What's the point to having this awesome CPU and GPU when there are no games or apps out there to take advantage and probably never will. Should of bought a iPad , tablet apps are just way better on iPad bit I hate iOS lol
Where is all the development I know this tablet is pretty new but it seems maybe a lot of devs didn't pick up the nexus 9 or they are building as we speak.

We're now on the biggest Software and Hardware update in the Android history
The capacity problems are expected,but surprisingly most of the devs are doing their best to support Lollipop
Like ES file browser and MX player,ES had lag reading files and MX wasn't capatable last week,but now are now working perfectly
Speaking of games...those emulators and game streaming featue kill any mobile games easily,why do people care about them?
Also for people like me,I can't stand with the system unable to organize files by user
I hate iOS throw every songs or videos at the same place,ES and MX simply kill them all
I owned an iPad Air,sold it later after a week
I persuaded myself to keep it,but I eventually found it is still a garbage pad for me

What emulators are you using always have lag issues with those and what game streaming and I know lollipop is a huge update but now we have a 4:3 screen which I love but no apps are optimised for this screen and probably never will.

Actually I think a lot of apps and games will get optimised for 4:3 (if they aren't already) because the N9 started a trend. For example the new Nokia N1 has a 4:3 ratio as well. Many of the cheap chinese tabs have this ratio also.

Yea I'm afraid we won't get quality games/apps on Android for a tablet because android has so many sizes and screen resolutions and CPU/GPU combo. Yes I know iPad has been out for a lot longer but that's actually like making games for iOS because they can be followed in and don't have to optimize for 20 to 30 different devices . I love Android but I hope apps will be better optimized for tablets.
1.This had nothing to do with the N9 as your comparing app availability.
2. No reason to develop an intensive game for only two devices that can handle it.
Give it time.
Yeah your looking for Mrs right now vs what could be Mrs right.
This is just part of being an early adopter in terms of this screen ratio, CPU/GPU and OS. the good news is as stuff comes out, it feel like getting a new device all over again.
We may be able to play Tegra games when the Shield gets updated to Lollipop.

I admit, it looks really nice.
But I can't think of a single purpose where it would serve me any better than my phone would. It's only slightly less of a hassle to carry around than a laptop.. and a laptop can do much more.
I honestly don't get the craze.
I'll also admit that it looks really nice but the fact that it's a Samsung product makes me very reluctant to buy one. I wonder how well they will support and update it.
it has nothing to so with quality smh... Tvs don't receive updates and the fact that you didn't have an Android smartphone that received frequent updates nullifies your statement, I'd you were an epic owner your response would be different, my other point is that this thing does everything a smartphone can do basically, there are not that many apps optimized for the tablet. Android only released the sdk for honeycomb like a week or two ago, right now it has potential but that's about it

i dont have a laptop, but i love my ipad. with it having gone out of date just last week, i already am skimming the market for a tablet. i like having an android and ios device, but that samsung tablet looks sooooooo nice.... i'll probably keep my perfectly good ipad around for another couple of years, but still its always fun to look for upgrades...
i use my ipad as a laptop. i do homework on it and stuff. even compiled a powerpoint on it for a science project. but it has many shortcomings that android doesnt have. the problem with android is google mostly only makes apps centered around itself like gmail, google goggles, all search email and youtube stuff. only apple makes the slideshow, word, and all the other fantastic apps i rely on heavily on an almost daily basis. android doesnt have that yet.
also, nobody can say games on android are better than ios. nobody. mirror's edge, which came out with the ipad i think, is still better than any xoom game... and infinity blade has me totally addicted...
for now, apple has it right. the tables may turn soon, but if you are thinking about buying a tablet, i'd go with the ipad 2.
btw i'm not going to upgrade to the 2. cameras are worse than my evo's. why use that? only good thing is dual core. yes, slim and smart cover is nice, but not enough to upgrade when all i baisically use the ipad for is work in and out of school.

Without flash, most of the pirate streams on the net will be unavailable to Ipad users, you can watch flash video without flash through a browser conversion like skyfire, but not streaming content.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Ah, OK. Flash. The beta implementation is pretty good. Hopefully the version released on the 18th will exercise the tegra with optimized hardware acceleration.
Watching the video review on engadget of a guy watching a video on engadget made my head hurt this morning
Let me preface this with a statement; i'm no fan of apple. However Jobs and his goons have a valid point in regards to flash. Its big, buggy, proprietary, power hungry and just generally a piece of crap on all platforms including the PC.
From a development standpoint, it can be tedious. I would choose silverlight over flash any day.
From a video standpoint, I hope HTML 5 takes over.
Problem is that flash is everywhere on the net right now. It is hard to do daily browsing without it.
Where apple dorked things up is not allowing the normal technlogy darwinism to take place. Flash will fade like divix and real media did when flash took over. The difference in apples case is that nothing is available to replace it (yet).
Apple effectively rejected the technology without giving people an alternative and I hope it affects their market share.
Allowing people to select what works best is why the internet ecosystem works and evolves. Not allowing choice is nothing more than simple asshattery on apples part.

Well that is the "Seriously?" face. Pretty sure he is commenting on how ridiculous it is that the Xoom is bested by a year old iPad and demolished by the iPad2 in that test. That said, the linked image is a synthetic benchmark test and is not representative of any real world performance really. The Xoom is faster than the iPad for real world gaming, but is trounced by the iPad2.

If you want to use a ps3 controller, download sixaxis from the market. You can pair via bluetoothand map buttons to areas on the screen. It is great for games that don't want to support controllers. Not the best for dead space, since it wants you to rotate the tab and such, but great for 9mm, mc3, etc. It only works well with origional ps3 controllers, though.

