I was under the impression that you had to have a Taiwanese TF in order to install it. Did you just install a TW Honeycomb stock ROM then upgrade to ICS?

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Why does a keyboard for an Android device have an "Alt" key? For the same reason Hacker's Keyboard is so popular? Ie Splashtop, terminal emulators, SSH stuff. Also, how do you generate characters like without an Alt key? How do specialty characters work on Android in the first place, on the stock keyboard? There's a lot more Alt characters than the "Specials" page of the keyboard.

My TF101 had a delicious Ice Cream Sandwich update this morning! The interface is hardly different from Honeycomb, but its certainly a lot smoother. Keyboard lag in the web browser (such as when making quality SA posts) seems to be gone. edit: after playing with ICS a little more, calling it hardly different seems unjust. There are a lot of appreciable tweaks and tune-ups that have been done to the UI. If you have a first gen Transformer, be excited.

I think it just means you'll have three color choices for the tablet. Three garish, garish color choices. With Apple having cornered the market on elegance, ASUS has decided to shoot for the Juggalo demographic.

I'm really liking my thinkpad tablet for what it's worth: the pen works great, heir android customizations are pretty good, the side buttons are really well done (you can't hit them accidentally). Plus it just has a solid feel to it that I like. It'll probably be obsolete relatively quickly but it's getting ics in may and was a total of 450 at the store I found it in for the 32g plus stylus (before tax). And when it comes to Citrix, being able to use the stylus is key since the Citrix desktop I remote into isn't optimized for touch so I need precise input at times. That said its definitely a niche tablet: if you don't need a pen or don't do work on it I expect it's worse than other options.

nukethewhales posted:Have any companies even demonstrated GPU chipsets that can outperform what's in the iPad 2 (PowerVR SGX) yet? ASUS might end up undoing Google's attempt at smoothing the UI out in Ice Cream Sandwich if they're not careful. Nah, 2d hardware acceleration (scrolling and stuff for example) is really pretty light on the GPU. If they hit problems, it would show up mostly with 3d games, presumably in the fragment shader area.

I'm going to buy a tablet in the week following the ipad3 announcement, one of the following: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB ($399 CAD) Acer Iconia A500 16GB ($369 CAD) Asus Transformer TF101 16GB ($329 CAD) I'm in Canada, I'd prefer Android, I can get an iPad2 for $519 CAD currently. I'm assuming/hoping there will be a slight price drop for all of the above in the next month as per this entire thread, otherwise I'd just go out and buy one today. It will be used for -light word processing with paired bluetooth keyboard (or usb with Iconia) -web browsing -watching locally stored movies -games/apps/unimportant garbage I have a Galaxy Ace phone running Android 2.3/Gingerbread, which does everything I need totally fine, so I don't really care about the ICS contention. Is the Transformer the preferred pick assuming the same relative price differences? Has microSD, compass, and GPS which are nice Proprietary cable pisses me off though. Don't understand why all these tablets don't have mini or micro USB for charging/data. Iconia has a fullsize USB port though, which is pretty huge for being able to simply plug in thumb drives or a keyboard. Maybe that's the ticket. The word processing task is something I have zero experience with using a tablet, and is one of the main justifications (to be used for notes or writing up rough drafts of papers). Any huge red flags about the Iconia or huge advantage for the Transformer I've somehow totally missed? All of the above tablets seem to be on pretty even footing other than the port differences.

They use proprietary cables to allow them to charge the tablet faster. So they could do micro USB charging, but it would take forever fully charge the tablet. Sorry for not stating my volts/amps/ohms/watts/joules/coulombs right.

ModestMuse posted:They use proprietary cables to allow them to charge the tablet faster. That's a terrible reason. More watts = faster charging and you can get that by upping volts or amps. Yes, higher current can burn up a cable, but you can get a decent charge rate at 5v without going up that high.
