I can list ten things I like about the epic 4g but One thing I love in particular is the sound quality for music playback...the sound is so full and lively that it sounds as good or better that dedicated music players. For reference purposes I am using my shure e500pth headphones (which would definitely reveal sound processing flaws on phones with terrible dac converters such as the evo, i know because i had a evo and compared it to the epic and quickly switched to the epic). I also use poweramp (the paid version of course) due to its excellent eq and flexibility for shaping the sound to your liking). Let me know your favorite thing about the epic
Porn looks great on the Super AMOLED screen.
^^^ see, this guy knows whats up ^^^
A month later and it's still the display.. I still open it up all the time just to marvel at how black the blacks are..
watching movies, looking at pictures.. anything visual is made better because the display is just THAT awesome. I'm not really in the market for a TV yet, but whenever AMOLED screens start showing up in decent sized TV's at an affordable price, I'm all over that!!

And the good news is OLED technology is super-cheap to manufacture, benefits mightily of economies-of-scale.
So, after the first ones come out and the manufacturers/dealers finish raping the early-adopters for their entire life's savings, the prices will come down, WAY down, on nice, super-thin, lightweight, giant wall-mountable sets.
Imagine a 65" screen that you take anywhere with you, unroll, tape to the wall, plug the thin, flexible cable into the electronics box, and watch HD anywhere you go.
Yes, Homer, that day is just around the corner.

Definitely the screen. Its gorgeous. So, so, so gorgeous.
My favorite things is when im showing someone a pic or a vid the first thing they do is say "damn what is this a hd screen? what phone is this?" and then they turn the phone around and look at it from every angle haha.. never fails. samoled FTW
I agree with a lot of poeple and say the display.
Although its something that I have been used to for over a year
Considering my laptop has the $400 optional Dreamcolor display (16million colors vs desktop version 1billion colors)
But the deep blacks are amazing on the samoled.
Its like a mini hdtv lol.

