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of companies in the world and how fast they are moving in research and development, whatever you buy will always be outdated.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.
Since i just read about the Transformer 2, seems like this transformer is already outdated, and i was planning to buy this in a few weeks. Do you guys know any REAL information leading to REAL facts saying that this transformer 2 will come out in september or october?

Truthfully, there are no real facts when waiting for a new product. Dates may and will change.
EEE Pad Transformer sent this
Link to the source?
ive heard from nvidia and asus that this MAY happen and there is no real data
the next asus is said to have the kal-el chipset from nvidia not out till sept or oct with means the next tablet wont come out till even later then that if the #2 is coming out at all soon
but some of the data from the kal-el chip set is that is runs 1ghz quad core but nothing else is know about this tablet so dont keep your hopes up
kal-el will probably arrive as late as Q1 2012
Indeed, I ordered my TF on friday and happy with my decision. If you start waiting the next device, you will NEVER buy one, cause after TF2 is announced (my guess is Q1/2012, plus the wait to buy the damn device), someone will announce newer model, that has something better than TF2 and will come out in next few months. Then you start waiting that too?
Also there is NO official information about the release of TF2!
Just buy TF now!
Kal-el is quad core, but even now only few programs take advance in dual core, and still plenty of power to run anything. Dunno if there is any other new technology in that chip (and bugs)...
Imo the only differences could and would be video performance.But.. what about that additional battery drain?
But then again, what's coming new in icecream sandwich we don't know 100% so maybe a full new layout that could even utlizie desktop apps. Here's something of interest http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/08/02/asus-confirms-eee-pad-transformer-2/ quite small though.
Imo transformer 2 next year, because think about it if they release it now at the same price as transformer 1 many people would be quite mad epically now as it's only just has come to Australia.
I would say "outdated" only when a new has actually hits the market. Not even when officially announced. But even then you would have to compare the price tags. Nothing prohibits Asus to sell a cheaper less powerful model and in parallel a "newer" more powerful one with a higher price.
As bytetemplar wrote there will always be a newer model in a few months time.
So grab yourself some deal (or not, the price is still very competitive with respect to other brands) and start enjoying the TF101 today.
Edit: For the same street price you can now have the HP TouchPad if you wanna go with webOS
The Slider and the Memo were anounced for a very long time now and they are not released yet, so i think that 1 month is to optimistic.

A quote from that article..."Of course, coming months is completely ambiguous"
Just saying.........
Honestly, how long do you think it took them to make the transformer? Consider that Viewsonic had the GTab out a good what? 7 or 8 months before the Asus Transformer hit the market. And a good 4 months before the Xoom hit the market. All things considered, I'd be surprised if we see a Transformer 2 based on a Tegra 3 (Kal-el) before years end. I'd be surprised if we see it before Q2 of 2012. Not only does it take time to integrate everything, you still have to build up the software. They won't be able to just throw HC3.2 (or ICS) on it right away.
I'd be willing to bet, the only way we'd see a TF2 before 2012 is if they used another SOC (ie MSM8xxx or a OMAP4) and already have it in hand and have finished the hardware RIGHT NOW. Otherwise, you're looking into 2012 for a new product.
Like someone else said, if you want a tablet and are considering the Transformer, then buy it. If you want to wait for the next best thing, you'll always be waiting for the next best thing. First you'll wait for Tegra 3, then you'll wait for Tegra 4...etc...Just buy it and use it and be happy. The only time I'll start considering upgrading, is when the TF no longer gets updates (be it from Asus or from the community).
the only transformer that will be coming out very soon is the 3G version, kal-el dev boards aren't easily accessible yet, let alone a consumer device
Asus Benelux says on facebook end of 2011 but probably it will hit us in Q1 2012.
Nice discussion. Im also waiting for Transformer 2, but you are right, just buy it now or wait forever.
Also, do we know when will the 3G version hit the stores??
the big problem with this is waiting after it will be available to buy
u will have to wait more to get good kernel root bootloader hack
and what about new os of android ICS u will wait more to become stable
thats lots of waiting oh and dont forget apps for it and more and more....
right now u have nice thing with all u might need and ready to use
so why wait
tf1 is enuf for most of uses grab one and let other wait
And the delay game begins....
http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/18/asus-quad-core-eee-pad-transformer-2-reportedly-delayed/
Don't worry, with the 3g version only just being released. Expect the transformer 2 to hit the stores around early q2 2012 otherwise Asus won't have enough time to soak up all the sales juice Plus all the angry rage from the tf101 users

