I've not had any issues with file transfer, but I also don't interface with the tablet using MTP. WiFi has, so far, covered 100% of what I needed. and that's been easy with openSUSE (as I mentioned before, setting up a basic Samba server is pretty simple using YaST, and this is easy to connect to using most every File Manager you can pull down from Google Play (marketplace)).
Plus 1 on Wifi, and never cabling your tablet to your computer. (I have the A500 as well). With ES File Explorer, free in the Android Market your tablet or phone can access Lan (samba) shares, FTP servers, Bluetooth transfer, or some cloud servers (box, sugarsync, dropbox). The one thing I move via physical connection of a USB thumb drive is movies. These are big and take too long, but ES File Explorer can copy them back and forth. As for the Bluetooth keyboard issues, I agree the built-into-the-case looks sweet. But I don't use that (or any external keyboard), finding it more trouble than its worth. I use Swiftkey Tablet edition. It predicts language. No, not as you type the first few characters, but before you even type any characters. It does this by learning your language patterns and adding them to an extensive database of english language structure. These predictions show up as suggestions in the same way other keyboards predict words after you type a few letters, and its uncannily accurate. With the swiftkey on-screen keyboard I can type onscreen faster than I can type on keyboard. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
