G tablet for $280 shipped at Amazon Gold Box

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/

Here's the direct deal link for later (since the goldbox page will turnover in 24hrs)
amzn.com/gb/A3BWIOFSXKB0OY
Same price $279 as the Woot deal (they even say it's from them - which makes sense since Amazon owns Woot now)
I'm just astounded at how many of these Woot seems to have gotten their hands on - the woot sale supposedly garnered >10k purchases... in 1 day.

It's not supposed, they actually listed the number of sales (as they do all their sales): 10452
Going through the forums for that, it seems that woot was selling the Gtablet from a vendor (probably overseas as their English wasn't great in the woot forums).

It is actually a better deal than the Woot deal I got.
This one qualifies for free shipping saves you an additional $5.00.
It does list the tablet as sold by Woot.
I am pretty happy with my tablet so far. The only down side I've seen so far are the posting about support from nvidia and us merchant.
Woot must have gotten a huge inventory on these tablets.
Don't know if the large number of users plus a portion of the new Xoom tablet is going to alter nVidia's direction.
Andrew certainly stirred up a bit of discussion that needs to be clarified. There's a new post on techeye.net an hour ago talking about Tegra 250 Development Kit. I am too new to post a link here.

Add another 1300 for the Woot Off and it's 11,752. I wonder how many Amazon will sell today?

VS and others emptying the shelves of this device. Guess a device that can't go past Froyo due to no support for updating the Tegra processor by the manufacturer is doomed. Still enjoy modding it with all the ROMs out there. Wonder if the price will get to $199 ever?

This is still up for debate. With the crap-storm of bad publicity they got the last few days and their 'clarification' on their stance on what 'Harmony' means, there may be a possibility that we will get hardware accelerated drivers from them yet.

I bought one earlier today. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I couldnt pass this deal up, gtab here I come....

[Q] Where did you find your Transformer? (US)

As many of you guys know the Asus transformer came out today in the us. But i cant seem to find one! I've called all the bestbuys in my area, none of them have even heard of it, or have any info in their systems. Amazon and most other online retailers are sold out already. Where did you guys find em, if you did.

I bought two of the TF101-A1 (16GB version) at Fry's (they had 3 total) and I placed an order at Walmart.com at like 1am, which is supposed to be here tomorrow. I haven't been able to find a docking station anywhere...online or retail.

I managed to snag one of the TD bundles yesterday morning. No luck on any keyboard docks though

You need to be a materialistic individual to be able to stay up all night waiting for the Web sites to post the ASUS Transformer on their site at 3am only to have the entire stock be sold out in 3 minutes. I guess some people do not have jobs. So now you just wait like normal people and wait for the new shipment to arrive. I would recommend you pre order one. This is troublesome to know that this happens when something new is added to the market and people must have it now! In a month you will probably see a lot of them end up on EBay as the next new tablet will arrive and they will all have to have it now!
Good Luck

Yeah, please the thread clean and on topic guys, what does it matter to you if someone sells a device to get another?
thanks

Damn it! So I went to Fry's because I thought they would atleast have it...
They also had no clue bout it... I feel like Asus left Illinois out of the loop...
And now the tigerdirect link is sold out too! Just my luck.

got mine from amazon and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
hope you all get yours soon

you can try your luck on B&H since its a jewish holiday their store is closed and are not doing any online service til 9pm of today and the stores are not open today as well. you can check their website or go to the thread above to find the link.

They're hiding all over this planet so I had to go all the way to Cybertron to get mine.
jk, jk
I'm waiting for a brick and mortar store. I don't want to have to deal with mailing it back or waiting to get my $399 refunded in case I don't like it. So yeah, if anyone finds it at an actual store (target, walmart, best buy, other popular nationwide chain) please PM me! I have 2 weeks from yesterday till I can't return my Iconia Tab for a refund anymore.

