Do you think your list actually means anything?
It's all BS. From this old thread below, Prime was supposed to kix bootie, too. Hindsight says differently, no?
Transformer Prime vs iPad 2
If you want to know the real low-down, find out AFTER you've bought the thing and used it for a couple of weeks. All this geek spec is just fodder for your fixation of Shiny Expensive Objects, and of course for the usual fanboi pillow fights. Lordy, you'd think people would wise up by now.
I think its a good list for people deciding on which tablet to get and exactly what makes them different, my post isn't biased toward either brand its mostly just specs

no you douche it's what i prefer just cause you had a bad experience with a product doesn't mean you can change what other people prefer. You should go whine elsewhere. No its not about the evil apple empire its about how ****ty ios is, its made to be simple for simple people and if that's what you like so be it but coming in and trying to discourage people because you have a different opinion.... now THAT is a typical apple user for you.

I wonder if there's a way to find out who makes the LCD panel for the Prime? That looks like LG's handiwork. They had huge issues with screen bleed on the O2X/G2X and got dropped as a supplier to Apple because of it. Sorry you drew the short straw. At least you'll have it to use until you can exchange it or send it in for repair. GameStop has a 30 day return policy for defects so make sure you get on the list for a second wave unit in January if you're going to exchange it.
It's worse in person. The picture dims it more. I don't want a freebie. If later down the road I sell this I have to knock the price down even more and most probably wont even buy it.

Thanks for the info. I'm on the phone with them now. Man this sucks. I wanted to rub in to my friends face who has an ipad2. Now I cant.
EDIT: I need to talk to a manager tomorrow to see what they can do. No one really has them in stock. Also they said they cant do refund since its what they consider a "system". But i'll what the manager can do tomorrow. Maybe I they add my name to the next batch like you said.
I'm not really surprised the way they had to rush these things out. Just sucks I ended up with a bad one.
damn i feel for u bro. i have light bleed but its only really only noticable on the asus boot screen...
put up a fight, we didnt pay this much and wait this long to have sreen bleed and non-functional gps. good luck to you and i hope u get a perfect one next time (if it even exsists).

I do admit other than the light leakage its built pretty solid. As far my issue, if its anything like any LCD tv there's probably something in there that got stuck between the screen and bezel. Probably easy fix if only I knew how to open it. The build quality is so tight I can't see how the heck they put it together.
You should be able to get a refund.
At least in the UK you would be able to.
If goods are not sold as advertised then auto refund.
If they have display model that does not have screen bleed then it is not sold as advertised.
Good luck.
Thanks to draw something, I'm considering getting this phone. Has anyone played it using the s-pen? If so how is it? I imagine it's super accurate to draw things and makes the game all the more fun.

I'm a horrible sketcher, but with the s pen it makes it so much more precise to direct your lines and fill color.
I drew Bowser yesterday and it came out a lot better than I thought it would. I would have done more, but it was telling me I was running out of ink lol.
I've been playing this game using my S-Pen. The stylus is a godsend for this particular app. Unfortunately, the nanosecond delay in inputs makes it so that my drawings look really cheesy. If I draw something, what I draw doesn't appear instantaneously ... there's always a very slight delay, but that delay caused major issues for accuracy. I don't see any solution to this problem.

yea...that's it, that's why my drawlings suck too, the delay is inhibiting my artistic abilities to drawl stick figures.
Those pictures are epic! I'm jealous of people who can draw.
The stylus action isn't quite as good as a full blown Wacom tablet or a tablet PC with Wacom pen like an older LE1600 (which I have), but it's a lot better than an iPad or iPhone with a mushy capaci-touch type stylus. There's some okay accuracy styli on iOS, just not really pressure sensitive.
My understanding is the S-Pen will be better supported with ICS. As it stands, there's a handful of suitable pressure-friendly paint apps already, more soon I should think. Doodledroid and Hello Color Pencil are two good ones.
Of course, the Note display isn't huge, but I did a few decent drawings on my iPhone with just my finger, so this is a lot better by comparison.
I never got around to trying Draw Something until I got the Note, but now I've got a good addiction going.
I'm kind of torn on some of the images. On one hand, they are spectacular - on the other hand wondering how long it takes to make them. I would love to use the Note & this game to improve my drawing skills (of which I have none of), but I don't want to spend an hour doing a drawing either.
I think the part I like the most is seeing how a drawing is done. There is a screen saved I used to love watching called Drawing Hand (google it) where you watch the artist draw the image using just a basic pen tool and a smudge tool. Always wanted to emulate by learning, but I just don't have the art skill.
Hoping DS will improve my drawing skill some. So far, looks like all my friends are about the same stick figure level that I am.
Is there a sight to see some art done by people, preferably with a way to see them draw it? There a way I'm missing to start a drawing, then come back to finish it later?
BTW - they got bought by zynga (sp) for a rumored 200 million today (!)

Take a look at the following "article" by Pocketlint in the UK comparing the ipad with the prime.
Very funny read......
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/45050/new-ipad-vs-transformer-prime
1ST: NEW IPAD 3G, lighter weight, better video watching
2ND: PRIME no 3G, heavy, great but missing touch of class
LOL they compare the weight of the prime including the keyboard??
I also like the squeezing in of advertising for apple tv.
"The iPad does claim the win here in the video stakes, though. Its video application is just a lot slicker than Android."
Because android doesn't have choice, and they 4:3 screen is just amazing for widescreen movies.
thanks for the funny read.
Even in death, Steve Jobs is still getting the best blow j** from these fanboy sites!! just too funny!!
P.S. I have the utmost respect for Steve, he was a visionary

Actually, I would agree with just about everything they said...from their point of view, that is. There are reasons people buy Ipads, just like there are reasons I prefer an android device like the Prime. I like being able to play any format, and to be able to stream over my network without intermediaries like Itunes and DLNA. They value the simplicity and integration of Itunes and being able to integrate with Apple TV, and they like the added display resolution. I like to have games that look good and run smoothly with a lot of graphical detail, they like a bigger selection and simpler games. I like something heavily customizable, they like simplicity and uniform behavior. I didn't find any of their assertions wrong, just not my point of view.
Comparing the weight of the Prime with the keyboard dock and using that as a negative for the Prime (when by itself it's lighter than the iPad) is a clear sign of bias (or maybe sloppy thinking). If the reviewer wanted to be impartial, he would have tossed in one of the various iPad keyboard dock options and an external battery pack, and included those in the iPad's weight.
I don't consider this an unbiased review by any stretch.
Wow! Lets face it the new iPad, all iPads' for that matter, are the 800lbs gorillas that all other tablets are and will judged buy. They set the standard, for better or worst, simply because they've sold millions of them and people love them. It's fact so don't flame me.
They are not for everyone , me included, and most likely everyone in this forum. But this review was so mismatched that I'm not even going to try and rebut all of it. I will say though if you going to compare products then compare like products.
First I'm pissed my Prime didn't come with the "included keyboard." I thought that cost extra? I'm pretty sure you can buy one for the iPad too. Which one would be easier to throw in the rucksack then? Next is cost. 500$ will buy both of these products and the last I checked you didn't 3G and 32GB of storage for that money on the iPad either. Last point is video. Now I don't know how Apple TV works but I'm pretty sure it's a wireless connection to the iPad to be able to view it on the TV since PL didn't have to "plug it in." Correct me if I'm wrong but could the Prime not do this too? My TV and Windows 7 PCs all have DNLA built in and to this day have of yet to plug any of my Android devices into a PC to get content on or off them or watch stuff on my TV. Samba Fileshare lets all of my Android devices be part of my home network wirelessly. But you know the best part for me? I don't have to install and use that God forshaken **** software iTunes!

Wow looks like yanks like GernBlanston are brainwashed too
It was such a fair review that I had to put my two penny's worth in!!
"The iPad’s extra display resolution does come into play during email. Text is far, far easier to read..."
This was one of the main things that stuck out to me.
Does text look sharper on the iPad? Sure, i'll give you that considering the higher resolution, but I definitely wouldn't say it is "far, far easier to read". I have used both devices and can attest that text and images do look slightly better on the iPad, but the article makes it sound like the iPad display is a gift from God and that the Prime's display doesn't even compare, which is totally inaccurate.
I also didn't agree with comparing the weight of the iPad to the weight of the Prime with the dock. They are so full of it anyways as they claim the weight of the keyboard dock could be the straw the breaks the camel's back when it comes to rucksack weight. If there really is that big of a problem with the weight (which is BS to begin with)... guess what? The keyboard dock comes off!

That's a true display (pun intended) of how Apple can market something and people will consider it amazing in every way.
It's as if people sat around before the iPad3 squinting at the screen and considered reading email an unusable feature on any tablet. As if anyone who looked at their iPad2 said, "You know, if you doubled the pixel density it would make the experience of reading this email so much better!"
Keep in mind the Primes density is 150, the iPad2 is 136 and the 3rd gen iPad is 264.

Yes, we Prime owners are such brainwashed apple fanatics. Whenever I like a device, I run out and buy the competing product. Sorry I suggested that apple might have some attraction for some folks other than me, it must have really hurt your feelings and called for some sort of retaliation.
Seriously, all I did was suggest that Apple had some appealing features...features that I explained didn't win me over due to the Prime's advantages in several areas...and out come the pitchforks. Of course I'm the one who's brainwashed....

Yeah, or when he talks about the ease of sync'ing music and doesn't mention Google Music (or whatever it's called this week) at all.
Nor does he mention how much widgets and 3rd party launchers can customize your user "experience" with the Prime. Methinks the author is an Apple user by preference and doesn't have a clue what advantages Android can bring.
Sorry to get your hopes up by the title, but I have not built this. It's merely an idea I had. I'm picturing the tablet on the front of a small custom-built case, with a small power supply, water-cooled CPU/GPU/memory, overclocked to hell, full-sized wireless keyboard and mouse, maybe a little tube amp built-in, and a USB/SD card reader hub built into the side. Who wants to sacrifice their tablet in the name of awesomeness? :fingers-crossed:
Any other ideas or Photoshop renderings are welcome!

In all seriousness... the N10 is supposed to be a portable device. The mods your describing simply dont belong in a portable device. Blow your money on a really nice desktop computer and put the Android emulator from the SDK on it if you really want something like this.
Is it similar to a desktop computer? Yes
Is it practical? No
Is it portable? No
Would it still be pretty awesome? Yes:good:
Got a nice computer already, built it myself (not from scratch). My degree is in electrical engineering so I still would like to see someone build this. Sorry to blow your minds with such a ridiculous concept.
I think it would be more practical and doable , to make a case with a build in cooling fan in the back where it would help to keep the nexus 10 from thermal throttling, and power it thru the micro USB.

Looks to me like a phase change cooling system, which *can* be used for normal running but is not really practical or the safest thing to do. It is supposed to be for benchmark runs but is kinda pointless now days since anyone doing extreme benchmarking has an easier time going the LN2 route and anyone going for a world record is pretty much always sponsored by a company and given liquid helium
I think this idea for a large and bulky custom cooling solution is completely pointless on this tablet. I am all for extreme overclocking and was a world record holder myself at one time (in PC's, not Android stuff). However the problem is that even with an extreme water cooling setup these processors probably wont do very well overclocking and at best would hit *MAYBE* 2.5GHz tops. The processors architecture needs to be more refined before we will see any decent headroom on these things. Right now the final products just have far too much of a range of quality, which shows that there are problems needing to be sorted out in the architecture and process node. And even if you managed to get this thing cooled really well, I suspect (as others do too) that part of the issue with the throttling is not just temperature but also TDP limit being upheld. So you would have to hack the firmware to remove this limiting so that both the CPU and GPU could run at their full speed properly. It would be interesting to see done but would take far too much work to do and also cost a lot of money. Reasonably I could see the case and cooling setup costing 2x what the entire tablet cost.

It's not helium, it's nitrogen.
The N10 is big enough as it is and that image of the PC is actually kinda meh.
Reason:
ZALMAN HDD cooler - OLD.
8000 card - OLD
Prolly a E8k/Q9k prolly so it's also old.

The WRT54GS is the dead giveaway of how old that photo is.
yea I see that modem, has anyone watercooled a portable device?, it would be silly, I was thinking use the screen for a netbook with intel 3000, it would be cheaper than buying a mac retina
http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/08/hisense-x1-smartphone/
Who in their right mind would buy a phone over about 5.5 in, any bigger and you look like a twat with it to tour ear
You know, I'd love the bigger screen, and those specs make it rival the Z Ultra. It's appearance also seems nice, though I've never heard of Hisense, so I have no clue about their build quality.
But... It's coming out in the Summer with those specs. What would roughly be a full year after the Z Ultra. By that point I'm hoping we either have or are hearing about (Depending on if we have a new chipset out that makes it worth the upgrade) a Z Ultra Refresh. Plus, the bezels on that thing look worse than the Z Ultra's- If people are complaining about those bezels now, this won't be drawing any support.
All that, and we haven't been told how big the screen is, which is arguably the sole draw of the Z Ultra.
Basically, unless it's hella cheap or is basically a nerd phone's dream (Something like 64GB internal storage AND an micro SD card slot) with a couple of other bells and whistles, I don't see this being a competition for the Z Ultra when it gets released.
Looked quite nice until I saw some of the images showing quite a gap between the plastic top (looks like aluminium) and the glass.
Then continuing to view the other images it looks like an old phone. Not that its worn, but that its dated. Like it should have been released last year.
Im still banking on the Z2 Ultra. Hoping it will have the issues ironed out. Namely the build, and components improved.
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Hisense is just one of dump Chinese phone producers in China. Their phones have bad quality and services. The phone comes with Android 4.2, maybe you won't get update to 4.4 for rest of your life. Since the user group is small, there is rarely custom roms and do not even think of CM.
Who? Those that want screens bigger than 5.5 and are secure enough not to give a f**k what other people think when talking on them.

Who? Those that want screens bigger than 5.5 and are secure enough not to give a f**k if other people think they're a twat when talking on them.

Considering the board, he might just be saying that in jest.

Wasn't aware of that if it's truly the Hisense product history.
The device will be released by Sliver in the US and with 4.4 according to reps at CES.
Hardest thing would be leaving this hardware...which is the classiest thing in the industry.
And I agree...banking on the Ultra2 can't be a bad strategy. Wonder about overall sales tho, given the small niche this size device serves, and if it'd prompt Sony to even release an Ultra2.
QUOTE=jackie099;50254211]DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Hisense is just one of dump Chinese phone producers in China. Their phones have bad quality and services. The phone comes with Android 4.2, maybe you won't get update to 4.4 for rest of your life. Since the user group is small, there is rarely custom roms and do not even think of CM.[/QUOTE]
I really don't mind big phones that's why I bought the ultra. but if this phone do not offers nothing better then the ultra but a bigger screen.... no I don't think so. but if it offers good specs then i'll see.
