This is going to be my first tablet and I was wanting to hear from the tablet vets what are the best, must have apps and what are the best practices for ownership?
Do you recommend some brand of shields for the screen?
Best cases for the transformer?
Apps that you install before anything else?
What services did you tie in and are their any tricks to using the? For example I use to use dropbox to sync many system pref between the systems by making symbolic links to the Dropbox dir. (yes, that is a very old and not usually needed trick but you get the idea.)
Are their any cases that allow the tablet to dock w/o removing the tablet from the case.
What do you think of the asus drive privacy terms? I will not use amazons cloud drive w/o encrypting the entire contents due to their privacy clause.
Splash top works well on my wife's iPad was planning to use that, then heard of asus's implementation of splash top or is there better for android? Did some searching on it and found asus is using splash top too, is there any reason to buy splashtop hd? Didn't see any solid answer on that with google.
I think that is enough of my ideas just interested in hearing what everyone has found in their own experences.
I did some searching and all I have found is threads about best app and such looking for alittle more that fotm apps. Though I think my search foo is weak, if this has been posted sorry and would appreciate a link pointing me to the right place.
Ah one more from me any brands of shdc cards I need to avoid?
I ordered a skinomi clear skin /screen protector! This will allow It to dock! I would have gotten carbon but the speaker cutout will look weird! Remember that with any case their will be a square cutout for the speaker!
I'm in the same boat as you this will be be my first tablet!
I think you should have made a separate post for the must have tablet apps!

I think that if I ask about best apps you would need what type of app you are looking at like
What is the best keyboard app?
What is the best rdp app?
Looking for something alittle more general than that. Like:
I need a battery monitor app/widget, I personally use battery monitor widget the pro version is nices as it allows battery tracking.
Best apps change as they new ones come out or old ones get updates, but the role they fill always needs filling.
Thanks for recommendation on the cover! Googling it now.
Also posters if you see someone recommending and app/case and you know of a flaw or problem with said item please tell us your experience and how you have worked around or solved said problems.

Less than a handful can actually comment on experience with this tablet as it's not officially out yet. Less than 5 here have it in possession already. There are reads in prime section of forum that basically covers all your sections. You will want spalshtop HD as it works great with Android tablets. As far as accessories and cases goes, check out the thread called Ultimate transformer Prime accessories thread. Also look into accessories sub forum here. There's a lot of people commenting on various cases that would be good for this device. For apps, that depends on what you looking for. Productivity, entertainment, games, research, etc.. Be more specific. Now with memory cards, there's a few threads here in general section that will answer your questions on that.
I know there is a lot of b.s. Preorder threads to sift thru here in general section. But all the answers you looking for are here. They may be a page or two back in this section. I would post links but there are so many. Good luck on your search
I will start flipping back in the pages to see what I can find. Thanks for the search pointers!
Though I do know only a few here have the device but, I was thinking that for most this would not be their first device and I was not looking for experience with "asus transformer prime" but more general knowledge with a leaning on the prime. I though that most here would be more knowledge able about the spec that the asus prime would have and most tablets have hc on them.
Though you make good points and I thank you for your advice. Going into the sub forums, damn there are a lot of pre order threads almost wish there was a temp sub forum called preorder.
I can't see if find if the asus splash top is splash top had or not anyone know?
This list should keep you busy for a while.

Sorry for my weak search foo
Tablets are pretty fun to use. However, it is rather difficult to bring out a tablet in public as they are quite cumbersome and you look like a pompous asshole with it; trust me. However, the transformer series has the keyboard dock, making you look like a more practical human being.
I used my TF101 in some college classes for note taking. I used Evernote. Worked beautifully. However, I want some faster speed lol.

There was a thread talking about that splash top. I don't think the one included is the HD one. I think it's the regular one. Splash HD is the one you really want though as it has all features unlocked and better for tablets. All I've heard is great things about it though. I have it on my iPad and Atix4g.

