[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Neither one, intel and microsoft stay away

Neither, let's keep AMD and Intel out of the Phone/Tablet market. For many years intel has dominated and controlled prices via the absence of any major competitor. AMD simply put has not been a competitor since the old Athlon vs Pentium 4 days.

I think this entire smartphone/tablet craze hit both Microsoft and Intel out of the blue. I don't think they were anticipating a rise in smartphone tablet and decline in PC sales.

Although smartphones/tablets are completely different than PC's, these two new devices have acted as competitors to both intel and Microsoft.

Considering that now intel in essence has a competitor with the likes of Qualcomm, TI, Nvidia, & Samsung to name a few...we should see a decrease in PC processor prices as the demand for PC's drops even further.

Support competition and lower prices, never buy an intel processor based phone, lets force intel to drop prices for their PC processors...and remember this won't hurt smartphone/tablet competition since there are several players already in the game.

Just my opinion :)
[Vibrant General] :
it wont hurt competition for sure, but I see no reason for them not to get into the arena, well, no reason but for intel cause they have a history of shady business, etc. but they make a good product i will say that. I'm just more of a fan of AMD myself. Well, unless you want to

count the Pentium M or PII & III (which i love XD)
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i thought i was the one saying ati drivers/driver support sucks...

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

nvidia has one more win in the head to heads. and he said ati is better, hands down, no competition. which is far from the truth. and they said they'd pay more and sacrifice performance for a quieter ati over the nvidia which sounds retarded to me.

but, how much do the graphics chip matter in a phone? the vibrant has what was the best out when the phone was released, but it still had ui lag and would drop frames when, say, the iphone may not (it pains me to post this...). i hate to say this, but it would probably be more worthwhile to look at the software side of the android ui than just continuing to throw hardware at the problem.
[Vibrant General] :
Well from what I know UI wise isn't google gunning for a GPU accelerated UI? And we really can't say exactly what Androids future holds, but it is trending similarly to how PCs did a few years ago, and look how much more important it has become to have at least an entry level gpu in computers these days. And with the push for gpgpu computing it gets even more important.

Looking at Android today and just little over a year ago, it has evolved drastically, gingerbread has smoothed out the UI, my nexus s never lags and vibrant in gingerbread doesn't either. I have yet to experience lag on a gingerbread device not caused by manufacture (ahem...HTC...cough...lol)
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
why are you bringing up gpgpu? besides the fact it's dominated by cuda, it will be a long long long time before it is done on phones/tablets, if ever (there isn't a need on mobile devices and that will be a very fast way to drain your battery).

as for lag, you either never play games or are being dishonest. playing plants vs zombies or angry birds, the vibrant will lag/drop frames when the iphone4 won't despite having a higher clock speed (on a very similar cpu) and a better gpu. regardless of if it's on gingerbread or not. this makes it pretty clear that this is more of a software problem than hardware.

yes, android is getting better, and the gpu is becoming more important, and maybe ics will improve the graphics/ui in android. but historically the ui is the most neglected part of android and throwing more hardware at it is not the answer.

back to the main topic: as you said, intel crunches numbers better and the primary purpose of a gpu is to crunch numbers... plus intel is likely to invest more money and resources into research, development, and support because, well, they can.
[Vibrant General] :
Wow dude, you need to calm your storm. I bring up gpgpu because it very does have a place in mobile space. In fact most phones already support it (hardware wise) its useful for HD decode/encode, games, augmented reality, etc. and a gpu can do some tasks faster than a CPU therefore saving battery, and that's just 2 reasons.

Also why would I make a gaming oriented kernel if I didn't play them alot? I own around 30-40 games just on my vibrant and the only one to lag even a little ever was DD, and that one barely did. Also, any UI lag I have has was little to none, and never on stock Android, manufacturer UI being a different story. i'm thinking ahead to Android in the state it very well may be in when Intel our AMD device to jump in, not Android in its current state, which itself isn't near as bad as you describe in your statements. I don't have lag/slowness, etc. (not counting rfs lag initially on vibrant) on any of my devices, NS4g, G2, Vibrant, or optimus.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Lag is do to android not using hardware acceleration like all other oses which is dissapointing

[Eee Pad Transformer General] akl.glu:
Hey guys,

Are we gonna have a forum for the Slider like soonish? Feeling a bit lonely over here:(:(:(

Or can anyone tell me how to do a SKU conversion or how to root the Slider? Much appropriated!

Have FUN;);)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I don't think it can be rooted yet since the Secure Boot Key (SBK) isn't known (and may never be), but I'm sure in time you'll be able to root it since it's essentially the same core device as the Transformer. Did you have a transformer, or no? And How do you like the Slider?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akl.glu:
Hey Brando,

Yea I'm sure someone will figure something out. Its just a matter of time aye:)

I wanted to buy the Transformer initially, but ended up with my Slider. It's real heavy, I wouldn't call it a portable device. Its more like a laptop I reckon.

Mine is a Chinese SKU version. So no access to the Android market, I've tried installing a market APK file but didn't work.....

