Re: [OT] Unboxing the Acer Android Tablet

Dear all, I am in desperate need of help. The revlet player is simply broken on all levels. On Mac, in Safari, it takes between 4 and 8 clicks to press a button. On PCs, all kinds of browser crashing is going on. What can I do? How can I get people to use the database I created? Any ideas?

Re: [OT] Unboxing the Acer Android Tablet

Classic. Turns out none of my Apple products knows how to spell Icons... no I mean Iconic... no I mean Icon is :-) There's a website around somewhere (sorry can't locate right now) that is dedicated to the SMS messages that have had their meaning completely jumbled due to 'auto-spell correctors'

The grid is in the hardware - it's part of the screen. I guess that's the touch sensitive part. There is no current photo problems - must have been resolved. Mike On Tue, 2 Aug 2011 11:24:34 -0700, Pete wrote: > I see some reviews that talk about a grid being visible on the screen and >

That I agree with. I wish the manufacturers would all agree on a hardware data port so that 3rd party companies could support them and create cool gadgets. Grrr. Mike On Tue, 2 Aug 2011 12:44:30 -0500, Chipp Walters wrote: > I should also mention, once I figured out how to use the c

I should also mention, once I figured out how to use the cursor with my finger, it's a MUCH more satisfying experience than the 'bubble approach Apple has. Score one for Google in UIX over Apple. Still, there's little if any after market accessories for any of these Android products, especially co

Just an FYI... If you don't mind the smaller size, need the functionality of on-board camera(s) or 3/4G, the Nook Color makes a really nice and inexpensive Android tablet. Plus you can run the whole thing off of the MicroSD card, without rooting the device and/or worrying about warranty issues. My

'And the resolution isn't "much" better. The wide screen can be useful when playing Angry Birds Rio levels, but the actual DPI is only 149 versus 132. 132 is already fairly high, and unless I wear reading glasses and try to look for differences, I wouldn't describe the extra 12% as being that much

Re: [OT] Unboxing the Acer Android Tablet

TBH, the battery lasts so long I really don't care about charging it. It lasts 20 hours for me - so I can let it go for almost a week before charging it. Then I put it on charge overnight and I wake up and it's ready to go for another week. Mike On Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:29:03 -0400, Colin Hol

Have you then been able to plug the device into a high power USB 2 port, and it gains charge? That would be so useful, I wouldn't have to carry the power adapter around with me. BTW, I have an app that quits all other apps, and I use that when testing performance. I'll try a session with Angry

Again, I disagree. I bought all the angry birds apps, along with tons of other games and the Nvidia Tegra dual core SHINES. Every kid that has played it (I am a administrator at a camp this summer) LOVES IT. They say it rivals their xbox 360 and playstation 3. The Ipad 2 is good, but not THAT

RE: [OT] Unboxing the Acer Android Tablet

I'll tell you why. Unlike apple, which controls every facet of app creation and takes a healthy cut of the profits AND charges to allow you to become a developer AND makes it near impossible to publish anything, Android and google have a more hands off approach. Does this mean the market is

I had hoped that like the iPad it might charge over the fat USB cable, and I did eventually try that (surprising how hard it is to find a USB type A to type A lead), but it wouldn't charge. I was wrong about the power adapter not being strong enough, I was using the wrong one! With the right on

I suspect, just like the iPad, it requires a larger and higher rated USB transformer in order to work. I'm stunned at how unusable Gmail is from the browser. I can't imagine this is anything close to the intended experience. It takes SERIOUSLY many seconds for the typing to'catch up' and the cusor

A couple of things you say don't seem quite right, but I'll reply to those points tomorrow. Unfortunately the Acer doesn't charge over USB, so if you let it run down, as it did while I was away for a week, you have a device that can't be run. The power adapter isn't powerful enough to power the
