[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Another vote for the Sony here. I absolutely love mine.

They are quite different of course; The Sony is a more premium tablet with the form factor and the smooth responsiveness to match it. The Iconia relies on its lower price, since its relatively heavy, its screen has nothing like the flexibility of the Sony's TruBlack (or whatever its called). On the other hand, the Acer has the full-size USB port and more conventional form factor that many like.

Overall, I would recommend the Sony to absolutely anyone considering it. The only drawback I've found so far (though I know many others have found some buggy bits that should be cleaned up in time for ICS) is that there is no hardware display out. Of course, the Acer also does without the ubiquitous mini-HDMI so thats obviously not an issue.
[Sony Tablet S] AnimatorJoe:
Go with Sony

I would definitely go with Sony, I had an acer A500 which wasnt a bad device but its pretty large in comparison to the sony. The Sony is definitely more portable lighter and had an ergonomic design. The only thing sony lacks is HDMI output but that wasn't an issue for me. If there aren't any DLNA Devices available the amazing screen resolution suffices. Great for presenting my work to clients without lugging a laptop around.

thanks for the input.. I went with a s tablet...and I like it so far....i posted on this forum to get feedback from you that have this tablet...so I knew in advance it would be a little one sided
[Sony Tablet S] coolfire000:
Sorry to say but dude, there are options for a 3-pin chargers i.e. the one for laptops which can be easily used for the tab even.

And dude you are forgetting the most useful "IR REMOTE control function" that NO one else can provide
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
Tell me now!

If you know of a way to use the USB port, please tell us, share a link to them.

The impression is, (without opening up my tablet), that the USB port does not connect to the power. I would love to be wrong!!

As to the IR remote, it is a nice feature, but I personally don't need it. All of my home theater devices are Samsung and the remotes work with each other.
[Sony Tablet S] coolfire000:
Acer v/s Sony :: Obviously SONY hahahaha......

No, it is not possible to use USB as a charger, but I am talking about the general 3-pins only.

It is technically not possible to use the USB as a charger for the tablet.

For more you can refer the following post " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497511 "
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
To confirm what coolfire's saying, USB charging would require some very specific hardware designs and even then it would be tricky. The Sony doesn't include this capability, mostly since it uses a 10v battery, double the USB standard 5v.

On that note, I would check very carefully if you're looking at other tablets which claim to charge from USB as many tablets wont and many will emulate the behaviour first shown by the iPad. Those devices won't charge from USB but won't discharge either, effectively running the device on the 5v provided by the USB connector.

[Sony Tablet S] deno24:
Tryed both

I just returned a a200 cause I bricked it, but figured I'd upgrade and get this Sony.had it two weeks, well having used both I can tell you I prefer the acer. it feels better looks better is not as laggy has a better OS, also has full size USB, acer also gets ICS and the ps3 controller works without a 30.00 cable from Sony. only thing better about the Sony is the awesome universal Remote. did I mention the acer is 50.00 cheaper? this tablet S will be going back so I can get another a200.

How do u get the plug in necessary to view certain pages with the chrome browser..also i cannot view videos on certain sites in addition any "featured " links in google when clicked shows errors.. sorry im a chrome noob any help is appreciated..

Edit: websites show puzzle piece and says no plug in available to display this content
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] njones15:
Because it is in a beta version, it lacks certain features and functionality. As of right now, there is no flash support. Later, they will most likely add this feature, but if you need flash now, you will need to use a different browser. My personal favorite at the moment is Boat Browser which is free on the market.

What kind of mod are you referring to? I know most of the newer kernels support Ezekeel's battery control method (manually set charging limit). Check out NSTools on the Market if you haven't already - hands down the best OCing / tweaking utility for the Nexus S (4G).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ke1evraTi:
So I have had Ubunutu installed on my tablet for a few good months now and love it. It actually works so well that I sold my macbook and now only use this. I have been trying to improve the speed of this thing and was hoping that some of you might have some insight.

I have been using Xfce instead of gnome or Unity because its faster but the keyboard shortcut keys (brightness, sounds, etc.) no longer work. Is there a way to fix this or is there a better working alternative.

I have also heard people mention they updated to 12.04. Are there any performance or interface improvements?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdeer80:
yes very good idea, i just started using ubuntu myself..any insight from a veteran on performane tips or programs will be wonderful.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaffeineHead:
I just finished reading through the other Q&A thread and several people mentioned that updating to 12.04 fixed the battery display. I think its worth updating and just seeing what happens.

As for different enviorments, I have run unity, gnome, xfce, and lxde. Gnome classic was nice but I found xfce to be the best compromise between performance and features.

I am interested in running chrome so I would like to get hardware acceleration working. I have been reading over what lilstevie has written but its not clear if I need to use uboot to use the cros. If that is the case does uboot only work with linux or can it be used to launch the android as well?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Backwardsblade:
Hmm, I'd been dualbooting stevie's work for a while. I believe he had partial (very partial) acceleration using the CrOS kernel.. not the OS. I believe uboot was linux only though, I had never gone that far. However, I'm unsure of what's changed, I've been locked up in studies the past few months. I had been pleased with a tweaked gnome classic build for a while but I took a break to try paulburton's ICS preview.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Google does NOT release Linux builds of Chrome for this processor architecture, so it is impossible to use Chrome on the Transformer without emulation or using Chrome for Android (ICS only) beta. The open source Chromium browser is available and is not Google Chrome.

Hello,

My flavor of Ubuntu being slow as hell, i would like to use Xfce as a WM. I tried to install it via the GUI and the command line, but no success at all. No package on the repositories (I enabled all of them).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peteed1985:
Ok i'm confused because wikipedia lists the 10.1 Galaxy Tab as having 3.2 Honeycomb yet Kies says my 10.1 Galaxy Tab with 3.1 is totally up to date?

I also saw alot of news from Samsung saying that it will get ICS but i've seen nothing to say if its soon or what.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamCM:
In some regions, countries or w/e the 3.2 update isn't released yet.

Maybe try updating over the air.

Samsung will release ICS for the tab in Q1 (they stated) but probably it will be Q2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peteed1985:
Not too sure what over the air means lol. I tried it when I was connected to my wifi and also when connected to the PC via cable with Kies. I guess maybe you mean via 3g. So I tried it just now and got nothing. Seriously what reason would they have to not allow update worldwide for it lol? Just pisses off the customers who get jibbed out of the performance boost the update would give.

If they did this for 3.2 I have to wonder if i'll be screwed out of ICS and never get it too or get it in a few years lol cause it seems they CBF updating mine.

I had this issue with the 7 inch galaxy tab where the internet said the 7 inch had Gingerbread but the newest OS was Froyo and I even went to the Samsung Australia site and they had a user manual download there for Gingerbread so I rang up Samsung and found out despite the website getting all its info for my country updated to Gingerbread that it wasn't out yet and had no ETA. Finally like 6 month or so after the website listed Gingerbread the update came lol.
