[Xoom General] Matt.H:
I had considered buying one...

The money aspect kept me at bay (ok, everyone go ahead and yell at me--CHEAPSKATE!!) :)

I've seen some reviews that concern me, so I think I'll hold off till more products hit the market, drive some more reliable products, and lower prices.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
I just want to say have you not read one 720p video thread regarding this subject to make a statement like this? scene 720p stuff don't work at all without encoding. no need to write anymore since you can just read previous threads explaining how picky 720p is.
[Xoom General] P00r:
SD card are complex and sometime fragile, it doesn't take much to get a bad block and once you get one the embedded controller can go wrong and write the whole card as bad this can happen with any hardware. Just curious what brand was the card ?
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
The only thing I have a problem playing are pirated movies and tv shows. All videos that are encoded properly play freakin wonderfully.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
I might as well watch the videos on the PC if I have to spend 15-25 minutes re encoding each one, thats what I usually do. I usually dont watch stuff twice so that is why im disappointed. I'm not even referring to pirated stuff, just anime/asian dramas @ 720p require reconversion which is a bit tedious.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
If you obtained your anime/Asian dramas from scene torrents then it is pirated.

In fairness, the Xoom is fairly particular about encodings though. You can encode a movie to play fine at 720p but you basically have to use specific settings.

I tend to rip my DVDs using high profile settings as an example. If I want to watch on the xoom/g2 I just rerip and push. Not optimal but I can live with it since I rarely watch movies on mobiles except when traveling.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
Well, I refuse to use streaming websites so its my only option. I don't know if I would say its pirating if there is no other way to obtain it for some shows.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Sorry for going OT but horse hockey. It might be comparatively expensive bit there are importers who will get you anything still on the market. (As someone who recently paid for the season sets of Kimagure Orange Road I assure you they can be purchased if you have the desire.)

What you actually mean is that you are not willing to pay what it would cost to get it legally.
[Xoom General] crisisinthecity:
I sell licensed t shirts for a living. If you are getting copywritted material for free. That's stealing. It really is. But I understand the appeal of free.
[Xoom General] musashiken:
Not exactly true. Well of course everyone tries to be cheap. But not all stuff are available to certain countries especially when they have varying censorship rules. People trying to get some shows via importers are taking a risk with customs.

Do you know that South park is banned in certain countries? Try telling people in those countries wanting to watch it to import it.

So your stance on paying more for legal stuff does not apply equally to everyone in the world.

And not everyone is entitled to streaming on the internet. I believe even certain streaming sites are restricted regionally so not everyone in the world with an internet can stream stuff legally simply because their governments do not allow it.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
I'm talking about asian stuff that you can't even buy or even pay for sites like dramafever/crunchyroll though but ok.
[Xoom General] crisisinthecity:
I think what you are doing is fine. I'm sure you would pay for it if you could. But technically... :)
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Sophistry.

Since the poster I responded to complained about the quality of streaming I would argue it is not banned in his country. Regardless "it is illegal to watch in my country so i have to pirate it" does not seem like a particularly sound argument.

South Park is also perhaps not the best choice to use as a comparison. List what anime that is banned in your country that you want to watch.
[Xoom General] musashiken:
I did not say he should pirate stuff. I was only saying that not everyone can legally get anything they want by paying more.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>Regardless "it is illegal to watch in my country so i have to pirate it" does not seem like a particularly sound argument.

Yeah, you know I always said pirates should use better arguments.

OK hows about this one.. piracy is needed for the betterment of society!

Support: Piracy drove industry standards like MP3, without which we would be faced with a plethora of balkanized proprietary (and DRM'ed!) formats. Because of such stalwart trailbreakers like, ah, Napster, and, ummm, Limewire, the music industry had to play fair with the consumers, and make available DRM-free music, and at reasonable prices.

It's not just music, but with every available form of content. Without the encouragement of, ah, user-distributed content, the movie & music industry would have no reason to forgo predatory pricing. As morally repugnant as the term "piracy" may evoke, it's a necessary check-and-balance that allows the consumer an important say in the pricing of content.

