Don't buy this very overpriced tablet.
1: I experinced random app crashes, this was due to a graphics driver bug, so i upgraded to jelly bean, not I get random reboots.
2: Browser is rubbish, is advertised as supporting flash, you have to do this manually and the HTML5 support in the browese is crap.
3: only has 1GB of ram and on startup about 700mb of that is used
4: Keeps killing off background apps etc... even though there is memory free, my puney wildfire phone doesn't even do it to that extent. This causes performance issues and annoying data loss and happens even if I root and use mount 1gb swap space.
5: Umm... how do I print stuff... opps, though that's an android issue.
6: Some idiot made the screen resolution 1920x1200 not x1080 which means that it doesn't scale up to full HD properly, doh.
7: Camera is a bit crap
8: I developed a mysterious screen crack, upon searching on the interent this appeas to be a common fault and not user damage, though good luck with the warenty department.
9: I have a dock/keyboard, the tablet keeps popping out of it which is really annoying
10: Video play back sometimes 'stutters', happens a few times if say watching a 1hr 30min movie.

on the pluss side if you have ICS installed and don't upgrade to jelly bean it's a doddle to root, allyou have to do is turn debug mode on and copy accross su, no need to unlock the boot loader etc....

Hence, my tab never down on me. Playing THD hardcore gaming without issued. This is Asus not Samsung or Acer. Asus made for quality.....

Reading comments complaining, and I am puzzled: do you really have the same tablet I do? I have mine since September and never had any problem: works fast, gives great support for videos and games and the browsers work pretty well (the only problem is that Dolphin doesn't support Flash anymore, but this is a problem with Dolphin, not with Asus).

And about the absence of native 3G, is not an issue: I just tether (this is: "to borrow the 3G via wifi") from my smartphone to my tablet. Works perfectly, and pretty fast, if you ask me. If you have a smartphone running Android 2.2 or above, you probably can tether too

Of course, the ideal is to get the version with dock, as the USB is in it. But, also, I don't think is absolutely necessary (the card reader does the job, if only for storage. And usually Android USB slots are more for this, not much to connect peripherals, so...)

I am absolutely satisfied with my tablet, and advise anyone felling sorry for the 3G absence to learn to tether.

I have data with my phone, I will literally never be out with my tablet but not my phone. My phone battery would last longer than the tablets battery and the keyboard dock has a USB port on it so would never go flat before the tablet.

Why would I want a second data service? Especially as having my tablet tethered to my phone's WiFi hotspot has a whole host of advantages anyway (Such as all the DLNA stuff).

> In reply to kulty @ 2012-02-29 18:29 from mH{U - click to readWithout 3G you have to use the tablet where there is a wifi spot. An analogy is being forced to used a mobile phone only when inside a building with a fixed line - whats the point?

A tablet without 3G is a waste. And why should I buy a phone to use as a wifi connection in addition to a tablet? Phones have small screens - wifi is wasted on them. Tablets sit between phones and laptops and SHOULD the connection options of BOTH

You have to buy a router dude. they are not that expensive. they have them at best buy for like 40 bucks that would be plenty for your tablet.

had my asus about a month now. im very dissapointed with it the browser is very slow . facebook is a joke on it, it freezes and stops you commenting. the pages flicker and dim on there own. i also have an ipad 2. which is much faster and better at browsing. i hate apple but if this is the best android tablet, no wonder apple sells more. hope the jellybean update fixes the terrible browser experience.