Even if I hadn't just bought this TF in late May, I wouldn't buy first-run production of the new one. I learned my lesson on the first iteration -- any more TF purchases will be delayed until all the bugs are out.
Seen as it's almost now November would people recommend waiting before taking the plunge in buying a Transformer, ive done my homework and i can safely say this looks to be the best tablet on the market (ive zero interest in iPad or anything apple related) is there any more information on the horizon as regards the Transformer 2 yet?
Thanks

Just buy the ipad 2. I hear it's the best tablet out there.
Nov 9 is the official announcement date of the TF2. Only asus knows when the official release date (when it's available for the public) will be.
With christmas approaching I am looking for a couple of reasonably priced tablets for my kids. Preferably something with an android os. My wife has looked at a few but I'm worried that we are going to buy a junker. Im a phone guy but know nothing about tablets. Can anyone recommend a decent "starter" tablet.
Well as of now if you are lucky and can get your hands on a couple of Touchpads, that would be perfect, but if you can't I would either go for a Nook Color (easily moddable to full android) if you can get it for under 200 (slower but it has one hell of a screen) or a Transformer or Iconia if you can get either of them for 300 or less.
If it's not strictly an android tablet, go for iPad 2.

There's gonna be a new one every 6 months with minor improvements.
Android will continually be the way to go, especially with sites like this for development.
That said, you can find Galaxy Tab's all day for under 200 bucks... quicker than the nook color...
I've had dealings with the Motorola Xoom and must say it's very snappy and has held up for my brother-in-law for awhile now... lots of accessories.
I fancy the Xoom over most other things...

lol you prefer Xoom over iPad2? let alone any other android tablet? Xoom is by far one of the worst tablets out in the market. In fact, its old as heck by tech standards. Also, iPad releases thus far have been done at an annual rate, not 6 month cycles.
Go for the iPad2. Apple is essentially the tablet market. You really can't go wrong with it.
If you can wait, see what Ice Cream Sandwich tablets will be like in the next few months.
If I were you, I'd wait until the end of the year to make my decision.

for the price it was launched at, absolutely.
- terrible screen
- buggy OS at launch
- lack of 4G LTE support, still none at this point. and its been how many months?
- no SD card for the longest time.

I believe the OP requested a good starter tablet... Xoom is that. It'll teach you want you're doing and what you might be missing and the launch price point isn't exactly how much they are now. I was referencing this tablet as compared to the ipad 2 because he doesn't want a junker but does want something with android and something that they can learn on... You'll find more xoom's on craigslist than ipads for a good price...
secondly.... don't be so literal... the reference to every 6 months was in regards to apples inability to create a product that works out of the box that is stable and reliable before rolling out a new device... furthering my love for the xoom over the ipad... at least with the xoom there is a ton of second-hand support.
I agree with dude above... Steve... you resigned... just walk away dude, just wallkkkk aawwaayyyy

a good starter tablet for android would be the Asus Transformer (if you need inputs) or the Galaxy 10.1 tablet. Galaxy 10.1 is thinner than the iPad2, weighs less, and has Honeycomb on it with a not bad TouchWiz UI.
i'm guessing the OP doesn't want a hand me down tablet, but a new one.
btw, props to Steve Jobs for making such a competitive market in the phone/tablet space. Tech won't be the same without him. As Eric Schmidt said, Steve Jobs is probably the best CEO in the last 50 to 100 years.

Sorry for posting twice, but the dell streak 7 is great priced and will be upgradable to honeycomb, they have not released it yet but they will be doing so soon.

That's not fair, neither it is justified. Each iProduct TRIES to keep up with the latest of the technology. So, unless the OP wants that. He's good with the current iPad2.
Although, I agree, he can get an alternative to iPadn, maybe an android-based tablet which will suit more of his needs. But that is his decision. Leave it up to him to decide.

