initally it was, cause they were images of the 10.1 with an micro sd slot...they somehow then shafted plans for it in the final stages.
You can connect a usb stick with the usb adapter though.

yeah..I thought it had increased as well from last week but wasn't too sure.
they had the 64gb 3g at 7000 and now it doesnt even show up
I installed Filemanager HD fro that list the other day \.. nice app, I'm also able to browse network shares
Tweet Caster is also cool, though quite similar to the normal twitter app
I also read reviews and watched some videos with the SD slot, that's 1 of the main reasons I waited for the new 10.1 instead of taking the 10.1v... but as long as I can stream content from my server I think I ok with out the sd slot..
Well ordering directly makes hardly any difference at all. There is the odd seller on ebay who sells it for $480/490 but and asks $75 for shipping. So it works out more or less the same.
I think I have a faulty battery on my tab.. Charged on Sunday... used it on Monday for a few minutes and it was fine.. Then Shut it down (not just the screen, but a shut down)..
Tuesday evening when I got home, tried to switch it on, and nothing.. So I plugged in the charger and the battery/charging "meter" showed up empty with a yellow triangle.. Left it to charge and then switched it on, used it for a while and then shut down before going to sleep (battery around 80%)..
Wednesday evening, same thing, completely dead.. had to charge again before using it..
since Monday, the only things I did was use pulse, youtube, email and tweetcaster, haven't streamed any files on the LAN or anything.
Also On Monday, I put on a new screen guard (sticker) and tried out a new "smart-case" (like an ipad case), but removed the case after a few minutes as I preferred the book case.
Is it possible for the screen protector to cause battery drain? I read on one website that its possible, but that was on another device (not a tab)..

Hmmm... mine lasts about a day of frequent use.
Only on its second charge now - so I'll monitor it... the only way I can see a screen protector using battery is if the screen is on and its registering as a touch... otherwise it'd also use the battery in its case when the case touches the screen.

I also saw that on another forum.. But It was registering as touch afaik.. I removed the screen protector last night.. and did an overnight charge 11pm to 5am.. also switched off wifi & gps (no sim
Do you also shut down or do you just switch off the screen.. And the battery do you wait for it to drop below a certain Percentage before charging..
I usually let it run flat before charging... (on any device) - so far I've just left it on, never shut down
There's a widget you can put on the main screen that shows how many applications are running, if you click it, it lets you close them, and there's also a memory tab, I've found even with all my applications closed, its still using a lot of memory, and when I clear memory it speeds up considerably.

I have that widget and also noticed the memory usage a bit high even after closing everything.. I usually close all apps before switching off
I just switched on my tab now and the battery has jumped to 64% with no usage, down from 99% this morning before being shut down..
Thanks for the link, looks like that could fix my problem.. Have you tried it ?

Planning on getting a Tab 10.1 next month.....can't wait

I put it to sleep and dont switch it off completely. As of this morning the battery was at 54%.
