CNet should have just waited until the iPad 3 came out before doing the comparison. Seriously, the iPad 2 came out in March, and the Prime came out in December. Meanwhile, the iPad 3 is just 2 weeks before an announcement.

And on this iOS vs Android debate, I always felt iOS was smoother and easier to use. However, I use an Android because it's far more customizable and I get bored quickly with home screens. Plus flashing ROMs and downloading APK's are fun.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I'm sure they'll do another one once the ipad3 comes out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toyotaking88:
The apple app store is good yes but give it time and the android market will be there soon if not already there, it already has most apps apple has so.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXtremeAzzKicker:
Fanboys

Cnet is a great site except for comparing anything to Apple. They are very pro apple and don't give the best reviews on anything other than apple.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Great example of ipad2 limited functionality. Android did everything you asked of it right out the box. Plus you didn't have to spend an extra$50 on some b.s. HDMI adapter piece.

I like your post...I ran out of thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Maybe they're ipad fanboys but not in this case with Evo 4g vs iphone 4. Go EVO!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
my prime is the worst tablet because it has wide screen like 99% of all screens made in the last 5 years

cnet I don't understand you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
I prefer browsing on the Prime, it might not be always as smooth but I like the way it renders and occasionally the flash capability. I also think its a better looking device, though poor for portrait orientation and hence reading. I much prefer the app switcher and desktops, though my jailbroken iPad 2 had some slick options for multitasking.

I would have to give a "win" to an iOS device simply because the app situation. The Apple store just completely trumps the Market in every category except tweaking the screen. I could literally try an amazing new app every day and never touch the limits of what's in their store. I hope one day Android improves because I'd be more than willing to spend more of my time with it.

Software is 95% for me personally and unfortunately my Transformers only weak spot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
But as others have stated, ICS in itself is a more powerful and functional piece of software that iOS. When you come right down to it, iOS is just a glorified launcher. I'd make the argument that Apple's admittedly superior app store exists partially to compensate for missing functionality in iOS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
I guess you guys have had better luck with opacity owners than me. I have only run into two so far. One is a fellow programmer coworker who thought the prime was very cool and was impressed with the tablet and dock combo. When I ran through some of what it could do he was amazed and may actually be picking one up. The other is an undergrad student at my university who asked me about it and even thought it was an ipad. First thing I said is that all that is similar is the form factor, beyond that it runs android, which is where he cut me off and said the words "I'm sorry". Yeah, seriously just like that. Then I ran through a lot of things it could do that his ipad couldn't and his answer was "I don't care about any of that.". It was pure blindness which just flabbergasted me considering he was a computer science student. All the other students were interested in it as I was playing with it but he was the most vocal about the whole quick demo and it not being an ipad so therefore worthless. I am a TA in that class as I am working on my masters part time.

Either way the cnet review was not very thorough and they made some odd observations and conclusions off of those. A big one I haven't seen mentioned is resale...how could they even judge that considering the prime hasn't been on the market long enough to really have a resale market. Any that are resold are selling for full price as they are still very limited in supply.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
I have no real argument there but mostly because iOS is getting a little stale for me and not because it's radically deficient. It has it's own pluses like amazing integration with the Apple TV etc.

As someone who is way too easy with my wallet in both stores if say you're severely underestimating the amount and quality of the software. If its an extension, then it's being extended into one of the best os's ever. I prefer to see it as a strength of 3rd party commitment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] speegler:
I like cnet reviews but not prizefights...they always seem to boil down to opinion of a few and not facts like the reviews. Or at the least I can counter their reviews with real people's reviews.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
The apple appstore isn't so great. When you look at apps for android like wifikill, no apple user will ever get their hands on to an arp spoofing/poisoning app. Android has more hacker oriented apps than ios. Apple is all games, productivity, and misc apps. When you look at i.t/business tablets like the cisco cius, they run on android. Ipads are toys, they do their basic tasks... but at the end of the day when you look at business and performance users, they're on android.

