With a release date of 12/19 Asus is going to be hard pressed to get enough units out in time for Xmas demand. The hype is strong and the reviews generally good. I'll wait till after the holidays probably before trying to get one.
Looks like it is happening all over. Also..there is an update on Anand about the Wifi isuse he had. Interesting results for sure...
That's the only thing I hate about this prime...it's like a repeat of the first transformer. I could find one no where and ended up buying another tablet. I hope Asus plans ahead this time and properly anticipates demand. Also, I hope vendors don't try to take advantage of customers by over charging for this device (not that I will fall for that nonsense).
It's called manufactured demand. Asus is limiting supply on the Prime just like they did for the first model to drive interest/hype. With the first one, they blamed the earthquake in Japan on part supply issues. Then we found out later all the parts were made in Taiwan -- a questionnable PR move from a "moral" standpoint, but it gave them an excuse for the lack of supply they were intentionally causing and likely bought a few sympathy purchases. "If I can't get one, it must be good, right?" Etc, etc.
Don't worry, as soon as demand has peaked (probably right after Christmas) Asus will flood the channel.
Good to know my x201 has no resale value whatsoever.especially when I got X220 tablet for $800 something.
Yep. Sad. I got my pre-order in, so I can just wait. Never know....if the wait the game wrong, I might end up canceling.
I just did... With all the traveling i'll be doing around that time of year, i'm not sure where i'll be to greet the UPS guy. I can wait. Besides- at a $499 price tag, they're going toe-to-toe with the iPad which has considerable traction with consumers- yes, we all know that the Transformer is the superior product in the lineup, but we're not the average consumer- after the initial surge of geek preorders, I'm suspecting interest will taper off a bit and the price will drop. Wishful thinking? Maybe

I paid more than three times that. At least I have the peace of mind that comes from knowing they'll replace it if I run it over.
Are we even going to see an ICS device in the US in 2011? Google sure knows how to totally fuck up a product launch. If they knew their hardware partners were not ready, they shouldn't have announced ICS when they did. This is just like their online services which are perpetually in beta.
Rumor mill says this thing might come out next year due to Wifi issues. Honestly sick and tired of Asus constantly delaying this thing now, might as well wait 2-3 months and see what the iPad 3 has to offer at this point...
With the tablet market anything you buy, Apple product or non Apple product, it will be obsolete in less than a year.
With the tablet market anything you buy, Apple product or non Apple product, it will be obsolete in less than a year. I can see this going on for quite a while especially since Apple now has some decent competition from the Android sector. This is all good for the consumer of course.

I can't seem to find the keyboard dock any where for sell in the US. I know Amazon.De has/had the Transformer Prime available for pre-order with keyboard dock included in both colors and SSD sizes.
Also, here are the links for the keyboard docks

I have a question for those with a previous Transformer or any of the other Android tablets. One of the things I plan to do with my Transformer Prime, assuming it is ever released, is stream videos off my network to it. How would I accomplish this in the current Android Tablet scene? We're talking everything from 1080p MKVs to .m2ts to 480p AVIs and alot inbetween.
I was under the impression that there was now a VLC version for Android but that doesn't seem to be quite the case now that I investigated a little bit. I know with an iPad 2 I could use VLC Streamer and it's not the absolute best quality or speed, but it works and works well for my iPhone.
In a perfect world it would work just like it does on a PC where I browse network shares and then load the video. I would hate for this to be a pipe dream, otherwise I might spend the money on something else.
For those interested, just received my Amazon order update on my 32g champagne pre-order with shipping soon with an expected delivery date of December 21.
