Mine is shipped too at 11:30 pm 30.09.15 German Time

Mine arrives today!

anyone who already got it can confirm if Spotify has native support? mine already shipped but doesnt arrive until next week

No sign here in Japan yet...

My 2 chromecasts just came in.

Got mine, but isn't the CE logo printed incorrectly on the Chromecast? On the box it looks right, but it's not right on the device. THe letters are too close together.

Yes, that does indeed look like "China Export"..
In case someone doesn't know this about this, here's Conformité Européenne Wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking
At the bottom of the page is some info regarding it's misuse along, among other things "China Export".
Here's the difference.

I'm pretty sure it says made in china right on it.

Of course it says, so did the original CC. Or actually the original said "assembled in" where as the 2nd gen says "made in".
But that's not the point, the "CE" mark on it is not the CE mark.
I took a look at my original Chromecast and it uses the proper CE mark which indicates it complies with EU legislation.
If you can't comprehend why that matters, I'd suggest looking at the meaning of it.

Honestly, it's not really of any interest to me. I was just pointing out something that wasn't stated in the thread (unless I overlooked it?). Has nothing to do with my ability to comprehend something...

Mine just arrived today, there's an update to begin with, spotify works fine

can anyone confirm if the ac is connecting 1x1 or 2x2. i heard it was 2 antenna . also 3rd smart antenna. The max bit rate if ac router is connecting .

Mine's connected at 433Mbps if that's any help.

That's 1x1 on 80Mhz channel. Pretty much what I would expect given the info.
Youtube - "Google - September Press Event 2015" < Goes to 54m00s
We designed an entirely new, adaptive antenna system. Which includes: three very efficient antennas, and an algorithm that ensures that the WiFi chip is always using the best antenna and radio frequency for the changing WiFi conditions in the home.

Are there two versions of SGS2?

Please find pictures of two SGS2. Left one is from "Meteor Ireland", right one is "Vodafone Ireland". As you can see screen of left one is much better ( more white ), right one is blueish. Touch keys lights are darker on the right one. Are there two versions of SGS2?

Most likely it's related to the country where they have been made. People from my country reported some of the devices made in China have a purple tint, while devices made in Korea are pretty much ok. Here's a photo showing both phones:
on my picture, right (bad) one has note "made by Samsung in Korea" and the left one "made by Samsung" only.

Then i guess it's just random and they let too many flawed devices get out of the factories

This rumor is quite old. No one's seen a tegra 2 yet and i seriously doubt they will in the future.

I'm with Meteor on PAYG i went to get the GS2 on a 12 month contract but they were looking for a €300 deposit so i told them where to go and bought it outright unbranded and unlocked, i didn't think there would be any difference to be honest if anything given Vodafone are more expensive you'd expect them to have the phone direct from Samsung.

Galaxy WiFi 5.0 "Book Cover" Case

Hello all,
I have been looking for a decent case for my Galaxy Wifi 5.0 for some time and think I have finally found what I am looking for:

The part number is YA-C1C7 but from my searches, it is only available in the Czech Republic, i.e http://www.soeasy.cz//produkt/samsung-diarove-pouzdro-book-cover-SG00875.html (and from what I can tell, they do not ship outside that country.) Does anyone know if it's possible to get the case from somewhere else that ships to either the UK, US, or Canada? I saw it on B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&A=ShowProduct&Q=&sku=828797&is=REG) but it is only available for Pre-Order with no idea of when they can ship.
Thanks for your help.

Not exactly...
IMPORTANT: This item is marked SPECIAL ORDER. Please be aware that special order items can take as long as 3 to 4 weeks to be delivered.
They don't have it in stock
Have a look on play if your still struggling, i ordered the pd pair one for it, it fits really well and looks nice, check it out
I also order from Pdair it took 2 weeks to rec'vd I order mines in Pink. I really like this one instead to the Outfitter one I brought from Best Buy.
Ordered mine from german Amazon Store click
Thats the YA-C1C7N, don't know if there's a difference but nevertheless I can say that this case is f*cking awesome
In the end, I had a Czech flatmate pick one up for me on a trip home. It's perfect.

