muikabochi 208 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Looks like the update is coming around 24th of this month. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have noticed the Snow Japan ipad app hanging about in the top 10 of the Sports section since it went up there. Saw it at Number 3 one day. Is that a Japan-only chart or "all" App Stores? Well done anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Don't know, would be interesting to know. Looking forward to that OS update. I have 5 screens of icons now so want those folders. Galaxy Tab can now be pre-ordered at Docomo Shops. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Seems like you can pre-order it, but they aren't telling you how much will cost! Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, had a play with it today in Yodobashi Yokoham, yet when it come to price. You guessed it. Breathe in through the teeth, and a wakaranai! Link to post Share on other sites

It jumps up n down depending on how many people deletes and then re-install. But the ratings are good. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 17, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 17, 2010 We submitted a new version on Saturday, so hopefully that will be available perhaps early next week if all goes well. Hopefully some of the stability issues some people are experiencing have been almost eliminated.... working on a further build trying to squash out any remaining bugs.

RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yeah, tried to take it for a walk the other day and it kept falling over. Perhaps the app could do with another leg. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 17, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 17, 2010 Is that a joke Rob, or did you actually experience that? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Was a joke. About stability. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 17, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 17, 2010 OK! Some people have been experiencing it crashing in some situations, so we ploughed back all of the profits from the first few weeks on sale and last week spent 4 days or so testing new versions as much as we possibly can to try and eliminate these issues. Strange thing is/was that it doesn't not seem to happen with everyone, but obviously we don't want it happening at all. This is when the "it takes 8-9 days to get a new version online" system really does seem pretty crazy. There is simply no way to quickly "fix" an app. Anyway, hopefully this new version will be all-round more stable for everyone. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Went to a docomo shop today to ask about the Galaxy Tab. Seems they are none too keen on giving out prices, but in the end I got a costing of something like 55000 yen out of the lady. Thats with a "changing machine" discount, she said it should be 60something. So thats more expensive than the ipad. And, she seemed to be telling me that you cannot use a data-only docomo plan with it. It has voice you see, so you'd need to change over to a plan that includes that. And, she seemed to be saying that you can't just buy the machine without any kind of monthly plan. She didn't seem 100% confident with all that lot, so hopefully she is wrong.

klingon 10 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Now heres a question, given the above.... Say I have an NTT docomo tsukaihodai foma data package. And I buy an overseas version of the Galaxy Tab. Can I stick the sim into the overseas Galaxy Tab and use it like that? Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Tried ipad and tab together at the weekend. Instant verdict - ipad is way slicker and better screen size. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 OK I went to a docomo shop today. First assistant told me that my current data plan could not be used on the Tab, and that when I changed plan I would then not be able to use my PC usb thingy or my wireless thingy. After some polite asking of questions - because I was pretty goddam sure she was wrong - I was passed on to another lady who told me that I COULD swap the card around between the dongles/whatever you call them. The only thing that needs changing is the "plan". You would need to pay an extra 780 yen (?) for the "don't use it as a phone but it's a phone" plan. Which apparently is necessary. So on top of what I pay now, an extra 780 yen a month. If I wanted a Tab and also able to use my wireless/pc dongle thingies all on the same Foma card. Phew. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Oh yes the tab will cost 50400 yen. Link to post Share on other sites

Good question didn't ask that one. But my guess is that the other way round, no. Seems this Tab is locked into Docomo the same way as iPad is to Softbank. Actually, even more so because you can't just buy a Tab without a contract. Link to post Share on other sites
