..........ipad 399$
Ipad, what's that?
Oh right the slow apple thing with no flash and HTML 5 a pipe dream
Seriously I love the benchmark of a g3 vs. A bottom line ipad.
3g in apple is double the price
Samsung made that mistake today

I don't think anyone would sell a GTablet for an iPad, that would be a completely idiotic move. It's more than likely they're recouping funds to buy a Xoom, Adam (aka something with a better screen) or one of the many newer Honeycomb tablets coming in March/April...or maybe iPad 2 when it comes.
No iPad here!!! XOOM, baby!
Just read an article that pointed to Best Buy for a new Asus 10 inch android tablet with better specs than our beloved gTabs for $400. And... it's already got honeycomb.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet
Acer Iconia A500
The Asus Transformer is delayed for a U.S. launch now until the end of this month due to supply shortages.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/asus-apologizes-for-eee-pad-transformer-delay-it-wont-detail-u/
I *really* hope they can release it at $400, the recent video preview (Via Slashgear) made it pretty attractive (to me at least).
This is one of the devices I was eyeing. Allegedly it has an IPS screen as well. Anyone who's read my posts long enough knows how badly I want an IPS screen.
Yep, the Eee Pad Transformer looks like a winner to me.

I guess we'll have to wait for someone here to get one in their hands and do a proper review.
If it gets love from the creative folks at xda then I may sell off my second gTab and pick one of these up once it's released to the public.
and im now disappointed in my gtab before i even get it, thanks alot!
hopefully it cant be rooted =D
At this price I'm interested as well. I have a couple of friends who are interested in my Gtablet with the Vegan rom and accessories for around $300. If Honeycomb isn't available for the Gtab by the time this comes out I may make the switch.
Isn't it being released April 6th? 5 days?!?!

Don't be. It's $285 (assuming you are a Woot! user) and this ASUS device has NOT been released yet. It may not show up for a month, or longer.
The GTAB will be dated one day, but that's going to happen for all electronics, it's unavoidable.
That dock (that basically turns the tablet into a laptop) looks sweet! Even though the price for the dock hasn't been announced (at least not to my knowledge) I want it.
Also, the fact the tablet comes with an HDMI port on it rather than relying on the dock is also pretty cool.
It will be very interesting indeed to get the review when someone here can get their hands on it.
If I can confirm this will be available for $400 @ Best Buy next week, I will be putting my gtab on craigslist ASAP and coughing up the $115 extra for IPS screen with honeycomb!

Don't be, man. If you always want the latest and greatest, you will never buy anything at all. Ever. With the number of companies in the world and how fast they are moving in research and development, whatever you buy will always be outdated.
Personally, I think the gtab is good for me for at least a few years.

I'll believe it when I see it. But if this thing comes out in 5 days in my local BB, I will be getting one! This could replace my SmartQ R10.

I would wait to see the reviews. The Motorola Xoom (honeycomb) out of the box wasn't as zippy as our gTabs.
And besides, you got a helluva deal on your gTAB purchase compared to early adopters like me that paid the $400 on them in November/December of last year. Who knows, if you get your gTab and put a custom ROM on it (I'm running VEGAn 5.1.1) you may decide to wait a while before you fork out that extra $115.
I have thirty days to return gtablet to Sears looks like I might do so and get Asus

the only flaw for the gtab is the screen viewing, which im sure a IPS screen would resolve
ill be watching this closely. thanks for the heads up. and with roebeet on-board, the possibilities are endless.
no pressure.
I have a mail box setup for both US & UK i can make any online order from ether country but i can't find it any where online (been Googling for days) can someone link me a website that sell's it?

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.

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.

Just wondering if you have to choose between Asus Eee Pad or HP touchpad? I have just bought touchpad as an impulse purchase, and it does email and browsing pretty well, and that's it. Not a hugh app collection, and there are some intense effort to get Microsoft share working with overclock kernel upto 1.9 Ghz.
I have Viewsonic and HP Touchpad, and always wanted EE Pad, but using Viewsonic version of Honeycomb, touchpad's WebOS is so refined, but lack apps.
Any thoughts?
I think there is some dev groups that work on a honeycomb version for the touch pad so maybe u should wait
And about the eee pad, overall great tablet (and i didnt did root yet)

Thanks. I do have working Honeycomb on my Viewsonic Gtablet, and It works great, but still don't have optimized kernel. I have just started using the touchpad, and I am in love with card system in OS. So ahead of everybody including Apple and Google OS in my opinion.

I have a Touchpad and can relate to your comparison with the Viewsonic. The TF 101 is a great first tablet while the Touchpad is small, light and limited. I am glad to have both, but favor the TF101 for all it's capabiities.

