frankly speaking,  if there are both 3g and non 3g model to choose now, I will still buy the non 3g model cuz I don't see the need to have always on broadband for the tab. tab is different from phone, u don't have it by your side 24/7 like your phone.

for me,  I only need internet for the tab when I'm actually using it which most of the time I'm either in wifi zone or I'll be tethering from my phone.

but that's me la, I find this combination is better haha and my friend with a 3g Ipad 2 agrees with me and now regretting lol, he say should have gotten the none 3g ipad instead
*
agree. i got a SGT with 3G, 7' is a more appropriate size to bring around.
Tf101 is for quick surfing on bed or living room with wifi.

QUOTE(Atsutane-Shirane @ Jul 9 2011, 12:18 AM)
Well... 7" + 3G is a must... i cant imagine people walking around while looking @ 10" tablet... It's not even practical...

Why i say while walking around... because that the reason for data on the go... XD
*
yeah. recently i tried bringing out a 10" when i always been carrying my SGT 7".
i must say. 10" tablets are meant to be at home or in back packs..
saw a lot of people carry their ipads around in cases. Its really troublesome to me.

the other day was at starbucks. 7 person. 6 ipads. 1 Transformer. hehe..what a scenario.

Anyone experience the TF rebooting or turn on by itself during recharging? This happened to me each time I charge my unit!

interesting find on the Asus TF power adapter issue

1) vibration on such a big device ? whats the point, do you carry yours in your pocket ? huge pockets then...  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

2) aluminium / metal back covers - one issue i noticed on such devices, it heats up and not comfortable to the touch - take some nokia phones for e.g. - the battery produces heat / the phone produces heat / the metal cover conducts heat from your fingers/palm.

3) you will most probably use a sleeve / leather cover for your galaxy tab - even on the Asus - no point having those patterns on the back cover.

3) i agree Asus did not optimize the camera drivers on the TF. i am sure the camera module itself is good but i think they are just using generic drivers for it. they should take some lessons from Nokia.  doh.gif

4) i agree galaxy tab 10.1's edges are smooth and nice.... Asus edges a bit squarish to match the keyboard dock.... thats why without the dock it looks a bit out of place...
*
1. for keyboard tactile feedback. does make a difference.
2. no comment. i dont have one to prove anything.
3. i use it as it is. no cover whatsoever. just a layer of screen protector at the back. feels good.
4. bring ur tf101 and go touch a tab10.1 then u know what i meant.

holding the sharp edges of tf101 hurts my hand too even without the heat.
well it was meant to dock with the keyboard. thats the special part.
but then..just found out 15 people sold their tf101 in garage sales..most probably they are going for tab10.1
i know i m going to...hahahaha.

QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Sep 13 2011, 12:00 AM)
jananan : I've given up on trying to play all files (video) on TF101. So far MX Mobo and DicePlayer played well. MKV file @ 720p no success yet.

I've tried Dice Player success playing 1080p smooth on AVI file. Not friendly on MP4 sad.gif
*
gave up too. tried using vplayer to play 720p mp4. got graphic no sound. sick..
in the end use back g tab to watch.

maybe those people selling off their TF going to buy TF slider or TF 3G or the Tegra3 based TF2 coming soon.

not necesarily going to buy Tab 10.1  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

i am not saying the Tab is not good, its the same SoC as Asus TF in a sexier package.

I agree, compared to the current Galaxy Tab 10.1, everything else Asus TF, Toshiba Thrive, Motorola Xoom, Acer Iconia all look fat and bulky.
*
was just joking about the sell tf get tab part..take it easy..hehe.

basically its similar specs in different package.
check out the review. tab10.1 win by the looks most probably.

http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-compu...er-tf101-972024

its always bout the cosmetics looks. haha.
Tab10.1 is surely the one that can compete with ipad2 now..if now why Apple kept suing poor samsung..ban them here n there..haha.

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Sep 13 2011, 06:10 PM)
it's just all about personal preference, the Galaxy Tab also has better build quality compared to TF if u must say, but different ppl different requirement, for me i think keyboard is a cool thing to have since i be browsing a lot with it and there will be a lot of typing to do sometimes. and the 2 USB slot and extra battery is welcomed. Galaxy Tab is for ppl who wants a sexier tablet with a smoother UI.. wait till Windows 8 come out, i might just overclock it to 1.6Ghz and replace it with my laptop when i go out already

also, vibration is also welcomed since it's mentioned, it's not for vibrating to wake u up or tell u u have a phone call(as if it can make phone calls, lol), more like applications can use the vibration as another method of feedback
*
vibration on keyboard is a must have too.

QUOTE(jananan @ Sep 13 2011, 06:40 PM)
just saw someone using Galaxy Tab 10.1 in my office

the borders around the screen, the a.k.a the bezel looks narrower compared to Asus TF.

makes it look smaller.
*
did u touch it? feels great isnt it?

QUOTE(irenic @ Sep 13 2011, 08:18 PM)
i have both transformers and galaxy tab 10.1.. while the transformers is now being used by my dad, and i'm using the tab10.1, i have to admit it's not an upgrade if you are changing from transformers to tab10.1 ..
*
upgrade in terms of LOOKS. hehe .

why would ICS cuz any problem to the keyboard? Anyway, i don't think it will be so soon that ICS will land on Transformer, probably a good few months wait
yes, keyboard use the same charger and cable as the tablet itself.
*
alright. thanks.

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Oct 20 2011, 02:14 PM)
yes... from what i understand, when you buy the keyboard dock, it does not come with charger -- i found that silly. when i first got my set, i was hoping to get 2 sets of chargers (1 as spare). charger only comes with the tablet.

asus big boss say by year end wor... smile.gif

and the cable is so short isnt it?
they purposely want u to buy extra..haha

do let me know if i'm wrong about the spare part availability in MY. but i guess can use 'compatible' products la...

still choosing between logitech bluetooth keyboard or the keyboard dock since both same price.

i dont think any third party keyboard can give a proper challenge compared to the original keyboard dock.

spec sheet advantage:
1) 2 usb ports
2) card reader
3) touch pad
4) dedicated HC buttons
5) It charges your tab instead of draining it compared to BT keyboards tongue.gif
*
just ur reply enough to conclude my decision.
yeah...keyboard dock..hehe
thanks....

btw, how often do u use the dock?
i been using my tf for months. never thought of using a keyboard dock before..
now considering bcos some seller clearing ..hehe
