icic..cool, no wonder it looks very different, not the usual Toyota/Honda or even local makes, the design is very different

From what i can tell it is pretty much landscape only on full screen, to watch it in portrait mode, you cant go full screen. An alternative is to download the video then watch it with a 3rd party player like moboplayer which should support portrait mode (if i recalled correctly).

Oh, sorry i misunderstood there..if what you mean is that some players dont rotate the screen when you're watching a full screen video, then yes, some apps appear to lock you in that rotation mode. apps like moboplayer for instance, say you are in landscape mode and are viewing a video, then you flip the tablet 180 degrees, it will be shown upside down and not the right side up. This is due to application design for some reason. If you take the Gallery app for instance, and you view a video there, you can rotate it just fine in any direction and the video will appear in the right side up...so to conclude, its just the way the app is designed, nothing much you can do about it.

i'm mistaken, for moboplayer you can set the option actually - you have to enable the "screen rotation" option in the mobo player's preferences page then it will behave like the gallery app..for others, its just a limitation, even games cannot be played on the upside down 180 degree flip side.

yes here's a simple list of stuff to check:

1) Light bleed, most visible in highest brightness setting, middle bottom area where the charging port is for the tablet. Most people have light bleed in this area and i'm getting used to it. If other areas of the tablet has light bleed, request for another one and refuse to take it. If its just at the middle bottom area, then i guess its up to you whether to take, but most likely almost every other unit have this light bleed issue.
2) If you're buying the dock, test it out, make sure you can dock the transformer and the dock together. The latch should move from left all the way to the right, cannot be inbetween whatsoever. Some pressure is needed to push/press the tablet towards the dock, this is normal. If after you put pressure and the latch still doesnt go all the way to the right side, request a new dock, refuse to take the unit they offer.
3) Test out the keyboard dock keys, press all of them in polaris office, make sure all the keys register properly. Also test out the touchpad make sure it is ok when moving the mouse cursor on the screen and also the left and right clicks register. Left click is to launch an app or perform an operation such as button clicks like in windows and right click functions as a back button / back key in Android (not like in windows where the context menu usually appears).
4) Bring along these items if you have to test the connectivity options -> USB external mouse (for dock), USB pendrive, SD Card, MicroSD card. Use them to test out the various ports on the tablet and the dock. Tablet only have microsd and mini hdmi port, so you can bring a microsd card to test if you're buying the dock only. Mini HDMI you can only test at home unless you can test it somewhere that has a tv and you also need a mini hdmi -> hdmi output cable.
5) Test the speakers, try to see if you can listen carefully whether the left and right side speakers are balanced and not louder for one of them compared to the other (i.e: left louder than right or vice versa). Several forummers here have this issue (but I don't). So test that out. Also bring an earphone if you have, to test out the earphone jack too.

That's pretty much all I can remember on the top off my head. Regarding the warranty as i know asus malaysia is giving international warranty. Good luck

nope not included. you only get the tablet, charger and keyboard dock for the fullset + dock.

dont worry, they're not likely to go bankrupt or anything, just poor customer service..especially the one in midvalley, in other places not so sure if they're ok or not. most of us bought it at midvalley during the initial launch and got poor treatment from their staff.

nolar if until bogus products sure kena sure liao lor...with the rudeness of their staff it also means if you want to get exchanges wont be that easy as other shops

its due to the browser, there's a known lag issue on stock browser. you can try other browsers such as opera mobile or firefox mobile, the lag is not there..hopefully this will be fixed in the upcoming 3.2 update.

if not mistaken to get rid of data that's the only way, the other way is to use the hardware power and volume up button but that only does a hard reset and doesnt remove any settings as far as i know.

isnt this the one for smartphones? if so you're posting in the wrong place dude

1) Yes. Most major retail IT stores should have them restocked i think..(it was out of stock previously)

2) If you dont mind waiting then better wait.

3) The quad core will translate to faster and smoother UI and multitasking overall while apps will definitely needed to be rewritten to take advantage of the quad core CPU i believe, much like normal PCs. Dont think that it would behave differently from PCs (where softwares need to be properly programmed to take full advantage of the quad core CPU).

done

for me i dont know why, my dolphin hd seems as laggy as the stock browser. my understanding is that dolphin is using the stock browser engine, so it should be as laggy, not sure why you get the lag sometimes..i get it all the time...for opera, i totally do not have a single lag, but i dont like to use opera because the shortcuts are nowhere as good as the stock ones. for once, the stock browser is just so much more superior to me in terms of shortcut keys and the ease of use. even dolphin browser hd cant beat this one IMHO. its different on my nexus one tho, dolphin browser hd is my main browser

care to elaborate what happened?

that's bad..but yeah, this is to be expected..when they want money they're very friendly, after that give u bad treatment..

its awesome. what do you want to hear? Just google and youtube around if you want to know more..or experience it yourself

it should not be rooted when you purchase the TF or any android device for that matter unless you bought it second hand and the previous owner rooted it already. With rooted you have full access to the android filesystem meaning you can tweak, modify, change, delete, edit the files in the internal filesystem all you want. much like the difference between having administrator and a normal user in windows environment. of course, when you root, you void your warranty and if you dont know what you're doing, you could "brick" your android device..meaning turning it into a useless brick..google on this for more info.

not sure about that but i dont really like opera. i only use it to download APK files from filesharing sites where the stock browser cant seem to handle it properly at the moment

yep that's correct
