New A500 Owner - Happy..sort of

[Busaboi]

Just got the new A500 at Staples for $399 (thx coupon ) and overall happy. Not rooted yet and got the OTA right away.

Tried to install Storm8 MMO games but no joy. They d/l from market and install but won't run. Anyone else have the same issue?

Yes, I get a java.lang.NullPointerException error when I try to run it (don't play them but I downloaded iMobsters to try and reproduce the issue). Not sure if it's a Honeycomb issue or specific to the Iconia. Not much we can do about it except send the error report to Storm8 and hope they fix it in an update. I've found this is the most frequent error with most apps that crash if they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb.

Here's more info about the error if you're familiar with Java:
