if you check the description on skype for android, it says video calls only on selected phone models. so, the rest of us still have to wait...

Anyone tried to hook up a digital camera to the Iconia yet? I tried it last weekend, it doesn't seem to recognize a Fujifilm camera. Thumbdrive is detected just fine.

Will try again once I've updated to 3.1.

BTW, I got the cover I ordered from moresales.com.my, have a look see.

Nice... how's the material quality

anyone found any cheap stylus pen that suitable for Iconia A500? =D

I do not care enuf to use stylus but here some insight from benny888

im getting a different model from moresales, probably getting it tomorrow or the day after. this model got a few grooves on it to give extra viewing angles.

is there any different between custom rom H.C 3.1 with stock rom?? do the stock rom more smooth?

exkaizen, the material looks ok to me but I'm not a fussy guy. For sure it doesn't look super-duper leather expensive, but it doesn't look like a low quality product. All the holes are where they're supposed to be to allow access to the device's ports and buttons.

It has a nice magnet lock to keep the cover in place when closed.

Custom roms are cooked up according to the taste of the creator. Usually it is more bloated but that is not always the case. You have to read the description of the rom to know more about that. They have the same base so to say which one is smoother or if one is smoother than other you have to personally test it out or ask around the users. If you ask me then I would say that custom roms which are heavily customized may prove to be more buggy than the stock. But please do keep in mind sometimes its the exact opposite. It depends from rom to rom so the only way to know which one is smooth just try it out. Its not that hard to have custom rom running on your tab, it takes less than 30 minutes, and then if you don't like it just revert back to your stock.

+1 but then like me... I like stock... as hates on bugs.... but its your choices...

thnks dude.. .

No doubt our fingers are better.

But i need to draw things at my Iconia =D

(work issue. not entertainment)

sketching is quite important~ thus finger enough wouldn't do the trick at its best

I don't own flyer.... but i thought flyer much better for this kind of task.... ... so idea on iconia... can try ask benny888 how bad the stylus

at first i wanna buy Asus TF101, but after read Benny comment, i think i will buy Iconia A500, because of the USB and i wont carry the keyboard.

i would like to know any good deal out there? or anyone wanna sell his/her iconia with a attractive price to me?

thanks

new OTA update 4.010.30, update from Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1. Much smoother for me, since i never wipe apps or factory reset since day 1 with all updates install continuously.

FYI, the .22 was downloaded from XDA. Meaning manual update does not broke the OTA updates (yet) which most asked/afraid.

I believe this due to 4.010.22 is an official rom but for other region.... as long as its official rom you will still receive ota even though manually updates.

true.




Also using Thumb keyboard now, 3 layouts also. Used Hacker Keyboard b4, but its become lag. The arrow keys is the main reason to choose my keyboard, still too difficult to put the cursor exactly the place in a sentence/word.

another similar keyboard like thumb keyboard.... named tablet keyboard
