Last week, I made the mistake or ordering a "bundle" from TigerDirect which included the infinity tablet + dock. The tablet was shipped promptly but the dock was immediately put on backorder - a detail which was missing from their web site which assures that the product will be shipped within days.
The pricing on the order added $23 to the cost of the tablet and subtracted $23 from the cost of the dock. So, if I cancel the dock I'm out $23. I'm not sure why TigerDirect did this other than to ensure that I'd wait for the dock to be shipped.
I would, of course, just like to buy a TF201 dock and save money in the process but TigerDirect has negated that option.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone actually has seen a bona-fide, not repackaged TF700 dock. I've scoured the forums looking for anyone who might actually have one but I haven't seen any reports. I also haven't seen any estimates on when these seemingly mythical entities will be shipped.
Anyone have any insight here?

I would like to know this too. Also, is this supposed TF700 dock actually going to have the same coloration as the TF700? Would prefer for them to match.
Awesome question! I am surprised that Asus has not commented on the seemingly repackaged docks.

At least ASUS has confirmed that there will be dock's in both Infinity colors...but question is when?
Got the dock and it is in the same color.

I actually spoke with Tiger Direct today (same boat & questions). I was told they are expected to ship out later this week say Thursday or Friday. No "official" word we then moved on to the obligatory warranty up sell

Could you post pics? I've seen lots of people saying they have a dock that is the same color but every one I've seen is in fact quite different. Would be relieved if that weren't the case.

Congratulations on getting what seems to be a straight answer. I'm on my third try with them, just asking the "When do you expect this to ship" question.
I assume you probably talked on the phone where it was harder to misinterpret simple questions.
Quick update, received notice my dock has shipped from tiger direct should be here tomorrow. I will give you guys a quick update when it arrives.

Well now my Amazon order for the dock says 2-4 weeks as opposed to the 1-2 months it said before. That's what it said for the tablet to before it became available the next day so hopefully it will be shipping soon! I didn't buy from the other sellers on Amazon because they are shipping out 201s according to reviews. I trust buying from Amazon directly though.
It's supposed to be technically the same as the tf201. Difference is the one for the infinity will be color matched to our tablets. Model wise, it's just a prime dock with updated firmware + color

Don't forget the slightly smaller battery.

Which would result in lighter weight as well, correct? Has the battery size difference been confirmed?

My dock says "TF201" but it has exactly the same color. Can share a photo if you want to. Its the grey one (bit purple).

The battery was moved to the front of the keyboard to help counter weight the tablet. The bigger battery would not fit so went with smaller battery.
Just what I have heard around the webs.
Update: Just received from my dock from Tiger Direct. Ditto on the other comment already made. It's listed as a TF201 but the color matches.

Got my dock today from tigerdirect and it says tf201 all over it even under /settings/about tablet : MobileDock version TF201-DOCK-0207. The box did have a sticker on it labeling it TF700T-DOCK-GR but of course right above it it says Model:TF201Mobile Docking... Wish my brother were here with his prime so I could compare them, but it feels good, doesn't tip over and the color matches. Someone should call and complain maybe get them to price match it down to the tf201 model's 113.00 price tag. Not it.
Got the tf700-dock from office depot.
Box, sticker on the bottom of the dock, and the manual said tf201.
I have a prime and dock as well, the new dock is matched in color to the infinity and only barely different from the prime. They weigh 3 grams less. I suspect ASUS didn't get a delivery from the printer
All I can say is the color matches the infinity, not the prime. Dunno why it says 201 all over everything.
ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700 - rooted/stock
Motorola ATRIX 4G - Rooted/Currently Stock/No longer in use - anyone need a guinea pig?
Motorola ATRIX2 - vanilla
ASUS Transformer TF101 - now vanilla and given to the wife
Really I swear I've had lots of roms on these devices at other times.
hi everyone I bought a tf700t a few days ago and waiting for delivery. I am just wondering is accessories of older products such as prime, tf300 etc
are able to used on tf700t ?
For example, the charger, docking, case and anything can be used on it
Thank very much

Some yes, some no.
Cables seem to be the same. The docks it depends. The TF201 and TF700 seem to be the exact same piece of hardware as suspected by many and proven by craftyhacks here.
To expand on your question, other accessories such as cases and screen protectors may fit or may not. Pick through the accessories section for more elaboration on this. My case and screen protector are both from another device and work perfectly, but others have not been so lucky.
Hoping to get a cost as to what it would be to replace my digitizer on my infinity pad. ASUS wont just provide a price estimate of anything without sending it it. Dont know if its 50 or 5000 and they were useless. trying to figure out if I just go buy a new pad or fix this one. Anyone have this done or know a ballpark cost? Is there anyone aftermarket that has this part? is there anywhere that I can buy it and do it myself?
Doable

Good luck.
Anyone trying to fix their screen will need this helpful information.