I want this case!!! Samsung micro website for the player used to show a white version of this as well... I would love to have have either one of these but here in the US, I can only find the PDAir cases or some cheap rubber cases... I want a proper book case! DAMN!!! So jealous for you guys who have easy access to this...
Yesterday, i've seen it at amazon.de...

$90 Touchpads In Stock??!

Is this legit? http://bijou-electronics.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29876
I have 2 pending orders right now just curious if you could tell how legit this is. It doesnt seem like a scam but let me know ASAP B4 i check out! Thanks
considering the typos and out and out wrong specs listed, i'm calling BS.
it doesn't have a 1.2 hertz proc(they meant GHz)...there's no modem (only wifi)
as far as the special feature being that HP no longer makes them...yeah....BS
Scam. They only accept moneypak for payment. Moneypak is the same as sending money orders. You can kiss your cash goodbye and you will have no recourse.
Plus no company info:
http://bijou-electronics.com/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=3
And the BBB image should link you to the BBB web site, which it doesn't.
Thanks guys, I thought it was fishy. Just thought Id ask to make sure.

I see a few things that don't add up, that lead me to believe its all crap...
1: On their BBB "links" nothing is linked its just a picture.
2: It says in the same pic that they have godaddy as a host. Doing a simple whois search shows:

Great observations everyone! I wonder if anyone has tried calling the 1-800 #
Don't tip him off no matter how tempting it is to harass him.
Let the FBI do their jobs and nail this scumbag!
I dont think the fbi really cares about small stuff like this, and just because we posted about it doesnt mean they are going to attack them right away.

Actually, doing what he's doing is basically what used to be called "wire fraud" and is definitely their jurisdiction. They have a whole department dedicated to internet scammers.

And a url to the screenshot because it is not working...
I am from the Netherlands and people from all over the world have reported that they can order, so i personally think its a big thumbs up for Asus.
For the people who are trying to register their Prime, but are unable because their Serial is wrong, i suggest you switch the O with n 0 vice versa.
And for people who just registered and cannot see the URL in the left Sidebar for the Extension Kit, i suggest you relog on to the Asus Vip Site.
NOTE The offer will expire on 31th of July, 2012 (PST).
For those interested in the Dongle specification sheet.

Just FYI, I had to log out and back in to see the new menu option appear on the left.
Yeah! I just sent out the application too. I am in Taiwan (where's the mother land of Asus company). They pretty much set up every OTA update or any applications first here. Kind of flattered.
Thanks mate !
Lets see how long it's gonna take to deliver the device to Australia
Long time Lurker first post
Applied
I'm in US. Menu option is there.
I see application but when I try submit all I keep getting is "sorry server too busy"
will try again later
Just submitted my dongle request too. Smooth process.

I can't even register my prime since it won't accept my serial number. No reply from ASUS Support Mail so far since weeks :/
just saw that, sent in my application. i find it interesting that its only open till end of July. im guessing that means they are planning on including the dongle in the new primes in future.
Ive seen the pics of it, looks quite nice but shame you cant plug in a charger whilst using it..

Dell 7840 - Dell Chat News - Android M (sorta) announced, Active Stylus working

Hey there,
all other threads appeared like some kida rumors or questions, now here is some proper Dell-evidence to rely on.
a) Android M is coming to the Dell 7840. Hurray.

Good news, if you ask me.
However, if you purchase the 750-AAHC, do make sure that you can return it for a refund. The 750-AAHC would not work or respond at all with my Dell Venue 8 7840 tablet. Works with a bog-standard capacitive stylus.

I purchased a 750-AAHC and it works perfectly. Notice that appropriate software is needed such as Squid. It really actually works, palm rejection works, there are no interferences of any kind.

Thanks for that - didn't realise anything else was needed. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, I managed to return mine for a refund.
Somebody else told me operability depends upon the revision of 750-AAHC that you get, but I had no way to verify this. I think my packaging said A00, but can't check now.

That is good news but i just chatted with a dell agent and he said he had no idea about it
Good to know, I love my 7840 regardless....best tablet I've ever owned. I'll probably buy another one if another Dell refurb deal comes along.
I still had hopes back then...
