no need to do that lar, just turn on ur tethering when u wanna get online, and on ur tablet side, just turn on bluetooth that time and connect to the iPhone, iirc when u are not connected, the bluetooth tethering will just stop itself, so it's just turning on ur bluetooth, that one battery life impact i would say not that big, u can leave it on whole day. if u tether 24/7 i would say bettery could be gone in mere hours, but will still be longer compared to wifi tethering. what i do was, i just leave tethering on, and connect to tablet, when i'm done, i disconnect from tablet side. when i wanna get online with it, i'll just reconnect again, few extra steps, but at least more battery life to my iPhone.. however sometimes i encounter some weird issue where my iPhone cannot be connected, i need to restart my iPhone for that, maybe it's just MyWi causing some issue. If battery life is a concern, bring along ur iPhone cable, u can charge it while u use TF.

Any of u guys on Prime 1.6 yet? You should if u haven't!!  Home screen navigation  stuttering  is gone. Its butter smooth now when flipping through home screen :-)

u mean in portrait and upside down mode? that was some tegra 2 issue, i read somewhere that tegra 2 cannot handle orientation rotation, so any orientation except for the default would be rendered in software mode.. maybe they finally found a solution to it

I'm quite surprise with the TF's playback capabilities.. It is way weaker than my n8.... Some videos cant be played by TF can easily played on my n8... I think they need to optimize the TF more.. I think the TF's hardware is way powerful than my n8...

did you try moboplayer or rockplayer? natively the stock player cannot play certain file formats but using a 3rd party software like moboplayer or rockplayer which uses software decoding can solve the issue. trust me, even ipad cant even play as many format as the transformer can..

Tested mobo, rock, and vplayer. Same prob. Then, when output a non.hd movie, the picture reproduction a little disappointing. Artifact very obvious and colour also run. Currently, n8 is a much better choice if want to output to HD tv.

Using my tf to reply this. Hehe. Love it still. laugh.gif laugh.gif

minor updates and performance fixed. you should at least notice your homescreen swiping is smoother now than previously. also if you have the keyboard dock and not using the default asus on screen keyboard, there is a dialog that usually pops up to warn you to switch to the default asus keyboard bla bla bla..there's now a checkbox to stop the annoying popup from showing..forever..those are the more obvious changes..nothing that much really

Hi all here.. Im getting a TF very soon, so i hv a few noob questions..

1 of my most concern, the productivity of TF.. since it comes with full docking keyboard, thus is there any full feature office document apps available? Means, can we do/create/edit documents in full feature similar as the MIcrosoft Office, or close to it?

Do TF owners here satisfied with Tf so far? Any personal opinion? Well at least its rare to see a 2nd hand Tf being sold in garage sale section, means all owner choose to keep them long enough. smile.gif

There is no USB port on the tablet itself, right? Only at the dock?

Battery life? Fair? Good? Or should be better? I mean, without dock.

Hope u all mind to share.. Thanks! smile.gif

Hi there. Yes there's polaris office which allows you to edit/create office documents but it cannot save to the newer docx,pptx format for instance..most 3rd party office applications cannot do this either. Also the formatting may be different, again this is similar to other 3rd party office apps - nothing you can do about it.

In terms of whether we are satisfied with the TF, I can say that pretty much most of us are satisfied, including myself. Its worth buying if you buy it with the dock. There's no USB port on the tablet - you are correct on this, only on the dock. IF you want just the tablet and want a usb port on it, you can look for Acer Iconia Tab A500 but mind you the screen for that tablet is a TFT while TF is an IPS panel like iPad 1 and iPad 2.

Battery life is pretty good, with the dock you can achieve about 16 hrs approximately. Without the dock I think about 7-8 hours probably? Depending on your usage of course.

no tablet can offer you full feature office document app at the moment, there will be some features that cannot work or alignment running out. that's the way it is. unless microsoft themselves offer to develop apps for the platform then no issues.
