New ics default browser on eeepad is wicked. Thank god they added the desktop mode. Dolphin browser was starting to piss me off. And its no longer slow as fck when miscing. I also love that we can remove certain recent app windows, by swiping it to the left

anything else from the update thats different about ICS?

i'm looooving it so far, i feel like ihave a whole new tablet, seems sooo much smoother

I've used the iPad2 and Transformer Prime for extended periods of time (in excess of three months each), and I can honestly say my HP Touchpad overclocked and tweaked using Preware patches (which took about 10 minutes to do both) is still my favorite tablet.

WebOS is unreal, even without any apps for it.

I regret selling it everyday!

[jj00ee]

yo touchpad brahs is it worth putting ICS on or no? any new hax0rz for webOS? i haven't done anything since the initial tweaks the day i got it.

Seems like ICS is super stable on the Touchpad, even for an alpha release.

Sure, the camera doesn't work, and some things are missing, but you really don't even need to worry about it.

So smooth!

Besides, who the phuck needs a rear-facing camera on a tablet?

Besides, who the phuck needs a rear-facing camera on a tablet?

lol agreed. Camera is pretty useless on a tablet. At least I haven't found any use of it. I always just end up using my phone camera anyways.

Paper Camera app is kinda cool though. But the novelty of sketched-like pictures wore off fast.

Just got a xoom, which is a considerable upgrade from the kindle fire I was using.

Was going to wait for the ipad 3 but owning a ipod touch im not keen on paying at least 500 for a large ipod touch. Further apple products are restrictive and im not paying that price to be stuck in the apple ecosystem or having to play the cat n mouse game with 3rd party developers and apple.

Galaxy 2 doesn't look to offer much (other than ICS) and Samsung thinks their products are apple-equiv in quality which couldn't be further from the truth. Never had a very reliable Samsung experience with their phones so not paying top dollar for a Samsung tablet.

Didn't get the transformer prime because of unfairable reviews with poor wifi and GPS reception and some reported hardware defects otherwise I would have got it for that quad core processor.

[YoMaMa84]

Bought a transformer last week.....realized it's kinda worthless. Gonna return it tomorrow. ICS and Chrome is really nice though.

I had the Transformer Prime for about two months and sold it on eBay for the same price I paid for it.

I was incredibly disappointed with it.

With awful download speeds and unresponsive web-browsing (stuttered a lot, force closes,), I felt like I got ripped off big time for a device that cost me $500.

If you're spending $500 for a premium device, I shouldn't have those problems, or have to wait around for firmware updates.

Never again.

[freeburn]

Surprised at such negative feedback from the prime. My tf101 has been pretty awesome since i got it in July. Now with ics its even better. more smooth transitions and no more forum type lag.

Im happy as can be. I do alot of stream watching and comic reading. My entire family got tf101s for Xmas. Even my tech retarded dad loves his.

[stereotada]

Yes, there are some problems with the prime, but the major problems are only happening to a small group of people. Those with negative experiences tend to voice out more often than those with positive experiences, thats why you hear so about the "problems" so much.
I have had the prime since december, got it the day it was released and am one of the lucky ones to have never had a single issue with it. no wifi problem, no random shut downs, nothing. Unfortunately, the gps is still on and off but i have never intended to use it in the first place.

As you can see, most people are perfectly happy with their tablet.


though im thinking of selling it once the padfone comes out. depends on which carrier it goes to though.

[Just Live]

pls explain padphone..... are you going to hold a giant tablet to your ear?

do you have to have the tablet with you to recieve calls? if not, wouldnt that make it just a package deal of cellphone plus a tablet...

i dont get it

It's definitely a cool tablet, but web-browsing was choppy when flash was loading (all the time), the browser always tells you to wait because it's not responding, it's impossible to write or blog on it in a multi-window environment (more of an Android problem).

I just found using a laptop much less of a headache, so I sold the thing.

[crsarellano]

oo i havent seen this thread. Will read through it right now, i got one of dem touchpads though for 100. ported cyanogenmod9 onto it (sucks, but itll get better). Currently playin FF9 on it. come at me bro

cheaper version of the Asus 7" tablet?? wood by

sources say it IS the asus 7inch tablet. so around 200-250.

and it probably wont be called the google play. When the name leaked, everyone thought it was for the upcoming tablet but it was just the new name for the market.

[HISI808]

Can any tablets out now play 4GB+ .mkv files straight off of a SD card?

My whole movie collection is .mkv format and I do not want to convert it.

I tried with my Kindle Fire (X-mas gift) but it does not play smoothly at all.
