ok, three weeks of using, here's my review

1) Typing with keyboard often jump key, meaning cursor is at position 5, after typing few characters, it will jump to position 2 etc.. hence need to reposition the cursors. Not sure if this is due to the lag during data transfer. Can be frustrating when doing serious work

2) Prime occassionally reboot and error that task manager had ended (something like that)

3) Portable 2.5 inch hardisk with usb only could not be detected. Tumbdrive works fine though

4) Prime Not detected in xp. Probably need some driver installation

5) Difficult to find nice cover and screen protectors locally. Need to order online.


Other than these, the rest works pretty well

Are you using Android 4.0 or 3.0? Anyone else having the same problem too? Planning on getting one, so doing my research, so do let me know, thanks!

Your HDD must be an old model or one where you put together yourself... the newer models from the established brands will work fine... I've connected a WD 1 TB drive to my older Archos Gen 8 10.1" tablet and it works running movies off it... works also with my Acer Iconia Tab... so it's the drive not the tablet... you can try a friend's HDD which is newer than yours and see if it is detected... I've no problem with all my portable HDD, WD, Seagate, Buffalo, Toshiba, etc...
