QUOTE(Ask_Yip @ Aug 12 2011, 08:17 AM) Kudos to SenQ, this kind of customer service is what we are looking for! So you will jump ship to TF? or Galaxy 10.1"?  No idea mate... looks like I should be tab-less for the moment. Too many to choose from

Oh something i wanna ask. What's the benefit when the tablet has USB ports?
Can plug in digi/celcom/maxis usb modem and connect to the internet?
And what else?
What about iconia screen display wise? Not as clear as other 16M colours tablet right?

Can use modem if you root it with some modification on the ROM. Display wise if you compare, yes, it is a bit dull, but still acceptable to me, depend on individual.

The diaplay, I'd say is decent and nice. Most important you don't hear about bleeding issues as commonly reported in TF and ipad2. Every product has its pros n cons - the pros in the Iconia is its price and features offered : 32GB, ext micro SD slot, full USB all just for RM 1.4-1.5K It'd be nice if we can have a 10/10 tablet but than be prepared to pay a 11/10 price for it

I found the best player that able to play MKV... DICEPLAYER
pros of DICEPLAYER: - able to play smooth 720P mkv movie without remux (haven't test with 1080p) - able to show embedded subs in mkv (haven't test external subs) - able to play AC3 sound codec when play - use hardware acceleration
Added on August 14, 2011, 6:10 amHow dice player can read other storage/microsd card from the player without using file manager?
go to setting > list setting > media folder -> set as /mnt

wondering does it able to read the sd/cf/ms card if i connect a all-in-1 card reader through the usb port?
planning to get an android tablet soon, looking at acer and samsung tab 10.1 (waiting 4 the launch, better colour display, batt last longer, thinner & lighter). i'm guessing samsung tab 10.1 3g around rm1899 but is has none of the connectivity port. The usb and sd card adapter cost rm109 and so the total would be rm2009 while compare to acer rm1549 without 3g. what is your opinion, which 1 will you get ??

Your needs is met by the iconia - is a good worthwhile buy The tab 10.1 is slicker n faster ui, nicer display, its thin and lightweight but poor connection options
