You may be right about battery life, although my Nook Color has an IPS screen and it's battery life is excellent. Not a big problem for me as I will mostly use it around the house.

As for the 'picture frame' bezel, I gave some thought to this aspect before buying. Coming from Britain originally, I am accustomed to European designs, which are often sleek. This one is not...I concluded that the frame design will, in practice, make its operation easier, and the actual implementation, styling-wise, doesn't offend me, as it's quite nicely done. But these things are subjective...most important for me are the unit's capabilities, which look to be unmatched at this price.
[G Tablet General] ~BAM~:
The lg and samsung tablets just recently announced look to be very interesting contenders.
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
I'm hoping they release pricing for the LG & Samsung soon so I can make up my mind, but the IPS screen of the Elocity is really swaying me, although, the 3D screen from the LG looks pretty interesting as well, but if the LG & Samsung are at Xoom pricing (any more than $699) I'm going for the elocity for sure cause I just can't justify spendding that much for a toy which I'll be replacing anually.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
From either Samsung or LG, we can expect mouth-watering displays - and eye-watering prices. Both new devices seem tethered - at least initially - to carriers (Vodafone and T-Mobile, I think), so we can expect to see the same pricing strategies that threaten to make Xoom a trust-fund kid's toy.

The reason I stay away from Apple, long after my daughters have fallen for that company's products, is that I will not be tied to the manufacturer. To me, both Job's "curated experience" for the Ipad, and Samsung's greedy lunge for my wallet via contracts amount to the same thing: interference - and that's unacceptable.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Just heard from Esther Koo, Press Agent for Elocity, that the A10s are expected to start shipping in late March. That's a good month between pre-orders and delivery.

In reply to my query, she also confirmed that 4gb is sufficient to run Honeycomb, but couldn't say when Elocity would make the OS available.
[G Tablet General] Judo Jeff:
It may be enough to run Honeycomb, but man, that's not a lot of storage for files etc...so add in the cost of a MicroSD!
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Indeed - but not a great problem here, as I have a spare 16gb kicking around. A 32gb can be had for about $50.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I have an eLocity A7 with 4GB of storage of witch about 1.5 GB are available, and you can't run apps from the SD card. You can install media (videos, pics. music) on the SD card and play/view them. So far app are a no go as it seem the device doesn't know how to handle apps from the SD card. The did just get the device to read the amount of storage on the SD card properly, still no apps running from SD.

Yes, the specs sound good on paper. But in the end it has to work. That nice screen and powerful Processor do me little good when the device won't run the app I want. I'm ready to sell my A7 and just make due with the g tablet. Am seriously thinking about eventually picking up a tablet from a Major manufacturer (Motorola, LG, Samsung) if they prove to just work and run whatever app I decide to install.

Can't say I have a lot of confidence that the A10 will "work". I'm sure the Devs here can make it batter. Time will tell, until then I'm just gonna see how it plays out before jumping in again.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Food for thought. The A10 is supposed to build on Elocity's lessons from the A7. As you say, time will tell.
[G Tablet General] juxsa:
Have the pre-orders shipped out yet? I am really interested in this tablet myself
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nope. My guess is EO March (maybe) - I hope I'm wrong, though.
[G Tablet General] bluemillion:
Tigerdirect pre orders are live

