[Q] Transformer and Kal-El

Yes I know the title sounds like a mixed up comic. But does anyone know if Asustek is one of the ones that will bring out a tablet, Transformer, with the Kal-El, Tegra 3, chip set??
See also thread on Nexus One General forum Project: Kal-El, has link to demo movie.

I'll be honestly shocked if we see a tablet with a Tegra 3 processor before thanksgiving.

[Q] Why always transformer transformer?

Wherever i find a discussion in net or top ten tablet like listing they yell transformer transformer. I dont know what the special transformer has to be top number 1 tablet of 2011. What about our xoom?

If you're referring to the new (soon to be released) Transformer Prime, the specs kill the Xoom across the board, screen, processor, gpu...
And if not, well...sorry I'm mistaken.

[Q] What is the best tablet out there?

Hello,
Am looking around for tablets. What is the best tablet out there?
Tegra 2/dual-core atom or better. Price below 400$ for brand new.
It must be hackable/moddable. Should have an active developer community or open platform.
Would consider Android, Linux and Windows.
Following options are on my list,
Toshiba Thrive
Asus Transformer
Acer Iconia - Tegra version
Motorola Xoom
Am open to more suggestions.

The best available dual-core tablet available is Asus Transformer. It has good community support, and the tablet itself its great.

I'd go for Asus Transformer, just cause it asus!

He said dual core or better so I guess in terms of futureproof, I'll be the guy to offer the Transformer Prime, otherwise, the original Transformer.

I don't think the Asus Transformer Prime costs below $400.

Thank you guys. Yes, prime is 500$ - not below 400$ but I'd be more than glad to pick Prime over the TF101 if you can find me a 400$ deal. =P
But, I don't think Tegra 3 is future-proof. I've been hearing an octa-core is brewing in the kitchen. Nonetheless, sometime back I used to see these 400-500$ Windows 7 Atom tablets. I wonder what happened to them. It'd be really nice if Acer would offer an Ubuntu version of W500. W500 is dual-core AMD x86 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium and costs 500$ but if they make the cut on Windows 7, they should be able to roll out a 400$ x86 Ubuntu tablet.
As of now, am seriously considering Transformer original or Thrive. (Thrive has full USB ports without adapter while Transformer has active dev community. )
And, didn't anyone roll out an AOSP tablet? You know like those developer phones with vanilla Android.

Sorry I missed the $400 part.

Ya asus tablet is nice, all I can afford is nook color running cm7.2
HTC Wildfire S VM "s-off rooted stock Rom"

Best Tablet Out There
Acer Transform has my vote. Or the moto xoom! Android > Apple

Best Android 4.0 tablet out there?

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.
I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.
So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?
Thanks

Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it

I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core

I can't say enough about the Asus Transformer Prime w/ dock. Very high quality device.

Also think the Asus Transformer Prime is awesome!

Don't buy the Prime just yet! Wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Padfone!

Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.
I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,

I currently own a Transformer (original) and I would highly recommend the prime, if it lives up to half of what my transformer does it is an incredible tablet. Also has a good amount of development and is a powerhouse

Try Iberry Auxus It Is Cheap ANd Very Good
Here http://iberry.asia/

has to be asus TF !

I have an Asus Transformer Prime. It is really great. Not only the prestations but also the design of the TFP. I recommend you to consider the Asus Transformer Prime!

Motorola Xoom is the best one I tried so far, with ICS of course.

TF Prime. I have had it for 3 months now. Monster.

One of my friends has the Asus Transformer Prime and it's great.

Motorola Xoom:
Make it a GED and you can't go wrong, just got the 4.0.4 OTA update, it runs so smooth

Transformer Prime is on top right now. and the dock is a MUST have for this tablet.

tablet
if u want for development then try auraslate lifepad

Yeah, the Asus Transformers Prime. Its Awesome.

Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.

T33 CPU

For anyone who doesn't know the tf700t houses the best CPU that there is a 1.6Ghz quad core that goes up to 1.9Ghz on a single core, 1 gig of ram 1666Mhz DDR3 which is also the best, and you get (correct me here I'm not 100% sure) a new GPU to keep up with the new resolution( its clocked at the same speed as the prime ~500Mhz but the GLbenchmark off screen shows great improvements, so maybe new GPU ? Also take note that geforce ulp is a geforce so the architecture is different from all other mobile gpus ( Mali, powervr ..etc) so we may not have seen what this GPU can fully do) hope this cleared out the GPU-resolution problem

The cpu is actually my biggest concern about the TF700. Sure, its top of the line... but what other devices are using it?
The biggest issue I have with my Atrix is that its variant of the Tegra 2 isn't seeing a lot of good developer support. While there's plenty of great ICS roms for tegra 2 tablets, the drivers in those arent usable by the Atrix and as such our ICS roms are held together with bubble gum and fishing wire.
I'm willing to take a chance on the TF700 since Asus is pretty good about updates. ICS was also a huge update over GB, so hopefully now that that transition has occurred we can use older drivers on newer releases. But its still something to take notice of.

I actually like to have an unique product tbh

The kernel allows 1.9ghz but for that you need root. 1.6 is where its at for stock. The I don't think the gpu is different. And I think because all the versions of the tegra 3 have the same architecture so I think you can optimize for all 3 at once.
P.S. getting this tablet in 23 days can't wait.

the gpu is different, you get higher off screen benchmarks score, and when i run antutu it says 1.9Ghz but yeah it may be 1.6Ghz and then 1.7Ghz on one core

The gpu is in fact a different clock speed at minimum. Also the momory on the t33 chip is much faster
