one thing might try is a group effort of hitting their twitter with requests for security patches.

I dont get why they are so quick to throw the device under the bus so to speak, its one of best tablets out there.

According to tech support m3 won't receive Oreo.

Well you have like 4 gigs set aside for apps and appears to be plenty, my tablet is loaded with numerous apps and havent had a problem. If you plan on storing alot of music and movies (books dont take up much) then may as well go for the 32gig if you have the $ and then you can always buy an...

Yeah Ill echo the comments here, battery life is absolutely superb and the responsiveness of the unit for the price is fantastic. Sadly its a case of if only B&N....to fully realize what the tablet would be capable of.

Find that hard to believe, I mean wasnt some shop in UK offering a free LCD Tv with purchase of S Tablet on release? That alone would have broken 500 sales. http://onlygizmos.com/sony-uk-managed-to-sell-only-500-android-tablets-in-over-a-month/2011/11/ that is the link btw there is no source...

Mine broke and was looking for a replacement, something smaller, better screen (Xoom always had a washed out look to me) and S tablet fit the bill. And yeah I dont get any complaints about Youtube, it works perfectly. My only wish for the app was if you rotate the device it kept playing the...

Very good browsing experience though Id recommend using Opera over the stock. Stock keyboard is a bit laggy, Ive switched to split keyboard app since that was my preference on previous tablets anyway but yeah can always go the bluetooth route. The display is top notch, its bright but not...

Depends entirely on what you plan to do. Both are top notch tablets, both are great for media consumption. The biggest advantage for Ipad is obviously sheer volume of apps, the biggest S Tabl advantage is the remote control and Playstation ability. Biggest negative for Ipad is no ability to...

Well S tab didnt face Ipad 2 the ASUS did and that was probably a show of force by android users vs apple :)

Hehe at this rate going to be enough money in the pot for someone to buy a tablet :)

Not at all in fact I think the screen is near perfect in size for a tablet. My preference for screen has been Ipad's "square" type screen and Sony's smaller screen vs 10.1. I imagine Samsung's 8.9 would be similar too. You can use whatever launcher you like.

Er yeah its suppose to be smaller than 10.1 :) Its advertised as a 9.4 screen and yeah you can use other launchers and uninstall most of the apps that arent system related.

Ill go for 20 as well.

Imo if want an android tablet, Sony is the way to go...it isnt perfect and sony has some fixes that are necessary as well as some annoyances (sony reader opening in landscape and not being able to use portrait mode until you actually open a book) but it is the best choice.

yah it does. I dont use voice recognition but that might change with ICS.

the tablet is to new not to do it plus tegra 3 is just a beefier verison of tegra 2

Absolutely no reason we wont get it since all sony phones from 2011 will get it...just a matter of when.

Question is now How long before we get ICS :) Watched the Google/Samsung presentation and there is alot to like about the Android 4.0 changes. The drag and drop folders, the flipping away email, notifications, chats, apps you are done with, the people app and the improved voice to text are my...

You got approx 4 gigs of space to install apps on and 8 gigs for any that can install on an sdcard on 16 gig Sony S.

Probably be a hell of alot easier if it did it all the time heh. As it is now its a bit of a crap shoot. Had my tablet off now since last night 4am, it was at 84% turned it on and it was 80%. So this was a "good" battery run.

The specs for S tab along with the battery type in it should last but for some reason it is inconsident. Ive had days where Ive turned it off at 90% and turned it back on later in the day at 89% and somedays its gotten as low as 60%...for no apparent reason. So something is odd.

Havent tried it but I imagine any cleaner meant for lcd screens, camera lenses etc would be fine on the tablet but yeah wouldnt use hand sanitizers....

Using cloth that came with screen protector on my old tablet, works fine and removes fingerprints quite well. I too also need to buy a protector for my S tablet just havent gotten around to it. It might be me but S tab seems easier to get finger prints off then other tablets. Obvious thing too...

Im getting around 7 hrs on mine most of the time, last night watched Dawn of the Dead on it from fully charged and was at around 85% when it was over so can probably squeeze in 4 movies or so. And sadly no doesnt charge via usb just from power connector/dock.

As far as what? Playstation games? Its fine the controls Crash and Pinball work real well. If you mean regular android games they work great too :)

This unfortunately is always the case with tech, once the Kal-El (quad core Tegras) come out you'll see price drops on the dual core ones. Doesnt mean your tablet is going to become useless though just you wont be state of the art anymore :) Really? I absolutely love reading on my S tab, the...

Cool now if they would fix the social reader :) Clearing data and reseting will fix it for a few days but then it pops up again.

Ram gets used up by the OS, background services, the launcher etc, caches etc and gets freed up when necessary like most modern OSes. S tablet has 1 gig of ram to put it in perspective I usually have around 400 or so free according to task manager when not running *anything* but only had like...

Yeah honestly despite the appearance that Sony just made it look weird for the sake of being unique I cant praise the shape of the tablet enough. It is imo a feature worth being a deciding factor, the tablet just feels so "right" in your hand. The Galaxy is a fine tablet having used it quite a...

It is actually glass atleast that is what sony keeps saying, it feels like plastic to me but dunno. https://forum.sel.sony.com/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=11075 "The Sony Tablet features a 9.4” durable touch screen glass and is not acrylic, plexiglass or plastic. "

Nope doesnt for me.

The sound or control position :) Cause the location of the rocker annoys the crap at me tough to turn it up. I use headphones so actual sound doesnt bother me, it could be better but its not horrible.

It isnt bad if you use sony's music app which has equalizer, bass etc but yeah it could be better for the price.

Got no problem with battery life got a problem with recharge time tho it is real slow.

*nevermind*

Really want root so can use cifs shares...really sucks not having that feature.

No problem with the jack here.

Hmm went in and cleared data on social reader/force stopped it, restarted it and redid my accounts and *so* far no random force closes. Guess Ill see how it holds up and whether that actually fixed it.

Seems like that would cause noticeable lag on the device.

what app is it?

that of course isnt counting the 3.8 gigs to install apps on

Probably is til Sony patches it (and i hope they do) the sd slot is basically just a file transfer/media storage rather then true storage.

fyi firefox 7 is now out for android, so far really impressed it is silky smooth for me. I would still prefer chrome (no idea why google doesnt put out a chrome browser) but nice to have firefox back and actually working well.

It isnt ram, its storage. All you 'gain' is more room to store apps, music, movies etc. The tablet as almost all honeycomb tablets come with 1 gig of ram. If you see yourself packing the tablets with movies/photos etc then yes the 32 gig one is worth it.

Ditto with the social reader error even if not using it, also get a database error occasionally no idea what is causing that but nothing noticable seems to stop/crash.

Yeah same battery was burning quick initially now its pretty even and like an idiot I left gps ticked on indoors which certainly didnt help :)

Wierd havent run into that problem, soon as I changed the setting wifi stays always on. Running 3.2 update too?

Id say too early to tell either way :) But yeah the device hasnt been out long, Im sure some people will start poking their away around it sooner then later.

You got like 3.5 gigs free on the "app" storage and 8 gigs on storage so figure the rest is used up for installed apps, the os etc itself. it feels SOLID, it doesnt creek or give at any point on the tablet itself. You CAN tell the bottom half is mostly hollow since there is a noticeable reverb...
