Don Lapre posted:The prime uses a stupid 15v charger instead of a 5v like most USB devices. I actually don't mind higher voltage since the thing charges from 1-100 in 3 hours. At a ratio of 3 hours charging to 8-10 hours of use, that's pretty decent. People complain about the non standard cable, but that's the tradeoff, 3x the charging time @ 5v on microusb to stay in spec, or cut down drastically but have to do it in a proprietary cable. I think I sold a friend on an android tablet when he was able to watch the bruins/ranger game live/fullscreen on one those flash streaming rebroadcaster sites while we were in the field on a job. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jan 22, 2012 |

randyest posted:Those aren't the only two options. You can have a standard USB-plug cable do 500mA @ 5V when plugged into a USB host, then much more amperage at 5V when plugged into a wall. Lots of computers now even support more than 500mA over USB now as well. Ah, see I thought it was pulling 15v over 2.1 A, but it's actually drawing it over 1.2A, it's still variable and does 5-15v 1.2-2.1a so it functions like any other wall wart..weird. I wonder if there's a specific reason for the larger voltage/smaller amperage... what's the ipad charge time at 5v 2.1a?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't ios only "zoom" to upscale for non tab apps? It looks pretty terrible upscaling to 1024x, I can't imagine scaling up to 2048 will be pleasant. They'd almost have to introduce a different scaling method ala android. Though that would cut into the devs that release 'normal' and then "HD" versions of their apps instead of making one universal version. Now they can sell you a third XHD version, hooray! It'll be interesting to see what happens to the macbook line when the ipad line has a higher res display then the 2,000+ dollar mac book pro with its 1920x....if there isn't a yield issue and this actually happens. The only thing we have so far in terms of estimating pricing for high density displays is asus setting the MSRP of the 32g 700 model 100 dollars higher then the 201 (lenovo will only say their high res device will be aimed at business users, which is usually PR speak for "expensive"). A 32g ipad 2 is 600, so it'll be interesting to see if apple can meet the same price point with the more expensive display or have to retail it at 700 MSRP for a 32gig. edit: a video of android style scaling on the ipad zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 28, 2012 |

Apple, with the iPod, finally "got right" a lot of what was wrong with the fragmented and Engrish market of MP3 players and made it accessible and easy to use. They then continued on with the iPhone and iPad - they didn't coin just a catchphrase, but literally proved that their stuff Just Works. I can't tell if you're being ironic or not. Impressive. If so, you forgot "magical" in there 12 times.

Install Gentoo posted:Are there even any 1920x1080 tablets actually out? No, all we have right now in terms of anything substantial are 1920x1200 tablets that were shown by asus and lenovo. Asus is the only one to price anything, and that comes in at 100 dollars more for the added res. Those are quoted as "sometime" Q2 2012. There's so many logistic things that need to happen from assembly on up in terms of manufacturing. I'd bet anything on delays. Asus claims "june" but they claimed october for the prime and it's only now starting to be available in late jan. If you go by the speculation (and that's all we have despite anyone claiming otherwise): apple has shored up most of these panel manufacturers (sharp, et al) so it's feasible they'll bump res on their next release. Anyone claiming it's a sure thing should look at the same exact speculation on the ipad 2 (not to mention the sure fire 5 that turned out to be a 4s) Is it a pretty safe assumption? Yeah, I don't see them continuing at 1024 for yet another gen if they want to stay competitive. What that entails though, we don't know. Lenovo won't even bother quoting anything other then "aimed at business users" for their x1200 tab. We're seeing the higher costs of producing panels directly adjusted in the MSRP. I'd be the first to celebrate a 500 16 gig 2048 tablet (even if 4:3 is a pretty awful choice for anything media related). Competition is excellent for all of us, unless you own stock in just one of these companies. Blind fanboyism, here of all places, is incredibly puzzling. Are you related to eric schmidt or tim cook? edit: This link, though from june/11 is still an interesting read in terms of who supplies display panels. It also mentions the 40-45 million ipads produced in 2011. That should be interesting to see number wise in march when they announce sales numbers. Last year (3/11) it was 15 mil in 9 months of availability (2010). This year they ramped up production to the afore mentioned 40 million range. If they hit that, that's a pretty huge jump from 15 mil to 45 in a year. Conversely the xoom moved 1 million units. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Jan 28, 2012 |

