wait, whats this about the 360 controller?
im new to android, so im learning as i go

HC 3.1 will enable USB host for the first time and will allow for controllers to be plugged in to the devices. At the Google IO conference they had a 360 controller running their presentation on a Xoom.

In 3.1 it is promised to support variety of USB devices, including even Xbox360 wired controller (demonstrated during Google IO 2011).

This is great news! I'm loving the support Asus is giving this tablet!

Hi all,
We know you’re anxious about our Android 3.1 update. We’ve heard from our PM team that ASUS has already received the Android 3.1 code from Google and work has started on the update.
We will provide Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) updates for all ASUS Eee Pad tablet devices on a market by market basis. This online firmware update will include Android 3.1.
Watch this page for more updates, no pun intended.

I've always had great experience with Asus on the pc hardware side of things. I'm glad to see they're keeping up their standards with Android.

Just a wild question, but would HC 3.1 support USB Speakers too ?

lol just had a thought it wont take long to roll the update out since so few people actually have the tablet...

Totally because amount of tablets equals development time right? Oh wait....

I would assume he was talking about not having to do a prolonged, staged rollout once the update is ready. Not development time.

prolonged staged rollout is pretty much because of SKU's, not cause of amount of tablets.

Hmmm hopefully we can use this as a benchmark on how long it will take for us to get updates. Obviously the Xoom got it first because that is the device google builds on but with the lack on skin on the Transformer this really will tell us how they will be.

I thought that Asus did some light skinning, a few buttons and added a few apps.
It looks like Samsung did a whole lot more work.

Apps probably aren't hard or light skinning either. Samsung did a whole lot more work, or added a whole lot more bloat?

Netflix

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.

No word yet, but you're better off following this thread in the apps section:

You must be referring to the Asus Transformer.
The iPad was craptastic until the Jailbreakers got to it.

[Q] Netflix working on XOOM and Galaxy Tab 10.1 but not us !?

It seems as though Netflix is now working on Honeycomb tablets but not on our trusty Transformer, I can confirm Netflix will not stream on the Transformer, could this be because of the recent Asus firmware update? Thoughts ? Link Below (Lets us know if anyone gets it working)
Cheers !

I have the same complaint about Gameloft games and other games like Zenonia, why the hell do those only work on Xoom, Galaxy, etc but never Transformer?!? What gives?

I've tested it and can verify that it does not work on the Transformer also. The app installs, you can open the app, log in to your account, browse movies even, but no video playback; it gives an error.

Does anyone know what that error means? As that something on the device causing it or is it Netflix reading that its not a approved device and throwing an error

Not sure who told you it works on Xoom but I own a Xoom and Netflix doesn't even show up in the Market so I can tell you it DOES NOT work on a stock Xoom runnng Android 3.2. I'm sure it works on a hacked ROM but it will even run on a hacked Viewsonic GTablet...
*EDIT*
I stand corrected! See post #12
Mea Culpa

I tried it and no go on the Transformer, but, it works on my MyTouch 4G. Seems wrong somehow.

It doesn't show up on my G2x on the market but it does work if you sideload it. I think the situation is supposedly the same with the Xoom. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the TF :/

Interesting. I'll ask my Xoom forum. Thanks.
*EDIT*
JaiaV you are correct!
As of today, it does indeed work on the Xoom. Thank you! It does need to be sideloaded as you suggested. Below is the Xoom link...

Did anyone else notice that Netflix was pulled from the Market that was available to 8.4.4.11 3.1 updated Transformers? It was there since Saturday and I even downloaded it. Gone now... As it has been posted it did not work on the Transformer for anyone that did download it...

Its no longer in market... when ran says there is an update...t though can't find app in market to update....

Maybe we will see something soon!

Unlikely. More likely they're returning us to the status quo by putting out an update to remove the (didn't really work anyway) support for the Transformer (and maybe other models).

