    I will never buy any asus product again.

    I think the answer to that question is contained in the title of this thread. I didn't buy this product to become a hobbyist / hacker. I bought it to fulfill certain needs which based on its performance specs and price it should have been able to handle. It couldn't / didn't. I'll look elsewhere.

    I will never buy any asus product again.

    I don't understand way I should have to root and CROMI ROM (whatever that is) a $600 tablet before it's useable. Shouldn't it be usable out of the box?

    TF700T now won't turn on.

    Exact same problem. Multiple reboot attempts and pushing the reset button in the little hole. Vibrated and screen changed from dark to slightly less dark. Nothing else. Decided to try connecting HDMI to TV. Walked over to TV and plugged the micro HDMI end of cable into tablet, other end still...

    Yet Another Outlook --> Google Sync Question

    I'd concur with you except that it's $14.95 for a 3 month subscription or $49.95 for a one-time license fee. Either way, kind of steep.

    Yet Another Outlook --> Google Sync Question

    So, this isn?t technically an Android question, but maybe someone here will know. All I want to do is sync my Work MS Outlook Calendar (PC) with my Google Calendar. That?s it, nothing fancy. Sync Outlook --> Google is a must Sync Google --> Outlook would be a nice bonus Just to be...

    Bookmarks in Chrome Browser

    A possible solution, I suppose. But, it assumes I have or want to have Chrome on my PC.

    Bookmarks in Chrome Browser

    I want to do something really simple in Chrome: Create a new folder of bookmarks and place web page bookmarks in it. I want the folder to be under ?Bookmarks?. But, Chrome is only letting me create it under the folder ?Bookmarks > Moble bookmarks?. WTF? If it matters, running 4.2.1 on Asus...

    GA Flight Planning App

    Any General Aviation pilots out there? I'm looking for a flight planning app that will take full advantage of the size and resolution of my tablet verses a smartphone. It should have an update-able data base of airports, navaids, fixes, etc. It should have user-configurable aircraft performance...

    Mock Locations...

    I use Mock Locations with the Bluetooth GPS app. It allows me to use an external, WAAS-enabled, Bluetooth GPS receiver to provide other apps with my location. I'm a General Aviation pilot and this runs my navigation apps, much more accurate and reliable than the tablet's built-in GPS.

    A700 vs TF700

    My main application is in the cockpit of a General Aviation airplane. So display brightness is VERY important to me for sunlight readability. Anyone know the claimed luminance of A700 in nits?

    A700 vs TF700

    I?d like to compare this against the (still vaporware) Asus TF700. Especially w.r.t. the display. For A700: * What is display brightness in nits? (TF700 claims 600) * Is display IPS+? (TF700 claims yes) * Is display Gorilla Glass 2? (TF700 claims yes)