got dat wmd posted:I'm not trolling, one of Android's faults is that the customer has no real comfortable place to go for support, other than returning an item back to the store they brought it from, possibly paying restocking fees. There really should be an Android store but not like anything from that concept place that was going around a few months ago. Totally agree, but, there's so few phone manufacturers that produce anything beyond mobile devices. Sony's a good example, but I have no clue if they sold sony erricson handsets at the sony store. There's no chain of Motorola Mobility's or HTC Shacks or anything. Apple's in a unique position where it sells all sorts of hardware. If google was smart though, they'd establish a more customer friendly approach to support..but then again, it's a company you can't exactly call for tech support in the first place. I'd think if they got more into first party branding, there could easily be a sony/apple style google store. If they offered a nexus style tablet, and a nexus style google TV setup, they could hawk that alongside nexus phones and chromebooks, not to mention any in store sales of subscription services they have. They do still make most of their income from ad revenue though. Where I'd imagine it's the exact opposite for apple (software, percentages of distribution models, possibly hardware depending on their margins) quote:How does Google make money?

How would it work though? Who should be responsible for supporting what you bought? If i buy an HTC Sense phone with Android, am I buying an HTC Sense device or an Android device? It might be impossible for google to support a device where the hardware manufacturer just goes all willy nilly on android loving it up royally (see: a ton of samsung phones) Is the onus on google now to fix what HTC or Samsung screwed up? googling pushing aosp and ICS shows they get it at least, but I think the nature of how this all works (licensing vs in house manufacturing)..it's just not really cut and dry or feasible. to get even deeper: it's lovely that what makes android a viable platform with equal or greater marketshare to it's largest competitor is also its greatest weakness. you don't even have to make up an example of why trying to take the apple approach to compete against them in the market is a horrible idea. look at palm. you could argue google had more resources then palm but so does microsoft and rim, and nokia, etc etc if google didn't just license an os to as many companies as possible to saturate the market, the G1 would have been another palm pre. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jan 28, 2012 |

You act as if Apple is the only company in the history of capitalism to be truly altruistic or something really naive like that. They are a business just like any other business on this planet. Good customer relations = brand loyalty = sales. Getting people in stores for demos = sales. It's not complicated, it just makes good business sense.

What I'm saying is that they're hitting all the right notes as a company, but at the same time pleasing their customers. What Android tablet is doing that at the moment? That would depend on who you're asking wouldn't it? I'd wager if Asus shipped 400,000 tablets a month from april to june, then there might be, oh I don't know, a certain amount of people that are "pleased" with that tablet? Otherwise there would be zero demand and they would no longer produce a tablet in the market, let alone 2 followups. I'm done indulging you, there's not much of a point. You could stop making GBS threads up this thread though, but then again, that seems to be the theme.

Just stop feeding trolls, eventually they'll get the point. On topic: Has anyone else tried out DSLR Controller? I'm going to test it out with a 7D on a shoot on tuesday. This was a huge influence in going with an android tablet for me since it doesn't require an intermediary like everything else. If I can capture a still from the live view without firing the shutter/having to switch back to photo mode, that will be HUGE. Same with being able to pass through the tablets HDMI to add a second display, while keeping the camera body HDMI out free.. I'll post my results..I haven't seen anything on people using it for film production, mostly just for still work.