I hate how much government subsidies apple takes as well. Every time I see something of a school getting ipads for their students I want to dismantle the irs for wasting our tax dollars on overpriced consumer toys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
cent should be absolutely down right embarrassed to have this video they should take it down put a new non-biased one up and issue an apology, they just want to keep that check rolling in from apple, at least they aren't as bad as BGR though, did you see their galaxy note review, hilarious
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] element20three:
Wow

This was by far the most ludicrous review by CNET to date. :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
Other than the display and possibly the GPS, TF701 seems like a step down from TF201 from the CPU department...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scsurface1:
Everybody always seems to bring up how much better the Apple app store is, but when I ask what app they can get that they use on a daily basis that I can't get on Android, they are speechless, but there are numerous apps I use that they can't. More isn't always better, not to mention we don't have to go through all the rigormoral (sp) of itunes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
this is the truth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
I have both too. I get a little tired of the simplicity/intuitive argument as well. I find iOS kind of insulting in it's simplicity and lack of customization. If my 4 year old can run my TFP, ICS is intuitive enough for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1Shotwonder:
That was the worst comparison ever totally bias ... in the performance the quad core wasnt even mentioned just one thing that stood out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
If CNET Really wants to get me to click on their site and read some silly article, then give me a Prizefight of Apple Customer Service VS. Asus Customer Service.

That would be awesome.

It would be a TKO for Apple in the first round and Asus would be laid out on the mat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Props for CNet for their best try at trolling. Still lacks much 0/10 but 5/10 for effort. Trolling was to obvious to give any more troll points for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
School boards choosing iPads isn't a government subsidy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
who is paying for it? if it's a public school - the government is through our taxes - which is subsidizing apple in the same fashion we subsidized the housing market, the auto industry, insurance, and oil. It's government assistance going into the private sector.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
The government isn't assisting apple, they are buying products just like they buy pcs and toilet paper and chalkboards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scsurface1:
and you dont call that asssisting apple? people would be all up in arms if the government only bought exxon gas for the schools to use in their busses
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scsurface1:
the govt doesnt buy those things, they money to the states, states give it to the districts, and the districts buy wat they need from whoever they want to. if the government is buying ipads for everyone, then they are helping apple out. dont fool yourself into thinking they arent
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
Ask apple to give you a permanent jailbreak exploit, handed out by them cause the users asked for it. This is the equivelent of what asus did. Whether it voids the warranty or not, you cant deny that they didnt listen, and ill take that over the itard bar anyday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eddie Bombay:
New iPad vs Prime video. The real deal

Thought this was a pretty good unbiased review from zedomax on his new iPad vs his prime. So before some of you think about ditching your prime I think you should watch this 26 min vid.

[YouTube]YM88uL5LB3E[/YouTube]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
nice vid for IOS vs Android. thought it was a spec for spec comparison..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Theres nothing "unbiased" about this at all ... he heavily prefers the prime (as i do but thats not the point)

Its more of an IOS vs Android video anyway, hardly touches anything

to do with the prime .. only functions of android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] felisen:
I agree. Video description should be: "Experience switching from android to ios."

Just as he pointed out ios users not knowing android, he doesn't know enough about ios. In the end it was an interesting video, I still love my prime! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
No. This is a terrible video. This guy does not know a lot about iOS or Android. He is certainly biased.

In my opinion, Android and iOS both are pretty neck and neck.

Performance between the iPad (2012) and the Transformer Prime follows:

The A5X has two A9 cores @ 1.00 ghz.

The Tegra 3 has four A9 cores @ 1.2-1.7 ghz.

Processing power: Tegra 3 wins and is fairly close to newer dual core A15 chips.

GPU wise: The A5X wins hands down.

The main difference is the Prime has a nicer build quality, is thinner, pretty equal battery life (without the dock) but has a MUCH lower resolution.

The iPad 2012 has an incredibly high resolution that is pushing for newer high resolution screens.

