Could anyone thats got one try it outside? I've heard reports that in the sun its pretty much impossible to see the IPS screen.

Should be picking mine up today

Mr Paul · 4 May 2011 at 10:34

I was surprised that I could read it outside, so I'm happy.

Martynt74 · 4 May 2011 at 15:34

Mine is waiting for me at home, but my housemate got one too and we noticed that on the videos there seemed to be a separate section on the market for tablet apps... Does anyone have this as he doesn't seem to... Are we waiting on an update?

Just had a look and I cant see a separate section but that may be because I am being a blind git

I am pretty sure that I read that the separate tablet section is only on the US version of the market, hopefully we'll get the same soon!

Hmm, i've just turned it on and its not finding my wireless network. Its finding many others but not mine.

Any idea what might be causing the issue?

Anyone finding the in screen keyboard a tad laggy at times?
Doesn't bother me that much because ill be getting the dock

Mr Paul · 4 May 2011 at 23:12

update the firmware

ewarwoowar · 4 May 2011 at 23:45

says there is no updates

Android version 3.0.1
kernel 2.6.36.3-00002-gb01c1c6
Build HRI66.ww_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325

So update was the 25th of April.

Whats yours?

V4NT0M · 5 May 2011 at 00:46

Love the screenshot option, no root needed

Myshra · 5 May 2011 at 09:34

There are a few keyboards built in, when the OSK is up check the options in the bottom right.

ewarwoowar · 5 May 2011 at 10:21

Thanks Myshra will give that a go tonight.

Also the 3G variant is meant to arrive in a couple of months. Damn because i'm going to want that

Only downside to it currently is no 3g

Martynt74 · 5 May 2011 at 10:29

I just tethered mine to my iphone which works pretty well, can't really think of a time when i'll have the tablet and not my phone so shouldnt be an issue for me.

I do agree however about the slow laggy keyboard. Its about the only thing so far thats making me dislike it.

ewarwoowar · 5 May 2011 at 10:31

I've found the keyboards laggy on every android device i've used :/

I seriously hope it gets sorted.

Myshra · 5 May 2011 at 10:35

It highly depends on the type usually - if it's a swype type kb then it will have a slight delay to make sure it's not seeing an error as you swipe (some phones make small errors as you swipe which makes it look like you lifted your finger off the screen for a tiny moment due to earthing) but if it's a discrete touch to type kb then it should be as fast as any other. I can type at the same speed on a ipad and the transformer using the gingerbread keyboard, I find the asus layout horrible though and deeply offputting.

I mean seriously, aligned keys in 2 rows? no, just no. It's not natural.

ewarwoowar · 5 May 2011 at 10:37

Want to get home and try the other keyboard/s now!

What apps have all you guys got?
Any nice games to pass time?

Production being limited to 10,000 per month so you might have to wait for yours:

This really sucks that they're only going to be able to make 10k a month, that's going to make the demand really high for at least the next 6 months. I was looking to get one around July, although they're "supposedly" going to ramp up production around June I still feel as if it will be a struggle to get one.

I received a replacement for my first tablet that had light bleed.

Trouble is, although overall there is less, there is now one huge area on the bottom right with bleed. Additionally there are 14+ stuck pixels. Oh well.

Tis being replaced on Saturday. Hopefully this one will be acceptable as I love the device!
