked at least 324 times before I have to do it.
That, and the WKBW's (Bruce Almighty Reference)
Let's just say that the legalization of mary jane would definitely benefit these forums drastically. The output of roms would increase 20 fold, and development for this phone would go through the roof.
TouchWiz!

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....
Edited to add....I want netflix too!

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.

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
Hey guys read the article below on Android Police. You guys should check it out. It's an alternative for Google Now, that we It has a lot of the features of Google Now, plus a lot more. Defiantly something you should check out. Article in link has a really kool video .

ive been watching his thread since the beginning of the year, its come a long way.
I have been using it for a few days. Apart from being a novelty, and very kool. It actually does work quite well. Don't get me wrong, it still needs a bit of work. But IMO it's working at least as good as Crapples version.