My biggest issue with the Android in Honeycomb/Viewsonic is that email client for Exchange is slow and downright pitiful. I wonder if Exchange clinet is smooth as Touchpad on TF101?
The Touchpad owns it in build quality, sound quality, and OS especially at $99 or $149. I had a Transformer and dock for 2 months and used the crap out of it but sold it because the web browsing was frustrating among other things. Got lucky too and got $539 out of it on Ebay so hardly lost anything. Then ended up getting 5 touchpad at the firesale prices and sold 2 on Ebay for $290 and $250 then another at cost and kept 2 so I basically got 2 free TouchPads.
It's all about the apps, really. Sure, webOS is a nice mobile OS, and I used a launch day Pre for about 18 months before giving up on ever seeing legitimate app support on the platform. The TouchPad is a decent enough device for $99, but you can't really compare it to the Transformer--one's a dead platform, another is just starting out.
I can do much, much more on Android than on webOS. So while the TouchPad makes for a cheap (at the fire sale price) browsing and email machine, I'd not plan on doing much more with it.
My touchpad will be arriving next week. I seriously doubt it will replace my Transformer, but probably my iPad 2 (which I can then dedicate exclusively to games). We will see...
Touchpad vs Transformer
I bought a TP in the 'firesale' and have been very impressed by what it can do. But, and its a big but, I do see Android and my TF as the way to go. The HP machine is sitting in my livingroom. It is really handy just to be able to pick it up, read an email or browse to the news then put it down again. It also is a very good photo frame (logged on to my Flickr account). Not bad for £90.
But if I want to do something useful, like access Facebook, Google Maps, have a look at my schedule, or whatever, then I reach for the TF. With access to the android market and all the apps it has, it is so much more useful.
So,, they can happily live together in my world.

I think the future will be full of tablets in one household... one to replace paper note pads, one to replace your phone (I use facetime on my ipad more than the regular phone when talking with my parents), one to replace a tv guide and remote control, one to replace recipe books, etc... if they come down to the $50 - $100 with minimal hardware specs, they can fill just about any "small tasks". Of course, we will always have our "main" device, which does many tasks, but the idea of having multiple devices to do certain things is a great idea. When I work, I use my TF for office stuff and my ipad for written notes, calculator or a second screen - beats the hell out of paper.

Thanks for everyone's input.. I think there is a place for HP Touchpad and Android Based Eee Pad in my living room. It is incredible OS in my opinion for browsing and email. I wish Android can adopt some of those card like features. incredibly smart.

this should be out before too long (hopefully by end of year--october is what people are saying). TF2 will get this and the price of the original TF will go down while TF2 will come in at $399.
For the price, the Touchpad. Can't go wrong with a tablet that can run CM7 and be overclocked to almost 2GHz for $99. I wish I could find one, every Best Buy in NYC is sold out

Looks bhawss. Maybe I'll just hold on to that $99, sell my TF to my dad (lol) and buy a TF 2 when it's out XD
The TF2 is already being delayed. I wouldn't expect it before Q1 of 2012.

most reports are saying a "month or a bit more" as reported from August. It was suppose to come out Aug 31st but since the Tegra 3 got delayed they are also delayed. Hopefully it'll be out by October - November.
Past experience tells me to not hold my breathe
Unless the TF2 is $399 or less, ASUS would be making a mistake releasing it in the next 6 months. The Android tablet market is not doing well at all and it would benefit manufacturers to keep their products in the market longer, but at a lower price. Tablets are not phones, manufacturers do not have to make ten models a year...

TF2 is suppose to be $399. TF did pretty well in terms of # of sales around 400,000 i believe. either way, TF2 is on the way!
So its my brother's birthday and he wants a tablet. He's been using my infinity when and likes it a lot. He doesn't game, just surfs the net and craigslist, youtube, ect. I saw the Tf300 at gamestop for $299 for the 32 gb version. Is this a good deal for this particular tablet or should I just grab a nexus 7 for him and call it a day...Any issues with this tablet so far?

I bought my 32gb tf300t at Office Depot the day after Black Friday for $299 and in my opinion, it was an AWESOME buy. I was going to get the Nexus 7 but decided against it and glad I did. I have rooted mine, installed a custom ROM & kernel and my tablet is getting better benchmarks that my buddy who has an Nexus 7. OH, let's not forget about the extra 3 inches on the display and extra storage compared to the N7. That makes a HUGE difference too. I'm buying the dock/keyboard for my Asus this evening. As far as I know, the only keyboard available for the Nexus is bluetooth.
I have personally seen and used the Nexus 7. I am very happy with my 10", 32gb Asus tf300t and if I had to make the decision knowing what I know now, I would choose it again over the N7.:good:

So I purchased the TF300T from Best Buy and got them to price match GameStop. GS has a no opened returns on anything, BB has a return opened/unopened till 1/24. I'm sure my brother will like it, but if there are any defects or what not, I rather go to BB. I have the Infinity 700T and love it myself so it'll be nice to get him something comparable instead of the N7. Thanks for the response BTW.

I'm sure that he will like it. The TF300T is a very nice tablet. :good:
The normal retail price I'm not too sure if the tablet is worth it but I got mine 16gb for 282 delivered from groupon and thats a friggin great deal.
Especially when in the UK its over 680 dollars for 32gb
Its a 32gb tablet with a tegra 3 processor running jb. Yea, pretty great deal. That's 100 less than what my wife paid on fathers day of this year
