    ASUS Transformer Prime

    I've been keeping up with news about the TFP mainly on XDA.  It was them that started the huge backlash to make ASUS give an official statement (On Facebook) saying that they will have available a tool to unlocked the bootloader, but that it would also void your warranty if you did.  It took...

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    So the ASUS Transformer Prime is still plagued by basically non-existant GPS (can somewhat locate by wifi).  Wifi is still very moderate and not great.  The stock browser can be tweaked a bit by settings to have it run smoother, but Opera Mobile seems to be best browser for this tablet with...

    If Apple allowed people to customize the feel of the UI (which lots of Android users love), would it feel fragmented?  Lots of themes/widgets/etc. so that everyone's experience is different? I want my phone/tablet to work without much hiccups.  I want a great market where I can get the...

    So I'm looking to get my first tablet (see thread -> http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php?topic=2196.0).  I was pretty sure I would get an Android tablet.  After asking some gadget/tech friends, they're suggesting to get an iPad (probably iPad 3).  My arguments for an Android tab is for the...

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    So weak wifi, no GPS/weak GPS and slow browser issues seem to persist, I stay reluctant about the ASUS Transformer Prime.  However, that's what comes with being the first out of the gate with a new gen of technology.  TFP is the first with the Nvidia Tegra 3.  I'm fairly sure that when Ice Cream...

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    The guy in the second unboxing video is the least excited monotone person ever. After reading a bit more about the TF Prime and latest owner reviews, I'm inclined to wait until next year to get an Android tablet.  With CES around the corner, I'd like to see what's going to be announced.  Acer...

    So what's the gossip about the new Android phones/tablets that will be announced at CES?

    I don't have any iOS devices, but C.H.A.O.S HD (helicopter game) is free on iTunes. http://itunes.apple.com/app/c.h.a.o.s-hd/id460066121

    A Nexus tablet sounds very interesting, but I'm not going to wait 6+ months for a tablet.  I'll be getting something in the next 1 - 2 months.

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    Where did you read that?  There's a huge 56 page thread going on at Slickdeals where people are saying their pre-orders have shipped.  Some are saying that they should be receiving it today or tomorrow.

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    I've been wanting a tablet for months.  I just couldn't justify the cost of it.  So for my bday/Xmas combo gift, my wife was going to surprise me with a TF Prime.  She listened to me talk about tablets and had my brother pretend to ask me about tablets.  She looked around and got on the...

    ASUS Transformer Prime

    So are we really going to have to wait until Jan (or later) to get our hands on the Transformer Prime?  The latest availability date is Dec 19th, right?  I've been reading about the Expansys pre-orders and how those people are being told that the new date for them is Jan 20th.  Maybe they're...

    2011: Year of the iPad 2!

    No comments about Motorola winning it's lawsuit against Apple in Germany?  It seems Apple has lost two big lawsuits recently, but we'll see if they're upheld.  I really hate all of these ridiculous patent lawsuits.  It's unfortunate that a lot of these were deemed patents when they shouldn't...

    Sad news...

    Thanks for the link to the update.  Such a sad situation and horrible about the trip.  But boy, is his mentality amazing.  Extremely generous to share what's going on with everyone.

    2011: Year of the iPad 2!

    Haven't tried it, but Cluzee has bad ratings/comments in the Market.  It doesn't support all phones yet either.

    Black Friday 2011

    Nope, not worth dealing with the lines and getting there super early or camping out.

    So I'm ready to cancel my cable.. what should I do?

    We have Cox for internet and phone.  We have DirecTV for TV.  The main reason we stick with DirecTV is for NFL Ticket.  The wife is from the midwest and needs to watch her team's games that they don't play locally here.  Otherwise, we'd probably switch to a lower cost TV solution. My coworker...

    2011: Year of the iPad 2!

    I still think you can sell your TF and dock for near $450.  I don't know of any of my friends that will be camping nor will I, even though I'd buy the Transformer for $250.  The difference of $150 still isn't enough draw for me to camp and hope that I'll get one.  I'm gonna say that the people...

    2011: Year of the iPad 2!

    So leaked Best Buy Black Friday ads show the ASUS TF on sale for $249, the Toshiba Thrive for $279 and the Acer Iconia 7 for $189.  I'd rather take the upcoming TF Prime, but for $249, the Transformer looks great.  However, I've never camped out for any Black Friday and don't see myself doing...
