yup2...bt accessories n protection quite hard to find..zzz

Agree, i am happy with the battery life too, i once played the "Game Dev Story" straight 12 hours non-stop until the battery drained, with 35% brightness (which is normal brightness, never adjust over 35% because it will be too bright for me! which is good anyway), 90% volume. The game is 2D though.

(thank gods it is 12 hours, or else cant stop playing, the game is very addictive )

Next one would be the A500 silicon case (3 available now), car charger (1 USA seller, expensive postage), car holder (a fews, not needed yet) .

i played 3 avi movies (around 2hrs each) in one charge plus wifi internet and angry birds... lasted about 6 to 7 hours

if you guys searching for case/screen protector... you can get from lyn here... seller - lhongwuh

guyz...wat rom would u guy recommend based on peformance n battery???

btw, im using virtous xoom n whenever i charge it, the battery % won't increase until i unplug the charger...normal??lol

have not try custom rom yet, the official rom is quite good for me, never experience the battery % charge problem, maybe you need to reset battery in the CWM?

Anyway, here is the 4.010.40 Full official update from Acer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...33#post15861033
, was meant for upgrade from 1.139.04, but you can extract the zip after decrypt with Acer Decrypter and update with CWM, clear Dalvik cache. (always backup full rom before update)
I use it to update my 4.010.38 (US version) back to 4.010.40, app and settings stay after 2nd reboot.

Are there any shops around Klang Valley or KL where I can go and play/test the Iconia and TF to have a 1st hand experience before deciding ?

anybody have idea where i can get car holder for iconia?

Saw a number of generic tablet holders on lyn and lelong. Never seen a specific holder yet, I don't know if we'll ever see it unless the sale numbers pick up.

lol..yeah...for some reason nt many ppl heard of the iconia as much as the tf o I pad..lol

thus they have missed a great device...

yeah...awesome device...lol...blinded by I pad..hahaha

I use gps test to err test the gps function. Put it side by side with my moto defy then compared the time they took to get a signal lock. Unfortunately even with faster fix my iconia still took around 30 seconds while defy took just 9 seconds. I just did the test twice so I dunno how accurate it is. Test was done on 2nd floor of my terrace house near the windows. I haven't really test the gps outdoor though.

Anyway, the iconia is somehow an underrated device, probably because there's no advert about it and then maybe because its an acer? But so far I think it worth the money spent, we got full usb port, Dolby speaker which sound great even at full volume and out of the box support for microsd card. A bit heavy maybe but I use it with a stand most of the time. 2 thumbs up for the iconia

i juz bought it 2 days ago.....can add me in the owner list...hehe
i am very satisfied with acer iconia tab...well i bought it for my father as his father's day present (oh..it has been quite late i know ) he is playin his game non-stop...GLAD that acer tab can make my dad so HAPPY

As for the GPS, 30 seconds should consider good since mobile phone uses AGPS, which "assisted" by cell towers to locate your position while iconia is pure GPS, although also listed as AGPS, but without phone capability, i assume the "A"GPS is limited.

I used once on the road, with Sygic, the route is accurate. But most of the time i just use the mobile phone Sygic, since i to not have A500 car holder and car charger if the A500 running low battery.

gnitney: what a modern dad and good child your father have =D , i hope you upgraded to 3.1 latest patches for best performance.

when i opened it the acer tab requires me to update the system but after downloading i couldnt install because it stated the sumthing invalid and canceled..
Btw updating to 3.1 can be done by myself???or i have to sent it to sumwhere to get it done?

There's an Acer booth at the ground floor entrance of Digital Mall Section 14 PJ. They have a unit for testing.

At the sleeve that comes with it looks solid and nice!

Thanks mate. Appreciate that information.
