So, I have both. And I will share my thoughts.
Inking: A major complaint I had with the Flyer was that the stylus was limited to the Reader app, HTC Notes and the PDF Viewer. The PDF Viewer was kinda clunky because the pen nib was ginormous! However, I could change colors on the pen and highlight functions.
So, the JS doesn't have the Reader app, but I have another option that is just as good with the Moon+ reader. No handwritten notes, but eh. The keyboard is big on the JS, so it is ok. HTC Notes has a new nib that is a crayon. Love it. It also seems the response on the JS kills the Flyer! PDF Viewer is the same, EXCEPT the pen nib is smaller and smoother, which is AWESOME, but I am limited to blue only!
However, I can use the scribe ANYWHERE on the JS! Hands down, I prefer the JS in using the stylus! I just wish that I could change out the ink colors in the PDF Viewer to more than blue....
Widgets on the JS are cool....pretty standard Sense Widgets. Also, the wallpaper scrolls like on Sense 2.0 (like the Evo 4G). Glad to have that back! The default browser is better as well. Actually, all the widgets are better on the JS!
I also prefer the size. I read a lot and I had to zoom a lot with the Flyer.
Regarding video, it does just fine for me. I use Netflix and Crackle and it's all good. I also have some downloaded movies that are good as well.
It feels better in my hand than the other tablets I have tried because of the curve. It feels comfy even if it is heavier. And it is a solid well made tablet. Much like the Flyer's older brother! And believe me, you can see the difference in the real estate between the two!
I am also happy to have a full version of Zinio working on this bad boy!
If you have any questions, just post them! Yeah, I know, I am a girl and with all the reading, I sound like I oughtta just have a Nook. Lol. I want this bad boy rooted, though! I miss my backup and customizing!
Have you tried out the Flyer HC? Just wondering if the benefits you found on the JC are still valid against the Flyer running HC....

Video on the Jetstream is just bizarre. There's no discrete video app. Instead, you have to select videos from the gallery and than an imbedded HTC app gets launched. There's an option in the gallery to select a different default video player but the only one that ever appears as an option is HTC's. It also doesn't support MKV. Neither PlayOn or Plex work on it which will be a deal breaker for people who want Hulu access and to stream their own content. HTC's video implementation's have always sucked. You can live with it on a phone but it's pretty shabby for a $700 tablet considering video is probably one of the top things people do with it. Other than the screwed up video and weight I thought it was extremely well done.
I haven't implemented HC on the Flyer yet, have you? I was wondering the same thing! Wondering primarily about Scribe, and if the stylus works for all apps?
The tablet is great for a student....to be honest, I don't do video...that is what Boxee and the big screen TV are for me....tablets are for reading, research, annotation, and a nice personal assistant....for me, at least.
Its good to know that info, though!
So, tell me (the poor guy who can't buy anything better than a nook color...) is the jetstream good for reading? I like to read books, and I find 7 inch tablets are more "book-like" than a 10 inch...
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
I prefer the larger tablet....I can read the screen better and without my glasses! With the Flyer, I had such a small space and on the ten inch, it.is more.like.a true page size. And when you are zooming, this means a lot. Smaller screen, I had to pan more.
I do like the Flyer for an address book, though. Fits in purse better, not so noticeable....however, typing on this JS is awesome! So easy....almost like a real keyboard. I think when cases come out, I won't have a problem lugging this around, though....
Hope this helps! The Nook is a great device! Totally impressed with how far it has come!
I really liked the Flyer, but it was just too small for me. The Jetstream is the perfect size.
The Pen on the Jetstream can be used to select buttons and tabs, as before with the Flyer you could not do that. This is really a much improved feature as it is just natural to want to use the pen to select if you have the pen in your hand already.
JOHN
The pen on the Honeycomb Flyer is much improved. You can use it on everything, just like the way you use your finger.

Express and Pro doesn't work on Flyer, it looks like it was because of the resolution being lower than typical Honeycomb devices.
Pro is the only version that has option for pressure sensitive pens, and I was told it works for Jetstream, I hope to verify that personally sometime down the road.
Right now I do a lot of sketch on Sketchbook Mobile, since it works like finger but more accurate. I am happier than I was using the crappy HTC Scribble that's for sure.

I for one would like to use a tablet WITH a big screen TV one day (using HDMI). Right now it looks like only Archos is good for videos though. Tegra2 for example is very poor - I also find the quality of the videos is much worse than when I play them on a desktop PC (probably because simpler decoding algorithms). I wonder if this is the same for the chip in Jetstream? On my Transformer when playing avi file I see a strange grid on the picture.
Isn't a video is more of a software question than a hardware. We have Qualcomm dualcore 1,5 here, which can do certain number of megaflops. Thats it. Everythin else depends on installed video player\decoder.

