Benefits to a501 (vs a500) other than 3g? - Acer Iconia A500

Is there anything better about the a501 vs the a500 other than the 3g capability?
I have just got an 8gb a500, brand new, and a used 16gb a501.
I would not be using the a501 with a sim card. I only want to keep one of these. The obvious choice seems the a501 because of the double space, but I am wondering if it actually does anything differently than the a500? (better OR worse)
I noticed that coming off of a factory reset, the a501 has less apps loaded on it vs the brand new a500 out of the box .

You can buy a500 with 32 gb and no 3g. but yes those are the only two diffidence.. There is now a 8 gb version of the a500 out there ..

[Q] How many of you ordered a 16GB A500 and got a 32 GB instead?

I've recently ordered a 16GB acer iconia A500, it will arrive in a few days. So what are my chances that I'll end up with a 32GB version of the tablet?
Mine came from Target, and indeed it had 32gb in it. Although all the places that mention capacity say 16gb. It was also sold for the 16gb MSRP.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 8GB

Hi i'm slated to purchase this 8GB model of P3100 (with 3G) very soon.
So can i check whether the custom ROMs for regular 16GB model will work on 8GB model too? Is there any significant changes to the components used on 8GB from 16GB that makes it incompatible with 16GB model ROMs?

I don't know for sure but I don't believe there is. Its not like certain models where the amount of ram differs like on the nook tablet.

Anyone holding out for the LTE Shield Tablet?

I'm wanting to retire my AT&T Unite access point, less to carry ?
Also using a first gen Amazon Kindle Fire and can't wait to get the K1 tablet and actually have storage space☺
Nope. The hotspot option on my iPhone works really well. MicroSD possibilities with folder mount solves all my storage woes.

This, I just bluetooth tether for data if I want (less power/heat than wifi) and use the SD for storage.

Same here. I'm planning on tethering with my phone and my car (which also has LTE hotspot capabilities). No need to give AT&T any more money than I already have.
Same same.
Have been looking at fast sd's and some are rated faster than the nan memory. I clocked the nan at 80mb/s on a quick test.
The lexar card is 95mb/s.

What are the limits of the microSD slot?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Since on Verizon I could care less about the LTE radios since useless to me. I do want the extra storage and hoping the 32GB does not have the wifi issues. If it does, I will return that as well. I already have the Shield 1 (great device- as long as did not recently update- 82 makes it a bad device). I though I could get by, but the 10GB (I think that is what it had) is too small for me and Android L will take 20% more of that due to ART.
Also have a Note 2014 32GB that I planned on selling for the Shield tablet. The wifi was bad on the the 16GB version Shield. Yes, I know some are happy and that is great, but there are also some not happy and Best Buy has been getting some returns due to cracks and wifi issues. Did not have long enough to notice any cracks develop, since the weak wifi made the device a moot point for me. 2.4ghz was weaker than the 3DS for gosh sakes.
If Amazon is correct, the LTE model has been pushed back for "unspecified reasons". Likely due to both the cracks and the wifi.

I guess there must be some but what I don't know.

I don't like using my phone because I don't want to use all my battery and don't want to leave it plugged in, I also have to teather 5 or so devices at once.
The line with the Unite on it is still in contract for another year and would rather put my tablet on it, either that or move the line from my Vita to the tablet, because the data on the Vita is SO USEFUL /sarcasm,

Gone for the 32gb 633 Lexar card. Roughly 90mb/s read 40mb/s write.*
The only other card I could find was the Sandisk Extreme PRO which is only available in 16gb flavour and clocks in at an impressive 90 read and 90 write.
Did a full test of the nand memory with reboot and that came back at 89 read and 36 write.
Should be here in a couple of days, I'll do a few tests and report back.
I'll make a new thread also so as not to clog this one up

I'm still waiting for the 32gb LTE version. I have the 16gb version no, but it's going in return as soon at the shop sends med the 32gb LTE model. I've allready paid for the 32gb one, but they sent me the wrong one.
So far i don't think 16gb i nearly enough and i don't get why they would market a 16gb model towards gamers.
How many Tegra games can you install on 11.6gb available space anyway.
Don't feel like paying my carrier extra $ to add data access when I can tether and I can use folder mount to transfer games to SD card or use the built in transfer to SD option so im good with my 16gb shield tablet.

If it can be modded to make voice calls it will be my next phone! Right now I am using Sony Z Ultra and like having one device rather than a tablet and phone both.

Likewise, if it can make calls it'll replace my phone (and I'll sell or gift my current 16gb Shield Tablet).
I ordered my LTE model few days back. Still waiting for it and noticed from the shield's website that it has been delayed towards end of the month. Just my luck
I saw yesterday that the delivery of my 32gb model is pushed back to 06.10.2014. I'll return all the shield stuff i have now on monday and buy a tab s 10.5 instead.

I bought both 16gb and preorder the 32gb of the tablet, all I keep doing is returning the 16gb after 28 days (part of the return policy) and rebuy it lol.
until the 32gb version comes out, I much prefer to have a lot of internal storage just because its so much faster than the micro SD,
even tho I'm using the Samsung pro 64gb (90mb read 80 mb write), plus using a cloned sim from my mobile provider, I can use my data plan on my tablet, which is nice instead of tethering and killing my phone battery.

Good plan.
Have you tried running HL2 from the card? If so does it take ages to load & stutter?
Nb. Samsung pro cards are 70 read /20 write according to Samsung.
