The virtual keyboard is indeed problematic if you type on browser in the eeepad. I tested on my friend unit when he keep complaining difficult to use to post n reply on forums.
He tested it on my iconia and he was thoroughly amazed no such lag or cursor issues. On the iconia just like typing on computer. Asus need to solve this keyboard bug n is indeed frustrating using it

I experienced same keyboard lag cursor issues on the latest overcome ROM 2.0 on the galaxy tab.
Moved back to older version of the ROM was way much better .
Anyway I have tested Steve Lin gingerbread keyboard it is better I feel on the eeepad versus default

The usb in iconia can connect so far to my WD 500gb fat32 drive. For ntfs drive you need install 3rd party apk app from xda. Harddrive must be in single partition

There is no support yet for USB stick modems ; but I do believe once this is available newer tablets will offer a USB port as a standard

Yes , I think you are right. The Market problems seems to have solved. Today I check - I can see ALL the apps I have bought, and updated some of them . Previously some couldn't be seen at all. I am using Acer Iconia
Also several apps which I have to use market.android.com to send to the iconia can now be downloaded and installed
Guys has been saying cannot download angry birds - I can now download 3 versions of them now ; just testing - I don't play

Wanna try ipad - forget about the present models. Wait till iOS5 is available on it or iPad3 - speaking from my 8 months experience using the iPad.
With iOS5 coming up, the android's Honeycomb I must say is indeed way behind in features. Google need to work harder on HC else I forsee its market share will definitely lose out considerably to iOS5 ipads. With present iOS4 ipads there is still some competition
Many users got suck into iPad mainly because of apps availability and the extremely smooth and slick user interface which is unbeatable yet. Just the UI alone will convince most new users to buy it without considering its weakness

Google market should be OK as reported by many users
Clear your data/cache at settings/applications/manage applications
Reset tablet
Launch market at top right menu, content filter select all
So far whatever apps you guys reported cannot be download can be done since yesterday. I test just for fun only

Even the great iPad2 has bleeding problems and is in all units

Official keyboard price is rm429

Shark - Just connect using usb cable to PC to transfer files if transfer through FTP too troublesome.

YES huddle is rm399 and minimum data subscription is rm30/month. For areas with yes coverage the speed is 4 to 5 times faster than 3g. Check yes.com.my for more info

Please refer the yes website if you want to know more on what and how
Yes offer a rm99 usb plugin too. YES does not use sim card
Again whether worth or not depends on coverage in the places you go too. You can check it at YES website

Y ES does not used simcard all. Please refer yes.com.my for more info to know what, how, where as is self explanatory at their website

That is why I didn't get transformer as I no need the dock. I felt buying it without dock seems like buying a handicapped tablet. Of couse it is not handicapped just a phschological feeling. At the end I bought the iconia as it comes buiktin full usb and 32gb for similar price as eeepad tablet. You can consider the iconia a understated , poor publicized tablet but performs great and that's what matter most. You don't have to be well known to be great.

Battery life in iconia I am happy. I can browse on it continously up to 4 hours and still have about 60% left. Can match my previous iPad and is better than my HTC flyer and galaxy tab. Battery size is smaller than eeepad and galaxy tab and flyer. So is very good

You should try yourself the various tablets ; by now I am sure most KL big outlets will have demo units. By than you should be able to make a good decision basing on your needs. One thing for sure, buying the EEEpad you can get lots of support and help here - better than Asus facebook or its support pages.

I make my decision after trying the xoom, eeepad and iconia at Challenger Store ( Spore ). I like testing stuffs at Challenger as they laid out all the tablets , totaling about 10 different types ( Viewsonic, Archos, China made, Motorola, Asus, Acer, Ipad, ipad2 etc ) out on a big table. You can spend time testing on all of it ; no one will come and disturb you unlike some KL stores, just only a few minutes touching it, you will see the salesman overlooking your shoulder and trying to convince you to buy. I don't know what is the scenario at KL new Challenger store - hopefully is the same
Similarly you can test all the latest notebooks, smartphones etc - a indeed conducive environment to test gadgets.

That is very true. I see exactly same scenario in all the official threads. TS put in efforts to organize information but users seldom refer

Now i understand you guys frustration with the asus keyboard. It is indeed terribly laggy and poor response especially posting on lowyat forum. I must say is a big difference vs the iconia which is smooth responsive similar to normal typing
I am now running asus honeycomb 3.1 on my iconia. Anyway i solve the lag issue by replacing it with stevelin gingerbread keyboard, at least is now close to the original iconia keyboard

That is strange. I could have add reply.
The xda chap who ported the transformer honeycomb 3.1 over to the iconia has done a greatjob. Haven't notice any bugs yet. He has also enabled 3g usb modem support for a range of Huawei usb modems

Means there is no obvious lag ; it's performance is very close to the original iconia default keyboard which doesn't lag - it is just like typing on hard keyboard, fast and responsive
The problems with the ASUS keyboard is mainly on lowyat forum website when replying or typing new posts ; replying is the worst
