I was a little bit disappointed that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I struggled so much to login the first time using my Google account (mandatory to use the tablet). After many attempts, I could login using the browser interface (and not the native interface)<\/li>\n<li>During these attempts, I tried to change the keyboard layout, and I found myself stuck in the keyboard configuration because the button \u300cback\u300dis not present at this stage (what a stupid bug). I had to reboot to try again.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Nexus 10: file transfert is a pain\" href=\"http:\/\/fabsk.eu\/blog\/2012\/12\/07\/nexus-10-file-transfert-is-a-pain\/\">Transferring files<\/a> using MTP (official way using USB) or FTP (limited by the wi-fi bandwidth) is super slow. Using ADB gave a descent 5Mo\/s, but come on, using a debugging tool for such a thing is a shame<\/li>\n<li>Charging the battery takes forever if you are using the device (I even wonder if it is charging at all).<\/li>\n<li>The autonomy is not impressive<\/li>\n<li>No cover is present in the package (my EEE-PC had one for a smaller price)<\/li>\n<li>I had a complete freeze after starting Chrome once (I barely use it), and I am not the only one<\/li>\n<li>These random reboots, grrrr (lost some work)<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes, the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/android\/issues\/detail?id=39951\">automatic time sync<\/a> get wrong by exactly 10 minutes, and the only solution is to disable it<\/li>\n<li>Some apps look really ugly on a tablet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now the good points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Android 4 is really nice to use, not perfect, but really nice<\/li>\n<li>Always very responsive, it doesn&rsquo;t feel like a computer or a phone but like a physical object. It always reacts immediately. That is so great not to have to wait (well, excepted for network comm). On my (fast) PC, if I start Kate, I have to wait a few seconds (wait for a text-editor to start!?). On my Android phone, switching from an app to another is sometimes slow because of the lack of memory.<\/li>\n<li>Even Firefox is fast (on my phone its start-up is slow)<\/li>\n<li>Does not come with crap like Facebook or trial apps you will never use<\/li>\n<li>The screen looks sooo great<\/li>\n<li>Voice search is fun (even if it doesn&rsquo;t always work well)<\/li>\n<li>Using voice recognition (not) to type is also fun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was a little bit sceptic at first, but I may become one of those who use their computer once in a while. Well, I will still need it to edit my Anki packets, type long emails, edit Openstreetmap, order and edit my photo, write code and things like that, but I have to admit that for the rest (browsing and reading, listening to music,\u00a0 endless watching pointless streaming video) the concept is fantastic (thanks Steve).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a few days of use, I can say that the Nexus 10 is quite a nice device.