Tigerdirect now has 3 different elocity A10's for pre order. The 4GB, 32GB and 64GB. The 4GB was 429.00 and I actually watched Tigerdirect raise the price to 449.00 in real time while I was on their site looking at the tablet.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
So I'm paying 150 or so more to get the same tab with a different soft button configuration and a slightly better screen?.... oh yeah, stupid sharp corners Too.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
Yes, getting the screen will be the best way we will have good suppport and good screen,and later jump to tegra3 tablets.
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
I have a contact at Tiger I spoke to today regarding this item. He stated they have 40 of each model scheduled to arrive at their warehouse 3/7/2011. At the time I spoke to him he stated that 3 of the 40- 32GB models are taken one being my order the rest are still up for grabs!
[G Tablet General] the3dman:
I like the screen on the gtab it stops others around me from seeing what I am doing lol.
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
So much for Tiger getting these 3/7/1010!. I have a pre order and it is still listed as back orderd! :confused:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I didn't think this would be released anytime soon. If we see them shipped by the EO this month, I'll be surprised. :(
[G Tablet General] Blades:
How about backlight buttons? Its bad enough that the button layout is the most obscure **** ever.. I've never seen the search button be on the left side-home button on right.. but yeah.. button backlighting would be nice.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
Not bad at all. But I'd be wary of the fact that of the 4GB you get 2GB for your actual storage - which isn't terrible by any means I suppose but I personally wouldn't swap 12GB of storage for a better screen. Also, hopefully the capacitive buttons are backlit since the OS looks to be vanilla-like with nary a home/back/menu button in sight...which would make dark room use a proverbial *****. The 32GB model would be the one to buy at the $450 price.
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
Well, so much for eLocitys promise to deliver these A10s to Tiger 3/7/2011!. I checked my pre order again this morning 3/8/2011 and still no joy!. I was really looking forward to my 1st tablet but so far its been a real let down!. Today, I will start looking around for a tablet in the $1000. range that I can get shipped to me without waiting. I wonder if its smart of these companies to announce a new device as well as a delivery date and then don't keep their promise!. My only hope is I will be able to find a good tablet for $1000. or less we will see. I dont want a contract so no wireless plan for me. The specs on the A10 were just what I was looking for. O WELL.........:mad:
[G Tablet General] juxsa:
I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not... But if you are willing to spend that kinda cash on a tablet why dont you just go pick up a Xoom off contract. you can use the code MOTOXOOM (on the motorola store website) and get $100 knocked off so you only pay $700 and its off contract so your not tied to verizon.
[G Tablet General] lostpilot28:
LOL....exactly what I was thinking. $1,000 is a pretty good amount to pay for a tablet. Heck, maybe he should send me his thousand bucks, and I'll send him a Xoom. :D
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
I canceled my order with Tiger and ordered a xoom I hope it is as good as others have said.elocity doesn't seem to sell its products at the announced time. Its too bad as I think I would have liked the A10.
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
In this video you can CLEARLY SEE the buttons DO LIGHT UP>http://multi-screen.info/2011/01/elocity-a10-10-tegra-2-android-tablet-hands-on-de/
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Just heard from J&R that the 4gb version of the A10, which I have on pre-order, has been bumped up to 8gb for the same price. Seems testing may have shown 8gb is the minimum for a decent stock of installed apps and for Honeycomb in future.

Good news, but no frim ship date yet. 'Sometime in the next 10 days..'
[G Tablet General] derek4484:
Yea, I'd drop my Gtab like a bad habit for an IPS screen, and for the same price. I just bought my Gtab last week from amazon.com for $388. I like it for the most part. But the screen is absolute garbage. One of the worst LCD screens I've ever seen. My dad bought a 7" tablet when he was traveling in china for $100 and the screen on it beats the Gtab with no problem. I cant believe Viewsonic would put out a device with such a terrible screen. I've used Viewsonic destop monitors forever and they've always been really good quality.
[G Tablet General] grinch247:
I got a call saying that the a10 was discontinued and replaced with a10-008 and currently on backorder...the woman on the phone told me that the sku # changed but was identical product...hopefully it was upgraded to 8gb vs 4gb ;)
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
It's pretty safe to assume you'll be getting an 8gb model.

In Elocity's original Press Release ( http://www.elocitynow.com/docs/pr_2011_0204.pdf ), there's no mention of an 8gb model. However Elocity's numbering scheme lists the 4gb version as A10.004. So 008 logically would be 8gb. And doubtless the 8gb version sprang to life after testing showed that 4gb was insufficient.

I don't suppose there's a 007 in this mix...
[G Tablet General] knight567:
Today J&R pulled the A10 out of their website and i also go a notification from their customer support that they due to circumstances beyond their control they are unable provide me the stock alert.

i hope that its a mistake and we will see the A10 soon :(
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
I bet it will ship some time in 2012! but by then they will have nuclear powered tablets!. I wonder how long it will take them to disassemble all those 4 GB models and upgrade them to 8GB?.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My guesstimate was EO March or April for the A10 to ship, and I think that's still accurate. Unfortunately, none of this surprises me. :(
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Admittedly, the situation is a bit confusing: while J&R has pulled the A10 from pre-order - at least pending clarity on what model is now coming to us - the other two major players, Tiger Direct and B&H Photo, retain it. Perhaps their webmasters are just not as quick.

However, the bevy of charming ladies at J&R, whose successive emails have kept my spirits afloat, don't strike a fatalistic note. Yesterday, when I wrote back saying I hoped shipping remained on track, "Gracie" responded:

"Thank you for your reply.

We hope to ship it out on time as well. An email notification will be sent when it leaves the warehouse"..

Yes, the ice age could return and she and I might still be hoping, but, on the other hand, J&R are reputable and they haven't so far offered me a cancellation, so someone expects the A10 to show up soon.

BTW, very upset to see Roebeet has defected to the Xoom. My hopes for a spectacular custom A10 rom have been dashed.
[G Tablet General] sharpfork:
Has he "defected" as in sold his gtab or supplemented?
[G Tablet General] scottder:
No, he said he isn't getting rid of his gtab, just pairing back the ROMs he is working on. This is how rumors start people! :)

Scott
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
I just got my new xoom home! I gave up on the invisible A10!. The xoom looks fantastic! I look forward to roebeets advice with this toy! I have a nice donation waiting for his future advice!. I am sure with his help I wont end up with a expencive brick!
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Roebeet's defection is from the cause of the A10, which he rightly suspected would go missing in action. I see that he and Goldsworthy are now curled up with Motorola slabs and, of course, I wish them both joy. Each to his own, but when they've tired of their middling screens, I will torment them with accounts of the A10's resplendent resolution and gorgeous IPS screen...until Roebeet comes back to build us Elocity-Lite.

