[Q] What about 3.1?

Hi everyone,
I have my eeepad transformer preordered to buy the 32 or 16 GB model, still don't know which one will be the first one...
But, I know that the galaxy tab 10.1 will be upgradeable to android 3.1, and the same happens with the xoom, but, will our future (or current) eeepad transformer see this android version? I'm only saying it because if android 3.1 won't appear on the eeepad, I think the best thing we could do is to buy the galaxy tab
Thanks in advance

Really? who said 3.1 will not be on the Asus???? It will come but we dont have a eta......but yeah if you really need 3.1 then you should get Xoom on Verizon it was launch the other day. Or you could get the tab 10.1 without the sd slot and hdmi port

Yes the GTab is upgradable but when will samsung do it?
Samsung are notoriously slow at upgrading anything!!! plus the GTab has touchwiz which will take more to time for the developers at samsung to get it ready.
If you really want to be negative, maybe google will have an unexpected downturn within the current economic climate and go broke, then all of us will have obsolete devices and we're be forced to buy ipads or windows tablets

I seem to remember reading on another thread that Asus support said that 3.1 would be available on June.

Check this video of the Xoom running HC 3.1
It looks really fast and much more functional.

Asus Germany confirmed on Facebook that the 3.1 Update will be available by mid june! So dont worry guys

What's the chance of getting that ported? Nill right cuz google still hasn't released source.....?

I think it's possible, but is there any reason? The official update will come in mid June, less than a month left. And it's possible someone will leak it before.

Got a link to that page please? There doesn't seem to be an official Asus Germany or Asus Deutsche anywhere on facebook.
Edit: nevermind just found it... Deutschland...the one word I didnt try. They certainly do reply a lot more often on there it seems.

Mid June for 3.1 is good news. Thanks for the update

juhuuu good news, also in mid June there should be transformer available in Slovakia. So 1 month of waiting to a judgement day for me

Can somone post the new 3.1 browser apk

that great news. Saw a video of 3.1 on xoom, and guy state that his xoom feels much faster then before (UI)

seriously?

Nice picture. Wonder what that warning triangle is.

The triangle is for when there is an update file detected on the tablet.
Good to see they already have a version they are happy to distribute to regional sales and support teams - means it is stable enough to have internal testing.

Nice!

[Q] Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo?

Hi there,
Did a quick search like I am supposed to but didnt find the answer I was looking for. A quick search on our favourite online auction site and there are several listings from Honk Kong for a wireless keyboard/mouse (built in tracker ball) and it says that it is compatible with Xoom Wifi that I have. I doesnt say whether its bluetooth or wifi based as Im sure only the bluetooth would be of any use to me. It only states that the frequency is 2.4G but Im sure that some/all bluetooth devices use this frequency. Anyway, I have asked the seller to confirm how it connects and am awaiting a response. Was just wondering if anyone on here has tried one and if it works or not? Thanks in advance.

I would be very skeptical of electronics coming from Hong Kong. In case you were not aware of this, Motorola does actually make a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the xoom. If you do a quick search on eBay for "xoom mouse", you will see several auctions with the combo for less than $60. Just my opinion, but I would rather spend a little more money on something that was not only tested with, but design for my device by the same manufacturer, especially when a little more money is only $60. I also looked at Moto's website and the keyboard is listed at only $40, didn't see the mouse. Here is a link to the keyboard:

You can get the keyboard for cheap at Best Buy. I belive it will cost $20.
I use an Apple Mighty Keyboard.
If you have a Android phone there are mouse apps in the Market in which you could use your phone as a mouse.

Hi there,
Cheers for the input and advice. I had a look on ebay for the official Moto keyboard and mouse set and couldt find any for the $60 price you mentioned. I am UK based aswell so would require the UK model aand not the US key layout. The cheapest I could find from a UK seller was around £85 which seemed a little steep. I would ofcourse prefer the official products for my Xoom and unfortunately Best Buy are shutting up shop in the UK and they dont have any in stock.
Thats why I was just checking to see if anyone had tried the product I mentioned. Ill keep looking and see if I can find the official UK set at a better price. Thanks again.
Melchius

Found one
Hi all,
Just want to say thanks agaon for your input and to wish you all a happy new year. I managed to find a UK official mouse and keyboard set for £64 delivered and decided it would make a nice late christmas pressie to myself. Cant wait for it to arrive as my new Samsung 42" LED smart tv is arriving tomorrow. Good times ahead.
Melchius

Happy as Larry.
Hi all,
Got my keyboard and mouse today and my new TV turned up aswell, a very good day all in all. Am also very pleased that the keyboard and mouse work on my laptop perfectly to boot.

[Q] Help from all of you ! opinion needed !

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 ;-) .......

[Q] replace asus tf300tg motherboard with tf300t motherboard?

i know i will loose the 3g functionality, but better a working t tablet , then a bricked tg.

If they have the same form factor, you should be able to. I haven't tested it though.

thanks for your answer !
and has it the same form factor ?
maybe someone know it ?
i also sent my tablet to RMA from Asus , but they made me an offer for 540 Swiss Franc to replace the Motherboard ( app. 600 dollar ).

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I can't find an image of a TF300TG motherboard, but since it's bricked anyway, I suggest you buy one, see if it fits, and if not, return it.
