    Post Xoom tablet VS Other tablet discussion

    I keep the data plan on my XOOM because my mom loves it so much. I put that Verizon Messages app on it so she can text from her ancient flip phone. I really miss not having LTE anymore. Sure, I tether my Surface to my Galaxy Nexus but it's not the some. I also had faster data speeds on the XOOM...

    Post Verizon Xoom Jelly Bean Soak Test

    Seriously? I just noticed this thread. OldBlue, how could you leave me hanging like this? My mom said something about an update but I have no way of knowing if it just rebooted on her or what. I'll ask her more detailed questions. I didn't sign up for the soak test but since I was all up in...

    Post Windows 8.1 Preview install on tablet

    I am not sure how your device is setup. I made a recovery USB like the directions advise before installing the preview on my Surface Pro. It seems like Internet Explorer is hanging on more sites than before but it hasn't bothered me enough to reload the recovery from the USB partition.

    Can you run Ingress while using Bluestacks? That would be awesome!

    Post Xoom tablet VS Other tablet discussion

    What is the difference between a tablet and a slate? What can you do in Win 7 that you cant do in 8? Other than press a button in the lower left part that has "Start" printed on it?

    Post Who Owns A Pro?

    I use it everyday. When I am home, I use Synergy to make it another machine connected to my keyboard and mouse. When I don't feel like booting up my desktop, I just plug it into a keyboard, mouse and monitor to keep in touch with everyone and handle things. The way it works with OneNote makes it...

    Post Xoom tablet VS Other tablet discussion

    Tonight I'll be giving my XOOM LTE to my mom. I did make her promise that she would not go past her data allowance downloading porn (I am keeping the data plan for her.) I have been using a Surface Pro 128 and I love it. There are some things on the XOOM that I really miss (like all of the...

    That really sucks. I hope it is just a case of bad luck, I also hope that whatever you replace it with delivers as good of a user experience. Good luck and I hope that never happens to any of us.

    Battery is closer to 4 for me. That awesome screen comes at a price.

    Post Who Owns A Pro?

    When I plugged it in, nothing happened. When I un plugged it, pieces of the port came out with it. The folks at the Microsoft store replaced everything. I now have new Surface and cables and everything works fine.

    Post Who Owns A Pro?

    I've had mine and will be going back to the Microsoft store today. It seems that they sold me a VGA adapter for the RT (I told them repeatedly that I was buying the Pro they even went back to get one. Then the HD cable they gave me destroyed my mini display port. The good news is that the...

    Post Would you buy a used GNex now?

    I would only pay $100 for this phone because I kind of hate it. This VZW version has bad reception compared to the Motorola devices I've used on this network. For the use cases you've mentioned, I would NOT buy a nexus device. They are always behind in power and build quality. The only thing...

    Post Random reboots

    I used to have that happen all the time. I used to think that the phone sucked but my husband never had that happen with his. I compared the apps and wiped my phone, only installed what he had on there. It still happened. I was really beginning to get mad but I wiped it again. I Installed things...
