Target wants 450 for the 16gb

So I ordered mine on Fri from BestBuy and they still haven't shipped. I got a UPS tracking # on Mon night but apparently it still hasn't made it out of the warehouse.

Im pissed that poweramp doesnt work on this. The built-in music player is shit. I need an eq. Right now I have this free eq app that is always running but it would be nice to have one built into the app like Poweramp does on my phone.

Mine arrived today... so far I like it.

Hopefully poweramp will be fixed soon for Honeycomb, but right now I'm using Winamp

For the navigation app, does anyone know if you need a constant internet connection or just when it searches your destination and calculates your route and then the GPS tracking takes over from there?

Does it contain the map data locally? I'm doubting it does, but who knows... it might!

I'm pretty sure the navigation app caches your route locally when you enter a destination.

Hopefully it will fix this fc issue with everything.

Hopefully it will fix this fc issue with everything.

From my experience that will improve as app developers upgrade their apps to be Honeycomb compatible. Some Android apps simply explode into bits when you force them to not be true full screen.

install was painless, used my phones SD card

 

[Tristicus]

I noticed the Iconia was asking for an update at work tonight, guessing that is 3.1.

Anand Review is up

 

[trmiv]

Just did the upgrade, it went well. Performance seems a little increased so far. Re-sizable widgets work well on the stuff that supports it.

 

[KDOG]

Anyone try that 1.6ghz OC kernel I've heard about? That seems like a hefty upgrade in performance. Someone on the review page said it should be tested and I think theyre right! I'd like to hear how that goes!

3.1 removes root if you install it. not sure if its been rooted on 3.1 yet

 

[Oyeve]

I grabbed the file but recovery didnt work for me.

 

[Anubis]

did you save it locally or to an external SD card? i ran it off my micro SD card worked fine

Ditto for me.

 

[Oyeve]

Ditto for me.

Ran it from internal sdcard. Where do I put it on external? In the root? Do I leave the filename unchanged?

yes, i just placed it on the root of my external and left the name unchanged

i used my phones SD card which has a ton of other stuff on it, no issues
