Question. Can Asus TP do live video stream just like e.g the recent Australian Tennis Open. I believe IPad2 can. Thx.....
*
if u use VPN then can use those streaming apps that has channels from other countries like the US. those apps will detect which country u r in without VPN and u won't have access to those channels

Cheers mate.  rclxms.gif

I'll be on the look out for accessories around KL. I won't be ordering online as I'll be flying off to Australia in less than ten days. But most likely I'll only get any accessories from Ebay when I get there. Pretty sure I can find loads of stuffs from Hong Kong.

So far my unit has no problems, wifi all good, no light bleeding (so far), havent tested BT, docking all good, keyboard response good, just charged the whole night so charging should be all  thumbup.gif as well.

Havent really tested my GPS though. I know there's the GPS issue going on but I still would like to test. Which app can I use to test GPS? The salesman at SenQ claimed that Google Maps uses wifi not GPS, which I found weird, so I thought I'll hear from you guys here.

Overall I think this is the best buy yet, for me. RM2xxx well spent, as a student whats more. Hah. My Blackberry doesn't count as a buy as it comes free with my Australian line.

so u bought from SenQ? I'm still waiting my unit to arrive after placing an order in SenQ Ipoh

I am wondering.. how come so many ppl sapu Prime... hmm.gif

so many ppl complain complain GPS xboleh pakai .. useless device.. .but .. so many ppl still buying.. whistling.gif whistling.gif


Added on February 10, 2012, 2:13 pmand... available stock for prime is kinda low as well.... hmm.gif

for me it's because there are NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES besides the prime because it has a fantastic battery packed keyboard dock that i can use to type in linux commands when i remote access my linux servers. and it's got a quad core. I NEED to replace my laptop, and i don't want a laptop because it's not very convenient for my travels, booting time is really annoying when i need to do things a.s.a.p. Not to mention the pathetic battery life. a tablet is much more appropriate.

Yeah, I reckon the unit I got must be the last unit in Klang Valley if not the whole Peninsula. I called SenQ HQ in the evening to enquire on their units and the guy told me so far only Klang has one unit left. I called the Klang branch and told them to hold it for me and I drove all the way there straight away. I live in Mt Kiara mind you, about 40 minutes drive to Klang.

i can imagine your death stare at cars blocking your way, teeth clinching hard with saliva dripping from your mouth as you swear and honk at the idiot driving 40kmph on the high speed lane, your eyes almost exploded from the high blood pressure when u HUNT for the SenQ outlet in Klang...LOL sweat.gif

I think 32GB should be enough. ATP has 2 expansion slot(1 MicroSD slot for the tablet, 1 SD slot for the dock). Theoretically, the max storage for 32GB model is 32 (internal) + 32 (microSD) + 64 (SD) = 128GB. That is alot of space.

However keep in mind that the microSD sticks out a bit and you may lose it if you are not careful. I got myself a 16GB microSD class 10 (got it cheap during the PC fair) and I tend to check the card is still inside the ATP frequently.
*
any good solutions to fix the micro sd sticking out issue?

Well, I read from xda that got people try to put a duct tape to cover, sand the microSD card( I would not recommend this as the plastic protection is very thin, you might damage the internal chip).

As for me, I don't bring this tablet out that much and I am using a netbook cover so I don't think  the card can be lost easily.

just my RM0.02  tongue.gif

ok thanks. I'm not going to use any cover or casing, going to use it naked, a casing will just spoil the looks

It's kinda funny when everyone agree to believe their retailers when ASUS Malaysia clearly said new batch will come this weekend.

if u have experience with Asus and their gadgets, u'll know that their "promises" were rarely kept

When I was there not only do I see young lads like us getting it but at the same time I bought mine another uncle just got his so...people from all ages are getting it!

it's like when my brother bought the G.Nex in Celcom when it first launched, an uncle who was still deciding to get either the GS2 or Note finally decided to get the G.Nex also after we tested it in front of him

wanted to write down some notes some times.. cant use my finger all the while... that why considering a stylus might help...

buy the Galaxy Y, i'm using it now as a basic phone + wifi hotspot for my (up and coming) T.Prime. it's quite small to do regular sms but u can use this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a...d.tabtalk&hl=en to use your Prime to send and receive sms via your phone. and the G. Y is a very battery efficient phone if u use it like me, only phone calls, some sms and wifi hotspot can last u at least 8 - 10 hours. if only use phone functions and no wifi hotspot, 1 week plus also don't have to charge battery.

Currently i'm thinking of upgrading my iPad 2 to Asus Transformer Prime.

Lately, i've experience many limitations on the iPad 2, no doubt it's an amazing tablet.

But i want to find something more user friendly, then i came across the asus transformer prime.

On paper and specification it's a brilliant piece of device. But i havent use the andriod platform

before any comment regarding the latest ice-cream sandwich compare to the IOS, and also

on the firmware version Apple has been very efficient and reliable on their updates, how does this

compare with Asus? Do they release their firmware updates frequently to solve all the bugs?
*
Asus is definitely very fast in pushing out updates according to the guys here, it's one of the more hardworking company in updates as far as i've heard because they don't have hundreds of models to worry about (e.g. samsung)