Meanwhile, as I posted in the A7 forum: "Speaking with the delightful - if understandably guarded - Courteney on Elocity's CSR line, I learned that the switch in A10 models (004 to 008) is indeed about memory. 4gb pre-orders are now bumped up to 8gb. It's confirmed and that can only be good.

Ship dates however remain unconfirmed...

I left my phone number, and their Executive Team will call me sometime to explain if there are any other changes to the model beyond memory."
[G Tablet General] goldsworthy:
No worries!

I am quite sure no one has been abandoned! I will be getting a A10 also that is when the company that makes it gets with the program and ships the thing. There is no law that says you cant own both devices!. Anyway, I am looking forward to messing around with this xoom. It seems to be well put together. First I have to fully root the thing so I got my work ahead of me.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
Well, I decided to see what happened with the A10. Seems it is so far vaporware.

Doesn't seem eLocity is off to a good start. I'm now glad I sold my A7 and doubt I will ever consider another eLocity product, if they ever make one that is.

I may just hold off till next year and see what available in the tablet world then, Tegra 3 maybe... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] protonpower:
Hi, I'm trying to get the HTC Calendar to my phone. I have installed the ROM TastyGingerbread 2.0 but I want the HTC Calendar. I like it. I have tried to push a few from different Custom ROM's (the two I tried was from MaDoCo's and Villan's 12 ROM's) but I always get a force close after Reboot.

Are they not compatible? Is there something from the HTC apk's that I need as well? Help. I like the HTC Calendars because they show the month view on the screen when I add a widget to the Android desktop.

TA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] deadwilder:
you need rom with sense to use htc calendar.

just grab some other sense-like calendar widget from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] protonpower:
OK I see, I just wanted one that displays a whole month on a whole page. Can anyone recommend a free one?

TA
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ian_4614:
I use CALENDAR PAD and it is by far the best one available, I should know, I have tested them all, and its free,, let me know if its what you were looking for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] deadwilder:
http://goo.gl/QT0nl calendar widget, literally ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GZFan:
Simply open the Stock-Android-Calendar app, hit the menu-button and 'Month'.

Done ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] protonpower:
I will try them all and see which one I like. GZfan I wanted a month view on the screen so that I can just select the date and add in a reminder. I know the stock calendar has a month view but it is 4-6 clicks before I can add a reminder as opposed to one click.

I use calendars for reminders and at a glance I can just click the date then add the reminder. I am not interested in seeing what I have for each day like some people want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] timqqq:
Or else Use Home apps - Launcher Pro , It has calendar own built
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] protonpower:
But don't you have to pay for launcher pro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] deadwilder:
exactly, calendar widget is available in paid version only

Hi guys

Well i thought the gorilla glass would have been ok, but i was wrong. Dropped my phone bounced off my foot then hit the floor, not hard, but hard enough and in the right spot to crack the glass all the way across the screen. So im wondering where i can purchase replacement glass for my Vibrant? Any help would be awesome. thanks!

EDIT: just to be clear here, only the glass cracked, not the physical AMOLED screen
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
get this first - http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=46716&cat=5085

[Vibrant General] 4an1:
I Need a new screen to, I bout this phone with a cracked screen for only 140

Were do I get a replacement from?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
There are 2 places I have found that have

Globaldirect.com-- this is in the USA

Alibaba.com-- This site is a site where there are many vendors, it is safe to buy from here but it is in Hong Kong

ONE IMPORTANT POINT, some people on Ebay and other places claim they are selling you OEM, but often it is an LCD screen it works fine but not as good as amoled..... just keep that in mind........

The last one i bought was 85.00 with shipping but that was a while ago so i do not know what prices are right now.

Hope that helps if so say thanks:cool:
[Vibrant General] rdozier52:
when my cracked i got it from repairuniverse.com and it came with the opening tool. the prices have gone up though it was like 149+ shipping and tax

That's what I did.... it was $90 when I got mine, now it's $150. Dunno why.