What do you mean by cumbersome? Lmao as my iPad is light and very easy to carry around. Now for the pompous comment, I guess some could see it like that. I always get looks n comments like oh look, he has one of those iPad/tablet things. Lol. Like people who have/carry tablets are better than everyone...
Just saw the stylus jot pro it looks like pure sex in the ultimate as stories thread I am ordering one of those.
Thanks for the info on splash top I was hoping that I could use the asus provided on but hd looks good compared to splashtop

90% of what he asked was generic and the Prime's going to run the exact same applications every other HC tablet does exactly the same way (albeit faster). There might be some Teg3 optimized games but, other than that, it's just another tablet from a utilization perspective.
Here's some apps I can't live without:
Plex and Playon for video streaming
With Plex, you can store all your audio and video content on your home PC, NAS, or WHS and play it on your tablet, even over a 3G connection. It does an impressive job of organizing, labeling, and presenting your content and the tablet interface is pretty slick. I have 2TB of video that I stream to my tablet. It does a fantastic job of transcoding so the video quality's great even over sketchy connections.
PlayOn provides access to Hulu, Amazon VOD, and Netflix. It too is excellent at transcoding and actually does a better job in terms of video quality and buffering than the native apps. It's the best way to access Hulu content.
Pulse and News360 for news
Both have great tablet interfaces, sync with their desktop companions to bookmark or save stories, and can be highly personalized.
Zinio, PressReader, and Next Issue for magazines and newspapers
All have great content available and are designed for tablet screens. Next Issue content is free if you already have print subscriptions.
Read it Later for offline web surfing
Great app for finding web stuff to download to your tablet either as you see it or from your desktop PC to read later.
Swiftkey Tablet X & Swype keyboards
Swiftkey is a fantastic keyboard with excellent predicitive word logic and layout. It also has a thumb keyboard setting which is great when you aren't using a physical keyboard.
Swype has a mini-mode which takes up about 1/8 of the screen and is really fast when you're writing longer e-mails or docs.
CoPilot for navigation
Google map caching is hit or miss when you need to deviate and don't have a wireless signal. CoPilot stores all data locally and doesn't require any wireless signal to be fully functional.
TouchDown for e-mail
It's the best e-mail app for contact management and tasks. You almost have to have it if you connect to Exchange. It's got the best widgets of any e-mail program out there.
Worldmate travel companion
If you travel a lot Worldmate stores the details of your future trips on your tablet. As you're traveling it provides alerts for gates and times and any delays or changes to your itinerary. You can check flight status for any airline in real time and look up alternates if you're screwed.
Widgets
There's tons of screen space to fill on a tablet and these are some of the widgets I think are cool looking, useful, or both.
- Google Market
- AP Mobile
- CNBC
- CNN
- Pulse (multiples)
- Touchdown e-mail, calendar, and tasks
- Worldmate (live flight alerts on your home screen)
- Social Hub
- Gallery
- Kobo
- Amazon MP3
Task killers, batter managers, and the like
Tablets are different than phones and they're used differently. Android as an OS manages resources incredibly effectively. While it's a personal choice, adding things that use resources to save resources seems counter intuitive to me and I don't use them.
Half the fun of an Android tablet (vs. iOS) is the ability to make it your own. Enjoy.
Asus already included a big portion of the apps you might need for basic usage.
But here s some apps I use pretty much every day with my transformer, they re almost all optimized for tablet (android 3.0 framework)
Wizz Widget (for social feed)
tTorrent (for downloading)
subloader (for automatic subtitle downloading)
mobo player / bs player (for watching any kind of video)
File manager HD (a file explorer, better than Asus's one)
Newsr (a google reader better than google reader)
Catch note (to take and read note in the cloud, protect by password and synchronised on every device)
Google Current (offline reading of RSS feed with a very nice looking layout)
Beyondpod HD (best podcast apps)
And Adobe Photoshop Touch, Adobe Idea, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Picsay Pro, cause I'm a computer graphist.
Those are the apps I use the most, along which there is some usefull apps like skype, messenger, dropbox, splashtop HD, Facebook and pretty much every google Apps. (chrome to phone, translate, maps, etc etc)
Unless you're a super reckless user, a screen protector isn't going to be necessary (and is sometimes ugly/degrades screen quality). It's really hard to scratch this screen, and other ones like it.

I would reconsider. Newsr is really buggy and slow, crashes a lot and behaves very strange when you start it before WiFi is connected. I didn't find anything better though.
For me most important are also:
- ezPDF - I don't know any better app for PDFs on any system or device (great for taking notes on books or writing answers in exercise books for school).
- Writepad Stylus - for writing (not perfect, but the best I found, if you are buying Adonit Jot, you will find it useful),
The rest for me is mostly games. Cut the Rope is the "must play". Dizzy is the "greatest but probably only appreciated by fans of the original".

I agree. I've had my Galaxy S (Gorilla Glass screen, like the Prime) in my pocket "unprotected" for about 18 months now, and although I was anxious at first, I haven't noticed any scratching of the screen. Screen protectors might have been recommended for resistive touchscreens, but I don't think they're necessary with capacitive touchscreens, because the glass is tough enough already.

