Breaking News - Google cancels its 29th October event - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

Google has cancelled its October 29th Even in view of Hurricane Sandy, the new dates have not been revealed.
We will have to wait longer for the Nexus devices.
Sorry to post this over here thought this was a breaking new will delete this within 12 hours

Damn that's annoying. I was hoping to hear more about the Nexus 10. I hope the rescheduled event is soon.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
But, safety is a priority.

They should've showed us the new devices fighting with wind and with rain pouring on the scene. That would be epic. (just joking, safety first)

Good call..

Froyo August 6th Rumor

http://androidspin.com/2010/07/26/froyo-to-roll-out-on-3-devices-next-week/
sure there's no way to prove the validity of this, but it's always nice to have something to hope for in the coming weeks.
Oh great....Another rumor for everyone to circle jerk to.

Any 29th batchers get confirmations yet?

Anyone in the 29th batch get a confirmation yet. I haven't.

You're in Japan as well? I hope it takes only 2 days to get here. The wait is killing me.
Chinese new year starts I think today, if they wait to ship it will be 3 weeks.

I was one of those 50 un-fortunate guys whose shipping date changed from 9th Jan to 15-22 Jan and to 29th Jan, its already 3:00 p.m in U.A.E and no news from NI or factory. I'm not asking for any tracking no, just need a confirmation at moment that its shipped. I really don't know what to talk about this company at the moment. We all have waited so long with false hope. At-least NI don't fails us again.
Well, it is almost 8 pm in China at the moment, so I lost my faith in it at this moment...
why why why???
All i can say is HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

Keep your faith, but I think, fairytale figures are not sending any tablets.
You will wait in vain, I'm afraid.
Hope is what - the world lives on...

Think positive. Better to get adam in March, than next year.
Honestly, I am ok with it being delayed, but in all honesty its bad form to post a sarcastic blog about how everything is not delayed, and then have it delayed:

Better to have a Xoom in February than an Adam in March.
...all kidding aside, I'm really hoping they got the shipments out and just haven't updated things. With the holidays going in in China right now, it could REALLY slow things down and I'm not interested in waiting any longer.
--edit--
And to the topic of the thread, there hasn't been any change in my order status lately. (Moved from the 9th to the 15th-22nd window to the 29th.)

Yeah, I am not going to wait if my order gets pushed back again. This is getting rediculous. Their are so many great tablets coming out and if I can't get my Adam soon I am going to go else where. Don't get me wrong, I really want the Adam but I feel add if notion ink thinks that everyone is going to put up with continual delays without giving us any info as to what's going on. They should at least give us an update as it is the 29th.

I honestly cannot see us (the 9th > 15th-22nd > 29th club) getting their Adams for at least 2 weeks - Chinese New Year.
A shameful lack of communication from NI and hve you guys realised the "cancel your order has been removed from the NI preorder update page.
I have been a loyal follower for 9 months, I'm just disappointed to say I no longer believe anything posted by Rohan regarding hardware specs and especially shipping dates.
Rohan Shravan just outright refuses to update on shipping which is an enormous worry. The last he said was "2nd and 3rd" batches would ship on time and then slips in the Chinese New Year problem.
I don't even have a pre-order so i am thinking April+ for me(and many others) to have a chance to get one.
I don't envy Mr. Shravan to much, he must be under much stress from all directions.
Well, maybe........
- I read somewhere that a notification will be send only after it arrived in Hong Kong, not out of the fabric
- The cancellation link from our preordersite has been removed
- Rohan said in his blog the 2nd batch will be in time
- There is no statement of delay such as the last delay (12 seconds before end of day)
- Chinese New Year starts on tuesday?
So maybe, just maybe we will get our trackingmail on monday, the last day before Chinese New Year???
Fingers crossed :-o
Leon
I read someone in NotionAddicts requested a cancellation on the shipping date, and was told (s)he could still cancel as his (her) Adam was not shipped.
So, I rather assume the shipment was delayed without any notice / a change in the estimated shipping date on the NI site than get disappointed.
I'm pretty sure Rohan stated on the blog that all the Adams would be shipped out even during the chinese new year. And that a small batch of screens got busted on their way over, but the company that makes them will stay and fix the ones that got broken before they leave for the new year.
Here's his quote taken from the blog:
"The second & third phase of shipments will start on time.
Little bad and good news, one of our shipments for the touch screens got damaged while transportation which is going to effect a fraction of our customers. To make things worse, its New Year in China and every manufacturing plant is closed. But our touch-screen partners, Sinotek (also known as Sintek), will stay open for the Chinese New Year and re-manufacture all the remaining touch screens to deliver. I am making this special note, because we are really overwhelm at their response and want to thank all the employees at their firm who are going to miss their New Year celebrations and home visits."
So have hope! At least you made it into the pre orders. I have to wait until they open it up to the public.

Ice Cream Sandwich Launch Event Next Week

According to the Droid-Life article, ICS launch will be unveiled at Samsung's event next week. Wouldn't you think Google would be publicizing this a little more?
Other than access to more apps due to the scaling feature I haven't heard all that much about what other changes tablets will see.

