yesterday when i see the demo set at harvey norman, i really love Sony Tablet S on my first sight, and somemore it supports SD card, convenience for me to copy my images to tablet for quick editing, but if i must copy the files to the tablet before i use the files, and cant use as the storage, i think i got to think twice already.. sad.gif

i checked the price of OTG cable online, non genuine one RM10 from hong kong seller, or RM69 from local seller, sony sold it at RM89. pay RM89 for a cable, it seems very expensive, for tab, at least we are using the adapter, it seems we pay for more, haha..

Well, if need apps, it means it does not support natively already no? But still, at least there is a workaround that limitation, good info there by forumers here.
if it can use 3rd party apps to launch/play the files from sd card, i think it is better than cant, rite? if we cant, i really feel the "sd card reader" are useless.

Just an update; I've successfully rooted my STS last nite. smile.gif And managed to mount external SD card into internal storage. Now SD card can be accessed natively.

Time to get 32GB SD card for my STS. tongue.gif

This is STS default video player detecting all my movie files inside my SD card:

Using File Manager also can browse into SD card since I mounted a folder inside my SD card to internal storage Video folder.

So, i decided to use a laptop sleeve to protect the screen, rather than paying for an expensive piece of plastic.

is it our nail will scratch the screen easily? if using a laptop sleeve, maybe im just waiting for the 'cover' from harvey norman, hopefully the stock will in store as soon as possible. current im just using the plastic of the package to protect it, haha..

No la.. Alot of smudges got la, but scratches with nails, very difficult leh..

Just today, got 1 lady with super long fingernail used my tablet to transfer money, also no problem and scratches laugh.gif

i just worried it will have finger print and oily easily.

anyway, at least must have a cover to protect the screen, either screen protector or cover. biggrin.gif

if i don wan to root my sts, is it i still can directly read and play the files on my SD card, like Video, Music and Photos etc?

i have rooted my HTC Wildfire few months ago, but it seems like nothing different for me, if i still can save my media files on SD card.

And i will try it now, since i got 4GB SD card. smile.gif

Yes, you can still read and play using 3rd party apps such as DicePlayer, MoboPlayer app.

For reference, internal storage is under 'sdcard' directory, and SD card is under 'sdcard2' directory.

So, if you wanna browse to your SD card, just look for 'sdcard2' directory, and all your files will be there. You can open directly, no need to transfer to internal storage.
*
i just tried it, when i insert my SD card into sts, it will ask me whether want to transfer the files or not. i try to find the files from ES explorer, it is not there. i will dl the player later. is it can use to play real files too?

i just found that, actually my sts already sticked with very normal screen protector, maybe it is true, all sts come with screen protector?

After 1 hour of usage, the screen is already full of oil and fingerprints  sweat.gif

but i just found that my sts already stick with screen protector, or it is not the sp, just the layer of the screen?

yellow/warm colour is suitable for video same case when you set your TV colour setting to Movies... normally they will change to warm colour... for me it's not a big deal...


Added on February 27, 2012, 1:24 pmSince the design similar like a fliped book... I'm enjoying read manga n e-books through my STS happy.gif... thumbup.gif
*
ic.. i just wanna know is it normal for yellow tone. yestetday i tried to play captain American on sts, it has a bit lagging while playing, not sure is it the video problem or brcause of sts..

i quite enjoy to hold sts too, since i like to read books. trying to get better ebook reader n more ebooks. smile.gif


QUOTE(udangbusuk @ Feb 27 2012, 01:46 PM)

I used KomiK apps for my e-books in .zip, .rar & .cbr for pdf... not sure...
