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.

XDA support is very important to me, and looking over the upcoming tablets, the ASUS Transformer (with dock) looks to be the best form-factor for my needs. The question is; will anyone here dev for it??
HTC Vision; Rooted, Booted and Scooted.
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)
Hey Guys, I don't know if I posted this in the right place
I just want to ask you all,
Should I buy the Asus Transformer Ft101 or wait for the prime to drop its price !
I don't have any tablet but I have experience with android .
Is the only difference between those two the tegra 2 vs 3 processor ?
Is ICS coming soon to this tablet ?
Thank you all for the advice . And sorry admins if I put this thread in the wrong section ;-)
Ics is supposed to be out this month for tf101. Prime and its dock r both slimmer which means u lose one usb port. Some have reported wify issues with the prime. I have a tf101 and its great, no issues here.

Avoid the Prime, it has too many problems. (No GPS, Wifi and Bluetooth issues, only mono audio, etc.)
The TF101 is a much better deal, so long as you're willing to wait a while for ICS to come out.
So many "should I buy a TF101" threads. None of them in the Q&A forum either. hmmmm
I guess you should figure it out your self i mean
do you like playing games and stuff
or just browsing the web?
I would buy the TF101... Not really impressed by the Prime, and the Tegra3 SoC seem to be a benefit only to graphic demanding apps (or games ). I would be better to pack some more RAM on it... (IMO: I don't care to see true 1080p HD movies on a 10 inch screen... for that i have a 32 inch TV, and for videogames... not until they all have some sort of game pad support, like GTA3. So the Tegra2 SoC does the job i need more than fine).
For the price and the bugs the Prime is experiencing i would buy today a TF101 if i didn't add one already .
Hey guys, thanks for the advice, I just bought an FT101 with the dock . And as you can see I also bought my first App = XDA Premium :-D Love this app ;-) also I had installed the Revolution HD Rom . I want to use it as my main "Netbook" . Till this oment I had just 2 crashes with this ROM ;-) .......

hi,
Just one question and sorry, not sure it's the good place but...
i can't chose between the Asus TF300 or Acer iconia 700, the diference is the screen but is is it a realy good difference because one is IPS with lower resolution and the other, better resolution but not IPS so lower brightness color.
I love change rom and tweak my phone so same for the tablette
So wich one for you is better ? for same price.
Thanks for answer and sorry if wrong section.

I don't have the 700 so can't directly compare. http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/acer-iconia-tab-a700/4505-3126_7-35117923.html
Obviously that link is only one opinion but I didn't go further because it gives info I can readily understand and relate to.
Good Luck with your choice.
I saw a similar post here but it asked for only comments from owners of both units only. You might search for that one as it may have better info than I can provide. I saw it within the last two or three days.
Asus has a better dev community. That's why I chose to go with an Asus tablet. Prior to having the TF300, I had a Transformer Prime...so the choice between the A510, Toshibe Excite 10 and TF300 was easy. But You can't really compare the A700 to the TF300. Pricewise and value, TF300 is the wisest choice. But like you said, if you're worried about dev support then the TF300t would be a better fit for you.

I would direct you attention to the cmb roms for your tf700t, We help out with all we can !!!!!!!
I would direct your attention to the CROMi-X rom for this tablet. It's the most popular and best supported IMHO.
As to the question of how long you should wait to unlock: Two days should convince you that the TF700 sucks on the stock rom.
Whereas this tablet rocks on CROMi-X!
