I start with the only apparent defect: I am not come to see any satellite with GPS.
I look forward to the update OTA promised in France since January 21, 2012 that is supposed to fix the GPS among other problems.
Visually, I have the version of anthracite (dark gray to purple hues), brush metal style, very nice look. It is very fine, very well finished, she has a little as a mac-book-air. A bit heavy with the keyboard (1,2Kg), you end up having sore thumb if we hold a hand. The keyboard and the tablet cling and easily drop out with a good finish, I find that they have improves compared to the first Tf.
The screen is very shiny, nice brightness and contrast of hell.
Apart from that, the only player who happens to decode full HD MKV DTS with its high profile is Diceplayer and it's really nickel. Picture perfect, zero slowdown.
With it came a VPlayer decode the sound but jerky image.
All other players decode the image perfectly but no sound if DTS, AC3 AC passes against.
At his, there's still only one speaker right side, ca means, this is a shame. Not trying to connect headphones for now.
I spent 1 hour by Honeycomb before she offers me a update to enter IceCreamSandwitch 4.0.3. It's cool I just had time to see the difference. Indeed browser faster to open the pages, much better fluids scrolls. The movements of icons I can not tell if they are more fluid because many animations have changed between the 2. Gender y'avait or a scroll with the icons that come out and new returnees, now there ' a fade out and new icons arrive very quickly at once. Perhaps a way to hide the little jerks.
As a rule ICS is more sober than HC. Simple animations, smaller buttons, it makes more serious, less fun but more responsive.
I bought Riptide (jet skiing game). It is brand, super fluid, beautiful graphics effects splashes of light reflections etc 'and is friendly enough to play.
I tested Glowball is nice to make a PhysX demo but it really is pointless :-)
I tested that Splashtop is free with myCloud. I could check the remote PC is not bad at all, it's fun to control the PC touch screen. I start a film reading distance is a saccade hair anyway, the sound is nickel against ... I still have tests to run Battlefield 3 ;-)
As against the max resolution is 720p (I have not purchased the HD version for now), so he shrinke the screen of the PC to be like on the tablet.
The keyboard is nice and convenient but sometimes I lose characters when I type a little faster. Especially the space bar, I feel that we must support the well bottom has buttons that it works well, or it is because it is still "running" ;-) Add a ca the layout of the keys is a little different from a laptop keyboard and I drool a little anyway, but hey it's still better than the touch screen to type text. The trackpad is not used much on the keyboard, it's still faster to touch the screen.
An indirect advantage of the keyboard is that it holds the right shelf and weighted automatically practice in the bed to place it on the belly :-)
I consumed the battery a little faster I think. The same evening or the day I recue and loaded a block I had completely empty battery keyboard and emptied half that of the tablet. Battery management is well done indeed I find that it takes on the keyboard first before the tablet. Well I must say that it was heavy use, downloads everything goes well-intensive games, HD video playback, download the update that has taken 5 minutes and worst of all, USB hard drive power for more than 20 minutes to copy movies, music and photos.
USB copies are a bit slow I found elsewhere. It remains of USB 2.0 but not at the bottom, unable to see bandwidth.
I get to read a bandwidth of 15Mbps HD movie from USB anyway.
She not heat at all even in full or download HD movie playback.
Apps Word / Excel like are not bad. I have not been able to test if they are really compatible with Microsoft by cons. The Excel équivallent is a bit hard to take in hand I think.
The basic mailer is not bad, with its handy widget. The gmail app also works very well with nofications new mails.
Last, I bought a small capacitive stylus, I am quite a fan. In addition it has a small cord and a plastic plug that can plug into the headphone jack is handy for hanging. It glides better than a finger on the screen, it is more precise and it avoids the tracks.
And finally, the gestionaire files and patches are pure bliss of freedom relative to the products of the "apple".
Plugs into a computer can copy what we want or we want.
Conclusion: A little expensive but a real treat.
