I went to comet last week to play with one. I am still undecided between this one, the Iconia(which I played with at Curry's), and the Xoom.

Any initial thoughts on the Iconia vs the Transformer as you've had a play with both?

i hv tried the iconia in curry's....looks quite heavier than Xoom (sorry i havent got my transformer yet) and thicker
the touch screen seems to be slower responses than the Xoom as well
but the price of Iconia is good though, with a USB port and HDMI port ...

On the contrary, comparing the Xoom with the Iconia, the Iconia felt lighter - though almost unnoticeable - certainly not heavier than the Xoom.
I felt the Iconia was more responsive than the Eee-pad. The browser on the Eee-pad force closed on me twice in 10mins. I didn't get that with the Xoom or the Iconia.
The design of the Eee-pad I think is the best of the 3. Although I think the build quality of the Xoom is top notch. The Iconia's design is below par IMO.
The USB and mini USB are a selling point for the Iconia. I think I noticed a mini-sd card slot on the side of the Eee-pad. (Can anyone please confirm that?).
The glare I kept getting on the Iconia was almost unbearable compared with the Xoom. The Eee-pad was great.
Same specs, same operating system, if the Eee-pad had a USB on the tablet itself and not on the dock, I would have called it the best of them.
For now, I am at cross-roads.

It's a microSD card rather than miniSD, but yes it is there.

Thanks for that. Noted.
I read in another thread that you have a Transformer already. What is the battery life like compared with the Xoom?
Ragards.

Around 9 hours in my experience - how that compares to the Xoom I couldn't say, but I guess it's probably comparable.

guys comet latest Ship date is the May 3 plus 2 weeks shipping to Kuwait = almost June my local distributer told me he will have it June first thats with warranty and keyboard.
any other sites that sell or ship faster?

Broken :(

Well ASUS.. kiss my hiney
My dear TF700F broke in the screen by the cause of the dock. was about to open it with the dock when i heard a crackling sound...well off to repair.
Got a CID (customer induced damage) and now i have to pay for a new screen and i even have to wait till the end of september till Theres spare parts here i europe...
when i get it back it will be sold...
just my 2 seconds of wommit..

Well thats ****ty but if you live in Europe I am pretty shure that you have a right for a free replacement.
Under European consumer law if a sold product is not fit for the intended use you have a right to get a free replacement/ repair or your money back.
If you actually just opened it normally thats just normal intended use for me and the place where the crack is should support your story.
You can contact the place where you bought the tablet (the vendor not asus the manufacturer) tell them the story and give them a reasonable (~ 2-3 weeks) timelimit for a replacement device.
If they do not send you a replacement within that timeframe you can ask for your money back.
Thats what I would do/try at least.

why is this in the development section?

guess he is just keeping us up to date on "breaking" "developments". see what I did there?
¯\(°_O)/¯

Wow - this is at least the second such incident of a cracked screen that I've heard of that was caused simply by opening the docked tablet... Not a good sign...
Just curious - did you have the dock labeled TF201 on the box or the dock labeled for the TF700 on the box?
Not that it should matter, but that's the next thing that Asus will say - "We told you that the TF201 dock wasn't compatible!"

here is development forum, why do you "develop" the new screen device by yourself instead of purchasing new one?

[Q] Too good to be true?

So after having my TF101 for over a year, it took a nasty fall and became unusable. This was of course devastating, made even worse by the fact that I am about to start at a new school. I have been wanting to upgrade for awhile, but since I bought it with my last paycheck from a job I lost, this has not been possible. However, due to this tragedy, my parents are considering buying me a new one, but paying full price is out of the question. So, I found this site through Google selling a TF300T for only $229, which seems too good to be true. Can anyone say if this is a legit site?
discountinstantly.com/products/ASUS-Transformer-Pad-TF300T-32-GB.html

If it seems too good to be true and is from an unheard of retailer, i'd recommend you avoid it

I read a lot of comic books and the 10.1 screen is perfect for them. Also, I like the convertibility. And of course, the Nexus not having expandable storage is a deal breaker for me.

You can expand the storage by connecting a memory stick/HDD into the micro-USB port by using some cable (can't currently remember the cables name). And there have been rumours of a Nexus 10 coming soon. Anyways 229 is probably too little for TF300 because here where I live the 32 GB one without the dock is 419.