I'm going to have to say its the 4g...It rocks and I'm so glad I'm in a 4g market both at home and 35 miles alway in Boston. I cancel my home internet and now only use my Epic with hotspot.
I have to say the screen too, Every time a girl looks at it with my aquarium live wallpaper, they love it. (Good Ice Breaker)
Everytime I see another display, i might as well rub sand in my eyes.
The fast CPU and the hard keyboard.
Edit: The so-called 4G dl speeds are phenomenal! I DL Trinity rom (132 Mb) file in about 8 minutes.
2 things...
Speed and apps. I overclocked my Pre but still not close to what the Epic can do. I still have 2.1 on my phone and will wait til the official 2.2.1 comes out to upgrade which will make it even faster.
Once again, come from the Pre which their catalog has 4700 apps to date, the app catalog for Android blows WebOS away.
I am on the outskirts of Denver so we don't have 4G available but it will be coming. All-in-all, I am very happy with my upgrade.
I typically do not post raves, but this time I have to rave about the Transformer. This is what everyone that try's to do an android tablet should be making. I got the Gtab last fall and did all the moding to get a usable tablet. Worked pretty good I had to say. Until now. The TF is outstanding. I had the pleasure of quieting a couple friends with iPads on Friday. The TF tore through internet pages, video on Youtube and anything else they could challenge me with.
I have been a fan of Asus for awhile and will continue to praise their product.
FYI, buy from a reputable vendor and you wont have the headaches.
Yeah this thing is amazing. I remember watching a reviews before I ordered it, saying the back felt cheap because it had a strange pattern but it feels so nice, and of course, doesn't scratch!
+1 had to go show it to my old boss the ultimate apple product fanboy, he looked for a bit, then quickly found a reason not to talk to me anymore normally he would argue with me about how apple is far superior, there is no argument that really holds water in the ipad vs eeepad shootout
I completely agree. After I messed around with most tablets out there. (Xoom, Iconia, iPad 1 and 2, etc...) I finally settled on the TF and I do not regret a thing. I absolutely love the little guy. The transformer is easily my favorite tablet and product that I've purchased from ASUS.
Almost a year ago Asus was showing off that 12 inch win7 tablet/laptop/transformer, and I wanted it so bad back then...
Januari this year I bought the Toshiba Folio 100, and after modding it, it does work very well imo... But when I walked through a MediaMarkt XL store (just to look aroudn and play around with some stuff), I saw this transformer, and I knew I was going to buy it, but I wanted to make sure it really was what it looked like... so I read and watched a lot of reviews, and bought it the next day!
It's so nice that I even leave my 15" HP ProBook at home most of the time!
(The wallpaper is a live video wallpaper)
I have to agree on that.
The Transformer is a very well done and smartly design product.
Kudo's to asus !
The keyboard integration is so good that i'm using the tablet almost exclusivly with the dock.
It's light, easy to use, the trackpad is awesome, the connectivity is top notch and the battery life is....well it's basicly the longest battery life there is in any device. Want to use it all day long in your garden downloading movie, watching them and browsing internet while chatting with friend ? You can ! This thing just can't run out of juice !
Gratz Asus! Waiting for you to roll out Ice cream as soon as you can.
Same here, Kudos to Asus! I'm moving on close to 2 months since the release and couldn't be happier...no problems. And, oh so, glad I got the dock/keyboard that really makes it unique and above the rest.
And please with all the card slots, etc. it offers that others don't. Also, pretty impressed that they rolled out the new update in a timely fashion for 3.1, while it looks like other tablets were waiting.
Guess that's why it's reported Asus Transformer is best selling android tablet!
I'm a happy customer and use it every day, all day long most time with a great battery life between it and my keyboard.
I must say that I'm also very pleased with the TF101. There have been lots of other posts/threads which slam them for the light bleed, non-working issues, etc., but really, I think ASUS has done a great job considering that it's their first foray into Android, AND they come with a product that no one else offers (dock functionality). It takes a hell of a lot of QA to make sure that it's ready for production, and despite myself having to return a faulty dock, I also give Kudos to them.
In fact, as I was reporting on my faulty dock issue a while ago, I received a PM from ASUS themselves! They offered to exchange my complete setup for a brand new one (dock, tablet, cables, etc.), however I declined because everything is working great for me once exchanging my faulty dock at the store I purchased it from.
Getting that message and noting that ASUS themselves are watching these boards, as they know we have a great passion for 'pimping out' devices gives me another great feeling.
Has anyone else been in contact by ASUS on XDA?
Regardless, yes. Kudos to you ASUS!
I, too, love my Transformer plus dock. Mine has no light bleed, no creaking, no problems at all. And I'm a total n00b when it comes to Android, but by reading the manual and the helpful advice here and another forum, I've gotten most or all of my questions answered. If even a beginner like me can feel comfortable, Asus has hit it out of the park.

Review units are usually from pre-production or 1st production runs, and almost always have disclaimers that they are pre-prodution run review units. It also explains some of the early units that appear on the market having some QA issues.
I have a B05 UK model, and have none of the problems mentioned, it's got fantastic build quality, and my Apple loving boss has last week sold his ipad2 and bought one too after seeing mine+dock.
The days of Apple ruling the roost are long gone, you can get better and cheaper buy buying non-Apple these days. My phone is a HTC that's WAY better than anything Apple make, my tablet is an Asus and ditto....
My tab definitely feels solid too. I don't get all the "cheap" complaints because mine has been just fine and dandy. I do have a little bit of light bleed but it's really only visible when the entire screen is black, and honestly, it's something I can overlook. Just a minor annoyance, and I'll take dealing with it given the price
<3 the TF!
Have to agree pretty much with all the previous posts here. Have read most all the other posts of complaints and honestly while some were bonafide issues I rather felt some were suffering from too high expectations. My TF is quite probably from the initial release go-round and pretty much has been fine. A few annoyances? Sure. The dock battery drain is troublesome as is the charger (email to Asus was NEVER even acknowledged sad to say) but hoping future software fixes will be forthcoming.
Overall, I'm pleased and impressed.

well I can't tell if I have any light bleeding... I've ran several dead pixel and light bleeding test programs and all of the colors of 100 percent solid. My settings screen and my browser bookmark page look like they have light bleed but several people have told me that is by design.