Hopefully see the source code will be available so we can get even more potential out of this great tablet.
How long do you think it is going to take Samsung to update our tabs once ICS is released?
Hopefull we get this soon as I'm frustrated with Honeycomb performance and lack of tablet apps.
I'm on the verge of selling this after 1 month.
The event was postponed...
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/07/samsung-and-google-postpone-ice-cream-sandwich-and-galaxy-nexus/
Now they're saying it was out of respect for Steve Jobs... I'm all for honoring an icon in the industry, but this seems a little absurd to postpone an event that's a week later. What's the appropriate waiting period for other business to conduct themselves as usual???
Its supposedly the day of his funeral and some top Google people will be in attendance. And its not a day that "other" news is going to feature prominently.
Class move by Google, if you ask me. They'll probably talk about ICS/Prime later in the week, since CTIA runs through the 13th.
Well if his funeral is next week that will take away the show
Yes sounds cruel but is the reality

ICS Straight from Horses mouth

:O
Got me excited for nothing. That's old news. 2months ago, Feb 7th. We all know lenovo "says" they'll release ICS but start a thread if they actually do it in May, on which my money is June or maybe December (whatever) while they wait for carrier approval.
Now I've got that off my chest. I'd like to politely point out that this thread u started is pretty much useless in the first place.
Very old news.
D'oh. My bad fellas.... Thought I had searched and didn't see anything....
bsnf said it is still coming at the end of May http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-slate-tablets/OTA3-update/td-p/740217

Exactly. Just news. Until we receive the updates it all just news. Call me cynical but lenovo are full of sh**. And I'm hoping it'll be a decent rom, not some bug infested slow poke with a lenovo backdoor.
Considering the relative slow availability of ics i think that Lenovo is rather fast with the port. Good stuff.
First it was May but we're trying for April. Then it was May 22 but we're challenged to release in April. Now it's the end of May (but we'll probably release it in June). I think Lenovo is full of the stinky stuff too.

Haha, they've been 3493949394 times better than Samsung, so my money's on May 22nd.
Wow. Really? Surprised to hear that about Samsung. How's the hardware?
hope this will improve touchscreen reactivity after screen wake up.
four more hours.
And you better deliver, Lenovo.

I'm with you on that one.
I just check for an update and nadda, 0804 hrs here.
You checked? I thought the likelihood of the update was zero. The December timeframe is probably generous.
Given their track record to date I'd say it's likely spot on.

Sony's Unresponded Email Message.

Hi folks,
I too have pre-ordered the new Sony tablet, but I also have been rather concerned about it's delay.
So, I sent them an email outlining my concerns, but they have still yet to respond.
This is what I said to Sony...
----------
Hello,
Way back on the 18th February this year Sony unveiled the new Sony Xperia Tablet Z in Barcelona, and I admit I was rather impressed, however, you didn't launch this product immediately, instead you waited.
Although, I think Sony began to sense peoples' frustration and finally by mid-March started taking pre-orders, and so for me, and on the 20th March 2013 I did, expecting to still have to wait another 4 weeks or so, - and so I waited, - patiently.
And yet, shortly before the dispatch date, Sony called and left a message stating that their had been a delay, and that the month on the release date had been incorrectly entered. (15/04 should've been 15/05) - An excuse to this day I do not accept. - and so I waited impatiently.
And, now that time has arrived once again, and once again I have been informed (albeit, this time I had to dig for this information) that there is now an extended delay of another 10 days. and now I am simply bored.
Officially, you have insisted that there is no technical problem with this new device, and obviously your previous excuse of a simple clerical error was not true in the slightest, as you would have honoured the second and revised release date.
So, I am left wondering what has gone wrong, and whether to simply cancel this never-ending order. Based on your lack of truth thus far, I am concerned that I could be spending money on something that may have a serious underlying technical problem.
Since its initial display, it will now be well over 3 months, and in this industry it might as well be a lifetime. Given the sheer number of devices available to all, a whole quarter spent on one item in this class surely can only amount to mockery. And Sony will never get back on track if that is the best that they can do. Given that Android 5 (Key Lime Pie) is not too far away, should I really settle for the Tablet Z, or that Apple Ipad 5 is due for its unveiling soon also.
I really struggle to justify why I should retain this order....
----------
Anybody whom can shed any relevant information regarding this issue, sharing it here would be most appreciated.

look on the bright side
key lime pie is still far away, heck google didn't even announce 4.3 yet
this tablet still got a greatd life ahead
sony has opened an aosp github and this tablet already has official cyanogen support.
so no reason to worry there mate
if you pre-ordered, it should land on your doormat next week
Thanks buddy!
I'm already looking forward to it, as I'm pleased with the phone, and will hope to have the matching set.
I deliberately made my initial email harsh and contentious, to better gauge their response. But my spiky tooth seems to of proved that Sony CS are chicken.

Get use to Sony's non-support!
Don't trust when it comes to updates and released of phones/tablet. Look at Xperia Z they said 4.2 update will be there right after released.
Sent from my LT25i using xda premium
I called Sony.NL (although the sony rep sounded more like she was from Sony.Be) they said they had already started delivery and mine should be out may 23rd
