Is the update for ICS available through the tablet's auto update feature? I am not seeing it. I would REALLY like to fix this random reboot problem. It often gets stuck in a boot loop over night. It's really annoying... :/
As for the updates themselves, I think the changes with ICS didn't warrant the big version jump from 3 to 4. In my opinion, these features should have been included with Honeycomb in the first place.
So what's new? Well, spell check is new. I am one of the worst offenders when it comes to spelling, so these red lines under every other word are important to me.
They also allow you to change the right click button for the keyboard to a menu key. I have never seen it work with any apps, but it sure beats how it was the BACK key before. I was regularly knocking myself out of applications simply because of Win OS mouse habits. I really wish I had more options though.
I still cannot disable the touchpad tapping. Man I hate the tapping. I accidentally tap the pad all the time with my palms while typing. So, I still have to disable the touchpad while typing more than a few words...
You can now make folders on your desktop. Again, this should have been included with Honeycomb. The advantage now is that I did away with the launcher I was using. I still like the third party launcher better, but I want to try and minimize addons like that.
Splashtop still crashes for various reasons.
I like how I can remove apps from the task switcher by sliding them off. The ALT+TAB task switcher seems to behave better also.
That's about all I can think off. I haven't benchmarked the battery, but many people are complaining about obscene battery drain also.
Over all, I like the update. However, I need one more update to fix all this rebooting!