Very limited games could be ran on the device..... I love the hardware, but so far not liking what I can do with it:mad::mad::mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] w4rmk:
New slider owner here as well who votes for a slider forum also!!!

I previously owned a transformer and a galaxy tab 10.1. I sold the transformer and kept the tab initially and then the slider caught my eye. I really liked the tf concept but it was just too bulky and heavy with the keyboard. Overall the slider gives me the best mix of weight with a keyboard. I also have an iPad and a Touchpad so I didn't want to just get another slate and typing on the glass screens was getting old. I do wish Asus had gone with a faster next-gen processor for the slider as they released it right on the cusp of the next wave of processors coming out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qhinton:
I don't see the purpose if it doesn't have a trackpad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] powerwalk:
"New slider owner here as well who votes for a slider forum also!!!"

I love it! For those who say it's heavy, it's only ounces heavier than the Transformer. The keyboard incorporated with the tablet, sold me on this model. It's fast, plays all the games downloaded from the Market, and is so easy to operate. Asus thought of everything on this one. EXCEPT the sound. The volume up to max is still almost inaudible. However, I have a tiny eyeball usb speaker that does a great job with blasting the sound.

I don't like clutter, so I downloaded App Organizer from the Market and now have but one icon on the desktop. When tapped, it opens another window with all my 8 different Folders containing some 55 apps residing within.

I couldn't be happier.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Im not exactly sure why one would need a track pad qhen the screen is a touchscreen...?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
When the Dev scene for the slider starts rolling i am pretty certain the mods will create section will be create for it.

/end of thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hoshi411:
I got the slider two weeks ago and als I can say is it's going to be a really nice device once it can be rooted.

let's hope the sbk flies out somewhere soon. It's already been two weeks and I have a lot of plans for this device and a lot of projects waiting for it once I can get the key to my own device.
[Acer Iconia A500] bassem100:
I have IGO on my htc hd2 and it is working well on it but when i transfer it to the iconia it refused to work because the screen resolution how i can make it open??
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
i was able to run igo some days ago at iconia but the max resolution of igo is 800x400 or something like that - so it looks ****ty on tablet.

right now there is no igo version which will properly run on tablets.

but let's still have hope that it will be changed.

[Acer Iconia A500] bassem100:
so what is the best program to use for navigation ????
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
sygic aura or co-pilot.

both are working great on iconia a500.

navigon does not work because of missing Imei number - iconia doesn't have it.

Summary

​

Here's the deal. I have a HP Touchpad. There is a special offer on the Box.net application for the Touchpad that signs up new members for a promotional 50GB account instead of the normal 5GB account. It is the same account type as the 5GB one, but with 50GB of total storage. Account details below. This promotional offer is only available to the HP Touchpad application.

Questions and Answers​

What are the account details?

50GB total storage space

10GB monthly (calendar) bandwidth

100MB file size limit

How do I qualify?

1. You must be a contributing member of this community with at least two months of active posting.

2. You must have received at least ten thanks.

Will you change your mind or make a special exception for me since I just joined/don't have ten thanks?

Absolutely not. This is a reward for contributing community members.

What do you get out of this deal?

A warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

This all sounds great and I am a contributing member! How do I get my free account?

Simple. PM me the e-mail address you want linked to the account. I will create an account for you as soon as I can using the password "xdaforums" as the default. Make sure you change it after I post a confirmation here. Please, ONE request per user. New accounts only. Void where prohibited.

How long are you offering this?

Until I get bored, or when I'm done being nice.

Can I upgrade my current 5GB account?

No. This is ONLY for new accounts. I cannot upgrade any account, because there is nothing to upgrade. This is the EXACT same account as a 5GB one, but with more space.

How many accounts do you have left to give out?

I can create an unlimited number of accounts.

Can I integrate this into Windows Explorer?

Of course you can. Follow the instructions in this post.

Disclaimer:

I don't get anything out of this deal other than a warm, fuzzy feeling of doing something nice for you. This isn't a "sign-people-up-so-I-get-more-space" deal. I don't make any money or anything off of this. All I am doing is creating your own separate account for you on my Touchpad, and turning control of the account over to you. Plain and simple, with no strings attached. I figured who better would appreciate a lot of free cloud storage than XDA, so here I am.

What did I do wrong?

EDIT @ALL: It was a misunderstanding on the nature of this thread. To clarify, I'm not getting anything in return for doing this for any of you guys. I'm just being nice. I have to sign you guys up for it myself because it has to be done through the HP Touchpad Box.net application. Signing up on the website yourself gets you the standard 5GB account. This is the same as that one feature-wise, but offers 50GB instead of 5GB.

I'm posting this for anyone subscribed who might see it. I just figured out that you can map your Box account in Windows as a network drive. Instructions to follow.

1. Right click My Computer.

2. Select Add Network Location in W7 or Map Network Drive in XP.

3. For W7, the address is "\\box.net\dav" or, for XP, "\\www.box.net\dav" both obviously without quotes.

4. Type in your email address as the username, and then your password.

5. Enjoy.

The only one I've ever seen is Boxroid, which is the one I use while I'm in Android. Even after searching just now, this is the only Box app I see in the market. Using the terms "Box" and "Box.net".
