"ASUS Transformer Prime may only have gone on sale a short time ago, but the company has already prepared a new model, the Transformer Prime TF700T, with a 1080p-capable display. Set to take on Acers teased Iconia Tab A700 shown yesterday, the Prime TF700T has a 1020 x 1200 Super IPS+ display with Gorilla Glass, along with some changes to the front camera and some of the wireless performance."
Camera takes decent pictures but I feel like a total tool holding this fat thing in my hands to take a picture so I doubt I'll be using it for that except when no one can see me which pretty much means I won't take any pictures with it at all. micro sd slot is not quite recessed enough but I doubt that will be a problem.
Thanks for the info! Cancelled my order and will wait for either the TF700T or iPad3
ICE CREAM SANDWICH UPDATING NOW!!
Just received my tf201 champagne 32gb from amazon, pretty awesome. Trying to figure out how/where to get a dock for this thing. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.
First impressions, it feels well made. A lot of people were complaining online about the build quality but all of the seams are flush and it doesn't flex like my dad's tf101. Wifi signal strength is the same as my droid incredible, but that's not impressive because my apartment is not very large. GPS appears to be locking onto satellites from inside my apartment. Speakers leave a little to be desired, but honestly I wasn't expecting much since the speakers on my laptop are crap as well. Camera takes decent pictures but I feel like a total tool holding this fat thing in my hands to take a picture so I doubt I'll be using it for that except when no one can see me which pretty much means I won't take any pictures with it at all. micro sd slot is not quite recessed enough but I doubt that will be a problem.
Overall, it should be a great travel companion and an excellent travel companion once I get the dock for extended trips. Having essentially a larger, faster version of my phone with some laptop capabilities is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully the keyboard is good enough to write some papers with.

Me too. I have enough tablets to hold me over until the 1080p+ screens hit the market. I need that extra resolution because I like to read a lot of PDFs on tablets.
When did you order it?
My parents ordered it from amazon 12/19
TF700T 32GB $599 - TF700T 64GB $699
TF201 32GB - $499 - TF201 64GB $599
Transformer Prime Dock $149
Cost of 32GB TF700T w/Dock $748
Cost of 64GB TF201T w/Dock $848
Where did you find prices? And thanks for posting.

It's a variant of the Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet, and the most significant upgrade here is a move to a 1920 x 1200 resolution, which looks quite sharp and bright. The rear cover design has also been altered to allow for better GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth performance. It's an incredibly light and thin tablet
Asus has just announced a new version of its highly rated Transformer Prime: the Transformer Prime TF700T. The TF700T will go on sale sometime in the second quarter of the year, Asus says, adding yet another tier onto the company's line of Transformer tablets.
Looks like I'll be waiting until the summer to upgrade my TF1 after all.
Now the question is will the TF700T be compatible with the first gen dock?
I was on vacation the day I ordered mine. Ha.ASUS has had TWO tablet launches and now both times finding stock for the first 2-3 months has been IMPOSSIBLE unless you have quick fingers and have no day jobs.
I ordered the same date too. I ordered on the same date as two people now and both have received theirs yet I haven't seen any activity on mine
That sucks. Originally amazon said jan 26-feb 9 as the eta so maybe you'll get lucky. I'm not sure how or where to get the dock...

For the dock, I ordered it from Amazon and it had the delayed ETA. So just like for the TF201 itself... I went back to Best Buy's website and sure enough it's on its way via BB now. Cancelled the dock from Amazon. The dock's tracking says next Monday. Shipping from BB isn't great, but at least it's in stock.
Definitely a pleasant surprise to get ICS, there was a camera firmware update as well.
Edit: i think the contrast of the screen changed with the update, anyone else?
In a way, I'm glad that Amazon canceled my T-prime pre-order. Now that the higher res screen is in the works and the Ipad 3 is just around the corner, I think the smarter bet is just to wait a few months before taking the tablet plunge... should be a lot more options come this Spring due to competition.

And no the docks are not compatible. The TF201 and TF700T are the same thickness, both thinner than the TF101.