I don't think I'm going to miss the kickstand too much
Might just be me, but I swear the layout on the screen looks so odd, like the app/icons are adjusted weird or however you'd like to word it...
Other then that, it looks great!!
I think it looks good but I wish it had a kickstand. I'll getting it regardless. Can't wait till Summer! Hopefully they'll give us more of a demo!
I didn't think the kickstand would be for me until I started propping it up on my desk while doing work. It was easier to pick up phone calls via bluetooth while looking at it. I really want to see how the camera shots look and what kind of lens they are using. I think the camera bezel is huge and unnecessary but whatever.
What is the shell/casing made out of?
There was a kickstand accessory for the View, and i wanna say the guy said there is one for the 3D too.
The demo from drdrewdown is awesome. This phone is totally badass.. you can completely shut 3d off if you like... they said display looks much better than the original EVO.
My only concern is battery life... but I htink I'll begetting this phone.
Yeah, whats up with the lack of a kickstand? BSOD mentioned it still has one, but I do not see it. He also mentioned NFC, but I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else yet either.
Looks good I thing they should have gone more plain style like the iPhone 4 tho(look), I'll miss the kickstands, I hope the video quality is better then my current evo, this is what the nexus s should be ha ha, definetely going to get it tho

That's because of the higher resolution screen
BSOD stated the NFC but who knows if it's included in the chip but not enabled. Also I could care less for 3D since the only thing I would be able to play it back on is the Evo. At least now people won't ask you if you have an iPhone when they see that huge camera bezel in the back.
I can imagine people selling screen protectors for the back and the front.
I'll miss the kickstand a lot. I love propping up my phone since i keep it naked and want to minimize scratching the camera lens.
So does this have the adreno GPU?
The one thing that BSOD mentioned that I was really excited about was WiMax+LTE. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about that mentioned during the liveblog on AC.
It's an awesome phone, no doubt about that, but I'm definitely not as excited about it as I was before. With the way things are going here in San Diego, it seems pretty much pointless to pick up a new phone that only has 3G/WiMax, as it doesn't look like we'll get WiMax anytime soon.
When is this phone scheduled for release or is it unknown ATM?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
So about those facts BSOD posted, which I said were incorrect.....
The phone is sick, but the EVO View truly surprised me. It's awesome. Anyway, adios.
looks kinda less sleek then the original evo to me...No kickstand is huge for me I use that like 100 times a day at least lol...Loving the internal specs tho wow that phone is a beast...damn decisions decisions lol

Just sometime in the summer.. No specific month unfortunately.
My guess is around when the original Evo was released.
I think I am sticking with my launch day EVO. Not really impressed by the EVO 3D. EVO View seems kind of useless.
Hi all,
I found a nice capacitive stylus and cheap at the same time, so I was wondering how many of you are considering it? Have you used one before?
My point is that it will take care of the fingerprints (most of them), it is small enough to keep on you at all times without noticing... On the other hand you can't do multitouch....
Share your thoughts,
rio
I bought one for use with my Galaxy Tab, but to be honest I never really use it, and I don't feel the need to use it with TF either.
Regards,
Dave
They're only any use if you do enough drawing/painting. Pointless for anything else imho. These apps are a bit thin on the ground atm though. It works ok in Sketchbook Mobile, which is about the only half decent app I've found, but it only works in portrait mode. If you know of any better apps please let me know.
I picked up a BoxWave mini Capacitive Stylus from ebay, image of it should be below.

It clips into the headphone port on the device, so your not going to loose it when its not in use.
I find it pretty good, i don't use it all the time, only when needed or i want to do something on the screen that is detailed.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys,
I guess I should have asked before I ordered the thingy.

Never tried using a stylus on a capacative screen before, so I'd like to know if they're any good for taking math notes etc? Considering getting the transformer if I can justify getting it

Hi guys,
Not to step on any toes, but I bought a stylus exactly like that one, and have been using it for 2 days now. It is small and compact, quite nice.
I find it really useful on the Transformer, because of the quality I guess: it is as good as a finger and bit more precise. And there are no longer finger traces on my screen!!!!
I tried using it with my HD2 and that did not go so well. The stylus is only good for "clicking", anything else like scrolling, sliding... the stylus is close to useless!?!?!
Anyway, just my experience,
rio

if i were to get a stylus, i would prolly use it for writing/note taking and stuff for class so i would prolly choose the targus stylus (http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Stylus...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1304073267&sr=1-1)
I dont know if there are other styli that are really good/meant for handwriting but that one seems good

I use it to underline and annotate PDFs. You'll take notes faster if you write it on paper and then use the camera to take a picture.
On my g-Tab, the stylus will not work well if your hand touches the screen at any point. That means you need to write while hovering your hand, or use something to prop your hand up. Wearing gloves will not help.

