i got question..does the keyboard dock suitable with tab 10.1/8.9???

obviously NOT

unfortunately I've yet to find a decent-enough mkv/hd streaming player for the transformer/android. the linus guy in your link mentioned about a streaming app, but not too clear with the name.

that said, with MX Video Player I'm able to (partially) stream videos. what I normally do is i open my shared videos folder from my Win7 pc (using File Manager HD), navigate to the mp4/mkv and play using MX. streaming video files downloaded from youtube (from my pc) is perfect, but streaming other mkv/mp4 (even hdlite or fasm ones) is a bit of a hit or miss (more miss than hit). most of the time cannot be played at all. anybody else have any luck?

No one really able to difference 720p vs 1080p if they never compare with a 1080p video before.
Like a food which you never taste before , how do you compare AAA food is superior than BBB food ?
Problem only arise if you compare them.

Guessing the price would be around 1.7-2k for tablet and rm500 more for keyboard if getting separately .Sg will release next year.Maybe we'll be getting at Middle if Jan-Feb hopefully not march.

would they be releasing the 64GB model over here? With all the 10 cent 3D games and tegra games that I've been buying over the past few days, right now i gotta shuffle and remove-reinstall games just to get some extra space.

sucks that google thought honeycomb have no need for any additional storage in their OS

What u talking? I thought all transformers comes with sdcard slot?

but u cant install apps on the sdcard, unless you root it..

even with the 16gb model, it's more than enough for u to install the apps if u have an SD card to store other stuff like movies and songs

I am still waiting for this tablet to come to Malaysia..

Gonna pick it up as soon as its available

that is the funny part
most user prefer as big as possible then dumb everything inside ...
anyway, i do find 16 gb is good enough + it come with sd card slot ....

The reason why google exclude external SD card in nexus devices.

read it. I think it's a very good move. but they should offer bigger storage phone. 16G is just not enough

it's different. See Honeycomb (in transformer or xoom or most tablets) or Android 3.x doesn't support running/storing apps or app data to external storage - be it SD Card, MicroSD or USB drives.

if you look at the file structure, the folder /sdcard is in the internal memory itself. Quite different than say, virtually every phone which runs Android 2.x where /sdcard is the actual SD/MicroSD itself.


if you're like me, been downloading 3D/Tegra apps like crazy especially during these $0.10 app sale for the last 7 days, you'll see your space shrinking like crazy. Most 2D apps are OK, the highest amount of downloadable data being only 20MB or 50MB. But 3D apps, not so small.

Asphalt 6 HD: 500+ MB
GOF2: 500MB
Great Battles: Medieval: 500MB
Shadowgun (really pretty and awesome 3D shooter): 600MB
Captain America: 250MB
Riptide: 500MB
Trainz: 300MB
Pro Eleven Soccer: 150MB

...... and so on


most of these 3D games will download extra files to the /sdcard folder. so in Honeycomb/Transformer it will be the internal memory, while phones it will be in the microsd card folder.


my 3D games in total (around 20) takes up almost 8GB of space luckily my work files can be saved to my 32GB microsd and 32GB sd. if you read from llobak's link, you can have a better idea of what google is doing with honeycomb (and android 4.0 icw ):



you can read further in the link to see why with Honeycomb google decided that /sdcard should be internal, and not the real sd card (which is /Removable/SD or /Removable/MicroSD). I can understand google's decision, but it would leave power users like me unable to maximise the full use of my Android machine. If 16GB is a lot for you, then OK man, good on ya but for people like me, we really have to choose carefully of our Honeycomb/ICW device with big big internal storage, like the 64GB Transformer Prime

i get what u mean, i am also a power user. and i'm also downloading games like crazy lately. I've got tonnes of high end 3d games that uses a lot of storage space, but until now, my 16gb sd card isn't full yet, that's why if u get the 32gb version of the prime (i'm sure u'll AT LEAST get the 32gb), space won't be a problem. those users who are not as crazy like us, 16gb internal storage is more than enough.

A nice new AnandTech review where they address:

- the issue with wifi (which is supposedly fixed already with the units shipping out)
- direct playback of all hd contents (up to 40mbps 1080p .mkv's). He's showing a BluRay 1080p .mkv rip of Quantum Solace). Starts at about 13 minutes in...

Youtube AnandTech review

Very good review. gotta say if HC is the only bad thing, then ICS would make this tablet perfect!
