    New Update for Droid Icredible 2

    I was never able to install 2.3.4, even after clearing the caches as recommended. I guess a factory reset is the next step---if someone can tell me how to do one.

    Firmware Upgrade 2.3.4 Now Available

    Haven't tried a battery pull but a powering off didn't do help. Frankly, if I have to do a factory resent to install an update with limited new features, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of restoring everything.

    How is this tablet?

    It's a great value, especially when you consider the fact that you can expand the storage cheaply and easily, or swap storage in and out if that's your preference. Battery life is excellent, it's fast and responsive, and I'm very happy with the apps, including those not optimized for Honeycomb...

    Power Button Placement

    All things considered, you want a power button that is flush or recessed a bit so you don't accidentally turn your device on/off. I agree---if it works fine I wouldn't fret about it.

    USB 12V Tablet Charger

    Good to know---I'll save my $$ until something better comes along.

    USB 12V Tablet Charger

    Saw this link on Android Guys. Charge Your Phone and Tablet in the Car. Here's the Amazon Link. From the tiny print on my TF power brick it looks like it generates 2.1A, so this should work.

    Facebook official app available

    As I've posted before, I've been very pleased with using the web version of FB on Dolphin for Pad and I'm reasonably sure it works better on any Honeycomb browser than tbe FB app. I just don't see the need for the app now. YMMV.

    facebook app

    I use the regular web version in the Dolphin for Tab browser. Works beautifully. I'm not sure I see any reason for a FB app.

    Streaming Question

    I haven't seen the answer to this anywhere else, so bear with me. I figure TF owners are probably more knowledgeable than the average smartphone owner. :) I'm trying to find out whether a the size of an audio or video file is identical to the amount of data that is streamed to a device. For...

    What case/bag do you use for your TF?

    :( I have the Roo-Case leather portfolio and love it. It definitely adds bulk, but I like the protection it offers. I also bought a nice leather day bag at Wilson's Leather. The TF fits in with lots of space for extras. Makes it easy to toss (not literally) in the car when I'm going out and...

    New Owner/Member with some questions

    I do the same thing, but when I copied some movies from my PC to my TF, it was sloooow. Routine file transfers are much more practical.

    New Owner/Member with some questions

    As for finding Honeycomb-optimized apps, the market app on the TF has a section that lists those; however I haven't found it very user-friendly. I found a web site called "www.tablified.com" that lists Honeycomb apps. The site isn't particularly well-developed, but it's a start. Apps are...

    Predictive typing

    I highly recommend Swiftkey X. I have it on my TF and Dinc2 after using it for a year+ on my Droid. It will cost you a few dollars, but is worth it.

    Charging?

    You can buy a 12v DC-120v AC inverter for your car to charge your TF on the road. You can get one almost anywhere for $10-15.

    DINC2 scratch resistant battery cover?

    Let me plug the Seidio Surface case. $30, plus shipping, but Seidio runs sales that effectively means the product ships for free. I had one on my Droid and now have one on my Dinc2, as does my wife on her Dinc2.