Ordered mine at B&H at 9:00pm sharp, saved the tax and free shipping. If I don't like it ill sell it on Craigslist or ebay.... now just gotta play that waiting game

Ordered mine on BestBuy.com last night between 12:30 and 1 am or so Pacific time, after failing on a number of other sites (missed the mad Amazon dash).
I couldn't actually find the product on BestBuy's site at that time via search but someone had posted a link on the preorder/retail thread that went to the direct order page.. followed the link.. it worked! Added item to cart, chose next day shipping, was expecting to get some sort of out of stock message at some stage of the order process as had happened on a few other sites, but it worked all the way through... Got confirmation email a few minutes later, shipping notice this morning along with a tracking number that UPS now confirms should arrive at my home tmw before 3pm.
Unfortunately the keyboard dock seems to be basically vaporware at this point, and that's a big motivator in why I picked this tablet so I hope I can buy one prior to June but it is difficult to tell if that will be possible since ASUS is doing a horrible, horrible job of communicating actual availability.

Ordered from Amazon 12:00 am on launch day. Received it yesterday!

[Q] Anyone received bundle (tablet+keyboard)?

Quick poll to see if anyone has received a transformer+keyboard after ordering or pre-ordering. I'm waiting on Comet, but having missed the £55 keyboard offer, I don't want to cancel, buy a keyboard-less tablet elsewhere and then get stung for £100+ when it's released...

Not recd yet :-( dont think will do until at least 15 may in the uk

swazpurohit, you voted that you have received it, you want vote #2
Where have you heard the 15th May date from?

Well this is a waste of time at the moment as no one will have a dock shipped to them until mid May at the earliest. That's according to Asus.

I thought it might be a bit earlier than that. In response to a question on Twitter about keyboard availability for those who got in on the special 'early adopters' deal, Asus UK wrote:
'We believe end w/c 2nd or early w/c 9th May, depends on whether Bank Holiday w/end delays internal freight forwarding to stores'
I'm optimistic for the end of this week, but knowing Asus it could be several weeks away before we see the docks..
edit: misread the Twitter thread a bit, actually was in response to a question about the tablet bundle (tablet + dock) being available to buy in store in the UK. Since Asus said their first priority is to clear the dock purchases for the early adopters, I'm assuming those of us who ordered through that deal will get them roughly the same time if not a little earlier.

I ordered my bundle last week (26/04/11) from the car-phone warehouse. I phoned them on Thursday to chase up the status of my order and they told me that they have tablets in stock but no keyboard docks. They're expecting Keyboards in on the 3rd of May and will be fulfilling orders immediately so I should expect my order to be delivered on Wednesday the 4th.
-cyph

Well the lack of any email confirmation from asus after i paid via bank transfer didnt fill me with confidence. I'm not in a rush to get the dock, although it would be nice to get it sooner rather than later of course. I think I'm in the same boat as everyone else in this regard. Anyways as far as info goes, I've not seen what you have on twitter.
I'm sure it will turn out that a few people wont get their docks, even though they pre-ordered and did the dock offer. At least, I have a bad feeling it will turn out that way, and I'd rather it wasnt me.

i didnt even think about the non confirmation of payment after i sent a bank transfer... does seem a bit strange. Im hoping the dock willbe with me soon.

din't receive any reply from Asus after sending email to them asking for the keyboard offer

Time for a bump.
Anyone received a bundle/combo yet, or are those talking about keyboards people who bought it seperately for $130(£?)?

Anyone recieving a keyboard but has decided or wont bekeeping it please get touch

Hp Touchpad Info from Best Buy

Hey guys, I work for Best Buy and I thought I would post here just to give anyone who cares a little bit of an update. As of this morning, we were told to pull all the HP product and ship it back. Then, we got an email (not sure if it was just our district or not) that said we could sell them for $99 and $149 respectively! So we did, the 16GBs sold within 2 minutes and the ~20 or so 32GBs we had were gone in less than 15 mins. What kinda sucked was that I wanted one, but you couldn't buy them if you were on the clock When we were notified that we could sell them around 4:45PM, as many employees that could took their lunch and bought them and the employees that were leaving at 5PM bought the last of them.
As of right now, we aren't supposed to get any other stock in and any shipments we would have had are getting sent back to HP. We (Best Buy) has a very good relationship with HP so they don't have a problem taking them back and selling them.
Some stores may not have gotten the notification that they can sell their remaining stock yet, but hopefully they did. You may have a hard time finding one, but good luck! If you guys have any questions on this, I will try to answer as best as I can.

remain 99 dollars?

