As the Market issue can't download apps due to region, can it be solved if I create a US GMail account?

tried a few 1080 files in mp4 and mkv format. different encoding. these are just some movie trailers ranging from 180 - 400mb.

i can get image on some. on others, blank screen. no sound.

for the files with image, it is not smooth. not very jerky but definitely not as smooth as watching on a high-end notebook.

i guess playing 1080 movies should be possible and better with tegra3.

actually ipad units have light bleeds too but i guess should be less likely to have. maybe 1 in 10 compared to transformer's 2-3 in 10.

for the market problem, i posted another option on the first page -- which is using proxy. do let us know if the proxy works. i got all i need for now. so no plans to do any download.

ya, i find typing is a bit slow and annoying on the default browser. probably will try dolphin HD as that name gets mentioned quite often. annoying = when trying to reply to forum, keyboard pops up at the 'wrong time'. is there a way to set it so keyboard won't pop up unless i press some button. i though there was such option and i checked it, but keyboard still pops us.

For 720p movies mkv , it will play smoothly if the encode is using base profile. However most of the source available for download from internet are most likely encoded using high profile.

Yes iPad 1 or 2 both have bleeding issues and iPad 2 is as prominent as Transformer. Lotsa my friends noticing the bleeding on their pads too.

Finkl1 , come come get the transformer hehe

Oh and with regards to ad hoc wifi conectivity, our transformer are not capable of it by default, in fact no honeycomb tablet can.however, if you are rooted then it can be done. All u need to do is to replace the wpa_supplicant file with a modified one. The file and steps can be easily found by googling or xda forum :-)

went to owyat today .
test the asus transformer,looks nice .the screen view is good.
camera abit sucks. i really want this tab.

before i wnt to buy this i wanted to ask few ques
1) can the usb (in the keyboard) use broadband internet ???
2)will there be a 3g version of this transformer??
3) i need an apps that works exactly like vlc on iphone/ipad .vlc can play all video files so far and no lag .
4) the microsoft office(polaris office) does it works well ???like a pc msoft office ??
5) should i buy the tab now or wait for 3g versions or other models?

I found that the android default on screen keyboard is a lot more responsive than the Asus one. I can now type faster. Better user experience. :-)

have u tried the proxy method? for this method, you might need to try a few until you get a fast and reliable proxy. i remember having tried like 5-6 before i found 1 i could use. even then, it was quite slow. but it was better than not being able to download anything.

No work... haven't try... will do now....

Did anyone solved the wifi connectivity issue where you have problems connecting your home wifi router?

The first method of using @googlemail.com isn't working for me.

So I try the second method which is the proxy thingy. My market apps is taking forever to connect now. Ya, I can remove the proxy settings so what's the point to go back to the square one?

I don't understand why the heck google want to implement so many regional restrictions. The restrictions are even worse than appstore, appstore is not so strict, why google want to make it this way? I thought open source should be even more "open"?

I can't even find those popular and simple apps from market such as skype, pingchat and whatsapp. Why under the sun would google want to hide it from tablet?

Let's take an example, I can install waze in my iphone without problem. I found waze from android market but i can't install it due to country restrictions. Why the hell in appstore we can install but not android market? I thought android is an open source OS and as well as the market?

Watsup with all the hardship? Most apps i just google for its apk n download. No prob at all. While waiting for google to add msia into its market, ill just dl them..

I don't mind to download the apk but can you share me the source / URL where you download it from? I tried coolapk but can't find the apps I want (whatsapp, pingchat and etc).

whatsapp don't think can work with tab since it requires a sim to register your number, that's your id.

Skype is available in market, I can search and install without problem. not sure bout pingchat though...

anyway I use the proxy method and it works beautifully, immediately after signed in to market through proxy, I've removed the proxy setting and surf market via direct local internet without problem.

coupled with market enabler, I can also surf US market in case the apps I want is nit available in malaysia market :-)

mike, you mentioned market enabler, do you root your device first before installing and using market enabler?

Added on June 5, 2011, 1:02 ambut for whatsapp, i can key in my phone number and let it send the auth code to that phone, right? iPod user do not have a sim too but they can still register whatsapp.

not sure bout whatsap man, just now I tried to install it, it says can't recognize my device during installation :-( so I assume its looking for a sim or something messed up.

so iPod also can use what's app? nice ... I've email whatsapp support asking about compatibility with our tabs, see what they replies if they replies haha

yes u have to be rooted to use, market enabler.

anyone rooted their honeycomb 3.1 on transformer?

duno why
