My only gripe with the update is that they've got rid of the Android wallpapers and added the Samsung ones but I’ve got my old desktop back.

Software details:

Android version
3.1

Kernel version
2.6.36.3

Oh well... at least your only worry is missing wallpapers... mine is not having a tab in the first place :p
 
Now available for pre order from a jersey based store for the bargain price of £899.99 let me take a moment to roll about laughing and hoping that isn't the actual real price over here.
 
I can't quite fathom why anyone is investing in any Android tablet right now.

The past couple of weeks have seen me continuously visiting major electronic and mobile phone outlets, justifying spending £500 on a tablet or a HTC Sensation/GalaxyS2.

Thankfully, the local CPW is quite a large one and has live models for pretty much every phone and tablet out on display for you to play with. My first experience of an Android tablet was with the Motorola XOOM and it felt completely laggy in comparison to the ASUS Transformer.

I've been telling myself to hold out for the Samsung 10.1 due to it being made much thinner and not shipping with any crapware like TouchWiz, so I didn't splash out for the Transformer.

A week later and I'm in Best Buy Lakeside and I'm again playing with the XOOM and the Transformer, yet this time, the Transformer seems like the laggy one and that's when I realise, it's because on both occasions, the laggy tablet was running a live wallpaper.

The following week, I'm back in CPW still trying to justify spending £500 and the XOOM tablet completely froze up on me.

The Anandtech article really doesn't make for good reading either, the FPS performance versus the iPad2 really isn't a great story and for me that's a killer reason why a tablet would be bought, i.e to play bigger, richer content than you can on a phone.

For me, I'm going to wait until better hardware comes out and hopefully by then, the software will have been refined and the Market will have more native Honeycomb applications.
 
Imho unless you have money to burn buying an Android tablet now is silly, the market is changing so quickly within a matter of months better units will be available.

Hell Nvidia Tegra 3 is due around August/September and thats much much faster than existing tablet chipsets.
 
I wouldn't take the demo unit experience seriously at all, the amount of people that mess about and do stupid things to them and ruin the experience is crazy. My xoom is perfectly smooth and has never frozen up on me one in the month I've had it.

Yeah, but by the time there is a decent tablet out that uses it, it will be late 2012.

That's like saying don't buy a iPad 2, as a iPad 3 is round the corner. There's always going to be something better.

I got my Transformer overclocked to 1.4 and running quite smoothly even with a live wallpaper.
