QUOTE(ahtiven @ Jun 5 2011, 01:22 PM) i dont think it would make any difference, if at all. clearly this is a failed marketing strategy from ASUS, from the moment people had to re-queue for purchases already clearly shown this. 150 is just a figurative pre-order number as they had 200 units(if not more). they wanted to create hype but then, this is no ipad2. nonetheless, the sales guys were friendly but the failure from marketing perspective could even be considered as a scam. i've called up evernew on friday and they did explain to me the stocks that the other resellers had are a separate full set batch but they are limited units. While it is not fair that we spent our time and hassle to line up and all that but didnt get the full set first, we were the first 200 to use the tablet first, which could count for something at least and given the free sleeve which is a small consolation. I'm not entirely happy with the situation either but i considered this: i dont have to fight with others later on to get the dock. Assuming I (or yourself) did not go to mid valley last saturday to get the tablet (and paid deposit/full amount for the dock), we would have to then fight with others to buy the full set units before the could have been potentially sold off (which i think some resellers are already out of stock but i think still got some might have full set available, no idea on this but i do know cycom is out of stock based on their thread). so this is the thing that i considered and i think we should be happy about this. We're still getting a fully functioning device, just not the full transformer set which hopefully we'll get it soon enough. I too want the keyboard dock now but its just something we have to live with. Truly bad marketing on asus side. I do somehow hope they surprise us and give us something free in return for our loyalty and patience as a customer although i kinda doubt it since we already got the sleeve..but we'll see...maybe we should complain more? i dont see anyone complaining on their facebook site  Added on June 5, 2011, 7:36 pmQUOTE(shark7 @ Jun 5 2011, 04:21 PM) U reply late  . I was looking at the iconia looks good but looks like it lag a bit comPared to TF. In the end i buy Tf.. But the keyboard looks a bit lag and hard to connect with the tab. Android market doesnt works well as phone android market.. Hurm btw.. The seller said that the usb can connect to 500gb hdd.true?@kwong I buy in lg floor i think.near a way out of lowyat. The shop name samsung but it combines with asus and other company. Infront of celcom promo .i buy with a dock rm1799. I was also looking for ipad 2 but most seller sells at high price and they said cannot be jailbeak.. if not mistaken even 1tb hdd also can work, i saw a youtube video before about 1-2 weeks back, maybe u can try search for it.

It works but playing video using rockplayer is laggy and make my tf hang. Need to turn off n on again. Btw my biggest prob now is i can download any apps at all now. Android market says that i need to go to my apps to establish connection . Other thing is the keyboard. I insert it , there a click sound and there a cursor which mean its already connected but i can move the unlock slider to the right? Maybe its not fully connected with the keyboard?

for u guys that are facing lag typing in website especially here in lowyat.net and xda-developers.com give opera mobile 11 a try.
it seems to completely solve the laggy typing for me irregardless of asus keyboard or honeycomb standard keyboard. Now can feel the power of multitouch capable keyboard cause no more lags :-)

erm chrome sync not useful to me at all compared to the lag free typing I'm enjoying now. anyway, if u have plenty of bookmatks that u need to have then u can make use of opera link and do the import from PC then sync to your tablet.
ps : on notebook my main browser is Firefox :-P

QUOTE(Maxsimax @ Jun 5 2011, 07:10 PM) I am still pondering which to choose between Ipad2 and Transformer!! Help is needed!! How's the apps availability now for Honeycomb? angry birds is available. so is fruit-ninja type of game. usually when ppl ask abt apps, they just mean that. :-) Added on June 5, 2011, 10:02 pmQUOTE(mikeeeee @ Jun 5 2011, 09:47 PM) erm chrome sync not useful to me at all compared to the lag free typing I'm enjoying now. anyway, if u have plenty of bookmatks that u need to have then u can make use of opera link and do the import from PC then sync to your tablet. ps : on notebook my main browser is Firefox :-P a my main browser on notebook is also chrome. that's why I kinda like default browser feel - feels like chrome. but I guess no choice, maybe will use alternate browser for problematic sites.

Kindly advice do you see anything extra in your notification bar below like something about a firmware downloading or anything? if not, perhaps you can try to shutdown and start your transformer again and try check update again. also this depends on your internet connection, if it is slow or intermittent (bad line, keeps trying to reconnect to the server), it may take a while. EDIT: Just tested on my tablet too (even though i already have 3.1 installed), takes long time to respond but at the end it does respond with no updates (for me cos i'm already on 3.1). Just try again and see how it goes. Or try again later if it still doesnt work. This post has been edited by CyberKewl: Jun 5 2011, 10:14 PM

Kindly advice just leave it on or restart. patience is the key. it will arrive. in the meantime, enjoy the tablet. dun let the lack of 3.1 stop u from enjoying the TF. QUOTE(irenic @ Jun 5 2011, 04:03 AM) luckily u asked about the video files with embedded subtitle.. will try it tmrw.. i've tested 1080p .mkv and .mp4, stock video player can play it smoothly. the above reply is from sensation thread. I though processor for TF is similar in terms of sped but sensation can play 1080 files?

Do check in the settings > about tablet > android version. If its 3.0 by right there should be an update unless yours is a different version (perhaps you are using a custom ROM - if you dont know what this is then nevermind, means you're not using a custom ROM). Also let us know your build number for reference to know if it is the WW version, US version, TW version, etc.
