This is my first Android tablet and i love it . It has a lot more potation than the iPad. But i think it is build on a different kind of experience than the iPad. I have had a iPad since the 1g came out. And i needed a change form iOS, I also have a rooted HTC Evo 4G so i knew how android was. But the UI in Honeycomb is a lot more polished than Gingerbread.
what is this so called polish that everyone speaks of

I assure you, the Iconia Tab A500 has nothing to do with potatoes or agriculture.
I think he is saying potential
whats the point of topic?

apparently so .
I Just ment are we comparing this to the so called polish of the ipad. I actually like the os I just think hardware acceleration could be improved but over all Im happy with it.

Potation means 'the act of drinking' - maybe he's thinking that the Beer LiveWallpaper is real??

It definitely has sonething to do with potion
Anyhoo, let's not be mean.
Congrats for your purchase and enjoy the tablet!
Can anbody explain why the release of 3.1 is taking so long. I like the iconia but you would think the company would release the 3.1 and kernel source to move the tablets to make more money.

The above rumors that Honeycomb was going to require a dual-core processor have been denied! Lots of tablet owners wrote all over the internet (and in our comments) that they are worried that the next Android OS won’t be available on Galaxy Tab. A few hours ago, Dan Morrill from Android Team denied the rumors through a tweet saying : “there’s no hard minimum for Honeycomb”.
So good news guys, don’t worry, enjoy your tee , coffee, sleep and wait for Honeycomb to be released so we can enjoy it!
http-://xxx.thegalaxytab.com/2011/01/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-might-not-receive-android-honeycomb-update/
Old, old, news! This wasn't reported a few hours ago - it was a few weeks ago! See here.
FYI, this doesn't confirm that the Tab *will* get Honeycomb from Samsung - only that it is almost certainly capable of running on Honeycomb.
Regards,

Old. Also, tea not tee.
I think the fact that a new Galaxy Tab 2 is coming soon pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for a official honeycomb update. Who uses official ROMS anyways though. XDA will have one.
It's always good to have an official update. It's always a good mine of useful driver updates, mini bugfixes etc.
It also prolongs the life of the device: it'll be sold for a longer time, so it'll sell more, which means more devices and more interest in the wild, better and wider array of accessories etc.

To get our hopes up, and then send them crashing to the ground. Especially now that Honeycomb 3.2 with support for 7 inch tabs is out...
I know... its probably to much to hope for 3.2 isn't it....

Why do we want an upgrade? I'm happy with Gingerbread. If I hated GB I'd sell my Tab and go get a HoneyComb tablet. Why the need to upgrade something that works?

I totally disagree, XDA is great for making our hardware live up to its promise, but, I looked at a 10.1 Tab and can honestly say that i prefer the capacitive buttons, and profile of my GTab 7. To each his own!

Hello Everybody, I am new to this forum, but not XDA. I am soon to be buying a Eee Pad Transformer, but there is one major setback. I love my brother's xoom. It's amazing, fast, smooth, and all functions work. The one thing I've seen is how the Transformer doesn't look like the Xoom (so I'm led to believe it's dotted with ASUS's own software, while still running Honeycomb). Is there an easy fix for this? I've looked at the custom roms and can't find one that looks to be almost exactly like the Xoom. But I am a N3wb when it comes to Tablets, so I would really like some details on what to expect, from several people on performance, and preferably pro's and con's.
Thanks IA

All Honeycomb tablets at this time (with the exception of Galaxy Tab 10.1) are running stock Honeycomb. Some tablets may add apps of their own but it is not really bloatware.
If you're talking about the buttons on the bottom left there is a easy fix for that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120014&highlight=Xoom

Umm.. you could flash a kernel and ROM afterwards?
Development is very limited as Honeycomb is closed-source.
Out of the box experience is amazing on Honeycomb though.

Just FYI, I had a Xoom before I got my Transformer. I am _much_ happier with my Transformer, both in terms of the screen (a huge improvement) and how Asus is supporting the device. Of course, the keyboard dock is a huge plus that nobody else can match...
Not knocking the Xoom, but rather to say that you won't likely regret your decision between them.

if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.
If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

It's odd, because it has the same price as the other high end tablet and it was the most popular as i said i considered it a NEXUS tablet, and it will probably not be the second one to receive ICS either, that will be the asus transformer
It's crap because not only wa the xoom branded as a GED ...
... not only did the Android team happily blog that ICS compiles for Xoom right out the gate with no tweaks ...
... not only did team EOS get leaked Chinese drivers to make everything work ...
... Motorola _still_ couldn't be bothered to get the update out in time.
Seriously they lined themselves up to have almost zero work on this port ... and they still blew it.
i also bought the xoom thinking it would be treated differently as it was the first "google tab" i have yet to see any special favoritism towards this device.

test..................
What a shocker Motorola borked an update, I guess they are too busy putting out 3 new phones and tablets every week to be bothered to do updates if google doesn't fix them they are done
I paid more for this thing when other tablets were out just so I didn't have to wait for updates...... Guess I was wrong
For the record the "test" wifi users signed up for last week still has not been released
Or maybe they don't want to look like dicks because Google bought them. Maybe Google want everyone to see that Motorola isn't its bff..... or its just the same old Motorola doing what they do best...nothing. you know what will put a cherry on top? Locking the boot loader.
From the sound of things for the soak test Wifi users were signing up for, Google is in control of the update, which makes sense, since it is a GED after all. It may not be Motorola's choice/decision.