Weird, I don't have any problem at all with newsr. Butter smooth, fast feed load, super stable, not a single crash. Sure if you re offline it doesn't login but that's expected from a RSS reader and nothing strange happen, just a message saying that you need an internet connexion.
I wonder why you seem to have problem with it.
One of the main reasons why I got a tablet was for the purpose of carrying one tablet instead of 5+ school books.
While I am still looking for the books I want, I am just wondering if when I get them and by chance highlight them.. if I export them to my computer before loading a rom..
Will it save the highlights and what not?
i don't know if your highlights will still be there if you export the books to a computer but i dont think you really need to. I have used a couple of roms while on gingerbread and all of my annotations survived. even when I upgraded to honeycomb via globatron's method I was happy to see all of my books with all of my annotations. one time I even cleared the data in the reader app and found all of my books deleted and the books that come installed on the flyer back on my tablet (I had deleted them previously). after panicking I rebooted and was happy to see all of my books with the annotations back on my flyer. I am not really clear where they get stored (because I think I even changed SD cards during this time but I am not sure of this) but all I know is if I can't find them I reboot and they reappear automagically lol. maybe they are stored on the internal SD card which doesn't get touched when flashing.
Some of it will depend on what format the books are in. PDFs for example only saved annotations when I explicitly saved the file.

Good point. I was referring to the reader app and EPUBS. But i believe once you save the PDF file after making annotations that there isn't a need to export them to an external computer. I think once they are saved they will be able to be recovered along with the annotations upon reboot just like the EPUBS. In fact I just looked at a book in the PDF format that I annotated before I even rooted the flyer (these annotations had the fat pen issue - which is what made me root the flyer in the first place) and all the annotations are still there. So they survived rooting, placing custom Roms while on gingerbread and then upgrading to Honeycomb via globatron's method. You can always do a test on one PDF and/or one EPUB prior to installing a rom just to be sure.
At the moment I think you are better off with an IPad for school. You pick up ipad1s pretty cheap and soon iPad2s. How I wish there was an iAnnotate app for Android with the pen usage.
In one year Android Tabs have come a long way and I'm loving my view and hardly use my iPad. I doubt I will be upgrading to Ipad3 since android is tabs are getting Sooo much better.

So if you are loving your view, AND there is a means of annotating books with it already, AND you hardly use your IPAD since you got your view, why would you recommend that he get an IPAD?
I currently do not need note taking in PDF so I really do not need the ipad. If I was taking classes, I would be using my Ipad for that.
Who let the iPad guy in here? Maybe we need to review the site security
my only point is that some apps save the notifications when they're made, some require you to same them manually and some will depend on how you initiate them.
If you know what formats you are planning to work with it is easier to get more specific recommendations.
yea what's up with the IPAD guy, jk. one thing i appreciate about the flyer/view forum is that we don't get into "this is better than that" drivel. i was just curious as to why he would recommend the IPAD when the OP was asking about saving his annotations for a device that he already has purchased for a very specific purpose?

