Yeah, if it's that much of a problem, they probably shouldn't have loads of power sockets around the place that anyone can plug anything into.

Put padlocked covers over them or something.

Asus Transformer Prime tablet reboot fix fails to show

Monday 13th February 2012 17:15 GMT Dotter

Actually, they're fixing problems that came to light when the update was released in the US. If anything, the Americans who got it first got a bad deal, not us.

"And the company re-iterated its plan to release Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the tablet later this month."

That would be for the original Transformer. The Prime already has 4.0 on it.

As for the late update, this seems to be down to issues Americans are having with it (if the posts on XDA are any guide).

ICS

"If you want Honeycomb, the edition designed with larger devices in mind, it’s hard to find many options (though more are imminent)"

I would hope they would have Ice Cream Sandwich on them, rather than Honeycomb if they haven't already been released.

And there seem to be a fair few out there with Honeycomb/ICS already.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Android Tablet

Friday 20th January 2012 09:22 GMT Dotter

It's pretty good for me so far. Yeah, there are the negative comments about the GPS etc, but that's something a lot of people (myself included) never use.

I'm not going to replace my laptop with it as I still want to use Windows/PC games, but I've used the previous model in places I don't want to lug around a 15" laptop and been very happy with it.

The Prime supposedly has a 16hr+ battery life which is far better than the 2hrs I get off my laptop, so yeah, it's good for general use.

Not only do they need to know what they're talking about, they need to be good at teaching it - something that seems to be lacking a lot of the time with people teaching that subject (though it is a hard one to teach).

Isn't it possible that this is a fault with this particular iPad?

If you're going to test something like this, you should at least perform it on a larger scale to rule out possible problems like that.

"Retailers fear Steam will become as powerful a force in games sales as Apple's iTunes has become in the music business."

Time to start selling your games at a more competitive price, then.
