I am Looking at both the asus transformer and acer iconia tab i have no idea which to get i wont be doing anything modding wise as this is going to be a gift...
I'm looking for build quality and speed and most importantly responsiveness.
If this is in the wrong section you can move i have no idea where to put this...
Can anyone please help?
I in all honesty say that you should get the Asus transformer because it has official honeycomb 3.1 which has ultrafast responsiveness. The support for that device is much higher due to the keyboard dock.
Ps. I have an Asus Transformer and have xperimented with it. Brilliant device.

Just my opinion, but I find the Asus just seems to be built better in terms of quality.

I am wanting to buy a good touch pad I know this is an amadeus forum and lots of pads out there run android but my question is which one should I go for touts the best one it don't have to be android based either.
I have seen lots of android pads and there is a windows
7 pad out and also the one that can be put on a keyboard dock and used like a laptop or the blackberry play book which also looks good
What's your opinions thanks

I am also planning to buy an Android Tablet between October to X-mas.
There are 3 tablets on my wish list (I have not made up my mind yet):
1. ASUS Transformer (keyboard dock possible)
2. HTC Flyer (7", Sense)
3. Archos 80 G9 (7", 250GB HDD, reasonable price, coming in September)
Is android definitely the best os to have on a pass or is the blackberry play book or the windows pad better in any way?

BB Playbook? If you have a BB device then it worth considering but I will not buy a playbook since it needs a working BB device in conjunction, which I do not have and do not intend to buy.
Windows...meh!...Win 7 is not suitable for tablets in my opinion...
So do you think I should look at the android ones as I am already used to working with android with my htc desire?
Why is windows no good on tablet pc?

Right now, I see only 2 good alternatives for tablet: an Android tablet or an iPad.
Main reason not to go with Windows 7 tablets: all those icons, drop down menu, etc. those are not comfortable to be operated on tablets.
Windows 7 is heavy, and therefore needs more powerful hardware hence more expensive tablets or you have to live with slugish performance.
Hi Guys ... and Gals,
Am thinking of getting a TF for my wife ... 16GB without the dock.
The experience I have with Android is ... well, pleasant! I use the Nexus S.
Well, since I'm using the Nexus S, I would be interested to know if the TF comes with the original Honey Comb that can be updated directly from Google or if I would have to wait for updates from ASUS.
Yes I know all things are possible with a root, but:
a) I don't want to be messing with her tablet everytime.
b) I think the ASUS keyboard with the numbers on the top line is nice. Is it available as a separate download? Is it available for the mobile too?
I'm currently on holiday and would like to buy it so ... before I move back to is there any particular problems I should look out for?
Thanks for any help
Updates happen through Asus. Though they seem to be on time with them.
I think all tablet updates come from the manufacturer

Thanks both
So, the only way to get newer versions IF Asus start behaving like HTC or Samsung is to root it and put in a custom rom! Fine ... no probs. Atleast while the going is good, we don't have to worry.
Any known problems I have to look out for before a purchase?
Thanks again.

It's not the known problems you should be concerned about, but the unknown ones.
Get a newer model. Serial code should start with B60xxxxxxxxxxx. B40 is original. B50 middle.
I have a B50 and its nice. Other then that be on the look out for screen bleed. iPad2s have bleed just like everyone else. Some are extreme. Most are barely noticeable. Just keep an eye out.
Asus Transformer 3.1 pwnd

Asus made some subtle changes ( icons on the status bar) but asus was the first company to push out the 3.1 update ( after the xoom )
Thanks ... guess that will help
It's normal that the update come from the manufacturer.
Asus must have to include the specific drivers for it's tablet (not all the hardware is the same, even if the main platform is based on Tegra2)
It also made few modifications for apps integration and visuals.

The Xoom was only first in the US, everywhere else the Transformer got 3.1 before the Xoom. Actually the Xoom only has 3.1 in US, Australia,Japan and China.
it just has a few mods (buttons + some widgets and wallpapers)
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me purchase advice: Asus Transformer TF201 (used with 32gb microsd for $300) vs Lenovo S2110 (New for $365). I like having root, but I don't need a new rom. I only want to be able to take off what I want with Titanium Backup. I want to use it basically in place of a laptop, mainly for entertainment and taking notes. Possibly programming but that's basically word processing too.
Android version doesn't really matter to me... my phone is an A885 droid so it has Android 2.3.
If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Figured going to each individual forum is more biased than not.
*Edit* I've also located a T300 with Dock and SD card for $300. Does the T300 take the cake?
I would like to buy a ASUS Tf201 however I see there are no updates and miracast is not a option..
Are any of the custom Roms worth putting on this to have all features working + miracast etc
thank you
Wrong forum, this is for TF101
