[Q] is this the tab for me?

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

Why not use one of these? I use it all the time when I'm in hotels that don't have wireless.

Id love it to be that simple, but im not allowed wireless of any sort at work, so i cant use any bridges or similar, backwards i know but not my rules. Its wired or no network!

This I haven't been able to test. Someone else might be able to answer it.

Personally I use http://dx.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691
Works perfectly, 40Mbps. (speedtest)

The dock belongs with the tab. It's a fully functional one. (even to navigate.)

Bit tricky, but it can be done.

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.

Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.

perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!

I think you would need a specific driver for that. It works on Ubuntu, so they might have an open source driver?

No open-source driver that I know of, It's natively enabled on ubuntu.

Dock keyboard dead after 4.2 update

Hello,
After the update to JB 4.2, my dock is recognized by tablet, the charging process work well, but the keyboard is dead! Even if I change the settings, made a cold reboot or Wipe data, the situation is the same!
I made the update without dock, but I don't think that is relevant.
The tablet was never rooted.
Seems to be a hardware problem? Can be a coincidence with the update to 4.2?
Thanks,

Any suggestion please?

Maybe try a full wipe and reinstall. It sounds like you followed the same process i did. My keyboard is working similarly to how it did before the upgrade, occasional missed keystrokes and all. In fact I'm typing you this on my TF700 keyboard as the cooling fan on my laptop is currently dead.
Out of curiosity, do you know if you have the actual TF700 keyboard or one of the 300 versions that are supposed to be floating around out there?

Duh, that's what I meant, sorry for any confusion. I think I identified mine as one of the newer TF700 keyboards. It's possible that could be the problem.

Game controllers?

Had anyone tried any gaming controllers? Which one did you try? How did it work?
I'm strongly considering the PowerA Moga Pro and wanted to get some opinions before I took the plunge.

I say go for a brother. I've been looking for one as well. If you get yours before anybody else responds, definitely write your review!

Check my connectivity thread...
I've tried over USB OTG these: PS3, XBoX 360 for Windows, Logitech F310 and F710, Moga Pro. All work.

I definitely plan to share what I come up with. This device is way too powerful to just talk about cases and screen protectors all day.

I don't have one to try. The only problem I see with using it is where to set the phone when you're using it.

[Q] TF700 Keyboard

I know I've seen this before, but the search returns nothing.
Does the keyboard for the TF201, or Tf300 work on the Tf700? Which is best?
Thanks,

Tf201 is exactly the same keyboard. 300 fits but is sized thicker.