I use Android and iOS every day. I cannot decide which I like more just like Mac OS X and Windows. Android fans should be happy about the new iPad because it just means more high-resolution screens for everybody. iOS fans should be happy for Android because it means iOS is going to get better.

and everyone should be excited for Windows 8 for ARM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
You're right... he doesn't know a good amount about iOS. I thought everyone knew about the split keyboard on iPad. Guess not. He also complains about the lack of Google-specific services while not comparing them to Apple-equivalent ones (Google music vs iTunes??)

But he does bring some important points on the iOS experience. We all know it. Android is levels beyond iOS. Apple knows it and their just too stubborn.

I honestly would've preferred him to do this video in Japanese. His Engrish isn't quite there yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Nice vid. The points he goes over is exactly why I prefer Android (Transformer prime) over the iOS (iPad 3).

I have both tablets as well. And have used Android and iOS for awhile now.

Youtube on iOS just sucks. App needs to be redone.

Browsing in iOS is smooth and touch response is better. However Safari just doesn't function half the time on alot of sites.

etc etc etc.

New Retina display is really nice. Text is crisp. I prefer ibooks and etc on iPad.

Movies... even with Retina display. Movies are better on Prime. Better aspect ratio. etc.

Coming for a user who has both as well. All the reasons he points out is exactly why I use Android over iOS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eddie Bombay:
I noticed he was having a hard time with YouTube HD to work on ios, does iOS play HD by default? On some of the videos he was playing he couldn't really tell the difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I don't think YouTube app on IOS plays HD by default. I have an Ipad and never noticed it saying HD or anything like Android version does. the videos look good but not as good as on prime.

Hmm, I thought he is Korean when I saw the Flag of South Korea on his table..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmoney94:
IOS can never be Neck to Neck to Android...

The Ipad hardware is good but IOS is garbage....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
After watching this video, I have more respect for the more "Sophisticated" Android OS. He compared the OS on the 2 best tablets out in the market today. that Ipad interface was soo boring. As far as functionality and everything goes, Prime spanks the Ipad really bad. Android YouTube app is way better and loaded up faster. Android mail or gmail was better. even the Ipad browser loaded up slower. plus you seen how the touchscreen on the Ipad was sketchy. had to keep tapping several times to make something happen. This video was a horrible reminder of part of the reasons I love my prime more than my Ipad. Android OS just has alot more going on. plus ICS now makes things simple yet still has deep features. Especially on the multitasking. Ipad multitasking is a joke. I don't feel the video was biased. he compared all the major common apps people would use on both devices. That new Ipad n IOS 5 looks just like my ipad1 on IOS 4.2.1. no difference on the surface(aside from display resolution). Damn that Ipad looks so boring to use. I watched most of the video but got bored looking at that simple Ipad screen. Ipad is for the more simplistic person. Android is for the more complex and imaginative person.

ill never go back to Apple. my Ipad worked great for me for 2 years. But coming to Android has opened my eyes up to the fact that so much more can be done on a Android tablet right out the box. video clearly showed Prime the better device. even prime homescreen sailings was faster. plus I love the point he brought up about tablet apps on IOS. which was true. All in all, new Ipad looks like a bore to use. ill stick with my thinner, lighter, more advanced technology(tegra3 quad/5 core) having Transformer Prime.

on another note, haven't you noticed that the new Ipad hype has seemed to die down already. this new Ipad hype has Sizzler out the fastest out of all generations. seems like apple losing their touch. Especially with ipad2 owners not being impressed enough to upgrade. previous generations made you want to upgrade. not this one ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmoney94:
I bought Ipad 2 this weekend and i have being playing around with all day..

i received a email containing a PDF file .on the native email i couldn't even see the attachment,so i downloaded the gmail app,now i see the attachment(PDF)

I cant save the file or print the file all i can do is open the file...

I dont know people are so happy with IOS....

Somebody tell why.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
iBooks could solve your problems
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
Only watched the first 10 minutes but I thought they were very biased. It was clear that this guy prefers the android experience to iOS. Also, comparing Google Apps on iOS and Android seems silly to me as it seems natural that Googles primary target will always be to provide the best viewing experience on devices running their own OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
if you jailbreak your ipad2, there's a hack in cydia to allow you to download email attachments from within email app. there's also another hack in there to allow you to add photos or files to the email, WITHIN, the native email app. naturally the email app won't let you do this. Normally you would have to go into photos app, then choose a pic, then select to email it. the hack by passes this and allows you to do it within the email app. its extra work just to get those basic functions, which android does out the box easily, to work on Ipad.