I am very satisfied as well. I also have the keyboard version and it's not only usefull when writing longer texts (e.g. emails) but it gives the extra boost in battery life which is very welcomed!
I'm definitely not selling mine!
I'm thrilled with almost everything about it.
I also own an iPad and can comment without bias. The TF is better in nearly every way (especially the OS). The one area I think the iPad wins is the structural strength. It just feels tougher. I do like the really simple design but unfortunately apple let that spill over into every facet of the device.
TF for the win (especially with prime! 1.5)

My cousin, a huge apple fan boy, talked trash about my tablet for a while. Then he came over the shoot pool with me yesterday, and he saw my tablet with the keyboard dock, and he was like on nice you got a new netbook? I guess your tablet was not enough.
I told him this is my tablet and then showed him how it works, he was like Sh!t, why cant apple do cool stuff like that!!
"Android" steals the best stuff, and improves on it" I had to laugh at him.

Reality check.
Rational arguments favoring the iPad 2 would include build quality, form factor (half as thick and also lighter), resale value, screen quality (brighter at max, dimmer at min, less reflective), performance (iPad's PowerVR crushes Tegra 2, no problems with 720p h.264 and iOS 5 has no problems even with 1080p h.264 whereas my TF cannot currently decode 720p acceptably, negating for me the advantage of the 16:10 screen). Also consider O/S maturity and reliability (most obviously the default Honeycomb launcher+browser are junk although ADW+Opera are much better, if buggy), the development tools (the Android emulator in particular is laughable - the iPad emulator in XCode is literally ~100x faster), app selection (Netflix an obvious example, there are thousands more), app quality (same app on both platforms is almost always inferior on TF) - in fact I don't see Android app performance ever approaching iOS here on similar hardware due to the overhead imposed by the Dalvik VM. Also, iTunes movies, TV shows, audiobooks etc. are one click away (although you have to pay for them vs torrents/Handbrake etc). Maybe if I had I non-rooted non-wifi-only Xoom I could try Google movies - I wouldn't known since I have an Asus TF and it has not been white-listed yet (BTW this kind of will-it-install/run/work roulette would not fly on the iTunes store). AirPlay, AirPrint and Home Sharing also 'Just Works.'.
I guess none of these arguments 'hold water' to you but if Google, OEMs like Asus and users rationalize away these things I think you can pretty much kiss this platform goodbye.
... which would be unfortunate because the Transformer's advantages are not insignificant - for $100 less (32GB vs 32GB) I get the MicroSD slot (plus SD with the dock) which gives me 64gb swappable storage in addition to the 32gb onboard (vs 64gb total on iPad), Apple's 'walled garden' is breached so I can install 3rd party keyboards, cloud-based music players, launchers, widgets etc. I also don't have to worry about Apple yanking the Kindle app etc for not paying the tithe etc.
I have a rooted galaxy 7 and like it but the 199 deal has gotten my attention. So sell me on the xoom
Come on guys, help me out here
The Xoom has a high quality build, 10.1 inch screen, Honeycomb with ICS in progress (thanks Solarnz), sweet rom, Overclock to 1.7Ghz, playback of high quality videos, 32gb of storage, 5Ghz compatible Wifi, although the screen might not be the best quality, it's accurate and doesn't have issues (like lines or bubbles or anything) why the heck wouldn't you want it man? Have any questions, feel free to ask!
Will I need totally different chargers for it than the usual Micro usb stuff I have for my Incredible2? Does it play .Avi files?? I take it its easily rooted now and we have good custom roms? are there many Devels for it?
It does not charge off of Micro USB, it instead uses it's own motorola charger (which allows for much faster charging although obviously isn't as convenient. It sure does play .avi files, and rather well at that. I've never had an issue with them. There is only 1 real custom ROM (due to the lack of Honeycomb Source code until about 2 weeks ago). But it's rather nice in my opinion. The same developer that made those is also working on ICS at the moment and we're expecting some great things out of that. It is pretty easily rooted if you know how to work with adb even just a little.
Devels?