Unfortunately the only way to test this game on A500 was to install this cracked version. I always buy the apps I'm using and I strongly encourage that people support the devs, especially when Android apps are not that expensive at all. I also have a collection of programs in "My apps", that I've bought and would never use again....but that's life, in't it
p.s. you have my "Thanks" definitely!
so thanks to this post bringing the game to my attention, I bought it, and beat it, was great fun! I read here, and in reviews people could not play in landscape mod (horizontal) I never had that problem on my Acer iconia a500 played fine in landscape mode. I just bought it the other day so maybe they fixed it, or the problem only happens on some devices.

I don't see much of an opening for a new player in the Smartphone war but good for them for trying.
The name alone is awful. I wouldn't want it on my phone.
FireFox OS maybe.
It's free software, and no DRM, unlike Android. But like Replicant, it won't get market share.
Couple interesting features worth discussion IMO:
"true multitasking" was the main focus. Active programs can be pinned to the homescreen as tiles

I loved MeeGo on my Nokia N9 and its swiping setup. I would love to be able to use it on my Nexus (Sailfish, that is). MeeGo has way better multitasking than Android has.
In my opinion, MeeGo is the OS that just is the most fun to use. Albeit more limiting than Android.

But without any apps to multitask with.
That's why I don't see room for a new player at this stage of the game. Android, iOS and even WP8 to a lesser extent are just too established for a newcomer to compete.

Good point. Though I am not an app person myself. It did have a good Spotify app (homebrew, that could actually search your own offline lists), a working Whatsapp (also way more customizable than any other whatsapp app) etc. It has a fairly strong dedicated community supporting it.
I hope Sailfish can handle Android apps as they claim. There's a Android logo 0:50 into their official introduction movie. I don't thing it will ever get "big". But a nice alternative for phone nerds like me.
Hi,
i'm one of the interested ones.
There is not really a lack of Apps. If we belive what they say, a lot of Android apps should run native on Sailfish. On the other hand there is a good system to port them.
There are not only the Nexus without software keys. The new Motorolla don't have them too. They're also open for developers.

Problem is, Google will not license the play store to them.
So you think it will be to hard for ordinary users to install apps? Don't you think they will create an own store application wich uses the google account of the user to install apps?
Otherwise there is only left to port them.
Props to them for trying. I agree I don't see google letting them into the play store, because frankly it won't help their sales at all. If they deny them play store access, that new os will fade away and be forgotten. If they let it in, then it has potential to grow and be a competitor for google thus taking away from more android licenses being sold.
It will be neat to see, maybe spark ideas for the main 3 os companies to license from and improve. They should change the name so it doesnt sound like you are saying 'selfish' with a strong accent

It will probably function like sideloading apps, youll have to download them to local storage and manually install them. Easy for us, but my parents? Heck no. lol
Looks like Metro and Android had a baby.
Meego should have been alowed to evolve under Nokia.

We're on XDA and that's what you are worried about?
Some of these features are looking really good! Hope to see it running on my phone very soon.
I can foresee this being ported to Nexus devices. Really looking forward to it.
good os but no devs
hi about the playstore u can hack it to the os and make it think it is running on android and using android phone not a real problem
u can install blackmart alpha or 1mobile market it looks like playstore
the real problem is there is no devs are working on this os!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why i think the android is boring sometimes and had to change it but when i look where to go the ios i hate it (don't ask why) cus i hate this apple but she has a cute phone only the 4s maybe some android ports make it good
tizen looks like bada
bada is app less (no apps)
webos who is care about it
firefox os its only for firefox browser in my mind
wp7/8 it is not open source
so the future os i think sailfish is
thanks.
According to various specialized pages in gigaflops and benchmarks, the GPU Adreno 430 810 snpadragon yield on its maximum frequency 388 gigaflops, while k1 NVIDIA Tegra tablet rendidira shield 850 mhz 326 gigaflops.
These data if real means that the HTC One m9 is the same or even more powerful than the nvidia shield tablet? you think? a greeting

Well, as a fun fact when I was playing Godfire on the M9 with my gamepad some friends asked me if I had a PS3 emulator or something. While I found that exaggerated, I'd say adreno 430 has indeed a great graphical capability, sadly there are very few games to explode its full potential
the M9 and its GPU is a gaming beast and its true that we dont have many games optimized for it, infact some old games like Riptide GP2 doesnt use it properly (you need to manually boost CPU governor)
but Modern combat 5 and Godfire are the best showcase so far

Been playing a lot of games lately, thermals are superb and I think battery consumption through gaming has also somewhat improved, performance is still quite good on the games I play such as Marvel Future Fight, Mortal Kombat X, Godfire, and Unkilled. Have not noticed any lags. I haven't done any endurance tests with screen on and idle throughout the day yet but I'll be out on Thursday so we'll see then

What rom, version of Android are you on? Perhaps 5.0.2 supports it.

After the android 5.1 update, there was another firmware update which included a security fix for a known issue which was named stagefright
If you want more information about it, here's a good place to start

FYI it was Google play services
Need for speed no limits released, for some reason Firemonkeys botched it on Android, its running in low res and worse than the previous Need for speed, hoping for an update
btw i just downloaded the latest version of Modern Combat 5 Blackout, the performance is simply phenomenal

Was looking at that but i'm seriously dubious about downloading any "free to play" games, so long as you can complete the game in the intended time and you don't have advantages taken away from you, that fine, but when you are forced to buy i think they should just offer a paid version.
Or low and behold, a choice?!?!? wouldn't that be a turn up.
here is another game to test the beast:
