Panoramic camera is pretty awesome. Like the music settings, more control. Some nice dev features
Changing the right click is real nice too. Also, the google voice input is pretty accurate.
the smoothness and responsiveness improvements

Did anyone find improvements with the WIFI?
everything so far. still figuring and finding out the new features. is there any kind of documentation that lists or explains all the new features that comes with ICS?
Has anyone been able to find the camera unlock feature? I don't think Asus included it in our build. :-(

If you are referring to the camera shortcut on the lockscreen... you just slide left.
I'm digging the new font, Roboto. Looks great and it's used in more places than I knew. Really freshens things up.
To go along with the swipe-to-close notifications, there's not the X to close all notifications at once. That's welcome.
The new Settings panel is much more nicely organized.
The stock browser seems to perform much better, and I like the option to enable desktop mode per site rather than overall. That way I can go with a mobile site where it makes sense but quickly select desktop mode when desired.
Seem to be lots of little (and big) changes like that. I'll be doing a factory reset just to make sure nothing's gumming up the works.

1) General speed of the tablet, night and day compared to HC 2) Wifi better range and speeds on speedtest.net app, actually better range than my Bionic now. 3) Swipe Gestures. 4) Camera updates, crazy good zoom and overall much improved.
Those are the first major differences I saw. Others feel free to post your own observations.
I like nothing. This update didn't fix my WiFi/Bluetooth issue(s) so this device and the dock are going back in the box to be returned to amazon tomorrow. Unless someone on backorder desires to buy it from me for the full price I paid on Amazon .

If you do a little digging through the threads while the max output has changed to 1.6 it isn't scaling any higher than before. So the potential is there but it isn't enabled.

It's way too basic.
No undo/redo.
No automatic cloud backup.
No selection tool.
No thickness setting for the pen.
Unable to create separate notebooks.
Unable to insert text.
Those are just the basics that I found to be missing, but it really lacks so much. S Note is fantastic and came free with our phones. :thumbup:

Downloaded it to check if it could replace my secondary browser I currently use.
One small thing I noticed is, that you cannot have incognito tabs.
There is one bug that is crashing the app, here is how to reproduce it:
Open settings, try to scroll with your beginning touch of the swipe on either one of the ListPickers. App crashed 3 out of 4 times trying.
You should look into setting
Code:
e.Handled =true;
in "Application_UnhandledException" in App.xaml.cs.
This would prevent the app from crashing on minor bugs that the user would not even notice.
I think I encountered the same bug in one of my apps. No way to catch it, since it's caused by the wptoolkit.
(Though you might also want to log these errors to make sure there are no other unhandled exceptions crashing your app, that can be prevented by you)

Seems good so far, but I can't really judge a browser with only a few minutes usage. I'll use it for a few days and get back to you, if I find things that I really like/don't like/are missing compared to other browsers.
One thing I noticed though that would probably cause some bad ratings is, that I could not find a feedback or contact the developer button. That will cause users to give a lower rating when they have to report a problem via reviews/ratings. You will probably still receive some of those but most users with problems will use a feedback button and write you an email when they have a problem if you provide the means. This also gives you the possibility to respond to such questions/problem reports/feature requests.
You will receive feedback from stupid users that are simply to dump to find/use a feature, but this way you can respond and avoid an unneccesary bad rating.