Amen to that.
For your video playback need use Mxplayer.It plays all videos i throw to it.
The screen is average(not the best around),the build quality is awesome,the weight is just a bit heavier than ipad2 but its reasonable because of its build quality.
And its speakers sound quality is awesome! :0

Well I guess you need to be sold on Honeycomb plus taking on a $30 a month data plan. I saw the $199 deal and got mad at first since I paid $599...but the $199 deal requires you to get a $30/month plan...which if you crunch the numbers for 2 years doesn't look too pretty.
As for the Xoom itself, I have nothing but good things to say about it. As previous posters mentioned the build quality is great, a little heavy but everything about it feels "solid". I have to put the HDMI out as a big feature. Think of the Xoom as a media player/tablet will play *most* of your music/video/pictures, on the big beautiful screen or through HDMI to your TV... but then it's also a damn excellent Android tablet that runs Honeycomb and WILL get Ice Cream Sandwich. Xoom gets a bad rep cause of the 4G upgrade debacle and the fact that it's not an "iPad killer", but IDGAF about any of that and you shouldn't either. It's a sweet device, bottom line...don't let "market share" stray you from Android tablets.. If anything to stray you beware of that Verizon deal because at the end of the contract you'll have spent over $900. If you already have a data plan on your Galaxy Tab then that might not be a big issue.
i just got it, i was afraid about the screen but i find its really good. I must say i have the sharp panel and except for a some ghosting,its doing very well. The acer iconia 500 has a real ****ty screen, you can see some thin lines all over the surface,colors are washed out and there is as much ghosting as for the xoom. On the other hand the asus transformer has vibrant colors and deep back, but the tactil layer is very visible and i dont like that. The xoom doesnt have all these isues. On most benchmarks it is often first or second. The battery use is the best than all devices for watching movies, every reviews agree about that, and it is the faster for charging.
Just hope you can get the sharp screen and not the auo ... this stuff is really boring, everyone should have the same device because we all pay the same price.
enjoy and welcome to the family. I was just about to toss my hat in the ring for this one but then I saw you picked one up. Good move. I recently bought a wifi version off of craigslist for $225 then found the moto fold case and standard dock for $40 (total). Sure the xoom is old... but that doesn't mean spit. Check out speck comparisons between the xoom and any new tablet today over at theverge.com. spec for spec the xoom is hanging with them all PLUS a barometer. I'm quite happy with my purchase. plus the dev scene is pretty active. The xoom is a GREAT buy still.

How would I know the difference.
I love my Xoom. It has a great build quality, the screen is great (I don't care if it isn't IPS, you won't notice it unless you do a side-by-side), it's the Google Device so easy to root, great speakers, and you get used to the power button easy (and I actually prefer it to the power buttons placed on the rim.)
It's also funny to give people the Xoom and watch them try to find the power button. But it's really a fantastic device that is probably only outclassed based on its screen.
It charges fast, too - like, REALLY fast. I think it has to do with it having two 3150mAh batteries and the proprietary charger. I thought the charger would be a nuisance but when the battery on my Xoom is low, I throw it on the charger for half an hour and it's up to 50% charge. It's fantastic in every way IMO.
I also got mine wi-fi 32GB refurbished for $329, and I do have a stuck pixel, but it doesn't bother me in the same way dust under my phone screen is a minor nuisance.
Don't forget the ROMs and kernels out there - I've tried them all and they've brought nothing but great improvements to my Xoom. I specifically love Tiamat's quick controls - the Xoom makes a good albeit awkward flashlight!
I'd only bother to sell it to you if I were getting commission. Go take a look at it and decide for yourself if it's worth $200 on contract. 8 months ago, I thought it was worth $600 on contract. I was wrong. They've finally delivered on the promises and I was able to cancel my BBB complaint.
I'm not sure it's worth paying $400 more than you in order to pay $10 less than you per month for data. You would still come out ahead by $160 without taxes. If I'm able to transfer this data plan to my next tablet, that would be good.

