Where were you able to get a working apk for Zinio? I couldn't find anything on their website about android support. I really want to use their service, but without an app for my TF I just can't get myself to take the plunge.

Seemed to be installed as part of the 3.1 release (was certainly on the leaked version)

Well, that just makes me even more excited for the update.
(Just got the tablet end of last week, so I'm still in that hesitant stage before rooting / custom romming her)
It is on the 3.1 that Roach posted.
Did any of you guys used Zinio yet? I would like some feedback...
I used it on the iPad and it was good. Transformer is coming today so I'll post how it works here.

I would greatly appreciate it. I really enjoy me some mags, but it's a pain in my (you know) to keep track of all those print copies, not to mention how much space they take up.
Zinio looks like my solution, I just can't do it without an app for my tf you know? But yeah, if you could post your thoughts I'd be quite grateful.
Yeah it came with the 3.1 update and it works fine although the text has been a bit blurry a couple of times but it seemed to sort itself, there's not a lot of options either its very basic but i love reading my mags subscriptions on my transformer so it does me fine

Yea, was just going to post the link myself as well. I'm not sure it's exactly the same thing, but I love Pulse for all my online reading at least. Just about every site has an RSS feed these days
Just noticed that I can't view my magazines if im offline, that's a bit rubbish

Well u have to download that they can be viewed offline. Also the zinio version that ships with the 3.1 update no longer works since there is a version on the market the one pre loaded in the tf101 is no longer supported by zinio and doesn't work is now u have two apps in the app drawer which is kinda anoying

That is really annoying. On another note, I kind of wish this app wasn't included in the first place. I have no need / use for it, but don't wish to root the TF, just to remove it. Although, I should admit that I have found most of the other "bloatware" apps that have been included quite useful (Polaris, for example)
Nook app
I've been using the Nook app for magazine reading. Images are sharper than Zinio in the few mags I've tried and the "Article View" is really useful. The only con is that the app is a little slow. Hopefully the 3.1 overclock kernels are not too far away (release the codes Asus, lol).

another Facebook app optimized for Honeycomb has just been released.
NOTE: If you have FriendCaster for Android (non-optimized; phone version) on your tablet. If FriendCaster Tab doesn't download successfully, you need to uninstall the phone version.
First impressions, it looks very similar to FriendMe.
I keep getting the same notifications on FriendMe over and over and over again. Maybe Friendcaster will work better...

Same here, I'll get notification for new messages but will just sit there and never open up the message. Everything else seems good
Wow didn't think I would say friendcaster is wayyy better. I click on a picture and I can scroll to the other ones. And its ultra honeycomb smoothness with the graphic acceleration enabled
Pictures also load ultra fast aswell however messages are borked for now

Ah. So this confirms that its a overall app problem, hopefully it gets resolved soon.
P.S. new facebook chat with messaging integrated is TERRIBLE :X
I like it better than friend me so far, does a little bit more, smoother, and only beta, I wish I could view all my albums, but I'm sure its coming, I hope chqt gets integrated so I can delete go chat

I would love if there was some way that we could do the similar things that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can do with dual applications.

Any comments
I saw that and that looks sweet.
I am assuming that is built in and Samsung specific?
It is built in and Samsung specific. However, once we get some AOSP roms like CM10, we could get a similar effect if someone would compile a build with Cornerstone in it.
http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
First time I saw this.
Blows my mind!
We need this.
Cornerstone looks awsome too, but not close to what samsung is doing
To be honest, there are already third party apps out there for "windowed" apps for the most common tasks (browser, calculator, notes app, terminal emulator, movie viewer, IM client, etc), so I don't see this being so a huge deal... The windowed apps I speak of are actually very good too. You can have 3 or 4 apps on the screen at once if you'd like!

Im sure that some functionality like this will be quickly copied. Might be a paid app, might be bundled, but I'm sure it will be copied.
Cornerstone, overskreen, super video. Plus, we'll probably get some porting action.

I think more things like these will be coming, but sure it would feel nice to have it integrated. Somehow I don't think it's going to be common anytime soon.
That dual window is pretty cool. I kinda like that ir remote. They should make a ir blaster that plugs into the proprietary outlet. Would be a cool feature to control all our TV/stereo/cable.

Typing on web browsers (default one and chrome) are extremely slow, especially typing Korean (I actually type in Korean a lot). I would type a few words and they will show up on the screen some time later. English is not as bad but still feels extremely laggy.
In addition, general web browsing feels really laggy. Pan and zoom do not feel smooth at all and do not feel like it has a very fast processor, which it does.
Maybe I'm spoiled with iPhone because smoothness is what it excels at, but I still feel like the letters should at least appear on the screen as I type them.
I'm not sure if this is normal.

