I've used it a fair bit in the past but I pretty much use this device now for all my many interactions between my work laptop and Note 8.0, and my personal MBAir and S5. Get one, you'll wonder how you lived without it ;)

EDIT: And very handy in the Saudi desert where we are still establishing site office and facilities and haven't got wifi yet :p

Same purpose as an otg cable, which is cheaper and any flash drive can be used with it

True, but can use any size and more than one. Also if you have an otg cable and a USB hub, do vice dependant you can use multiple flash drives too. If said hub is powered u can use external notebook drives. Obviously you can use external desktop drives as well. Root your device and it can support ntfs as well.

Big benefits out of a R10 otg cable over an admittedly very nice mobile device capable flash drive.

I must say I really don't like the new gmail on my note 10.1 tablet (thank goodness for TiBackup). It's ok on my phone, but I won't rave about it.

What browsers do you guys use? I've been using Firefox for a while but decided to check out the competition. Chrome and Opera are the fastest by far, and imo Opera has a much nicer interface and I like the Speed Dial. It's come a long way since I last used it. So I'm now an Opera user.

Forgot about Boat. I'll download it and see how it's gotten on. I used it for a week or two a long time ago on my S3, but the ads for the paid version and some other niggles put me off. Not to mention the name sucks.

+1 for my N7. They have assume work to do to make it look decent. It's like they just wanted to get the new version on a tablet and threw the phone version in there. Also restoring the previous version

O ok. So it's a look thing. Screenshots? Does it have no split view?

On mine, the split view was botched. It showed half of the wording of the folders. The split was a bit off. I don't have screen shots and don't care for installing it again. I'll just wait for an update and see how that goes.

Anyone know how to force a tablet view on a phone, often it would work better on my Note than the phone view

What app do you guys recommend for a complete backup? I want to flash a new ROM and so want to backup everything as it wipes everything... I have rooted already and installed Titanium but that only backs up apps it seems...