Alright cool, I was mostly referring to the commands to see which specific screen you have and such. But as you said, you cant tell by brand alone. Heres to hoping my xoom has a good screen
Picked one up for 199.99 for the wife she had been wanting a tablet with a ffc and data already included. This was a no brainer for me she doesn't care for wifi only versions that much because she really enjoys the back up of having data built into something. First impressions we both love it, I have a first Gen Ipad but I am sold on android tablets now after playing with hers for just a few minutes. Can't wait to pick up an android tablet for myself in the near future.
I have owned several android tablets. I received my xoom from an eBay auction on Saturday...a 4g model. I spent about two hours getting the unlocked boot loader route and CWM. I then installed the EOS ROM.
I have spent the last couple hours customizing the device getting this software that I wanted on it.
Based on the four hours I have spent with the device all I can say is......WOW.
I purchased on of the first Android tablets...the white pos from China. In fact, i may have had one of the first android tablet specific groups....Slatedroid was spawned from a google group I started.
I say this to say....I've been in this space from the beginning....I know a good tablet when I see one. I boughT and rooted a nook color. Solid but slow I bought the woot gtab...surprisingly slow. They've always been nice...kind of fun....but never really a mainstay for me. I have a convertible tablet PC and I always went back to that, even for basic consumption. I researched tablets for about 4 months this time before i finally pulled the trigger on the xoom. it seems like this Xoom might actually work.
The browsing performance of chrome is fantastic...not much latency at all.
The responsiveness of the Xoom overall is great.
The price put it at a solid value...and I have the option of 4g when I want. It didn't break the bank, so when the next gen stuff comes out I can give this to my wife.
So far...I love this thing. I'm on it all the time...and that's the true test isn't it.
I really don't know how it could be improved...ics is solid...
I'm pumped !
Cheers!
Matt

You are so right...Xoom is still the best overall tablet. With EOS and ICS 4.0.4 there is none better. I have been using mine constantly for a year and I have no immediate plans to replace it. It just keeps getting better, with the best developers around.
to bad chrome does not support flash otherwise it would be an awesome browser

Yes...I'm waiting for the hi-res....uber-core...units to come out. But Apple will never get my money. I don't want to discuss that here.
That's why I bought this Xoom used...to save some scratch, and cred with the wife, so I can get the latest and greatest in the fall.

I loved my Xoom from the day I bought it but its outdated now. Even on the android side of things, there are tablets coming out/out with higher resolution displays and more power under the hood.
I still use my Xoom, it's on my night stand as an alarm clock

Ive been disappointed so far. The TF Prime is a epic letdown. I mean really, where is this mystery super Android tablet hiding? Besides a Xoom running eos
I like this tablet!!!
Even with bloatware and not rooted this tablet out performs every 10 in tablet ive owned. It so much better than my asus infinity rooted running cromix. This is one reason i dont undrrstand some of the criticism in the forum, usally using a smaller tablet or phone or res. to say whats wrong with p600.
I put nova, and thumbs keyboard and the touchwiz is not noticeable. It looks like and acts like my other tablets only better. All my unrooted apps work. And now my rooted aps as well, and they all look great.
I use my tablet several hours a day. A tablet has been my primary device for the last couple of years. I tried a new notebook this year and i just couldnt handle it. I tried win 8. Salvation. I like the next smaller tablet size for holding, but the smaller bezel and light wt . Works for me.
The visual improvement is much better on old my eyes and book reading is easier than nook or my kindle. Niether paper whites.
Pictures oh yea the pictures look so much better than on asus with same resolution. I do more reasearch on this.
Sound could ne better but is better than 700.
I like this tablet and i havnt had a regrett buying it.

Try Viper Audio to help with the sound. It can be a bit tricky setting it up but the sound and customization is so much better. You can search the forums to get the links.

I had the tf700 as well. When it came time to pick up this year's models I looked at the 701 but the non standard charger and horrible I/o lag on the 700 made me decide to give Samsung another shot. My Original Tab 10.1 is still going strong after being abused by my 4 year old for a year. I hope this one holds up just as well.

Your process was the same as mine. The infinity had so much promise, it's a shame it didn't deliver. Maybe thats why i have a hard time with some of the comments. I knkw what slow and unresponsive on an expensive tablet is.
