i still dont know why asus dont wan to release the 3G version. even the same goes to iconia. any idea when they going to release 3g version ?
*
just curious as to why 3g model is still sought-after or selling... after all, most would already have smartphone that can double as router. otherwise, there's bound to be some wifi connection -- at home, cafe, office, etc...

plus, 3g version means having another sim card -- meaning extra $$$?

just wondering... or maybe its something i missed out?

I read and watch the review by Anantech. It seems that they have people who are very closed to NVidia. I heard about the device before even Asus shows it.

Another interesting feature but very well thought off is, when you dock the tablet in the docking without it connected to any power outlet, the dock will charge the tablet like transfering the power to the tablet. It reminds me of jetfire transfer power to Optimus prime.. ha ha ha ha

So now, the tablet has all the power and you can still undock not to worry where the battery is. ..... soo cool idea.
*
speaking of charging... read in XFA forum and they advice:
* charge dock and tablet separately (not sure if dock will have separate charger)
* dun charge tablet overnight

wondering if there's truth/ reason in the above especially abt charging dock and tablet together. i was planning to charge both together. then again, dunno how convenient, etc yet since still dun have the dock.

thing is, what could go wrong if u charge it overnight ??

if you notice, most modern batt/charger are "clever" type. It will cut the current when the charge is full. Although I don't have expensive tools to record data and prove this, but i do notice that when charging the charger is slightly warm and when its not charging, its not warm. Based on that, i notice that even i leave the tab charged overnight, the charging must have stop at some point because the charger is not warm at all when i disconnect it in the morning.

just my observation
*
ya, but from what i read in the xda forum, they said there's been reported cases on charger not working after that.

check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068593
QUOTE
**In order to avoid any problems in the future due to charging, Asus recommends you charge the dock and the tablet, via the mains adapter, seperately.**

**Also do NOT leave it plugged in overnight. There have been too many people saying their chargers no longer work after doing so, so the simple answer is, don't leave it plugged in for that long. It only needs about a 3hr charge max for the tablet part. The dock will take longer though.**

Not sure if this is related, but when I updated the tablet to 3.1 and once I dock it, it detected that the dock also need to be updated. So I hope this issue was resolved with the recent 3.1 update.

The 8 hours charge recomended by Asus, I think I saw that in the manual too. Hmmm
*
ya, dock update is normal. in fact, it fixes some issues.

as for the 8hrs, ya... but that's only meant to be initial time. after that, normal usage, the advice as posted in xda forum... dun overnight charge.

hehe , i always read reports/feedback with a pinch of salt. And the recommendation is by the user himself not Asus. Apart from that, i've being charging most of my gadgets overnight for most of the time and touchwood no broken charger yet and i really don't see why this particular tablet charger should be any different smile.gif
*
well, the guy who posted says "asus recommends". i assumed he got an email reply from tech support or sth. i do recall there was a link on that post. will check it out later.

but ya, same here... i also charge my notebooks & phones overnight. no fried charger so far.

My story more funny. Last week I went to this shop and asking for screen protector 10' for my transformer. The guy said he want to see first and when I showed him, he said Asus don't produce tablet anymore. This is the old one so no more stock for screen protector. I was like rclxub.gif This guy really like katak bawah kotak shakehead.gif
Yesterday I'm going back to the shop and saw they also have asus transformer. Maybe he don't remember me and try to promote me to buy transformer. I feel like to smack him  bruce.gif

LOL... this oen gave me a good laugh... something i need since last i checked, today is still not friday...

hi guy,
i just got mine 3 days ago with the dock, where can i buy cover/pouch/casing to fit it? and the screen protector as well,
where can i find this all things now? location is kl area...
*
you can try evernew in mid valley. that's the place the pioneer 200 batch for their TF. it came with a 'leather' thingy that they said would also fit the dock. personally, when i get the dock, it would be carried like a notebook. and like all my notebooks, no casing. it goes into the backpack.

as for screen protector, to each his own. i won't be getting one. gorilla glass leh... smile.gif

but i think just a few post earlier, got mention of the SP by some owners...

i oso got the story with my TF biggrin.gif

Last week i went to Terminal 1 looking for bag which i can bring anywhere. The salesperson approached me to ask what im looking for..then i told him im looking for some sort of casing/bag that fit my TF. next i take out my TF from bag and he interested to look at it. from there we start talking about the HC tablets and he also have Acer Iconia. So we do some comparison and he impressed with my TF due to screen color. In the end, I got discount for the bag I purchased from him biggrin.gif  rclxms.gif

So, despite there are some issues with TF, people still have attention to it.Later wanna try go online outside see how people there react tongue.gif
ah yes, anyone tried dungeon defender? I dunno why the screen feels like cropped out on left & right..
*
wah, TF can get you discounts?!? POWER! flex.gif

dungeon defender... still trying to figure out how to fight with my hero. seems like can only build traps and wait and wait... got bored and also dizzy (i can't stand games that move around too move like Dungeon Defender. ya, i'm the Ultima 5 and FF7 kinda person. smile.gif

but dun notice it being cropped... i'll go back later tonight and test again...

Yes confirm fixed..I also found a way to fix the keyboard lag on forums..but this fix will take away your flash functionality...u can toggle it though...here it goes:

Type about:debug in the address window then press enter. You will not get any feedback. Then click the action bar icon on the top right of your browser then go to settings. You will notice a new section called debug. Go there and uncheck open gl rendering...problem solved but this will disable flash. Hope Google will come up with a fix for this soon :-)

not sure if its related but scrolling dun seem so smooth after i uncheck...

My colleagues ask me to bring TF to the office and show them. I showed them in oldtown during lunch time, of coz showing with they keyboard first and then proceed to undocking the screen, they are like "wow... like that one ar... amazing" and people from other tables also keep looking at us.

Ended up they are going to buy this TF too. I fee like I am the ambassador for this product, can I claim $$$$ from Asus? Hahaha...

just be lucky you have your dock... for me... still waiting. it seems tomorrow is the day when the transforming powers of my tablet will be unleashed! yea! icon_rolleyes.gif

Any racing games will work in our tablet? and where to download one?

so far, i'm only trying drag racing. its not really racing as in like daytona, etc...

but its still fun. and nice option is... can race online with other people.

avoid raging thunder. the screen not optimised for tablets. i see small image only... the rest of the screen on my TF shows black... sad.gif

all games and apps... all from market.

got bother leh... that's why i replied earlier (on this page)... i noticed when i disbale the Open GL rendering... it seems scrolling webpages not so smooth. maybe its just a 'psychological' thingy. i'd probably test further... but i feel like scrolling not so smooth.

but the keyboard lag thing... happens quite randomly. sometimes, no problems at all when replying in LYN forum.

pocket legends is actually quite nice. spent almost 2hrs playing it last nite. smile.gif

but from what i can see... dun think there's actually a lot of good graphic games that is designed for the 10" tablets. i guess can't blame devs since there are so many screen sizes for android.

guys, any of you experience the same issue? i tried to update my location today at office and it is showing that i am currently in China in fact i am still in Kuala Lumpur.
*
you work for china company?

location tracking can also be using wifi/ internet... in which case... if your office gateway is in china, it is possible. that's assuming satellite signals are blocked (meaning you are inside building), that would mean that your location is based on your internet connection.