I'm on the .26 update and still experience general lag that my wife's iPad doesn't have. I'm an android guy for the long haul for reasons other than speed and responsiveness, but it would be nice if these problems could be fixed. Maybe we just need some butter! Jelly Bean butter! All of my ICS experience points to the OS being the source of the lag.

Dolphin has some serious privacy issues. Stallman would be livid. Like, it makes the chrome Botnet look like GNU in comparison.
I got b& at /a/ for sh!tposting ;_;
I've had the slow down in typing that you've mentioned. For me it only happens when I'm filling online forms or in a web game chat box. This issue may not be the tablet but whatever the web site is using for code. Maybe its a flash issue.
Apple has designed their hardware to work perfectly with the ios software. Android doesn't have that luxury as every OEM slaps together a product and hope there are no issues. We have apps for everything like ios but a **** ton of OEM products and os versions that can affect performance from device to device. Are you using a different keyboard app that might have tweaks in the settings?

Is this really still an issue? I thought the privacy concerns had been resolved last November. Dolphin for Tablets is definitely the smoothest browser for me when scrolling large pages, even though its Sunspider marks don't come close to those of Chrome.

I tried the dolphin browser, and it does definitely feel better. It even works better with Korean than both Chrome and default browser. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I can live with this.
I guess I will wait for Jelly Bean and Project Butter.

Depends on your keyboard as well. I use swiftkey and its predictive algorithms cause lag. When I use the default asus keyboard with my dock in place, lag disappears. Try some different keyboards.

This is a terrible misconception that the grass is greener on the other side when in fact it's not.
iPad users experience some of the same problem Android tablet users experience when it comes occasional slowness. Simply google searching your problems and filtering it to apple.com you will see that Android is not along on this issue.
The tablet with the best web browsing experience is the Blackberry Playbook and even I encounter some websites that want to slow everything down to a crawl. Luckily with Playbook the trouble site doesn't affect anything beyond the web browser which I can easily close out and relaunch.
I think issue centers around most websites being designed specifically for desktop browsers that operate of X86/x64 PCs that have had years of optimized coding and design to handle web browsing.
Just jump back to AMD K6 series and the Intel Pentium II and III to relive horrible web browsing performances.
ARM CPUs are still not there yet but the industry is moving in that direction and so this is something that I predict will go away as more sites get optimzed for tablets.

and im talking about lag issues...just like the title of the thread
I didn't mean to imply that ios is better or I'm looking at greener grass there. I am fine with android and expect it not to function like a desktop. Like Google and the nexus line, the hardware is set up the way the original os company envisioned. Apple put together a great hardware product and is fantastic at creating a top notch user experience. I don't think anyone would deny the ipad has its faults/issues like android tablets. Maybe it is a misconception but its also wrong to expect ipad performance from a non ipad product.
I agree that its more of the website interaction and not the tablet itself. I use thumb keyboard but haven't tried the swift one.
I have had all three ipads as well as all three Transformers. In every case the Ipad out performed the Transformer in the web browsing area using the stock browser. My TF700T comes the close to my Ipad3 but its still not as fluid at my Ipad3 is for internet functioning. I would assume with the release of Jelly Bean for the TF700T that there would be an improvement in the web experience that would be similar to the Ipad3. I perfer a 'pc' experience with the tablet I utilize which is why I have stayed with Asus and the Transformer series. Looking at the entire package of functions my TF700T performes for me it meets my total expectations better than the Ipad3 that I currently own. They are both just tools that fit different peoples needs and are very different in their approach to those needs. I am particular to my TF700T but I am not blinded into thinking that at this time its the end all tablet. I would also quickly tell you that I am very much looking forward to seeing what my TF700T can do once Jelly Bean has been implimented.

It's certainly not snappy and smooth. Even on a fresh reset it's pretty slow.
As everyone knows, when Facebook Home came out, it works on only select phones. Well now there's a Patch APK for Home, Facebook, and messenger. All 3 have to be installed. Login to Facebook then turn on Facebook home. Tell me what you think of the app?
For me personally, I would enjoy it more if you can switch UI's while in use.
Here are the links for the APK's

I've tried Facebook Home on my TF700 and I admit to say I don't like it. The landscape changes to Portrait mode and nothing is really exciting about it. I don't exactly like looking at all the pictures my friends post on Facebook, and some of them are just gross depending on whose picture it is my friends posted.
Anyhow, Facebook Home is nothing but a picture scouter for people to just look through and Like things. It's pretty much almost like Instagram. Plus, the advertisements Facebook put forth on TV...they're not quite exactly bright ideas for the scenarios. One of them (the family dinner table in particular) received a lot of negativity about how it encourages disrespect and ill-mannered actions on the family dinner table.
As if it didn't come with enough bloatware already.....
