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 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)
Dear all, is the first time that i write in this forum, it is well done and it is my bible.
i have a motorola Xoom 3G bought in Uk (im italian) on it, i have android 3.1 with tiamt Rom ...wonderful.
but im looking some new launcher ui... and im surprised that there is not a porting of EDEN (NOTION INK ADAM) on our motrola xoom...there is somthig for View sonic but notthing for xoom.
So is there some one that is working on this porting?
for u is it possible a complete rom with EDEN UI + MARKET ECC ECC?
Im looking for a spb launcher project too...but i cant fine more news.
Thanks in advance for ur reply.

I came from and Adam am surprised that you say that. My Adam gave me troubles left and right, and beast was all I used. I am more than satisfied with the xoom, live wallpapers, Widgets, SPEED. I think you should just get the right Widgets like the wizz Widgets.

hello Folks,
Hope you are keeping well...
Checking several Android sites, there is an update rolling for the XOOM to 3.2.1/3.2.2...you guys know if the Eee Pad is going to get those?
Hello everyone,
I'm currently thinking about buying a new tablet (I've already tried the first galaxy tab and the transformer) and I found a nice deal (in France) for the Xoom 2 Media Edition.
Would you recommend the media edition for 265$ (in fact it's 265€ but since 1$=1€ for all the manufacturers...) ? I mean I know the xoom 2 is not a big improvement upon the first version but do you think this is a good deal ?
Also it doesn't seem that the community is interested in the xoom 2. I fear that there won't be any custom rom or any other work done on this table. Am I correct ?
Thanks for your responses !
The problem is that it doesn't appear to be unlockable and rootable at this time, so no development. If you don't care about that, go for it. If you want to tinker and customize, get an original Xoom. ICS (Android 4.0.3) builds are already here! Awesome!
Has anyone been able to find/install some of the apps from the Sony tablet s such as the music/video player app? Would this even be possible? It would be a nice addition to our transformers!
Nope I tried it and fonix gave it a look but neither of us could get it to work. And that was back on honeycomb quite a few months ago. Once it gets ics and if some people with more experience come in it will be tried again