So just an FYI, I checked my Market on my Viewsonic GTab and Netflix is there! I downloaded it and I am watching movies right now streaming from Netflix! OMG, the GTab is Android Froyo 2.2! It is a Tegra2 chip but I would never have figured it would work on this legacy tablet before my latest and greatest Transformer and Xoom. LOL

Wow...
We might be getting some love from the netflix gods

Goes to show that Netflix is just screwing around. If they would "allow" the Transformer to work.. it would work.
I'm in no rush. Netflix is pissing me off lately. First their crazy price hikes and now they're playing God to which devices can access their services.
Screw 'em.

Official Netflix support coming in 3.2?

Just read the same post... YES!!! Finally! ...the earlier apk for rooted TF101s with patch was awesome for sure, but it's great we're finally getting some official love (and support).

Yes, I also own a Xoom running 3.2 and you can sideload the Netflix app on it and it works fine. I am waiting for it to show up in the Market though so I can get the automatic Netflix updates as opposed to the sideloaded version that you must manually update. Hopefully, the TF will get this working in 3.2... Keeping my fingers crossed...

That requires root and the installation of a patch. I have no time for such things (including messing around with unrooting when then next TF update comes), and so having an official Netflix app will be most welcome.

http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer/specification
Theyre claiming Netflix(us only) on their site, so possibly after 3.2

Keeping my fingers crossed. I've held out on rooting this far. Love my transformer and honestly can live without netflix on it, but it would surely be a plus to have it added.

Old cheesy B movies and crap peeps don't wanna see. Nah I'm a Netflix subscriber and I do use it a couple times a month at least and it would just be nice to have since many other devices have it is all.

For me it adds an extra component to the transformer that other tablets already have. At this point android is playing catchup to Ipad. (well..everyone is)
They all are, but android has a good chance to get there, but they need to add what competitors offer and then add their own extra spice.
Personally, i have netflix enabled in all my tvs at home, but would love to have it on my TF for road trips. If i stay on a hotel, tether off the phone in the car..it just adds more thrills to an already good device.
Oh, and the TF has replaced the newspaper and book in my restroom. BEST reading material for when taking care of business.. Imagine watching some movie while pooping..lol Legs would fall asleep..

I don't understand WTF is up with Netflix and the TF. It works fine sideloaded on my unrooted Xoom and even my old Viewsonic GTablet has an official Netflix app in the market and it works great. It's rooted but it's Froyo 2.2! It does load in portrait mode but plays back perfect in landscape...

Asus has some coherence problems with information management. XDA has coherent whine.

From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721
Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown
Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.
In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.
Good times.

Thanks for the update. I was waiting for an updated official source.
Too bad they can't just name a date. End all speculation. 'Mid february' is close but I want it less vague

I'm using a GNex since its release and I can tell you this: you'll be stunned. Not so much from the interface (which is very close to HC) but from the overall smoothness. I eagerly wanna try paulburtons ICS port, but I gave my TF away to a friend for 2 weeks

Yeah, I have ICS on my Nexus S, and I'm super excited to get it on my TF101. Most of the basic interface ideas come from Honeycomb, but very refined and improved. And yes, much better speed.

Just got ics alpha on my epic 4g.
After a day of playing with it, if anyone asks 'is it worth it to wait' you don't deserve it.
Wow. All i can say, my phone is giving my tf a run for its money now..

I think they'll roll out the update region by region to reduce server load (as they did with all the previous updates). But it should release globally within a few days.

You all know that mid Feb is going to be Valentines day. So better cancel those dates you got...and be prepared to wine and dine your TF101 instead that night!

We are slowly getting there. Can't wait to see the revolver version.

I just hope the TF101 ICS upgrade does not have all of the issues that the TF201 upgrade. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer or anything. I just ordered my TF101 from Amazon last night after struggling with the 101 versus 201 decision. In the end it came down to the issue of the Wifi possible not working.
