this worked for me to get my ATT 920 to allow internet sharing with Straight Talk's ATT service. thanks again for this post. this has been tremendously helpful. if anyone was curious i used an MTNL microSIM that my coworker brought back from India.

Are you using the Intel WiDi app or the Charms Bar > Devices > Project > Add a wireless display I ask because I'm not having any issues with this method extending my desktop to the receiver 10-12 feet away and have never even opened the Intel WiDi app/update tool.

Got my Tap 11 set up last night to use Miracast to extend my desktop with audio and video to my big screen TV. It's a pretty awesome set up with the wireless keyboard cover and my bluetooth mouse. The Netgear PTV3000 works pretty well although I did do a firmware update on it first. I really...

Got mine in last night and the power went out during my download of Windows 8.1 so I'm not fully up and running yet and i'll have to try the download again after work. Like houkolic said the form factor is awesome. I bought it with the understanding that the kickstand would kill all lapability...

if she wants to use Photoshop reliably she needs to stick with a Wacom stylus solution like the Surface Pro or its successor Surface Pro 2. I love my Sony Tap 11 but the N-trig stylus and Photoshop issues have yet to be resolved IIRC.

I had the same thoughts about the Verge review. unhelpful and misleading.

the Surface Pro is the closest thing you're going to find. if it doesn't work for you then find the device you like that works well in your lap and in your hand, then buy a separate wireless keyboard for around the house and at a desk.

awesome. look forward to hearing how it performs given that all i've had my hands on is a Pentium in Best Buy with the stylus but non-functional dual digitzer and another Pentium in a different Best Buy with no stylus. EDIT: My order status changed from Processing to Manufacturing Started...

Any reason the Dell Venue 11 Pro isn't on the list? If you like the current HP X2 have you looked at the upcoming HP Spectre 13 X2? If you're a student, staff or faculty you can get a 10% discount with Sony online and there's a $50 off sale on the Sony Tap 11 through Nov 9 so you could get...

no worries. it didn't read that way to me. i think you might have mistook my 'people love to talk on things they don't know about' as to mean you. i was referring to my Best Buy guy, not you or yours. My Best Buy guy also said they'd be getting Tap 11's in with 8 GB of RAM even though those...

I heard differently from the guy at my Best Buy that the Core i5 would only come later and that seemed to jive with the availability of the Core i3, i5 and i7 model's availability on Sony's website but people love to talk on things they don't know about so who knows if my Best Buy guy was just...

Sadly no. It's not waterproof.

Yep. The build quality of the Surface Pro sets the standard all Windows tablets should be judged against and the Tap 11 just isn't to that level. For lightness Sony opted for plastic and chose flaps to cover the ports which aren't exactly the most confidence inspiring. But the productivity of an...

I'll let you know how Miracast goes with mine. I ordered it tonight and it has an estimated ship date of November 12.

Have you given any thought to a Miracast receiver for your TV? Windows 8.1 natively supports pushing audio and video over Miracast so you can duplicate or extend your computer's monitor wirelessly. So for example here's a video of someone running the Windows 8.1 Preview on the original Surface...