BIZORT posted:I want to be able to access my external hard drive (connected to a Western Digital Media Live player) over the network on my Android tablet. I'm able to access the external on my PC over the network wirelessly as it is mapped as my Y:. Is there a way to do this on the tablet? I've downloaded Astro File Manager and am playing with that. It seems it may be possible but I'm not sure what SMB is You're also able to act as a samba host (SMB) if you were to root, with the app "Samba Filesharing" Your SD card becomes mappable as a network device. Useful if you don't want to use another protocol like BT transfer, FTP, dropbox proxy, or direct USB connection. Splashtop HD is pretty rad too, in the sense that if I'm watching a movie or something, I can remote in and mirror on the tablet. So say I go to cook something downstairs but take the tab, I can leave the room but still be watching whatever simultaneously with the HTPC viewers. With a cable card tuner it also becomes a little portable 720p TV Considering cablevision won't get off their asses and allow live viewing on their android app this is a really good workaround. I'll bet anything the quality of whatever stream you get in that app will be worse then the cablecard + splashtop combo. Splashtop THD will run at 60fps vs the 30fps of HD so I'm dying to try out a little portal from across the house. Totally unnecessary but why not?

No issues with battery life here, 7-8 on the tablet, +5-6 with the dock as advertised. Add 60-70% (another 5-6) to that if I tone down everything (eco CPU scaling, 50-70 nits of brightness, gyro off, background sync off). Having a laptop with 12-13 hours of battery life is a nice change from a netbook or laptop. Not to mention being fanless, and any heat generated is all in the top of the device vs the bottom half like everything else. Between this and the weight, (2lbs in netbook form) I'm incredibly happy. You really can't feel anything when it's in a backpack which is a welcome change from my macbook, or the thinkpad before it. Just the weight of the tablet alone is really nice too (1lb). if you've held the ipad 2, it's a bit thinner and lighter then that to give you a sense of it. It's made me want a new phone with that profile actually. My current phone is 12mm, the prime is 8mm. ideal would be 6mm.. edit: the only thing I miss from the macbook is being able to run final cut, but I rarely edit on the road. I'm thinking of selling this thing after a month with the ATP. I wouldn't recommend this if you're doing heavy heavy office suite work or need to run anything legacy for work. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jan 29, 2012 |

Vimeo has a setting that locks out mobile devices from content. I switched over to the tablet browser which could serve the normal site in flash, showed the reel and was able to book the job. Flash across the web isn't going to disappear quickly and its pretty crazy that some of you think taking away the option of using it is a positive. eric posted:It's 15 million SOLD vs. 3 million SHIPPED.

I'm glad that there was a device that could satisfy your use case just like I am glad that the success of iOS hastened the demise of Flash in the long run. I'm not sure what your point is with this, other then to look super spergy? I needed to use flash, I had a device it worked on. Someone at some point thought it was viable enough to create that content with flash, other wise it would have been a non issue. Once they stop using flash, guess what, I'll still be able to access that content, just like I can right now. My point, and I actually had one, I needed flash and I had something that could do it when I needed. If I didn't I would have lost a job.

It runs like garbage on OSX and I wish it didn't exist, but when I need it, I'd rather be able to use it then wish I could. you hit the nail on the head though, flash is used in almost all gaming and media content across the web. Blame actionscript. It's up to you on if you discount how valid that is, but media wise: youtube, hulu, vimeo, fox, tbs, abc, adult swim, comedy central, HBO GO..pretty much the only major media site not using it is netflix and that uses silverlight instead, not HTML5. games: kongregate and newsgrounds off the top of my head. I really can't think of any games site using HTML5. html 5 canvas is the future, but it's still very limited. If it wasn't flash would have vanished already. edit: marketshare charts pretty interesting. 70/30 in q4'10, 60/40 in q4'11 ios/android users. if it's anything like phones it'll be 45/55 by q4 this year. more then double growth in total tablets shipped on all oses combined. even the playbook got a .2 bump in a year of sales. people like tablets, who knew. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jan 29, 2012 |

I wanted something like the laptop sleeve I have for a macbook, less of full carrying case and more of protection against tossing it into other objects like a backpack. Since availabilty still isn't that wide spread there's not many options tailored to the primes dimensions yet. I went with a wenger/swiss gear 10.2 sleeve as someone else mentioned it's a perfect fit for the prime + dock. Out of any of the generic cases for tablet only ipad 2 ones seem to work best, but the prime is thinner so it's something to keep in mind. rooCases are supposed to be decent too. swissgear 10.2 (they make em without the handle/strap option too, i figured can't hurt to have 'em)

