I recently tried on my G2x Bejeweled blitz using flash and its super slow. Same with my buddy's transformer. Can anyone try it on thiers and see if its fast enough?
Can't wait for my TP to come!

Playable, but lag is there. Tried on both stock and dolphin browsers.

I was really hoping for it to be smooth as butter but maybe its because of android or flash for mobile needs more work.
So far guys in my honest review of prime vs moms ipad 2 is it doesn't stack up that well. Besides the gps issue which ipad doesn't have are these flaws.
1. Cannot copy and paste from web browser to gmail.
2. Lags very badly when typing in browser and other operations.
3. Stopping running programs is very slow.
Keep in mind I love android I have a Motorola ATRIX. That actually performs better than my tablet. I am able to use my phone quicker and easier than my tablet.

Not being able to copy n paste from browser to gmail is user error. Come on man..lmao that's simple stuff. It works as I've done it on several occasions. For the typing issues in browser or lag, really depends what site you on. I get no lag what so ever from typing. Maybe change your keyboard.
Come back when you tell us some real performance comparisons. I have an Ipad and Atrix 4g. They are no contest compared to the Prime. NEXT! Lol

There's nothing wrong with an honest review! But you must be doing something wrong with copy and paste, or you have a freak tablet. Just tried copying from stock browser to gmail, works great. Absolutely no lag in typing in the stock browser, but I am using the Swype keyboard.
Copy and paste should work
Use a third part browser
Honest reviews are good just give it more time it will grow on you

Exact same with my SGS2. Prime's hardware is much better than iPad 2's (and it's normal since it came out almost a year after), but software is definitely buggy. A lot of lags and freezes is kind of ruining the experience, but I believe Asus will work on that fast enough, especially seeing how popular the device is.
Your 2 cents are invalid.
I just copied and pasted into gmail from my browser, I haven't had any lag or freezing, and I am using opera mobile. Perfirmance is good here.

What exactly do you mean by stopping running programs is "slow"??

I'm not sure if meant that when you click the multitask button, pressing X for each of the apps is slow or completely unresponsive. At least this is the case for me. I have a lot of problems getting the screen to react in certain areas while others work fine. Pressing the power button then unlocking again solves this, so it's a software issue. Not sure if others are experiencing this too.
I use swiftkey keyboard and opera mobile browser and it's pretty smooth and fast. Also copy and paste works for me as well. As for the 3rd issue, I have no clue what you mean. The beauty of android is you can change stuff you don't like to make it better for YOU, the operator of the device.

I've found that hitting the "x" twice in a row deletes that app right away. Same thing in opera browser. When i want to close out a tab/window, I hit the "x" twice to close that tab/window.
There are plenty of things to complain about with the Prime, but your complaints are silly.
1) Copy and paste works fine.
2) The browser is great once you make the necessary tweaks in the debug menu. There's a thread on it. Granted, Asus screwed up by not having the default settings correct, but a little searching would lead you in the right direction.
3) No idea what you're talking about with prpgrams ending slowly.

I'm pretty sure the Ipad 2 doesn't have GPS either unless you get the 3g version. So comparing that to the asus prime is in a way apples to oranges. That being said, I think the GPS debacle is just bad PR for asus' nearly untarnished reputation.

First i put the gps issue asside. 2nd apple works out of box without tweaks. I handed to my mom and she was off and running. Copy and paste do not work in default browser to gmail. It will work if i stay in browser but when i leave to go to gmail it did not work. I also tried dolphin browser. Closing running apps was slow as molasses after using system for a while. A reboot was just required to install tapatalk from market. All other internet activities worked at the time. It is definately buggy compared to ipad. I had high hopes and i still am hoping ics on this pad fixes these shortcomings.

every morning after charging my prime overnight I lose all my open tabs in opera browser anyone have a guess as to why? Prime is def. not rebooting or anything Uptime still going.
The closing of tabs randomly in the background is an opera issue. It used to happen all the time on my Nexus S.

Yup. This used to drive me crazy on my Nexus S.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, and the browser is amazing. It really is great. So just hang in there for a few more days.
Also, there's a thread floating around w/ tweaks to make to the current browser in Honeycomb. The tweaks made my browser fly on my Prime. No more lags when scrolling, pinching or zooming. You should definitely check it out (sorry I don't have the link at the moment).
Its pretty sweet if you ask me. Might even become my daily browser. There are various bugs considering its a beta
Amaze 4G ENERGY ICS
I started using it and ditched it cuz it was so buggy and lacked customization. I couldn't even change the settings I wanted to. Switched back to Dolphin HD.
I been u sing it as my default browser on my galaxy note and transformer tablet for about a month now.
Was using opera mobile as default for months and it was awesome. But Chrome has quickly become my favorite android browser now...its very smooth and works really well. Not to mention very fast as well. It works good on a big enough screen but on smaller screen like my nexus s I still prefer opera for some reason.
Anyway. Yeah considering its still classed as beta it is an excellent browser.

Tried it, ditched it. File size too rich for my blood. Maybe in the future

its pretty sleek!
I recently got my tablet back from RMA (broken camera) and as I was updating the many apps I had when I got it back, I decided to get rid of Chrome. I would normally assume a placebo effect here but the tablet is indeed behaving better. Before unistalling, I had gotten into the habit of waking up the tablet and waiting a minute or so for it to settle...now, it's up and running immediately and no lag anywhere.
So...maybe my experience is a unique one but I thought I'd share nonetheless...
I just deleted Chrome after reading your post just for kicks while in class not really expecting it to do much. To my amazement my tablet was immediately faster, noticeably so to the point where I am kicking myself that I didn't know this sooner. Now my only complaint is that I really like the Chrome browser and liked having everything sync up.