So, when you pirate, you ARE SAVING THE WORLD! :p

OK or something like that anyway.. I could never get the jingo right.. somebody help me out here...
[Xoom General] guthrien:
I thought I might add a different viewpoint to the discussion as I just purchased a Xoom. Not for $600 or whatever crazy price the adopters jumped in for, but a few hundred dollars brand new off of craigslist. It seems it's already becoming easy to score good deals on Android tablets as the market is being flooded with new models, some of which will barely ever see significant sales before they are thrown aside for the next shiny model.

I bought it because I'm so fascinated by the devices themselves, I had to see what this whole Android Honeycomb was all about. I owned the Ipad and now the Ipad 2 which is truly the greatest gadget I've ever owned. It has become in integral part of my life, at work, in my studies, my entertainment and even gaming which it is getting pretty amazing at.

The reason I mention that background is that its not the specs of the computer that matter much with tablets. Its all about software and OS now. Its about the OS maker having a vision and creating an environment for the developers to follow. It doesn't matter how many different slates or phones get released with Android on them this year, until Google focuses on this project instead of treating it like one of their many side projects it will continue to feel somewhat bootstrapped and going in circles as hardware manufacturers try to drum up interest by swapping the screens or internals.

every time I've owned a Linux device people talked about freedom, but what good is freedom in a device if there isn't much to do with it? I rooted day one because there frankly wasn't enough substance in the app shop. However, there are some really cool features and beginnings here in this Honeycomb that are thrilling. It seems like the perfect time for people to make that jump into learning development if they are so inclined. I could mess with just the UI for several days before getting bored.

I'd suggest not trading or selling your Xoom for the next best thing. I've gotta say its built really well and just well enough established that people have it ready for whatever Google decides to do. Its a nice starting point, just as good as any other Android tablet out there. Hell, I have to say the build quality is much better than most. Its just not going to matter until Google comes up with a better plan. Or maybe Amazon, who knows. I'm glad I have this to see what's next, its a nice machine.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
First, welcome! :)

Second, I agree and disagree! :)

I agree that mobile toys are a "new world," and it's fun to be in on the ground floor. Definitely fun for the tinkering types. BTW, you kinda contradict yourself a little bit when you say "what good is Linux if there isn't much to do with it.." You can tinker, of course! No biggie..

I disagree in that the tinker-toes don't make up the majority. Consumers are just that, they consume. And if toys make them inconvenient to consumer, it's a bad toy! Next, better toy!

Android as it is isn't quite ready for consumers, and the Tegra 2 platform also isn't quite up to par. Disenchantment sets in! DIVORCE TIME!

So how much is the Xoom going on CL.. I haven't checked lately.. can't see myself jumping unless it's below 3 Benjies...
[Xoom General] MarkMyShark:
I like my xoom and when it gets ice cream sandwhich along with the other tabs and some high end phones the market problems will be solved since it'll be the same operating system

[Xoom General] talipandas27:
+1 agree. :)

i dont understand why some people buy stuff and dont really understand or know what they're buying and then they end up complaining why it doesnt have the things they are looking for in the product.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I'm definitely disappointed that the sd card and 4g isn't working yet, and also that Google has not released the source code for Honeycomb. In fact I'm downright pissed off about it. I bought my Xoom believing that it would follow a similar course as my Droid did. I expected the hardware to be completely working in a reasonable amount of time, and then a pretty much full exploitation of all the hardware & software to follow in it's own time as developers released better and better ROMs.

That's not happening yet, but I believe it will soon; -Soon enough where my 4g Xoom sporting a kick-ass ROM will outperform most new tablets as they come out of their boxes. It's why I bought it. If I had no intention of rooting it and installing a custom developed ROM on it, I probably would've bought a cheaper tablet.

But I sympathize (very much) with those who did buy a Xoom, never intending to have to root it just to get the promised functionality, who have become too frustrated from the wait, especially as new tablets are expected to be released soon boasting better features (or on par with) than the Xoom, for less money! I mean, as a consumer, how is this not a kick in the teeth that our sd card slots have to be hacked (...thus voiding the warrantee) just for our:confused: tablets to be almost as functional as they were advertised to be?