Sorry, I edit my post to include that. Yes, $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB.

I hope you get one viper, would love to see your rom on it when they port android to it

I tell ya...it's been a pretty convoluted event with this Best Buy B.S. At one moment they say they will ship all TPs back to HP and then the next moment they are selling them off. I actually got one yesterday morning for the full price and waiting for it to go on sale. Then Best Buy reports they won't go on sale. So I return mine for a refund yesterday after the report. The people at the store confirm they won't go on sale too. Then today they go on sale and are already sold out.
That's BB for you.

Well I have the Transformer now bug would love a Touchpad, my dad bought one but he doesn't know if he wants to keep it or not so I will take it off his hands if he doesn't. I tried to but one yesterday but you had to be off the clock which sucked.

Yes it was screwed up. They are sending the rest back but they were under a lot of pressure to sell what they had in stock. Even worse is that if you bought it from BB before the price drop, they won't match it. And our store told us that people could not return them if they bought them at the sale price.

Sorry, I thought this was different enough to warrant its own thread.

I am confused...

Seriously, what the hell is going on with this tablet and it's release date?
I check these forums every day for months, and I just had to make an account to ask this. I see everyone ordering from overseas, the release date was supposed to be July 14th in USA, well what gives? It's July 25th and there is NO WORD ANYWHERE.
I am getting pretty frustrated so if anyone can give me a reason why there is no date set yet, or why Asus is being so god dam secretive about it like it is the most important thing in the world ever. Also concealing a release date offers no benefit to Asus. This is dumb as ****... /endrant
Anyone have any info yet?

A quick search of the forums will show many North American stores have been selling it since ~16th of July. You can order it online through many of the American retailers (B&H, Tiger Direct, Amazon, Best Buy).

I've had my TF700 & dock since last Thursday! I ordered it on Monday from Office Depot (online).... I guess you just weren't looking hard enough!

Hey, I live in the US and I've had my Infinity for a week now. Got it from a domestic vendor too (newegg, specifically). It's out, trust me, just really in high demand and hard to find. I was lucky enough to place an order when Newegg just got a shipment in, and it was sold out within an hour.

continued ptedsel
Distribution of this tablet is trully wired. At the begining of June, I read that tablet will be aviable in England in late August.
I was very suprised, when I saw Infinity in shop in Poland. I did buy 64GB version with dock on 29 June without any problems.

Keep in mind we are a international community here at XDA. Mani are purchasing from outside the states sources because they are also out side of the states. You'll still have a little trouble getting your hands on one in store, but I ordered mine from amazon two days ago and it will be at my door today when I get home from work (I hope).

You can use the website http://www.nowinstock.net to see availability of the device in the US. Great resource for finding some of the hottest tech products.

Hey, thanks for the quick responses everyone. I have been avoiding ordering this online as I have had many problems in the past ordering devices online. Looks like I have no choice then...
Amazon has always been decent to me, I would try them except it says it would ship within 2 months....More waiting yay!

Can't be to hard to find. I ordered and got mine from best buy last week and decided I want one more so I called best buy here in Idaho yesterday. They said they would have 95 units in store this Thursday. If you look at LA California BB stores they all have been in stock since last Thursday.

Yes I see Amazon has the 32 gig in stock, but I wanted the 64 gig...
If anyone finds any 64 gig infinity in stock anywhere in America, I'd really appreciate you posting it here , thanks. As far as I can see, there are no 64 gb units anywhere in US.

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C...43255117&sr=8-2&keywords=transformer+infinity
$20 more than MSRP, but the C1 is the 64GB flavor.

I actually just ordered both the 64 gig grey pad and the dock for $750 total from Newegg. Both should be here Friday.
Get em while you can people!

so, it is available and can be bought
No need for this thread then
