just sharing an observation... means nothing much...

in today's the star...

Asus TF got small ad at main section (Nation).
Acer Iconia got big advertisement at business section.

maybe in TF2 (with tegra3)? doubt asus would wanna pay royalty for codecs on machines already sold...

sorry guys... i will try to update Pg1 by this week -- very tied up at the moment...

i know a few things already pending -- update owner list, compatible games and also videos...

sorry, ya... :S

i know this one is a bit late...

i think this is the 1-to-1 replacement. it would be similar to other manufacturers... usually first week is 1-to-1. after that, it will be repair the unit.

yes, going thru the shop you bought from might cause delay... i think i mentioned before that evernew did advise that i go directly to service centre as they may only send units they get after about 1 week or so. they send in batches.

ya, i think the 1-to-1 won't really be a 1-to-1. you probably still need to wait for stocks to arrive. i think we had one owner commented about that -- taking a while (few weeks?!?) to get replacement (or maybe not even gotten it yet?)...

i guess, that's the problem with TF at the moment... demand more than supply.

for me... i think i will wait it out. plus, my 'defects' are small issues i can live with -- mainly light bleeding.

i kinda like the stock browser feel too... very much like Chrome -- can tell i like to use Chrome?!?

but i have been using Dolphin HD. quite similar too and i'm beginning to like it a lot! now using Dolphin HD as my default browser. do try it...

specifications mentioned on marketing brochures... if you read fine print, normally will tell you how the time is derived. in TF's case, it could be playing some video...

but anyway, it depends on what you have been using it on, etc... if set screen brightness to 100%, 100% volume, download stuff, play flash games, use wifi, etc... sure finish faster than 9 hrs...

it was one of the apps i wanted to download... until i found out -- no video calls on android. so, gave up and now looking into just using Google Talk. well, android is Google's product... so i guess should use more Google services.

just to clarify...

skype apps is not available in MY via Android Market.

this official skype apps for android DOES NOT have video chats. if you check Skype website, its also mentioned. the skype apps is only for voice/ text.

on a side note, i'm not sure about skype apps for ios (iphone). not sure if got video call function or not.

and yes... because of the lack of video call function, i din bother to install Skype. i tested out Google Talk with video function) and my first test -- i'm happy with it. but i've yet to do a comprehensive test...

ya, i just went to check out skype website.

skype for ios (iGadgets) has got video... the download page for ios even says "Skype for iPhone – now with video"

still no such luck with Skype for Android. i guess that might come in future versions.

ya, i think it should be soon as well...

but for me... i am heavy Google user -- use lots of their services and my contacts are all ready for import. so Google Talk should also be fine with me... i guess just need to convince my contacts to use it. but if i'm not mistaken, Google Talk can do cross-platform... but not sure if its video or just text messages. sorry... too lazy at the moment to surf and check.

the TF should be fully charged after about 2-3hours. but you probably see it as 99%. you can consider it as fully charged.

personally, sometimes i dun even wait for full charge...

as for playing rmv files (this is the TVB movies, isit?), I use MoboPlayer. When I launch MoboPlayer, i just point to the folder where my movie files are stored -- usually i leave them on the microSD card.

(i think -- recalling from memory) you need to browse all the way to the top folder... and look for removable and then look for microSD then then your movie folder... i

hmmm... it din work for me... i wonder why. that's why i found it troublesome playing movies... dunno why when i click on the movie file, it says cannot find player or sth... so i end up have to open the movie file using the player instead.

but when i open photo files, it will ask me use what to open... i wonder... maybe my wife adjusted some settings for movie?!?

i think he means some games get stretched to full screen and thus, the images become blurred.

i know some games are like that... they were meant for small screens. i dun think we can do much about them -- have to wait until the dev work on a higher-res version...

i won't really say they are that bad... but just that different people at different times get different treatment.

as for dun care... again, based on my experience with them... its not they dun care... but they were being upfront -- if i claim anything thru them, it would take longer coz they go by batches... meaning compile all problematic items (be it notebook or tablets, etc) and then send one-shot to asus. this can be once a week or so.

again on my own experience... during the launch... the extra guys they had at the shop were knowledgeable. after that... when i went to collect my dock... some of the guys at the shop dun really know the product. so it was hard for me to ask them anything 'technical'.

but at times, they were bordering on being 'unethical'. one example is... the 'free leather case' that came with the TF. on launch day, we were told it costs rm199. in actual fact, they were selling it later at only rm99.

Added on June 30, 2011, 8:21 ami suspect some of these developers were using low-res images. on smaller screen, you can't tell the diff... but when its exploded onto the big screen, you can start to see the images are not sharp. i think partly this has to do with making the package small. since tablets came into the picture only recently, developers din not anticipate that using low res would be a bad idea...

is this the one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.baidu.padinput

dun use any and dun intend to... better way is to scan your pendrive before insert into TF.

i use Avast! AV. free for personal use on the PC.

could mean your TF infected with something?? you got root or load apps from grey market?

@littlekev i suggest you also lodge a complain with the tribunal. if i remember correctly, its supposed to be only rm5 or so... maybe even free...

sadly... this shows the greediness of some shops. if they give you a unit they have, it means they get 1 less sales. so naturally, they try to delay you and get the sales instead.

but i'm kinda disappointed as well that asus is not coming down hard on their dealers/ distributors.