I LOVE my Xoom, and there's no way I'm getting rid of it. In fact, if I dropped it down the stairs and killed it, I'd go blow nearly all of my pay check on a new one that same day. Does the screen suck? -No, it does not. Does the build quality suck? No, it does not. Does it suck at anything that it's supposed to do? The only thing I can think of is that it sucks at making Motorola look good. Other than that, it's a great tablet that's still going to be great for flashing that perfect ROM onto.

It all (always) comes down to"application".

Intend to root/hack/flash an Android tablet? The Xoom could be perfect for you.

Intend to leave it stock? Maybe you should look around a bit before choosing the Xoom, as there are other tablets that offer better functionality right out of the box.

Want perfect graphics from a perfect screen? You might be asking too much from any tablet just yet.

No matter what, if you don't bother to do your research before dropping several hundred bucks on some fancy glass, you're being foolish. That's the difference I see between Xoom owners disappointed about the hardware & software delays, and those disappointed in the tablet itself. The two different reasons should never be in the same thread, but they almost always are.

That's why I returned mine... Too much hoping and no actual problem solving updates.

That and it's not worth the $640 when you can get the same thing (or better) for less.

Really nice theme. Two questions.

My launcher does not look like the original screen shot in the OP. It's basically a black bar with the text icons - does not have the cut blue graphics. Is that just a custom launch bar?

Also, I'm wondering where I can get additional icons for the launch bar. For example, I want to replace contact with email.
[Android Themes] jordanphillip:
Wish u could make it work for mdpi devices doggie Thks in advanced
[Android Themes] jordanphillip:
What launcher do u use??????
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
The launcher is Launcher Pro and to get the icons and dock you just have to go into settings and pick the froyo or froyo wide dock background..The text icons at the bottom are under launcher pro icons when you press and hold on them just select change icon.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
I was reading up on the new Galaxy 10.1 tablet and I noticed that it does not have an external SD card slot built into the unit. I am reading about the new HP tablet as well and I can't find anything that says it has an SD card slot.

This makes me happy I decided to get the Transformer! 32 GB internal + 32 GB SD = 64 GB. That's a lot of movies for my next plane ride. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I fail to see the point of 64GB, how many movies will you watch? Each one is around 3-4GB max (have fun watching 10GB 1080p bluray rip), lasts around 2 hours. The longest flights are about 10 hours max.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Fly from middle America to Australia, and you'll find that flights + layovers are well over 10 hours :)

I can see the appeal of 64GB, you slap a huge collection of movies and TV shows on there, and you'll have whatever you're in the mood for always at your fingertips. You load it up once for the long run, not just one flight.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:

in all honesty, if you can tell the difference between a good quality dvd rip and a 720p bluray rip on the transformer screen at a distance of ~1 ft. kudos to you. because I can't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ubelmort:
yea 64gb is a ton of movies considering that most bluray rips are 1.8gb avi. Though I would have 64gbs just cuz I could
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
Many times I load a movie on and later really am not in the mood to watch that particular movie..so I revert to another one loaded...it is nice to have the space to be able to just have it on my tf...64 is cool.

Now add another 32GB in the lapdock and get ~90GB like I did :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
That's what I was about to say. I don't have the dock (yet) but I'd imagine you could have a total storage space of about 200+GB if you really wanted to. All you'd need are a few HUGE usb drives and a 32 GB microsd in the dock (theres a reader there right?) and one in the unit itself. Talk about overkill :D

"I fail to see the point of 64GB" That's a shame....I have the TF101/16GB + 32GB Microsd + 64GB SDcard. They are all just about packed full with movies, music, music vidz, tv series, alot of pix and more. I wish I had more room without going to the externals..... Never overkill on storage :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
If your files are already BD rips, then no need to re-encode them to save space if you've got 64gb in this bad boy. I'd probably never be able to fill it up, but I love having the option :-)
