One is a smartphone and one a tablet. Just from performance point of view, UI slickness, browsing : SGS II if I give 10 points, the Gtab will score a 5. It is like driving a 2000 cc Honda Accord car after getting off a 1000 cc perodua

I have updated to 3.01. the shutdown occured a lot less. so in order for me not to feel the problem... i set the sleep time after 10minutes... if i dont use it for more than 10minute... i just shut it down.. hopefully the 3.1 update will settle this problem. otherwise happy with this iconia

Different user has different needs for their tablets. I bought the iPad than for its portability as there were no other light notebooks around. I have used the ipad for 8 months but I replaced it with the new MacBook Air 11" as it was similar in size/weight and could do so much more than the ipad

The iPad is great as a consumer consumption gadget , not as a work creation gadget. I was looking for a tablet that can give me these 2 features and it was met in the Android Galaxy Tab 7" . I could do so much more efficient stuffs on it vs the iPad. It was really portable - I can just slip it inside my baggy long pants side pockets and even my 3/4 shorts side pockets

I bought the Iconia just to get a feel of Honeycomb. My tablet of choice is still the 7" for its portability

I have posted my comments about the ipad vs the Galaxy Tab at the official Galaxy Tab thread : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1845083 , read post # 2 Q 21
and you will understand why the ipad is not suitable for MY usage , not necessary yours

the ipad remains a great stand alone gaming gadget and its great app store ; other than that its other features - browsing, email, office , file management loses out to the Android tablets. Well iOS5 has much improvements - lets await for it on ipad2 and ipad 3 than

Ok After molesting the A500 in Seng Heng the unit follow me home!
Add me in
Next is the works, i read the 3G modem thing on the front page and is there any easier way to do the setup for the 3G modem? First i thought it was an apk as written on the link description then after reading it using adb it gave me headache.
i have a Huawei E1762 which can be use with A500,only problem its a Maxis open unit. Anybody try b4 this unit or i should flash the modem to normal rom in order to work?
Please advise
Thanks in advance.

Just run the 3g apk file will do. It will create mobile network in your settings/wireless network. Those ADB push methods were the earlier development, just ignore it
Those propritary telco modems might have issue you can try. Flashing the modem could do it

Xda developer release a auto 3g setup already?

I mean, if i install that 3g apk, would that mean i can use my celcom huawei brodband on the go?

BTW, Thx TS for the Offical Thread.

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Uncle Benny, is this mean that I can run my celcom bb USB with this tablet to access Internet? If can, waooo....my be my choice. Xoom 3G seem too expensive for me now...huhuuhuhuh

It's thanks to benny888 for the info's...

Use the celcom huawei alternative e173 model will work. The celcom supplied usb modem built in celcom software might have issue but if you flsdh this modem to stock rom it will definitely work. This celcom modem is in the approved modem list for iconia. So another way buy the original huawei e173 n plug in your celcom card

Uncle Benny, i check the google for celcom huawei e173 and it look the same with what i have now. But, i bit confuse because from the celcom broadband manager > Tools > Choose Device, showing E1550.

Is that mean i have to buy a new modem as you advise?

Your comment much appreciated.

Thank you for yr reply Benny888
Just the noob question,I read all the pages on the xda forum (18pages) but i might probably miss out ,i cant see any apk in there,only the 3g-usb-stock1-zip file and i got the zip downloaded but still no apk?
can u enlighten me on where the apk is?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry guys I gave you wrong info. You flasH the 3g usb zip file in recovery. It is not an apk file. After flash you will see mobile networks at settings/wireless networks

The list of huawei compatible modems. E1550 is one of them

Added on June 26, 2011, 9:14 pmPendekar if you want you can try flash your usb modem to stock rom. Disadvantage when you plug in PC is not auto anymore, just key in manually the celcom apn settings. Alternative buy another huawei generic modem not tied to any telco

For those who are willing to try. Unlock your huawei e1550 modem

But a few ppl do report that using usb modem consume lots of battery life. (drain i mean)

Definitely and the modem gets warm /slight hot very fast. It will drain average at least 10-20% your notebook battery every hour depending on how strong /weak the 3G signals. I use the YES HUddle - is even worse - it gets HOT, I mean really HOT just an hour using it - the YES huddle can last only 5 hours

TIPS from Cyberkewl lowyat forumer at his EEE Pad thread: QUOTE

So you've downloaded a bunch of nice HD wallpapers with just about the right resolution for your honeycomb tablet, but then when you try to set the wallpaper in the honeycomb gallery, you realised that the crop tool isn't doing such a great job at cropping your wallpaper especially for landscape view. So what do you do? I'll introduce you a very nice application that does the dirty work for you and have screenshots of the original wallpaper that i've downloaded with the one that i've loaded up after using the tool.

Sorry for so many question from the noobiest about android, but willing to learn before getting a tablet or maybe 2...heheheheh.

1) I try Professor Google and dont give me direct answer why and advantages for unlock usb 3g modem.

2) I will surely learn how to "flash your usb modem to stock rom" later.

If someone already have use 3g usb modem with iconia A500, appreciate if can give some views of experiences.

Until now, this is the choice for me to get android 10 inch with 3G access. Xoom 3G too expensive, SGT 8.9/10.1 with 3G dunno will reach our country.