Another great reason to jailbreak would be to get ifiles. that's a good enough reason there alone. it'll allow you root access to Ipad file system. basically a file explorer. this will do wonders for you as you can move files n everything with in it. ifiles is a must have. with it you won't need iTunes anymore to do anything. or you won't need to do "open in" once you click on a file or media file. you can just put the file in appropriate folder and it'll work.

if you need anymore hacks or info to bypass some of ipads limitations, let me know. I spent 2 years Modding my Ipad to break Apples grip on things. my Ipad is closer to an android device, after jailbreaking and several hacks, than it is to an Ipad out the box. Ipad out the box, stock, blows hard. a jailbroken Ipad is at least doable. still far behind android on functionality but at least way more than on stock setup.

forget all the "open in" and open this app or that app on Ipad to make things work. Jailbrake it and it'll make the Ipad more tolerable at least. you get a little bit more breathing room being jailbroken. it sux because you shouldn't have to jailbrake your stock Ipad to do basic things that android does out the box. But jailbrake is needed if you want more freedom(not even all that much) and functionality out of your Ipad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dogswind:
I'm concerned with these insanely high resolutions (like on this new ipad) becoming the norm. I know the next transformer is following suit, as well as the next acer. How the hell will standard definition videos look on these screens? They are already pixellated enough on my barely hd laptop screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
They look fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zerodameaon:
The iPad 3 doesn't mean Android is going to get higher resolution because Apple will just sue everyone else out of existence. I'm waiting for Apple to file a lawsuit against Samsung for using its own tech in their upcoming tablets (if you are not aware the retina screen is a Samsung product).

The one thing that should be mentioned but yet has been forgotten about is Bluetooth 4.0. That tech is pretty cool but not worth buying one device over the other for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Awesome demandarin. I love reading your comments. You always hit the nail right on the head. iOS is a major bore to use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD1093:
Hi guys,

I have a question, maybe is stupid, but I have searched on the net and I could not find anything to clarify my question.

My Android version is I9100XWKI4 / I9100XXKI1 / I9100DBTKH1. So a ROM (2.3.4) from Germany.

When I try to update the ROM to 2.3.6 via Kies I get always the message "No update available".

Do you have any ideea why Kies doesn't find the newest version for my phone?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Try Check Fus. Google it for info.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You have the newest version for your phone note your phone or the codes on the phone do not match any on KIES server due to flashing .

Its your phone provider that updates the firmware to KIES as and if they want and some are well behind the later releases and unlikely to update further until soon expected release of ICS ..

[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
I keep getting problems with all the anker batteries I used.

Around 5 different ones now.

My phone shuts down randomly, get's hot and sometimes it is rebooting automatically.

The most annoying thing of it is when it reboots when it is in my pocket, calls etc will be missed untill I turn my phone back on.

I also tried different HTC batteries and all of them are working pretty good, battery life is not the same as the Anker ones but it won't reboot or shut off automatically.

I like to use the anker ones due the longer battery life, does anyone knows what te problem could be? I tried 100 different roms, calibration methods and battery monitoring app but I keep getting problems with it....

Niek
[HTC Sensation] dallashigh:
Have you tried an OEM Evo 3D battery? The majority opinion seems to be that the actual capacity is pretty much the same as the Anker, and as an official HTC battery it is probably much more reliable.
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
But that won't solve the problem?

I want it to work with the Anker one :P
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
If the phone shows the same fault with different batteries and ROMs then it sounds like your hardware is faulty and your phone is running much too hot. The OEM battery probably has better tolerance than the Anker, so doesn't overheat and drop the output voltage - hence rebooting.

Either get the motherboard replaced or stick with OEM batteries.
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
The problem is gone when going back to S-On and using original Roms...

Even with the anker battery...

So i can't send it back for repair... any ideas?