I have purchased the Boxwave stylus ( BoxWave Capacitive iPad Stylus (Jet Black) - not the one pictured earlier) and find that it works pretty well for writepad or Tabnotes ( trial only at the moment) for handwriting however, i am now hooked on Flext9 keyboard using the swipe option, since the last update, it is extremely accurate and I find myself using the stylus with it which makes it ideal as the notes are produced quicker than handwriting and can easily be emailed as they are typed as opposed to handwritten.
If you need to annotate PDFs, use easy PDF from the market as it has some fantastic options for annotation and costs approximately 80 pence which is a bargain, again ideal when used with a stylus.
Got my Boxwave mini stylus today and also the Asus Sleeve.
You know what? The stylus is too mini. It's a bit hard to hold while doing stuff on the Transformer in the Sleeve slanted.
Shoulda bought a regular pen sized stylus.
A side note for those of you ordering styluses, Handrite is the best note taking app I have found. I have been using the free version for a few days with my stylus (Acase from Amazon), and it works like a charm. The stylus is also works great on the TF

There is no digitizer built into the tablet. On a side note I played with my friend's Asus EP121. Windows 7 tablet with 12.1" screen and Wacom digitizer built in. Boy was that small pen accurate and fun to use. Anyone who wants a Windows 7 tablet that is definitely the one to look into.

Can you write with the pen while your hand is resting on the screen, or do you have to have only the tip touching?

Though I'm guessing there are two possible workarounds
1) use the scribble function on a blank screen...
2) load a completely white (or other colour should you so wish) image into the album...

I'll let the artists in the community confirm, but i get at least two levels of pressure sensitivity with the pencil, marker, pen and brush. Most noticeable with the brush in my opinion.

I found the pressure sensitivity better with the brush, marker and highlighter...the other pens less unless using a bigger tip. It is smooth after you get the hang of it. I have more drawings I'll post later today, some mine and some of my friends. Wanted to get an all around feel for the drawing ability of the flyer.
Now to nag HTC about adding an inking app coupled with software to detect pressure sensitivity a lot better =P
I contacted HTC about pressure sensitivity and palm rejection done through the stylus and this is what they said

Got it on opening day and been doodleing on it as much as I can. I really like the pencil tool and the brush tool. Fantastic little tablet for quick sketches.
I really hope that sketchbook mobile implements the pen feature in one of their updates. I would love if that program worked with the pen.
Will post my art soon (need to post a few times to allow my links)

I'm a horrible sketcher, but with the s pen it makes it so much more precise to direct your lines and fill color.
I drew Bowser yesterday and it came out a lot better than I thought it would. I would have done more, but it was telling me I was running out of ink lol.
I've been playing this game using my S-Pen. The stylus is a godsend for this particular app. Unfortunately, the nanosecond delay in inputs makes it so that my drawings look really cheesy. If I draw something, what I draw doesn't appear instantaneously ... there's always a very slight delay, but that delay caused major issues for accuracy. I don't see any solution to this problem.

yea...that's it, that's why my drawlings suck too, the delay is inhibiting my artistic abilities to drawl stick figures.
Those pictures are epic! I'm jealous of people who can draw.
The stylus action isn't quite as good as a full blown Wacom tablet or a tablet PC with Wacom pen like an older LE1600 (which I have), but it's a lot better than an iPad or iPhone with a mushy capaci-touch type stylus. There's some okay accuracy styli on iOS, just not really pressure sensitive.
My understanding is the S-Pen will be better supported with ICS. As it stands, there's a handful of suitable pressure-friendly paint apps already, more soon I should think. Doodledroid and Hello Color Pencil are two good ones.
Of course, the Note display isn't huge, but I did a few decent drawings on my iPhone with just my finger, so this is a lot better by comparison.
I never got around to trying Draw Something until I got the Note, but now I've got a good addiction going.
I'm kind of torn on some of the images. On one hand, they are spectacular - on the other hand wondering how long it takes to make them. I would love to use the Note & this game to improve my drawing skills (of which I have none of), but I don't want to spend an hour doing a drawing either.
I think the part I like the most is seeing how a drawing is done. There is a screen saved I used to love watching called Drawing Hand (google it) where you watch the artist draw the image using just a basic pen tool and a smudge tool. Always wanted to emulate by learning, but I just don't have the art skill.
Hoping DS will improve my drawing skill some. So far, looks like all my friends are about the same stick figure level that I am.
Is there a sight to see some art done by people, preferably with a way to see them draw it? There a way I'm missing to start a drawing, then come back to finish it later?
BTW - they got bought by zynga (sp) for a rumored 200 million today (!)
If you guys love draw something, and want to post your pics, do so here:

Take a look at the following "article" by Pocketlint in the UK comparing the ipad with the prime.
Very funny read......
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/45050/new-ipad-vs-transformer-prime
1ST: NEW IPAD 3G, lighter weight, better video watching
2ND: PRIME no 3G, heavy, great but missing touch of class
LOL they compare the weight of the prime including the keyboard??
I also like the squeezing in of advertising for apple tv.
"The iPad does claim the win here in the video stakes, though. Its video application is just a lot slicker than Android."
Because android doesn't have choice, and they 4:3 screen is just amazing for widescreen movies.
thanks for the funny read.
Even in death, Steve Jobs is still getting the best blow j** from these fanboy sites!! just too funny!!
P.S. I have the utmost respect for Steve, he was a visionary
This can't be real right?