Yep, I have 0 issues with mine like the rest of the folks in that 31 page thread. After a month of ownership I've found I'm averaging 24hrs with the dock which is killer since I commute a lot for work. The GPS thing was a non starter, I assumed it was lacking GPS in the first place ala wifi only ipads so I don't miss something I wasn't anticipating. I'm also in the camp of having my phone on me at all times with a GPS chip in there that locks in under a second so it was a non issue. Anyone interested in photography that uses a canon dslr should get this thing for DSLR controller alone, it's incredible. It's actually changing my workflow for the better for some of what I do; Tech Scouts- Take photos while on location of the room. Open them up in reader app and then draw lighting plots directly over the photos which are then dropboxed/emailed to anyone who needs to reference them immediately. Second pass with a directors viewfinder app set up with the same lens FOV as the shooting camera. The viewfinder app then saves camera position/angle, coordinates, under the "framed" shots. Handwritten notes are added and then inserted into the floor plan documents so every camera position noted has a corresponding image of what that shot will actually look like in camera. Production- Digital slate app for syncing audio in post. I've gotten faster at prepping the digital slate then the a real slate since I can quickly flick up to change to take 2 or roll 2, etc. Camera log app for recording notes and then being able to wirelessly print with printershare or email/bt/dropbox the logs over to production right away. Post - Can dump footage to a HDD with either the SD card reader or a USB card reader

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Everyone was doing fine and then you had to fall for this poo poo. He's just trying to get people like you riled up, goddamn. Don't get this thread locked again. I'm not riled up at all. I have the device in question and I really dig it. So do a bunch of other people, just pointing that out. Not sure how you get anger from fact posting? I mean, rawrrr, angry, tablet smash, something something.

DSLR Controller; if you have an OTG or USB capable device and own a canon DSLR that you use for anything other then hobby stuff, this is a must buy. Liveview runs at about 90% 1:1, live view can be full screened and aspect guides overlaid (including 2:35!)..start/stop works perfectly, tap to focus / intervalometer works too...Still haven't tried using the app with the HDMI pass through of the tablet, though I don't see why that wouldn't work. Having the camera on tricky support like a crane/jib or carmount means I can use this to fully control the camera without having to actually reach it. Not to mention a 5.6 720p HDMI onboard is 899..This 8 dollar app lets me use a 10.1 inch 720p screen as a monitor. Best app ever.

cbubbles posted:I checked out the site the first time it was linked - do know If you buy into the current beta do you get the release version without paying more? It mentioned the release version will "cost more" I think, but I didn't see an exact price. It's half price while in beta, and then doubles when it hits 1.0. So basically if you buy it early you get a discount as a thank you for supporting development of the app. You won't need to rebuy it once it hits 1.0 or anything. He updates it regularly since he uses it himself and he also incorporates suggestions from other photographers in the apps XDA thread, it's worth supporting.

Janin posted:I wouldn't hang any hopes on ICS fixing the TF101's input lag problems. It looks like it helped the xoom out a lot and the tf101 uses the same soc so it's weird you'd say that. Honeycomb was rushed out to compete, google admits it. Half rear end soc with half rear end software is not the best way to start out for a first generation, but if the flipside is continuing to not exist in a market that generates a lot of money I can't blame them that much. Catch 22.

Bruce Leroy posted:Has anyone tried out the HTC Scribe Digital "pen" (a special capacitive stylus) that goes along with the HTC View and Flyer? I'm waiting on amtels digitizer product. I'm hoping it's closer to 100 then 200, but who knows. Pressure sensitivity never comes cheap, but it's worth it for drawing. Demo vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqVmPZcZ5RA As soon as that happens I'm selling off my jot (capacitive stylus)..it's good, but nothing capacitive can come close to an active stylus like in a wacom system.