I'd rather carry my books than buy an ipad.
So please, if you have nothing to contribute to the conversation in the way of useful information, don't sidetrack the serious conversation with talk of ipad.
I am glad you happen to like your ipad, but I'd sooner not use a tablet than use an ipad. I hate dumbed down software.
back to the issue at hand. are you looking to download books into PDF files or EPUBS? I find the PDF reader keeps the format of the publication - which is better for publications that are heavily illustrated like magazines or brochures. but the epub reader is more efficient for annotating because not only can you highlight or write right on the page but you can even attach notes to what you highlighted. plus you can easily locate and retrieve your annotations as they are kept separately in its own category within each book (highlights, what you wrote, and notes)
Ah. Thanks for the heads up on that. I may play around with both formats.
Any idea if the kindle and nook apps support highlighting and what not? I've considered using them to get at least some of my books.
A positive prime thread. I've had mine for two weeks now and this week was exactly what I bought the prime for. Work sent me off on a week long seminar course.
daytime, I used the prime for notes in the seminar. Running quick office HD was easy. The keyboard was able to cope with my typing speed (80wpm) and inbetween note taking I was checking email and a bit of web browsing during the boring bits of the seminar using my HTC sensation as a wifi hotspot.
Lunchtime involved angry birds, cut the rope, some comic viewing using the ACV app (awesome)
evenings was web browsing, movie playback, more games and some email, facebook use.
It lasted a full day easily, coped with everything like a trouper and was exactly why I wanted one of these things.
awesome
Glad to hear it worked out great for you. Battery life is great on this. Do you use stock keyboard or you bought a 3rd party one or keyboard dock?
I'm glad to see another positive thread about it. Hopefully more threads like these will crop up!
I'll be travelling to Dallas in about 2 and a half weeks so I will see how it works out for me as well
The flight, including layovers, is 9 hours...
Same here. My prime rocks. Not sure about all these negative reviews lately.
Maybe its a bunch of apple fanboys blasting the board to give the tablet a
bad rep... cant wait until we can get a unlocked bootloader and some roms
to really see this thing fly!
Another happy prime user here! I am a medical student and use it all day looking up clinical information and using citrix to access patient information. I couldn't be happier!
We have three people here in our firm who are very happy Prime owners. The other two are first-time Android device owners. Our units came in around the same time and none of us have had any (ANY!) of the negative issues mentioned in these forums. Not one.
Not to say those users are imaging their problems nor am I calling them liars, but these tablets are fantastic. The WiFi is comparable to my Xoom, the AGPS (thought I hardly ever use it for navigation) works fine, the Bluetooth is flawless, there is no screen tearing, etc. I have watched a movie on my train ride this morning and a show (one episode) for lunch and little but of downloading, tinkering and emailing here and there... I still have more than 50% left after 9 hours of on and off usage. I've also switched between modes while I used it.
Though my experience wasn't measured in a scientific manner, it tells me one thing: For my use, this tablet has exceeded my expectations. For what I want, and bought, this tablet for I can do everything I want to and then some. Keep in mind, I'm a long-time happy Xoom owner who is still very, very happy fond of it. My 2-year old son has taken over ownership of my Xoom which was what prompted me to buy a new tablet.
The Prime is THAT much better.
EDIT: I don't use my Prime for play only. I'm in IT working for a law firm. I use Citrix, remote administration, etc. I also do photography using my tablet to display each shot to clients rather than a laptop wirelessly. I didn't mention those because I thought that most Android tablet owners didn't buy their to use them solely as toys unlike iPad owners (lol). I just thought that that was a given. But yeah, my tablets since the Xoom has been corporate workhorses, not toys. I have every Bluetooth device paired to my Prime from headphones, mice and keyboards to PS3 controllers. The Prime is a beast.
Oh, and the other Prime owner in our firm is also IT and the other is an office manager. So I'll leave it to your imaginations what we do with our tablets. Lol.

Or maybe it's just people who haven't been as lucky as you in receiving an issue free device. Glad it works great for you guys. I wish my experience was as positive.
Oh, and wouldn't be caught dead using an iDevice!
As a curiosity about the note taking, I want to know; why QuickOffice? For me, taking notes should be something I would want to access everywhere. So why not use Evernote or similar competitors?
I find that in lectures I take long notes with Evernote, save them, and then I have to use my laptop to program hours later and I find it easier to have Evernote displayed on there.
This thing is awesome. I use it the same way I did with the OG Transformer, except it is so much faster, sleeker, and a hell of a lot better build quality.
have been using prime for over a week and found nth wrong with it other then weak gps signals but the rest are okay.
I noticed a few days ago that my GPS DOES work (I used to think it didn't, I just had to wait a little longer for it to search for satellites). So that made me happy (though i'm always around wifi hotspots and my position can be determined from that, so GPS on my tablet isn't a big deal).
so i'm guessing most if I have the dock...isn't it cumbersome to type, then trap the screen for whatever reason? And what if you need to draw something?
why bring the prime + dock instead of a laptop?
I'm mainly just contemplating in getting a dock...
I'll admit that I haven't searches to much for answers/opinions to my questions, so I apologize i'm advanced...

to clarify the note taking. I type straight into a doc file because when I go back to the office tomorrow, I need to transcribe them into a doc file to distribute to everyone.
the note program may be fine, but I need to know I can copy/paste it into word back in the office later.

Good to hear about your positive experience with office documents. I really need this feature. I had a Prime but had to return it because it was stuck in bootloop.
I'm in college and I need the feature to take notes. However, I like to add the professor's drawings into the document so office documents don't seem to work as well for this. As a way to compensate, I use NoteEverything android app. I can take textual notes, plus make a drawing and resize the drawing to what ever size I want along side my notes. Plus, when I want to review the drawing, I can blow it back up and see it in full size. You can even do multiple drawings in one document.
However, I would love to be able to do this in some kind of office document so that it is transferable. Do you have any suggestions?
You could just use google docs, since it's already a syncing app you can install on your device. You can copy/paste once you get back to a computer. (in chrome at least)
Reasons to get a keyboard dock versus bringing a laptop? Battery life... for one...
In quickoffice, you can save directly to DropBox or GoogleDocs. It's pretty sweet. I like it much better than the included Polaris because of this--though it has less formatting options.

