[Q] Polaris Office: Version? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Simple question, can someone open Polaris Office and let me know what Version its running, also, is it like the GS3, meaning its a reader only with the full version later through a download?
Thanks

Polaris office 4.0 build 4.0.5001.55FV03

Seems to be a full version, but I'm new to Polaris. Used it today and I'm somewhat impressed.

Yeah, its probably the best Office app I have used... period...
My only dislike is the inconsistency across platforms and devices...
Id like to have the same version on BOTH my Phone and Tablet...
They sell it in the Walled Garden (TM), they need to hurry up and put it in the Android Market (Google Play Sex Store)... Id purchase it anyday, hell id even pay $50 for it! (dont laugh, when I had the money when Office 2010 came out I bought it, and havent regretted it since!)

Google TV

So I was just curious if anyone was going to develop for the new Google TV getting ready to get released? I definitely want to get one.
Also, will it work like the cell phones? Will it be possible to tweak your tv or add custom settings anything? I don't know much about it, but I was curious.
This is the first time hear about Google TV
Yes, you can either buy the stand alone box or the Sony TV with it built in.

I read that you will be able to control your Google TV set or box or whatever with your Android handset or iPhone.
Yup, they are supposed to simultaneously release the remote control app and the TV.

I got the logitech box today. Pretty sucky documentaion other than getting the thing hooked to the tv. I've been poking around in it for an hour or so. Im digging it I must say, and it has alot of potential. I just think they should have released the market at the same time with it.

if you look for Logitech Harmony in the android market.... thats what you need to control your logitech revue.... i have the sony one.. and i just got the BD remote off the market but havent been home to try it yet.
Best Buy...
Stopped into Best Buy before work and picked up the Logitech unit.
Connected it to the DISH box.
And there is a fee to use DISH with Google TV.
Will play around with it some more after work...
How much are the boxes? And how much is the Sony TV?

Yeah I think we all do, but I guess the problem is probably that currently it doesn't live up to the requirements for being a *real* Android device (no GPS for instance).
And if Google were starting to make exceptions to the requirements for their own sake, it might very all make a lot of producers angry, all asking why they couldn't have an exception as well.
For 2.3 (or 3.0) they could write a different set of rules.
Hi
does anybody know if the logitech revue will work in australia with a simple power adapter or will it require something more
and will it work with Austar (pay tv service) or will it need support like dish network?
i refuse to wait the extra 3 months for the aussie release, cause apparently Oz is still a third world country

HP Touchpad price dropping to $99/$149 tomorrow!

Hey guys I saw no slickdeals that the price of the HP Touchpad is dropping 300 bucks tomorrow cause they dropped it! I called to confirm and its true, I bought 3 for the full price and they 100% guaranteed that I would be given credit when the price adjust tomorrow at 7AM EST.
Heres the Slickdeals thread:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
You can either wait till tomorrow for the price drop or call in right now and pay full price and have it adjusted tomorrow morning. Some are saying the new price is live for the Academic shop but some people can't see it with .edu email addresses.
I have played with the tab in a store and I have to say for $99 this is one Hell of a steal.
Good luck.
Wow. I was expecting a liquidation, but this is remarkable. For browsing the web and random Document editing, this is an amazing price!
Does anyone know the hackability of this device? Do you think that, despite discontinuation, that the app market might become at least respectable (with xda involvement)?

I don't know about the hackability but I'll tell you this tab handles flash like a boss. Its the only one I've seen that can do 1080p youtube without a hitch. And I dunno, they are killing off the touchpad itself but they want to keep webOS alive, I don't really know what that means for webOS on the tab.

I'm DEFINITELY buying one and I'm sure ICS can be ported to it when the time comes since the source will be released for it. This is a SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM CPU and GPU and HTC uses that for their CPU/GPUs so I don't see why it's not possible, someone would have to write a kernel from scratch though to make it smoother, just like how the HD2 has Android, but it's not perfect since it's not using it's own kernel. If someone actually takes the time to unlock the bootloader(if it isn't already unlocked) and write up a kernel for it and port ICS to it, this tablet can be badass ;D $99 Android Tablet with ICS pl0x.

Got one for $90. I mean, at that point I couldn't resist. Heck, at worst I feel like if I use it, dont like it, I can still flip it for a tiny profit on craigslist or ebay.
Im really hoping for an android port. The specs on this tab are actually quite good. Im probably going to end up keeping it regardless. I'll probably just end up using it for bedside web-browsing, movies, and music.
There's a killing to be made by porting android to this thing. thousands of people just picked up this thing on slickdeals (there are literally over 11k browsing right now). I know tons are willing to donate (im good for 10$-20$ myself depending on quality and progress)
Looking forward to a touchpad xda forum soon

What do Inspire owners prefer, iPad or Google pad? And why?

All I want for Christmas is my...... I was wondering what fellow Inspire/android users are crushing on when it comes to a pad. I LOVE android with its different spaces, the HTC sense, hundreds of ROMs and widgets. Unfortunately, the iPad is kinda sweet and no one android pad has caught up. For me, I would go for an iPad simply because android lacks that one stop usability for everything that Apple has, andoid pads are overpriced and android is missing a killer office suite. If Microsoft made office lite for android and prices were lowered by 20%, android would make a dent.
Until then, I'm crushing on the iPad 3.
What do y'all think?