If you can afford it, then, I'd go for the TF700. I downloaded the "free preview" of Watchmen from Barnes & Noble and it was pretty cool, but it was also pretty obvious that on a high-def screen it would absolutely rock. I'm not much of a comics guy, but if I were, that's definitely what I'd do.

I got mine from amazon....it was used like new and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

hell just send me the cash i would at least send you the empty box you would not even get that from them i see them vanishing really quick in the near future

I second this, got my from Amazon, next day shipping, Like new, for 269 I believe just a couple weeks ago. Still had ICS on it (no promise there though) so if I had wanted to retain the ICS bootloader I would have been able to.
I'm smitten with mine, although I really REALLY wish dev. would move forward a little farther.
Nice tablet though! My fiance was able to trade her BS prime in for a brand new TF700 at Best Buy, straight trade even thought we have had it for almost a year due to the issues it is known for. Color me jealous

Belgium??

Hello,
Is there ANY store in Belgium that still sells the tf700t.
almost every store said that it wouldn't be shipped to them anymore
thanks,
noahvt

Conrad.be still has it in stock, but only the tab. Though most stores still sell the Prime dock, though. And you can use that (in fact, in Europe they ship the TF700 with the Prime dock by default; and it has a bigger battery.)

You don't need many ROMs, you just need one good ROM and we have just that right here for the tf700.
I'm from Belgium too and I believe that you should follow the advice of the person above. The TF201 dock is better and cheaper, and you can still buy the tf700 tablet pretty much on every dutch website (and they usually ship to Belgium for free).
Hope this helped

Shield Tablet going to get own forum?

Is there going to be a forum dedicated to the Shield tablet or do we just ask our questions here?

Since you can only buy it from nvidia and maybe newegg right now (US at least) it may take some time before a forum is created. That being said I can almost guarantee that a forum will be started at some point. It may be worth a message to a moderator, instead of posting around this forum,as I'm willing to bet it is already in the works.
EDIT: it looks like it hits Amazon and best buy on August 18. There should be a forum by then.
Shield Tablet - shipped today
VS980 - Xdabbeb 1.2.1
TF300T - CROMBi-ok
YP-G1 - CM11/Impulse
Grouper - SOLD

places to buy the tablet are actually decently widespread. I got mine on amazon and i think bestbuy.com and gamestop.com both have them as well as newegg and nvidia.

I really don't notice the extra length from the speakers. When I'm not gaming it is in portrait and you really don't notice it. Front facing speakers are amazing though.
It is heavier than any tablet I've used and you can feel it if you hold it up awhile. I rest it on my stomach or leg a lot. I had the Google play edition lg g pad 8.3 and this seems quite a bit heavier even.
It is hard to find flaws at this point since it is so new to me and there seem to be no imperfections for me to be annoyed at right now other than nvidia not shipping the cover yet....

Yeah if anyone finds a store with the controller or cover, please post it. I can't find anywhere to get the accessories other than the nvidia store

They have the cover for same day shipping at Frys.com right now. I ordered mine yesterday and it shipped today.
I set up a stock notification for the controller at newegg, a batch came and went there yesterday.

Got mine from amazon on a pre order and received on the 31st. As other have said it is heavier than other tablets of the same size but its not a big deal. The extra length from the bezel is not really noticeable when holding the device and playing games. When you get your device there will already be an OTA update for the tablet. Once I applied that update I rooted my device by using goehot's towelroot from: https://towelroot.com/

Worth mention. I loaded Google Now Launcher (may happen stock too) and noticed any shortcut for an app that was moved to SD disappears when I reboot the tablet. I think this is an Android issue though not a issue specific to the shield tablet.

i know that there is no right answer but , what are the chances of this device getting cyanogenmod support (as CM is mostly known for their work on snapdragons)

Has any one had issues charing to 100%. Also own forum would be great and what version of town root. Thanks.

Cycle your battery a couple times. Drain it to zero and charge to full and repeat. I've seen this on many devices.

Forgive the attempt to get this thread back on topic, but I would like to see the Shield Tablet get it's own forum, too.
I think if NVidia markets it right, the Shield Tablet is going to sell well. It is also very attractive to the xda crowd due to it's features and specs. It may become the next "Geek Badge" (Geek Shield?). It is for me. I think it deserves it's own forum, or at least sections in this forum.