This is my first tablet and it is awesome. I've messed with friends iPad 2's and they are just big iPod touches to me. Really toy like. My work laptop crapped out and I sent it to our IT department for repair (I can fix it myself but I don't mess with our work computers, I get enough of that at home) anyway, I've been using my Prime at work for everything I do on my laptop (i5 quad core) and the Prime did it flawlessly. I wish we would get rid of our laptops now and go with Primes. This is a great device.
Hello. I am planning to get a tablet and I would like to know how good is a 10in screen (1280x800) for reading PDFs. I don't mean 'text only' pdfs but full books/papers with text/graphics/tables like research papers or magazines. Does it require permanent zooming/scrolling or a full page is readable ? Is it worth waiting for tablets with 'full HD' resolution ? I would rather stay on Android with an affordable TF300 than jumping on the dark side (the new iPad for example). It is mainly for an indoor use.
What about something like this paper:
http://graphics.ucsd.edu/courses/rendering/2005/jdewall/tessendorf.pdf
Thanks a lot for any advice.
I checked your pdf document and the rendering is great.
I am using ezpdf document from the market - and the biggest pdf file I have in my tablet right now is 300mb in size and full of pictures (and texts). I am using my tablet to read medical journals/texts full of high res anatomical pictures and graphs - and it works great. As far I am concerned there is no loss of clarity or details.
I think with regards to the new ipad, there is no doubt the resolution is better - but bear in mind ipad has a lot of limitations (look at the discussions in this forum regarding ipad vs prime). Also prime has superips for better contrast and a keyboard dock that will quickly convert it into a "laptop".
I use Camscanner in conjunction with EZPDF for both work and school, and have yet to run into any problems.
Thank you very much guys, I know about all the limitations of the iPad, this one of the reason why I wanted to stay with Android if possible. I currently got a rooted Desire HD and even if it is getting a bit old, I would never change it for an iPhone. I am using EZPDF too on my DHD and it is great but obviously the screen is very small compared to a tablet. I had a Galaxy Tab 7 for a while, but I was quite disappointed as it was more like a big phone than a tablet so I sold it. (Things are probably better now with some of non official ICS roms). It sounds like I will be able to stay on Android I need to think a bit if I go for the TF201 or the TF300. From what I read, even if the TF300 is not as good as the TF201, it is still a good tablet and should be enough for my needs. It seems also a good option to replace my EEEPC 1000H
As a developer, it will be great too to develop Android apps/games especially designed for tablets.
I'm using my Prime at University as a complete book/notebook replacement, I scanned friends books to searchable PDFs, and using no physical books whatsoever
I also got the Amazon Basics stylus for note taking... and I can say it works really awesome.
For PDFs I'm using EzPDF, rendering is fast and no zooming at all required to read comfortably.
I too use ezpdf...can't go wrong with that!

Which PDF Reader do you prefer for this tablet ? Which is the smoothest ? Im using Adobe Reader on my tablet and on my phone (Samsung Galaxy 2) . Im surprised that the same reader is many times faster and smoothest on the phone than on the tablet . How it is possible, the tablet is newer generation and has powerful hardware . Do you have noticed that the pdf readers are not smooth in zooming and fast scrolling ?
I use office suite pro 7

I started using Mantano Reader Lite a while back because I thought there had to be something besides Adobe Reader and it's been working real well for me since.
edit: mostly because it works real well with the epubs I use as well, the others might work better for more important things
Kingsoft office is good... And free too.... Lol

RepliGo Reader. Cool editing and highlighting features.
ezpdf is the best IMO - many many ways to edit the pdf and a good layout :good:
I prefer Repligo Reader, for its easy and clean UI. EzPdf is also quite good.

Best PDF reader hands down is perfect viewer with the PDF add on. Nothing beats its speed. Nothing.
AW: PDF Reader
Not even Radaee Reader?....Hmm...

It depends....
Depends upon what you are doing with the PDF.
If you have a bookmarked PDF and want to manipulate it, EZPDF is one of the best out there; if you're looking to browse and want to jump around from page to page quickly, QuickOffice Pro's PDF reader is better. If you are treating the PDF as a book and just reading it, Aldiko has nice features, too.
I find Kingsoft's features stripped down, pretty good for short PDF's of only a few pages.
I have about 6 different readers and it really depends what I'm doing with the PDF.

I use perfect viewer. it's smooth and you can make the pages fit the screen perfectly. it also doubles as a comic and manga viewer.

Also a great fan of ezpdf, although I also use mantanao reader for books and scientific publications.
