Seriously.... am i the only person annoyed by people proclaiming that a new tablet/ software update is actually faster than the older unit? This bugs the crap out of me. Of course its going to seem faster its a brand new fresh out the box/ no apps downloaded/ tons of memory unused/ little brother hasn't used it as his own personal Frisbee tablet. We should have a rule that if your going to post something about a new tablet or upgrade that you either thoroughly put it through some decent testing ( not play with it for 2 days and claim its gods gift to earth) or reset your old tablet and test how they perform on the same OS under the SAME conditions. So no more of this "OOOOO i just got the new update its SOOOOOOO much faster and smoother than....." no **** Sherlock everything seems faster after an update. Thanks .

While for many, this update won't mean much, for others is actually a very important update. Our current gmail app is seriously crippled for some email users, no android management tools, no push notifications plus a more restricted market. I briefly switched and was stunned at the improvements made to the gmail app...eventually had to switch back though because my Battery life took a *HUGE* hit. Samsung/Sprint is really starting to drop the ball IMO.

Who cares, use DK28. It works great and has the best battery life I have ever seen on a smart phone. Most recently, from a full charge with calls, texts, internet browsing, emailing, facebook, and over an hour of angry birds I got 31 hours of use before I put it on the charger at 6%. I used it the whole day, left it off the charger for the night and used it the next day just to see how long it would last. If they are making these kind of improvements I an very happy with the progress and they can have as much time as needed.

You are doing something seriously wrong if you think DK28 caused bad battery life. I suggest you try again and calibrate your battery. See my previous post, this thing lasts FOREVER.

Are you trying to say that is the release date? If so, you just destroyed your own credibility because they would never release a huge update on a holiday. No one wants to be stuck with a broken phone on Christmas sitting on hold for tech support. They most likely have less staff working too, which would just compound the problems.
funy thing is I dont care if you think its credible,Im putting it out there,if Im flammed Im flammed...And to clarify what my info is,12/20 is when they want to have RC2 ready for .4 version test phones,the window is mostly 5 days for bugs to be reported,now we are looking at 12/25-26,then if it is given the ok,it will roll out before the end of the year as expected,not everyone will get the OTA the first day.So I cant say when you will get it,only when they expect it to be done....And if you follow my trail, posted exactly when DK28 would hit 3 weeks before,I said 26-29. And Ive said this before,DK28 was supposed to be final with an update 2 weeks after the roll out to fix any unseen bugs.I mentioned this here and on SDX,does that seem credible enough for you?

Running Epic Experience DK28 at the moment. I've been getting GREAT battery life and very few issues.
A little laggy at times, but nothing serious.
Sorry asus, you have failed miserably. Quality control is almost non existent and your software updates are a joke. I've upgraded to 3.1 and after a couple of days my internet is so slow I might as well be on dial up. Pages either don't load or time out, or take forever to load. This thing is unusable! Tried different locations with different routers. This is a joke. Waste of money. I need a device that is functional, not wait for the "next update". Money back please!

A factory reset seems to clear most usability issues with the 3.1 update. Try that.
Wow well, Asus did a great job with the device. Do some research before you rant like that...
The problem here is Honeycomb sucks right now, in reality the hardware is too early for the software (for once!)...
You got to be kidding me? all I hear is you ranting about not being able to load webpages for whatever reason it maybe... I think Honeycomb isn't right for you and not Asus, they've provided plenty of fixes and they'll provide more fixes in the future to make the Transformer more stable as it is now.
Maybe come back in a few years time and you'll probably find honeycomb more stable for you to use...
@rilot
If I do a factory reset then I have to install and configure all my apps. Sorry, no time for that.
@andrewklau
Your explanation is senseless. Fact is that this thing is not usable for me. Maybe the uber geeks have time to install-uninstall, configure, reset and all that crap. I need a device that's functional out of the box. I'm convinced that after the next update, there are going to be new issues while asus tells us to hang tight while the next one will solve eeeeeeverything....and so on and so on. Sorry to have hurt your feelings fanboys. I see I touched a nerve. When I shell out my money for something I expect something in return. Not trips back to the store for exchanges because of poor QA and software that sucks. I'm sure I'll get flamed, but it's ok.

You were an unlucky statistic. Stop whinning and RMA it already.
Works perfectly for me. Using dolphin browser and opera.

And I have the 16GB Transformer and everything is working perfect; smooth as silk transitioning between screens, no dead pixels, almost no lightbleed, flash in browser plays wonderfully.
I'm becoming ever more frustrated with people hopping on this forum and ranting about how the device is so awful.
This thing KILLS my iPad one and the price left me not even considering an iPad 2. Everything i've done on my TF so far out does my iPad 1 by a landslide; reading books in portrait mode on this screen is a treat and having the 10" screen also works wonders when playing multiplayer games like Fruit Ninja or Glow Hockey 2.

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.

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..
