    Help How do my kids buy apps in the UK?

    I have bought both my kids (13 & 10) a Nexus 7 each for Christmas. I am reluctant to add my credit card details to their accounts. I know I can prevent apps being bought with a PIN, but I'd rather not add my CC at all. Play Gift Cards? US-only it seems. Why haven't Google rolled this out...

    Help Streaming XVID's to my Transformer?

    Hi, I have a bunch of xvid movies on my PC that I can stream wirelessly to my xbox360. This works flawlessly. I started playing with MyNet last night on my TF, connected to my PC, found the shared movie directory ... but the movies wouldn't play. Further reading suggests my TF can only...

    Help 2.3.3 >> 2.3.4 on Orange UK?

    Hi, I had a good read of the Kies update thread, and from that was led to believe that there was an update for my GSII on Orange from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I have just installed Kies, expecting to get an update message when connecting my GSII via USB. Unfortunately, it seems I already have the...

    Ice Cream Sandwich OTA on my Transformer?

    I have scoured the 'net for information on official ASUS over-the-air ICS updates for my 1st generation Transformer. Most of the information is quite old and incorrect, so I'm wondering if anyone has a link to anything concrete? There are plenty of rumours about the Transformer 2, packing...

    UK Keyboard (at last)

    After waiting patiently for the UK keyboard to show up as a peripheral in the UK, Amazon finally stocked them earlier this week. Its being delivered today, and I'm hoping its as good (and useful) as I think it will be. I was really tempted to get one from the US or Taiwan six weeks ago ...

    Anybody have any details on what was updated yesterday? I turned my Eee Pad on yesterday afternoon in the UK, and got seriously excited when I saw an update waiting for me ... sadly it wasn't 3.2. Apparently a new OTA build number, various (smallish) sites are reporting bug-fixes, a new...

    Tabbed browsing on/off?

    Does anyone know how to turn the tabs on the stock browser on or off? When I first got my ASUS TF, I could see the tabs I had open (across the top) ... but now it does "full page" and the only way I can see if I have another tab open is to use the thumbwheel control. It's driving me crazy...

    What on-screen keyboard are you using?

    With not buying the keyboard dock (hen's teeth in the UK), I have spent the last week or so with the ASUS stock on-screen keyboard. Whilst it was fine to use whilst propped up, I found it sucked when holding my TF101 two-handed. I started looking for an alternative, preferably something I...

    OTA update last night (in UK)

    Hi, I understand the update last night was to fix keyboard dock issues, but I have noticed it has added a more stock apps and Asus stuff to my UK TF101 than I previously had. I'm convinced that since the update, Latitude, Layar, MyCloud and MyZine are now present. Also MyNet (which was in...
