Hey Guys,

Got me the above tablet and was wondering if there is anyway to get it to play Divx, as well as where is the best place to get free or semi-free games/apps?

Thanks in advance :)
 
Vplayer Advanced is free on the Android Market and plays most video codecs. Nice app.
 
Another Qestion, I was told I can plug a 3G modem into the tablet and connect to the net that way?
 
Hi Blaze786, I was going to purchase the iconia A500 and the sales rep informed me that u cannot plug a 3G modem to it, so its better to take the A501 with built in 3G, however upon reading online it seems possible but it seems that you have to disable mass storage on your USB port. Will see if I can find the link and will post it.

You mean you can plug the 3G USB modems in but will have to disable the MicroSD Card on the modem for this to work, can still use other USB memory sticks and HD's

Its somewhere here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/f-1136.html regarding getting USB modem to work on the iconia a500.
Elimentals, I haven't tried but I was told that it disables mass storage on your USB drive (so flash drives, hdd won't work via USB on the tablet) is this true? I got the A501 and its awesome.

Hi - Where did you get the 501? I have had mine on order but Acer cannot give me a delivery date. Did you get it in SA?

Hi....
Nope unfortunately, it wasn't from SA. no stock here and if there is stock, it's really expensive here.

Anyone, got covers yet for theirs looking locally rather than importing.
 
Wow, rooting the iconia is as easy as downloading an app. I rooted and flashed a custom rom without even touching my pc, this is awesome.

Hey man. Sorry for posting here. I am interested in the Ipad 2 you are selling. Could you please PM me your details?