So it basically makes a nice colorful paperweight/kindle. ;p Most of my work is word processor/calendar/ppt intensive. I think the Atrix is a great idea if it could be perfected so that we could have a phone/pad or computer that would be our source for presentations and for sites we could use some more space on.

Picked up the Jetstream last week and love it! Much prefer it to the ipad. The price is high but I think the specs will pay off in the longterm.
On this size screen I prefer the normal sites vs apps or mobile so the lack of honeycomb apps isn't a big deal.
We need some secs on it though. I want root!

My children love their $700 toy that is the iPad. Personally I am not crazy about tablets, I prefer my laptop. Anything I would do on a tablet I can do on my phone or laptop. This is just a personal opinion of course, if I traveled a lot, I would probably find a tablet more appropriate because of size. All that being said, I would love to sell my iPad that I haven't used in probably 8 months, but my wife won't let me because the kids love it. If I did purchase another tablet, it would be an Android powered tablet just because I prefer Android over iOS and it would probably be the Asus Transformer

Heh well until the ipad dies I am on gadget restriction as per my wife. My MacBook died a while back so I bought a new laptop without discussing it with my wife(asking for permission) so I am not allowed to buy anything until something else dies. Not really in the market for another tablet anyway, its just not practical for me. I would buy a new phone before I would buy another tablet

I have an iPad2 and enjoy it quite a bit, but I am basically an Apple guy (more Apple gear around here than I care to admit) and the iPad fits in well with the Apple ecosystem. (And yes, I own an Inspire 4G but until I bought it, I was a solid iPhone man).
Truth be told though, if the Jetstream had existed when I bought my iPad, I would have SERIOUSLY considered it instead. That is one sweet machine.
Liked the Viewsonic G-Tab, then sold it on Ebay and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1", when Staples had the $100 off coupon. Couldn't be happier!
Asus transformer, B70 model and rooted ...

[Q] Too good to be true?

So after having my TF101 for over a year, it took a nasty fall and became unusable. This was of course devastating, made even worse by the fact that I am about to start at a new school. I have been wanting to upgrade for awhile, but since I bought it with my last paycheck from a job I lost, this has not been possible. However, due to this tragedy, my parents are considering buying me a new one, but paying full price is out of the question. So, I found this site through Google selling a TF300T for only $229, which seems too good to be true. Can anyone say if this is a legit site?

I read a lot of comic books and the 10.1 screen is perfect for them. Also, I like the convertibility. And of course, the Nexus not having expandable storage is a deal breaker for me.

You can expand the storage by connecting a memory stick/HDD into the micro-USB port by using some cable (can't currently remember the cables name). And there have been rumours of a Nexus 10 coming soon. Anyways 229 is probably too little for TF300 because here where I live the 32 GB one without the dock is 419.

If you can afford it, then, I'd go for the TF700. I downloaded the "free preview" of Watchmen from Barnes & Noble and it was pretty cool, but it was also pretty obvious that on a high-def screen it would absolutely rock. I'm not much of a comics guy, but if I were, that's definitely what I'd do.

I second this, got my from Amazon, next day shipping, Like new, for 269 I believe just a couple weeks ago. Still had ICS on it (no promise there though) so if I had wanted to retain the ICS bootloader I would have been able to.
I'm smitten with mine, although I really REALLY wish dev. would move forward a little farther.
Nice tablet though! My fiance was able to trade her BS prime in for a brand new TF700 at Best Buy, straight trade even thought we have had it for almost a year due to the issues it is known for. Color me jealous

Surface or Thinkpad tablet 2?

I own a Surface for a week now and I just saw that Lenovo finally put a date for the release on November 16.
I love the Surface hardware, but I am having some complaints on the software , especially with the mail app not working with the POP3. I am thinking to returned it and buy the lenovo even that it doesn't look as nice but because it runs windows 8 Pro. I'm thinking to install outlook and office so it should run as a PC and I can work without the work around that I am having to do with the Surface.
What are your opinions?

It depends on your preference. But personally I feel that going to the thinkpad just because the mail won't work is very foolish (no offense)

Well you can always find an app to replace the stock mail app instead of just selling it away. But since the Microsoft surface is new, I can't really blame you for it. Just hope that Microsoft comes up with a new tab and more development on Microsoft apps.

It will not be close in price. Base model with no keyboard is $650. If you want to have a keyboard (which I consider essential for "work" in most cases) it will run you $800+. Also, the combined weight of the device and keyboard is heavier and thicker than the surface with touch or type cover.
I have the same thoughts. I bought the Surface and like it a lot so far. However, it really is a work in progress since the app selection is so weak. If I could also run Windows Desktop apps it would be easier to wait out the lack of apps on RT. I played with a Samsung ATIV SmartPC at Staples and it's also really nice.
I suspect the performance on the store apps will be better while the desktop performance will be passable. My main concern with these Clover Trail based tablets is that I just don't know how well the battery life will be. The Surface battery life is comparable to iPad. They are claiming 10hrs but who really knows. I figured I would play with Surface for a while and if I didn't like it I would return it by the 30 day period.
The Thinkpad is $150 more than the base surface that I got, so I don't think it's a huge price premium. The keyboard is $120 so it's the same as the type keyboard. I expect the Surface Pro will be over $1000, so it's not in the same class for me. If you are going to buy office anyway then the Surface RT is a much better deal.

The question is will they add any more functionality and/or let others develop a replacement app.