[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Are you trying to delete a rom file? It doesn't work. Just remove the file from your kitchen.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Yes, I want to delete it, but only afther it's copied to \Extendir\Manila ;) Search for extendir and you'll know what I want to do. But indeed, I fear that it are ROM files... :( Is there another way to get them there in first boot?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
That's why it's a rom file. There's no deleting them. If you could delete rom files, you could totally eff up your device rather easily. The way I move batch groups of files is with zip files. You can load dozens or hundreds of files into a zip file (which is a single, compressed rom file) and have them quickly copied to other locations using a mortscript. It's much faster than a cab install, and doesn't load any of the uninstall crap into the file system/registry/databases. There's really no point in copying one file at a time into the \Extendir directory, as you'll be defeating the purpose of using Extendir, so if you want to use extendir, you'll either have to move the files there with a mortscript/unzip or with a cab file, or just copy them from your sd card to the extendir directory. In the latter case, you could probably just put them in the extendir folder on your sd card and not even worry about it.

Here's an example of an unzipping mortscript:

I have a zip-folder with all the Bing sub-folders in it (\audio and \xaml). The script unzips the files into windows, where the rest of the Bing files and modules are located. In total, 104 files are stored in the zip folder, so I've basically been able to replace 104 rom files that would need to be copied to another directory with 2, which lowers the rom file count by a lot. If you put all your manila files in zip folder, and then unzip it to \extendir\manila, you'll save on the rom file count, which is basically the entire point of using extendir. The unzipping only works if the directory has already been created and also if there are no over-writes required. You could also make the directories by adding these commands to the beginning of the script:
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Okay, I gave this a try, but extracting using a MortScript doesn't work... Or do I need some packages to be able to run a Mscr file?

This is what I have in my Config_AP.txt file

CFG: \WINDOWS\config_end.txt
CFG: \WINDOWS\Madmatt.txt

And in my Madmatt.txt (that will contain all customization made by me):

EXEC: \Windows\ManilaExtendir.mscr

But thats not working with this in my ManilaExtendir.mscr file:

MkDir("\Extendir\")
MkDir("\Extendir\Manila\")
UnZipALL("\Windows\Manila_CFC.zip","\Extendir\")

And another question (maybe I should ask this in Extendir thread): How can I cook the Extendir.dll in my XIP? Because when I use the BuildXIP_Of_MSXIPkernel tool (provided by Alexx~) that crashes. I guess that happens because it's a dll and not S000, S001 and so on. But how can I convert? :)

Thanks for the help you already provided to me! Hope you can help me out with this!
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You've got mortscript cooked in, right? Assuming that you do, just test out the unzipping script on your device, and make sure it works before you cook and flash. Put the zip file in \windows and run the script. It may help to delete the directories first, too. And if you're doing a lot of morscript stuff during customization, you could just dump autorun and config.txt's altogether. I did it a while ago, and am really glad that I did. First boot is much faster without autorun. I just have a shortcut called custom.lnk that I have copied into the startup folder with initflashfiles.dat. It points to a mortscript (custom.mscr) that has a queue of unzips in it that does all of my customization; at the end, it deletes the custom.lnk from startup so it doesn't run every time I reset the device. I also import an xml; I don't use cabs, so don't have to deal with them. This is what it looks like (off-topic, but what the hell):

WriteFile("\Windows\Active sync xml.lnk","1#\Windows\dF_TaskMgr.exe /provxml \WINDOWS\zzz-Active Sync.xml")

#runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipFpseCE.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\Unzipmotweet.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipRescoAudio.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipResco.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipRescoPhoto.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipRescoRadio.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipSchema.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipUCWEB.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\StartMenu.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipTemplates.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\Unzip1.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\UnzipBing.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\Restore.mscr")
runwait("\WINDOWS\cleanup.mscr")

run("\Windows\Refresh.lnk")
run("\Windows\Active sync xml.lnk")

SetFileAttribs("\Windows\Active sync xml.lnk","system",FALSE)
delete("\Windows\Active sync xml.lnk")

SetFileAttribs("\Windows\StartUp\Custom.lnk","system",FALSE)
SetFileAttribs("\Windows\StartUp\Custom.lnk","readonly",FALSE)
delete("\Windows\StartUp\Custom.lnk")

run("\WINDOWS\AEBPlus.exe")
run("\WINDOWS\RKbdInit.exe")

run("\Windows\skbackup.lnk")

I'm not sure what to tell you about building the XIP; I was using EVK when I played around with extendir, and it rebuilt it w/o problem.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks! And how can I check if I have MortScript installed? What packages do I need to cook in?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
If you have to ask, it's not installed, lol. It's not native winmo software. Here's a package; I changed the default icon because I find it annoying. The package is in oem format; you can either convert it to an EXT or probably put it in your OEM directory.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Thanks! I'll take a look for what I can use MortScript too! I like it! :) The only thing that doesn't work is Extendir now... But I'll post that in the Extendir thread. This one can be closed. Thanks Farmer Ted.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Ok, I'll close it. The 0-commands.txt file in the package is a quick list of mortscript commands. I put a 0 on it so that it pops up to the top of the\windows folder and is easy to access. You can delete it if you don't want it. There's also a much more thorought manual in pdf form out there, if you search for it.