Whats the next big tablet? 2 months maybe even 6? i may wait 6 months for one.
is there anything great coming?
sell me a tablet plz lol
Nothing too groundbreaking has been announced but if you keep waiting, something will just end up replacing what you just got within a month or so.
My advice is get one of Transformer tablets, OG or Prime, get the dock and have fun.
depends on what os you want. i've heard ipad3 is in the makings. if you want something now though go for the transformer prime. still pretty new with a quad-core. (antutu benchmarks have the tf prime up to 10,000 vs xoom @ 4500 or my TP @ 5500)
Was going through some of the threads on tablets and found out this. Might be of some help to you.
Asus and nVIDIA unveils 7-inch Tablet powered Tegra 3 with ICS for $249
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437590
seems like you're never really on top of the chain. as soon as you buy something, a new tablet will come out shortly thereafter and give you a case of buyer's remorse
just get one which you enjoy
...Or you can wait for the rumored Galaxy Tab 11.6 which has a super high-res display and a dual core A15 soc.
Get a hp touchpad and pop cm7 on it?
If you need one now, I'd either go for the Transformer Prime or Galaxy Tab 7.7(amazing screen). While the former might be more future proof, the latter sure has the edge when it comes to display quality.
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Transformer Prime is the best out ATM, nothing else as good has really been announced.
If you decide to wait for the next great new tablet you may be waiting a while.
I don't think Google will be able to do anything with Motorola for quite a bit of time (possibly even until 2013)
I am definitely interested in getting a tablet but I want to wait for something with native ICS support and high res. I don't (really) have internet at home and plan to use it as an offline, media consumption device. I am the type tho that will keep waiting and never actually buy one because I am waiting for something better.
thanx for the help guys, im still not sure what i would want though.
i was going to buy the transformer, but i want to wait for the second one to be released.
Both will feature tegra 4, 2560x1600,microsd,front & rear facing camera I assume new Asus will be unlockable but nothing is definite-
Do you think Toshiba will have better i/o?
I wouldn't mind a change but I will wait to see how it plays out ?
IF Asus fix the I/O then I think with ASUS pedigree in the Tab market and hopefully strong Dev Community which is already here you'd feel and hope it would be the better purchase. But it mostly rides on the I/O will have to wait nearer the time I suppose.
Is there an a release date with it yet?
Haven't seen a release date, as it may have to depend on how fast they are cranking out Tegra 4 chips. I would go with ASUS based off their past performance in updating devices faster than other manufacturers. But like most, the I/O performance is going to influence the upgrade from those on these forums, or Toshiba or HP may be getting some customers. I would imagine an mid-July early August release for these devices.

You can order june 25 from toshiba direct
The Toshiba 32gb apparently will be $100 less than the Asus. The catch is no keyboard dock option, or steady updates. They also like to use proprietary connectors, so no advantage there. If Toshiba updated more, I would lean more to saving $100. I rarely use my TF300 dock.
I think the Tegra 4 chip is going to be a watershed point and be a near death blow for some laptop segments. The iPad 4 is already causing it and this should be a near final straw.
Edit: Both 32gb models are same price, so getting the Toshiba IMO would make no sense due to lack of updates.

Well not only that the Toshiba has locked boot loaders. Good luck rooting it as it does not seem like even the existing models have support for that.

Well, I hope Asus has learnt from their mistake in ruining all of the good components in Infinity with I/O issues. This, however, makes me wonder what were they thinking when they released Infinity with such a laughable I/O performance. Mind you I eventually sold my Infinity. It was very frustrating to install ROMs one after another just to gain a bit of performance. Despite of loving Android as a mature OS, I am going back to iPad to focus on using the tablet rather than fixing mistakes of greedy careless hardware manufacturers. Are you listening Asus?!

Lol! I am glad you are enjoying it. I get it. Sometimes it is hard to admit a wrong purchase.
Now cool down and read this: If it was not for the great work some of the developers do here I wouldn't keep it for a day. TO name a few, CROMI and CM10.1 really made it tolerable and even great in some aspects. But I cannot blame you for simply being a fan. There are fanboys in all of the camps. Android and apple.

Not a fanboy, I lack a few dangling bits between my legs for that.
I do not regret my purchase at all. I have not noticed much in terms of lag, certainly not as much as people claim there to be. Compared to my GT 2 10.1, which I most certainly do regret buying, it is razorsharp and very smooth.
Maybe others are too proud to admit a mistake, but that is a male ego trait. I have neither pride nor ego, let alone the need to defend it.
All I meant was that it is a little lame to go on an Android forum to say Apple is better.
I bought the Excite Pro, good piece of equipment, some cons ofc but i'm really enjoying it, to bad about support though.
Toshiba is pretty bad for update efforts. My Toshiba Excite 7.7 is an example. Toshiba are also awful with making efficient firmware that does not bleed the battery while in sleep mode. Even with wifi off it bleeds more than most tablets. Wonder if same for the new T4 tablet.
Got the Toshiba Excite Write!
And it looks to be a damn fine tablet. Antutu scored 28k+ and the graphics power is phenomenal. Has built in video and audio enhancements, seems pretty stable on this kernal build, although I expect an update soon because of a couple of weird quirks. The stylus works great (love the eraser by turning over the pen!), but not as developed as the Note 10.1, however, the screen rez is fantastic at 320 DPI and looks as good as the Nexus 10. The rear camera is REALLY great...best I've seen so far on a tablet, and the speakers are clear as a bell with excellent surround sound controlled in hardware, so anything you play gets enhanced. It does get a little warm on the left side under the camera when running an intensive app.
If you have any questions or requests, fire away!
Good day
From where you get toshiba pro or write i want to buy a new one
Thank you

I pre ordered from Toshiba and they shipped it the next day even though it said they weren't shipping till the 18th. I guess they wanted to live up to the Excite part...lol
