finally proof that my eee pad sensor no problem.

just the software (apps) support issue only.

btw, the screen reflection really annoying .. apply a screen protector can reduce the reflection level? .. hopefully

I want to go and buy this unit on Saturday but after going thru the threads, seems like it has a lot of problems such as accessing the android market, patching here and there to get things done. All these back me off. sad.gif

if you plan to get this Sat... i think you might be disappointed. seems they will need to wait for new batch to arrive and from what i heard last sat, already a lot of ppl place order and is on waiting list.

as for disappointed abt the complains, i think the access to android market is a small issue that will be fixed soon. from what i can understand, basically the market is not able to detect Malaysia + Transformer combination yet. i would like to think this will be fixed in the next 2-3 weeks... which i think is the time when the next official batch arrives -- that's what i overheard them tell the waiting list ppl anyway.

but other things... so far, i think is great. Can browse the net, check emails, view photos. plus, not all apps are affected. i mentioned somewhere that i was able to download 4-5 flashcard apps for my son. no problem with those. in fact, mainly its the games that give me this error.

These market access issues will be fixed I believed in the new firmware. It is Honeycomb that is facing the most problems. Those who has another Android phone ( Froyo or Gingerbread ) can always just download your apps to the phone and just transfer the apk file over - a bit more troublesome but is still a good solution

The tablet is a great device and all the market problem is not asus fault... i can confirm it by using uk vpn i can access the full market without rooting, us vpn seem like the same case without using one...

I might getting one of the vpn due to this is wifi only device and i might use public wifi which is not safe...

ya, but i guess ALL smartphones and tablet manufacturers should take note... make sure your original settings can download and play Angry Birds. LOL... Serious. if you check all the complains, its usually "I cannot download Angry Birds".

but ya, other apps seems fine. i reported earlier i could download flashcard apps for my son.

actually, i think this is a better implementation than Atrix.

but in terms of sales, it would probably reduce their own sales since with this, there's a possibility that people dun need to buy two device (two device means one phone and one tablet from acer)... note: i'm assuming the tablet dock will be a dumb dock and does not have a processor. processing will come from phone.

right now, ppl might have a smart phone and also own a tablet. you have data on two device. you buy two processors. with this padphone, everything is on phone (again, this is based on assumption of processor being only on the phone). when docked to tablet, you get a tablet instead. think of motorola atrix but instead of notebook, its tablet.

hey guys, wanna ask u - when you got your transformer, were you able to turn it on without first charging it or did you have to charge before using it? I'm asking because i saw some were able to turn it on when we paid for it on saturday at MV to test out. But my unit was not able to turn on until i charge it at home.

On straight away with 5x%

On default all batteries should shipped out from factory with 60% coz its optimal for storage and battery lifespan

din try. but when i connected to power, it turned on by itself. so completed the initial setup and pressed the power button after that (put it to sleep). not an easy task coz the urge to play with the new toy is sooooOOoooo great. but told myself... charge first, charge first...

but i would think it should not really be a problem... anyway, got 1 yr for warranty, no?

I saaw a thread on xda having same prob as you. Apparently the battery seems to be defective coz having trouble to charge or low capacity. I forgot. But if you having no problem with either of those then it should be fine i guess?
