Could it be due to the Iconia is much more stable and less user reporting issues?

Any recommended player for 1080p videos?

still not fully 1080p mkv support yet still no sound got a 3.1 update today hope that fix it

Actually no major issues unlike the Transformer - you pop over there and read ; they have so much problems especially with the dock. Most of the major issues I do not find it in the Iconia

the no sound issue if the audio codec in ac3... try convert/remux to aac....

lol...i knw!!! actually really loving my iconia...sry2...coz am also active in DHD thread....n they chat allooottt!!!!n their users r the most friendliest n helpful u'll ever find!!hahaha

Hmmm.... I cant decide... but...
Opinions

what's yur expectation for ur tabs?

if screen - choose Transformers
if full size USB port - ICONIA (as its on tablet; transformers have the port but on the dock)**ICONIA can plug in 2.5" external HDD & USB thumbdrive**
if internal storage size - ICONIA (32GB)
if need docking - Transformers (but heard they have problem)

but benny888 mention Transformers have more major problem (especially on the dock) then ICONIA.

So suggest u go through transformers thread and get to knoe what is the major problem they are facing (whether it affect your expectation specs)... as far as ICONIA, they don't have major problem hence the thread quite dull... T.T fyi, previously ICONIA have update issue which is sometime not able to updates but there's solution for it... as for custom roms for ICONIA, there are 6/7 custom roms you can choose besides the stock rom

Thanks TS... tablet wars are so great that me getting so confuse liow nowadays

It getting confusing to choose from when galaxy tab 10.1 join the market... but everything is back to basic... what do you want in your tabs... and from there search for the closest tablets in the market that similar to your needed specs....

Tested HTC Flyer, XOOM 3G, & Iconia A500 just now.

Flyer lagging the most, followed by XOOM. Surprisingly, Zoom's browser hanged(had to force close), but Iconia... much much smoother a lot than Xoom!!!

Both Iconia and Xoom running on 3.0 only. Acer's doing great!

One more thing... if there is no display, I could see dots on the screen on Iconia, but not on Xoom. Different capacitive tech?

thats y... not many ppl update that they have issue for iconia.... the downside of iconia is the screen only... but still decent

Lol...yah...the iconia is actually really decent tablet....n battery is really great...light usage since four days ago n still left around 30++ percent battery!!!!

Btw...which rom u guys rec for performance n bat..currently on virtous xoom

For me, the screen looks just like xoom,... fine pixels and clear. Looks like TF101 thread fills with issues and bugs on wifi and video lags.

Oh yeah, I tested the car racing game... smooth like ipad's.

BTW, no one mention that the back of the ACER A500 is brushed aluminum? i like the cold and metal feels holding it, plus not fingerprints magnet
Also, due to this aluminum, some reviews said the build quality is much better.