Wow!
Thanx so much Darnell for that information!
I saved the link...ya never know when a need may arise.
To bad some of those insides aren't easily replaced (you can probably guess which part needs upgrading)
Hey guys, merry xmas. Iv had my 700 for 4 months and loved every minute of it. I cromi'd it and it runs like a beast. I also have a squaretrade policy.
So, with that bein said i have a two point question. (1) i have a big (big and distracting!!!!) dust particle (not a dead pixel) in the middle of the screen that has popped up recently. I baby the device so it frustrating seeing that especially in the middle of the screen. Iv watched teardown vids but none of them go as far as separating the glass from the lcd. If i do that to clean the screen how easy is it to reaaplyi the glass to the lcd screen. Should i order adhesive first?
(2) if i decide to squaretrade it would they accept dust under screen as a viable reason to service? Also, i leave the country for duty and NEED the tablet in my posesion before jan 7th, is that enough time for squaretrade? I dont want to receive a refurbished hunk o junk from squaretrade as a replacement bc my tf700 is otherwise in perfect condition (no qc issues mentioned in these forums). So will they fix the problem themselves or just replace it?
Sorry for the long post but thanks for everything and merry xmas, happy qwanza and\or whatever tickles you fancy.

Your best bet is to contact SquareTrade and ask them those questions (only they can truly answer those questions).
I would *not* attempt to repair it yourself - chances are that you will end up with a device that is un-usable... It's *very* hard to take the screen apart...
Personally, I'd probably just deal with the dust until you get back from your trip and then send it to SquareTrade.. After all, the TF700 is still fully functional - it's just a piece of dust...

Please let us know what you find out from SquareTrade - I'm curious as to how they respond (I have a SquareTrade warranty as well).
Thanks.

its not easy to take apart the glass from the LCD. Theres a double sided foam tape in between and screen is so thin that itll flex and crack when you try to pull them apart. Definitely go the square trade route or Asus if youre not unlocked.

Hi all...I found this deal on Ebay for an Asus 32gb TF300-B1 (not enough posts to leave a link....google search for "Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE Pad Transformer" should pull the listing in the first few entries).
It seems to have the same specs as the TF300F. Is this the same machine as TF300F and therefore can flash ROMS developed for it? Is this a good deal (it's refurbished of course)? worth the bother? etc...
Thanks for any info you can provide!
OK never mind....

I bought a Refurbished TF300T for the same price on Ebay. Works great for me and in great condition. I would definitely recommend preping to put a ROM on it if you get it, mine suffers from some lag in some of the Chrome/Internet browsers, but oythers have reported it as well. I dont game on it so I can't really comment on that, but for Surfing the web, Netflix, XBMC, Reading...media consumtion...it fits my needs perfectly. Will be even better when I get a clean, stock Rom on it.
Since my TF300T motherboard failed (according to Asus tech) They want $200 to fix it. I found that Fry's is selling a brand new Tf300T for $200. I guess I will have to buy that one as Asus does not warranty their parts or repairs. I just bought a case for my tablet and docking station 2 days before my tablet died. It hadnt even arrived before I sent the tablet to Asus.
Please ignore this. I just went to order and it is out of stock. Sucks. I have a dock, a new case for both, and a great leather case for tablet only. what a waste. Thank you Asus for not caring about your customers.
I was only 3 months out of warranty when it went out. I guess I wont be buying any other Asus components for the computers I buy if they have such low quality customer service.

It turned itself off and never came on. No lights nothing. They said it's the motherboard.

Sounds like the motherboard, except they rarely, if ever, go out like that without some kind of impact. Did you try to charge it? I mean if the battery ever comes loose for example, it evidently cannot turn on.
If you bought a refurbished, all the more reason to open it and troubleshoot. You're in San Diego. If you want, I can loan you a working motherboard without audio so you can try to make sure it's your motherboard.
