Only for games that requires high rate of refresh rate. Generally, most IPS suffer from this problem, except the higher end model like H-IPS where it has been improved dramatically. Still, not all would be affected. Perhaps those who play FPS (First Person Shooter) game will be critical of it due to the ghost image.

is it some sort of vsync kind of issue? btw i'm waiting for this to launch with the dock, well worth the price compared to xoom

i have some questions.
This pad is running on andriod platform, so can it replace my laptop? as in can I run microsoft files (document/powerpoint), photoshop on it?

I have zero knowledge of the andriod
*
cannot replace your laptops functionality to run windows. as far as reading/writing normal document and powerpoint files i believe should be no issues but not so sure about the formatting (its like using staroffice and editing your word/powerpoint files -> could lead to formatting issues). photoshop..there's photoshop express for android but not sure if available for android 3.x (honeycomb). photoshop express only allows basic editing, not sure about other photo editing software on android. conclusion is that it can never replace your laptop, its just like ipad 1 / 2 cant do the same either.

its really a bargain at 300 actually since its battery + keyboard dock + 2 usb ports + card reader..it suits my need when i want to type with a physical keyboard and when i want to transfer stuff to the tablet. for those who are ok without the keyboard dock then go ahead just get the tablet lar..no biggie, this is just up to you entirely, no need to get snappy rite? tongue.gif

Dunno why U so tense up on this dock?
Do u see me selling Asus eee pad? Did I hard sell Asus Eee pad to anyone?? shakehead.gif
I am a tough nut that believe in Choices.
Everyone had their choices. You dont want doesnt mean other dont need it.
*
my point exactly, dont like then dont buy lar..not a big deal..so many choices out there. also the analogy of buying all the stuff at 10% discount is just..haha..nothing to say lar...why i said RM 300 is a bargain is because of battery pack + 2 usb port + card reader. Apple's "awe-inspiring" keyboard dock which only works in PORTRAIT mode (lame right?) already costs RM 228 (if i recall correctly) not including battery pack + usb ports + card reader. I think if those extras thrown in probably about same price or even more (cos its an apple!). anyway, no need upset, dont like, dont buy. simple as that.

In JB - go and get in Spore .Stocks now available - S$ 799 with dock , about RM 1957
As the offer to first 150 no more, if buy in KL now will be RM 1499 + RM 429 for dock, total  RM 1928

Yes, slightly more expensive but more conveneient if you have warranty issues to claim and also at same time plenty of choiuces on accessories
Johor Bahru despite a growing city, when come to gadgets updates is shit ; Landmark and even Danga IT Mall are both places for only outdated stuffs. I guess most JB guys buy in Spore
I buy a lot of my stuffs in Spore even though is 1.5 hours away, which is still nearer than KL 4 hours away
*
actually if not mistaken not the first 150/200 entitled for RM 301 for the dock but rather, if u buy the transformer + dock together u get it at a price of RM 1799 when it officially launches in June. The RM 429 for the dock is only applicable if you bought the transformer first, then later on buy the dock separately not as a package (this is my understanding). do correct me if i'm wrong smile.gif

i bought the full set... along with another promo package they were having at MV -- hdmi cable, screen cleaner + microSD card.

now i'm just wondering how useful are the extra stuffs... keyboard. not sure i will actually need or use it often. probably i will just consider it as an extra set of battery.

microSD. originally was planning to load my 1080 movies into the card and try watching it from Transformer. but most of my movie files are bigger than 8GB (the size of the card). then found one that's 4GB and when I copied, can't... card is in FAT32 format.

i din try it out yet... can I format the card to NTFS, copy the movie file and then try it out on the Transformer -- as in, can the Transformer read NTFS format? well, will check back later and see got reply. i'd probably be googling this anyway... smile.gif

hmmm... someone else also asked this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044559

also, the guy mentioned of p35 of the manual. what manual?!? i only got like a 10page booklet that explains the hardware buttons, etc... Grrrrrr....

you are almost right.

the first 150/200 for the dock @ rm300. smile.gif
*
I was there too to buy the full set. I only bought the HDMI cable as I dont need the microsd + screen cleaner and I feel that the price of the microsd seems a little pricey, not to mention that there are many fakes out there so I didnt want to rush into buying it. your 1080p movies are MKV? I tried playing MKV with rockplayer and mobo player on both hardware & soft decoding modes but found that the audio and video are lagging somewhat. So far only tried mp4 (h264) 720p and works flawlessly with no lags. do let me know if you managed to get 1080p mkv files played smoothly.

i've tried a 720p youtube video downloaded using tu**mate and it was very smooth. Tried with both the build-in honeycomb gallery and moboplayer to play, no issues. Havent tried anything that is 1080p yet tho.

i remember a checkbox in the transformer settings for installing development tools (or sth like that).

does that mean if i check it, i can do side-loading (if the term is the correct term to use) without needed to root it?

just curious... the theory is... check this box/ option, download and install the apk file instead. would it work? i guess i could try it if i feel adventurous.
*
you dont need to check that box to install apk's outside of the market, you just need to check the box "allow unknown sources" (or something similar) in the settings area (cant remember which settings is that, just go through them one by one, not many anyway). Then you can install the apk through the file manager or other 3rd party file managers if you have them.

for the checkbox you're referring to it should be for connecting the android adb to the tablet much like for android phones as well for development purposes. you could push / pull files to / from the tablet but pushing may be restricted to folders that you have permission to (unless you root, you would then have full permissions if i'm not wrong). i havent done much adb lately so do correct me if i'm wrong smile.gif

Gorilla Glass also can scratch lar... my N8 edi have a few scratches, even iPhone 4 also have....  >.<
better safe then sorry, just spend and put only... at least u wont be replacing the LCD when it get scratches...
my bad, like mike said, it's "About tablet"... i forgot the exact word being used
*
well yeah it is scratch resistant rather than scratch proof but i think is better than those non-gorilla glass tablets..any suggestion where to get the SP then? so far i find it hard to get SP, i think for transformer probably need to get custom one unless able to find official one?

ya, lots of ppl think scratch resistant = scratch proof. smile.gif
*
those who think that scratch resistant = scratch proof means they probably didn't do well in their english during secondary school time. or probably dont play much RPG games..for those who have played RPG games will know that there are different levels of resistance against certain types of damage such as fire, ICE...so conclusion:

Gorilla Glass = Scratch Resistant
Scratch Resistant != Scratch Proof

AND

Gorilla Glass != Scratch Proof

AND

EEE Pad Transformer TF101 therefore is NOT scratch proof. End of rant tongue.gif

Yea mine also lags but abit smoother than previously d especially on default player.However 720p that is properly encoded with optimum settings in mp4 runs smoothly

can share your settings? i never able to encode and playback super smoothly, sure got some lag that will irritate me one.


Added on June 1, 2011, 10:02 pmI did noticed however the recorded video is much smoother, not so choppy like before
