I assume you have the 64gb? as the others are on back order.
Surface Delivered
Received mine today also.
I am having a hard time linking my outlook Microsoft account and my old Xbox live account otherwise having fun.
I wonder if either of you could do a test for me on your Surface please?
Can you open up a powerpoint presentation, and then try and "Print to Onenote" I know this is possible in Office 2010 and Office 2013, I am very keen to see if its still there in the RT version?
Or is there any other way of sending a powerpoint show to Onenote?
Cheers

Just got my 64gb delivered a few minutes ago. There were very little instructions with it. I got my Microsoft account linked up but not sure how to get all my contacts and calender synced up with my Office 2010 on my desktop. I guess the days of Acticesync are gone and it all has to be done through the cloud. Is there any way to sync it up with a desktop standalone Office program?
Otherwise very cool.

Bluestacks isn't in the store yet - I just checked (LOL). We need to reasch out to them and find out their timeline.
First Gotcha
The first limitation I've encountered that I'm not real fond of is the lack of POP3 support in the mail client. If you go to Mail -> Settings -> Add -> Other Accounts, it let's you enter the info for a pop3 account then populates a screen with the info it's retrieved from the server, then shuts down with no message. I don't like that.

Yea.. I know they are planning on supporting it, but they didn't say when. I'm good with playing with it all for now and I just got it connected with Xbox music(got a free year for being one of the first 100 in the store!) so that should keep me occupied for a few days lol

The only problem I have with my surface is that it doesnt treat the microsd card as part of the library. The sd card is only useful for transferring media or watching or listening to one file at a time. Other than that it is great. I have to admit thatbi like my lenovo yoga a little more.

I had heard that the MicrosSD would not house apps, but only media but did not realize it would not be part of the library. I am sure that will be addressed.
The only issue I have had is the Wifi disconnecting and I am right next to my router.
Its a windows 8/ rt thing because my wibdows 8 computer does the same thing.

What about the google applications? Are there any google map or gmail? How is the readability on the browser compared to an Ipad with retina display? And finally...have somebody tested any games?

No gmail yet. Readability is great. Web pages fill up the screen perfectly. I played hydro thunder hurricane and it ran at 30fps. Looks like a more graphically demanding version of riptide. I have fond memories of hydro thunder from my dreamcast days.

You can get the sd media into the library. It involves going into disk management (via desktop mode) and adding a mapping to a local ntfs folder (you need to create this folder on the c: drive of your surface. Once you do this, you can then add the local directory (I created c:\media and mapped separate folders for each library, i.e. Music/pictures/videos) or subdirectory to your library.
There is a thread on wpcentral discussing this.

You can also download the app "metro commander". It allows you to view all your files and folders in metro without switching to desktop mode

has anyone had any success with the playon mobile app on the transformer? I downloaded the trial windows and the mobile app from the market. Set up the server and the tranformer sees the playon host. i can browse the video, but once i select something to play all i get is an information type box with the program name and such. i cant seem to actually get any video from the thing.
thoughts?

Yes mine worked. The trick is to tap the blank area. Then it will pull up the video in full screen.

Playon's business model is BS. I bought a key years ago when it was 40. Now I can't use "premium" features. Total bs

Same here.
I have also been using Plex on my desktop (connected to TV) for a long time, so when their Android app came out I jumped on it. Much better app IMO, and a fair, one-time, fee. Happy to pay anyway, since the desktop program is awesome and free.

Interesting. It seems like Plex only does locally stored media though. Is there a way to have it stream from basic Hulu?

My wife's nook stores books on the nook...if that helps
Is this exopc krighton?
On the sdcard partition: nook -> MyDocuments. You have to refresh My Files before it'll show up, probably a couple of times, it's tricky. If you go into a book and come back out, the new additions show up after a few seconds of refreshing.

possibly...jumping from one tablet to another month by month does sound like something a krighton would do
just sold my nook color so need something to play with...
i think the nook app needs a bit more time in the android oven....i'll try some others.
Tried them all over the last few days. Moon reader is the best so far reading my 600+ epubs off micro SD. Kicks the crap ouy of mylibrary for scrolling and load times.

I like Asus stock Reader. Interface is nice and smooth. Even turning the pages (unlike most of the other readers).
Hello All,
I am a high school math teacher considering the purchase of this for classroom usage. My goal is to wirelessly connect to my desktop PC and run my windows software from the tablet (using Jump Desktop or something similar). I will be controlling a program called SMART Notebook. My question is this: the only reason I really want this tablet over many others is the accuracy of the S Pen, which will be awesome for writing equations and such. However, will the S Pen even work while using those remote desktop control apps? I've heard people say it only works for a hand full of apps. If this is true, I would not purchase this tablet. Other tablets just are so unresponsive with styli that I've tried. It's very frustrating. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
In case this is a tl;dr situation:
Will the S pen function smoothly and accurately in an app such as Jump Desktop or any other app where you remote access a PC?

U do know that the s note app automatically does math formulas and equations. Actually works pretty cool. Just to play around I wrote up a bunch of fake equations and it figured it out

Somehow i think you unresponsiveness issue is not coming from tablet itself but the network you used to connect both device... if that's the case note 10.1 wont be any help either...

I was testing the tablets with no network connection. I was just testing the accuracy of writing with various styli on various tablets. I didn't have an opportunity to try the whole PC remote control setup in the store.
Is it just me? Do I suck at using styli? Haha. I couldn't get things to write correctly. It would always miss spots in my numbers and stuff. As if you're writing in pen and it is running out of ink.

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda app-developers app
It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

Ouch Microsoft needs to make a ton of changes if they want to become a serious contender in mobileOS. The only thing that pushed me to buy the surface over a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2013) is Microsoft Office since I'm a student.

Well in my case its network related. My download speed rarely (if ever) peaks above 200kb/s and the ping times to the microsoft store are terrible, it seems to be incredibly sensitive to connection timeouts.

Ouch. That's not my case though and still sometimes the store will move at a snails pace meanwhile everything else I do is blazing fast.
You guys tried googling it? I found an answer somewhere involving troubleshooting the Windows Update service and clearing store cache.