Actually, I would agree with just about everything they said...from their point of view, that is. There are reasons people buy Ipads, just like there are reasons I prefer an android device like the Prime. I like being able to play any format, and to be able to stream over my network without intermediaries like Itunes and DLNA. They value the simplicity and integration of Itunes and being able to integrate with Apple TV, and they like the added display resolution. I like to have games that look good and run smoothly with a lot of graphical detail, they like a bigger selection and simpler games. I like something heavily customizable, they like simplicity and uniform behavior. I didn't find any of their assertions wrong, just not my point of view.
Comparing the weight of the Prime with the keyboard dock and using that as a negative for the Prime (when by itself it's lighter than the iPad) is a clear sign of bias (or maybe sloppy thinking). If the reviewer wanted to be impartial, he would have tossed in one of the various iPad keyboard dock options and an external battery pack, and included those in the iPad's weight.
I don't consider this an unbiased review by any stretch.
Wow! Lets face it the new iPad, all iPads' for that matter, are the 800lbs gorillas that all other tablets are and will judged buy. They set the standard, for better or worst, simply because they've sold millions of them and people love them. It's fact so don't flame me.
They are not for everyone , me included, and most likely everyone in this forum. But this review was so mismatched that I'm not even going to try and rebut all of it. I will say though if you going to compare products then compare like products.
First I'm pissed my Prime didn't come with the "included keyboard." I thought that cost extra? I'm pretty sure you can buy one for the iPad too. Which one would be easier to throw in the rucksack then? Next is cost. 500$ will buy both of these products and the last I checked you didn't 3G and 32GB of storage for that money on the iPad either. Last point is video. Now I don't know how Apple TV works but I'm pretty sure it's a wireless connection to the iPad to be able to view it on the TV since PL didn't have to "plug it in." Correct me if I'm wrong but could the Prime not do this too? My TV and Windows 7 PCs all have DNLA built in and to this day have of yet to plug any of my Android devices into a PC to get content on or off them or watch stuff on my TV. Samba Fileshare lets all of my Android devices be part of my home network wirelessly. But you know the best part for me? I don't have to install and use that God forshaken **** software iTunes!

Wow looks like yanks like GernBlanston are brainwashed too
It was such a fair review that I had to put my two penny's worth in!!
"The iPad’s extra display resolution does come into play during email. Text is far, far easier to read..."
This was one of the main things that stuck out to me.
Does text look sharper on the iPad? Sure, i'll give you that considering the higher resolution, but I definitely wouldn't say it is "far, far easier to read". I have used both devices and can attest that text and images do look slightly better on the iPad, but the article makes it sound like the iPad display is a gift from God and that the Prime's display doesn't even compare, which is totally inaccurate.
I also didn't agree with comparing the weight of the iPad to the weight of the Prime with the dock. They are so full of it anyways as they claim the weight of the keyboard dock could be the straw the breaks the camel's back when it comes to rucksack weight. If there really is that big of a problem with the weight (which is BS to begin with)... guess what? The keyboard dock comes off!

That's a true display (pun intended) of how Apple can market something and people will consider it amazing in every way.
It's as if people sat around before the iPad3 squinting at the screen and considered reading email an unusable feature on any tablet. As if anyone who looked at their iPad2 said, "You know, if you doubled the pixel density it would make the experience of reading this email so much better!"
Keep in mind the Primes density is 150, the iPad2 is 136 and the 3rd gen iPad is 264.

Yes, we Prime owners are such brainwashed apple fanatics. Whenever I like a device, I run out and buy the competing product. Sorry I suggested that apple might have some attraction for some folks other than me, it must have really hurt your feelings and called for some sort of retaliation.
Seriously, all I did was suggest that Apple had some appealing features...features that I explained didn't win me over due to the Prime's advantages in several areas...and out come the pitchforks. Of course I'm the one who's brainwashed....

Yeah, or when he talks about the ease of sync'ing music and doesn't mention Google Music (or whatever it's called this week) at all.
Nor does he mention how much widgets and 3rd party launchers can customize your user "experience" with the Prime. Methinks the author is an Apple user by preference and doesn't have a clue what advantages Android can bring.
