Added on May 20, 2011, 11:03 pmI read honeycomb has very limited app support, maybe angry bird is one of them?

Here is my Conclusion for EEE Pad and Iconia Tab

Iconia Tab Feature :
*Solid Body
*Come with USB port , Micro SD slot with protective cover , Micro USB slot to connect to PC , Micro HDMI Port ( i think only SONY has the cable for it )
*LED Flash light
Battery Life 8 hours *
Price : RM1599 ( with protective case )

EEE Pad Feature :
*Thin & Nice
*IPS Panel
*Speaker at the side nice for watching video
*Does not have LED Flash light for camera
*Battery Life 8 hours *
*+QWERTY keyboard (Easy typing for the older people)
*Extended Battery Life to 16 hours with keyboard
*USB Port & Micro SD slot is with the keyboard
Price : RM1499 (without keyboard) RM1799 (with keyboard)


The price is slightly different in the middle. 1499 ~ 1799. if you looking for more reliable i would go for Acer(since all the hardware you need is already built in). If you looking for Styling or longer battery life i would go for Asus with the keyboard. Or you can get it without keyboard cause it is Thin & Light and nice looking(just to bring in and bring out to surf internet , watch video , listening music).

How is the protective case look like?

I don't think this is an iconia or honeycomb issues. Recently Google has changed the way the Market works and how devs can sell their apps. If you check online other devices and phones are having this issue.

Thanks for your note. I lost touch on android market since lost my phone 2 months ago. I was using fruit pad until I got iconia.

A short while I will try rooting using gingerbreak method n post result soon

The case looks horrible and cheap ; will use it temporary. Such cases one can easily get at about Rm 30-50 range - it is made of hardcanvas plasticky like material. However It does protect the tablet well and it is quite thick



I will be in Singapore next Monday to look for those standup book type case cover - anyone interested let me know . Just help out - you just need pay delivery charges by courier which is most RM 20 only

Added on May 21, 2011, 9:05 amYou know I am just a hobbyist on these stuffs - buy, test and sell off . Will definitely keep the Tab . As for this Iconia will decide when the Tab 10.1 is out. Now fingers itchy wants to try the HTC Flyer but the price is a big turn off - going to lose a lot if I resell it

My phones I will keep the SGS II which I'd say is the best and greatest Android smartphone I have ever used - this is a monster ; it is blazingly superfast, does not lag at all, very stable and till now never freeze/hang.or force closures , a really unbelievable amazing achievement from Samsung. Their Galaxy S was a DUD - I sold it off in less than a month

Added on May 21, 2011, 9:42 amBenny, since you have both galaxy tab and iconia, can you post some comments on both? what is the main reason you will still keep the tab ?

i am new to andriod and looking for a andriod tablet now. looking for a light weight unit can i can carry around easily, can play on sofa, dining table, even surf net at toilet ! wuahahaha.... I wish the unit can b run at andriod 3.0++ now or in future. for me galazy tab 3g and acer was within my budget as both selling Rm1599 now.

the only reason tha stop me from buying samsung was it still running on andriod 2.2 (or there is already an upgrade to 2.4 / 3.0 ?) and is last year product. but I like the samsung weight.

I think if samsung official realease version 3.0 and confirm can keep on upgrade to 3.1 ++ defenitely i will buy 1 unit this month. even if there is a simple way to upgrade to version 3.0 also i will consider that. thanks.

Just rooted the Iconia with Gingerbreak 1.2 ; freaking easy - just run the apk file - select root - done within a minute

Added on May 21, 2011, 10:38 amThe Tab is great for portability. It does everything that I need well - browser, email, tweets, RSS and Newsfeed, EBook, at times watching youtube, movies - I have zero complains. I am now on cook rom Gingerbread and is even better, smoother, faster than the older Froyo
It fits nicely inside my longpants side pockets ( with the booktype leather case). It can make phone calls/SMS - another bonus
Battery life is excellent - my usage easily 10 hours straight - cam match ipad
I don't think this 7" Tab will have Honeycomb - it it does is a bonus ; if it doesn't nevermind as it is more than good enough for me
I have repeatedly say in the forums, having buy/tested so many gadgets ( smartphones, tablets, PDA ) - I must say the Galaxy Tab is my best most valued purchase I have ever make and then it cost me RM 2200 , now it is only RM 1500. I will probably sell off this Tab if there is abetter 7" alternative

I buy the Iconia just for test/main main saja. If I wish to carry a 10" tablet - I prefer to carry my 11" MacBook Air - this MBA was the reason I sold off the ipad which is to me a half baked overhype tablet and the MBA can do so much more for the same portability/size. As a hobbyist I will buy the Galaxy 10.1 and make a comparison study with it

Seriously as of now, Honeycomb is is still in its infancy stage. many apps still not optimized for it. What is attractive is probably is UI which is more user friendly. Anyway to me stock UI ( whether TOuch Wiz, HTC Sense, Motoblur,etc ) I never used . I always replace it with a plain vanilla UI and I customize it myself. I believe we will see more potentials in Honeycomb probably another 6 months - by that time you will see new hardware. I feel buying a tablet just based on the Honeycomb OS is wrong. If another tablet even with Froyo can serve your needs, you do not need Honeycomb now due to better hardware, more choices will be available in the coming months

mine rooted as well, installed Busybox and now in midst of running titatium backup.

by the way, frustrated with market problem. Most app shows either "the selected item is not found" or "not in your country".... have to spend extra time to download apk from PC...

I hv installed market enabled n faked us provider. Glad to say I can now download directly from market without error messages

Bro do you have to root first before doing the above? If not can give me some pointers on how to do it?

@benny888 let me know the cases you want to bring in yeah?

I am trying to find something similar to this:

Since I also use the iconia to do work, a case like that would definitely be good.

hi,
It is working on honeycomb 3.0?? any website links to show us how it works?? thanks

Market enabler needs root access. However, I think it only solve the error "this item is not
Found" but "country" error remains

Rooting this device is as easy as 123... try benny link to xda forum above


P.s. btw, I hate the stock keyboard, so slow n insensitive keep typo error

Will root asap then. Hehe
by the way which keyboard do you use now?

You just launch the app
First backup settings. Move to next tab select tmousa as telco. Tap to select on market access app or press down select fake provider if using market enabler. Close app. Launch market and you will see all paid apps

Added on May 21, 2011, 5:50 pmAiyoh don't blame keyboard maybe your typing skills. It is close perfect I don't see any issues with it. Responsive - it is not slow and letters appear immediately

I was using stock (original) but just swtich to thumb keyboard. See screenshot which is much better.

Added on May 21, 2011, 6:26 pm

I know for normal use is responsive. But I don't have big hand to hold n type fast
You r right.I notice the lag only appear when posting a thread like this one using browser.

I try keyboard tailor make for tablet ie thumb keyboard, the touch is better
