after the 3.1 update i got a keyboard update and allowed it, now my @ and " are reversed. Anyone experienced this / have a solution? thanks

Edit: fixed, for some reason it had switched from the asus keyboard setting to standard android one or something, switched back and now fine

Yeah I have this problem... I use the Thumb Keyboard when not in the dock but when I have my TF in the dock it defaults to the US keyboard layout i.e. @ and " swapped... I'd love to know how to fix it.

Probably just a mix up in the FW. After a couple of days and Asus have noticed and people have complained they'll probably just pop out a mini update to switch them

With its in browser flash support can it run online flash games? = Yes

Is the battery life really as good as claimed under proper usage? = I get a good 5hrs of constant heavy use without the added keyboard-battery, with the keyboard-battery you can double the time and some, think its stated figures are 16hrs combined.

With the hdmi out, is it capable of playing films etc on a TV like you could with a normal laptop? = Yes i do this when away from home in hotel rooms, just plug in the HDMI and everything is mirrored, played Avatar 480p full screen with no problems at all

Hope this helps.

have just tried mine in and out of dock and not reverting back for the moment, will keep an eye on it. After you switch to the correct KB does it default again to the US as soon as you undock and then redock?

Awesome. Cheers mate

Really struggling to find a reason not to buy it now. I don't really need one... but I do want!

Woot, YouTube runs perfectly in 3.1

But, err what happened to my gmail widget?

I want to sell my netbook and get one of these!

Especially as it has 3.1 now.

EEE 901, the keyboard annoys me as typically when I'm using it in bed at night, I cannot see the keys!

ye ye

and with youtube hd working a lot better, which before it only had hq, is a big bonus for it

also the scrolling is more responsive and is swift so its really nice to use

I might treat myself and get a case for it, a leather one if possible, want something better looking than the official one.

Why do you guys sit in the dark using your laptops?

Because I don't want to get back out of bed to turn out the light.

I don't anymore as I sold it, howdver when college had to be completed, it would be endless nights typing documents on my acer d255 dual core netbook, but this is sensational in comparison

Fighting myself deciding whether to order one now. One final question that will probably cause me to buy it instantly:

Can I map a drive/folder to my windows PC to access music/video. Or is there an application or similar I need to be able to stream media from it?

There are some applications allowing you to stream, but there basic android apps. I think there might be an app but I haven't used it myself

however I am unsure of this
