Nope nothing been released yet.
With all the bad press the prime and infinity got it wouldn't surprise me if Asus don't do anymore high end tablets for a while.

That sucks they're the only tablet maker with speedy consistent updates.

I'm willing to bet the successor will use a Tegra 4 SoC. From the articles that I've read, this would mean a release date around August.
I don't think the Infinity is getting the bad press that you think. Sure it has its faults but every product has some sort of fault. It's still rated as a top Android device and aside from the annoyance with the memory used, many people love their device. I really enjoied my Prime but the issue with BT audio made the tablet useless for my purpose of portable media.
I'm not really finding bad press about the tablet other than disgruntled owners who post on forums.
Keep in mind too that ASUS has been busy building and selling the Nexus for Google, Add to that the two new devices, the PadFone and the FonePad that BGR is talking about and you see they have actually been doing a lot of new devices and getting good press for them.
I'm just scared the next one won't have a tegra 4. I've bought too many tegra games to change to a different soc

Just read an article about the Transformer and it seems like a pretty solid device.
I was just wanting some opinions on how you guys think it stacks up against the almighty Xoom.

I have heard some people feel the screen is superior on the Transformer but the build quality is not as polished the Xoom. The lack of a standard micro USB is also a turnoff for me.
A lot will hinge on how Google deals with the Xoom over the next few months as a "flagship" device.

I'm in the market for a tablet but am uncertain of which one of the 2 I should get. What do you guys think?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
The Galaxy tab is the better of the two but i would really recommend you spending the (maybe) extra $100 and getting a Transformer Prime, it's the thinnest and most powerful tablet of the market
xoom, but wait til xoom 2 comes out, it will be amazing!
Looking at the transformer right now...
When is the xoom 2 coming out?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
The Xoom 2 is already out. It's called the Motorola Droid Xyboard in the US, and the Xoom 2 everywhere else in the world. The Xoom 2 is NOT a Google Experience device like the original Xoom was. It's full of Motorola and Verizon bloatware and I believe it has a few UI customizations too. It's not stock Honeycomb.
If having a Google Experience device matters to you (meaning having all the latest updates and using Android in vanilla form as Google made it), then get a Xoom. If that doesn't matter as much to you, then get a Galaxy Tab or an Asus Transformer Prime.
I personally have a 4G LTE Xoom and love it.
That's actually very good information... thanks for that...

Depends, When your being attacked by a man for what ever reason, which tablet would you think will be able to knock him out and still be usable?
Durability is my #1 requirement when buying a tablet.
The Xoom is only a Google experience device if it is sold in the states otherwise it's a tablet that's a few versions behind.
The transformer, while not a google experience device it is really quick on updates like it gets them within a month-ish of being released. That may not seem fast but it has consistently been the most quickly updated tablet and the only skin on it is changing the look of the buttons on the device.
Vote for Galaxy tab

+1 for the Galaxy Tab. I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. The only downfall that I can point out is: 1) No USB port, 2) No external memory.
But hey, if you have dropbox, or a wifi connection, USB isn't needed. And just make sure you get enough internal memory to last you.
+1 for the Galaxy Tab.
Compare the specs and hardware of the Xoom against the Acer Iconia , more bang for the buck with Acer, and you can find them for $250 ish
I like how the movies play more in a wide screen format compared to the Ipad and Xoom...and XDA does have pretty robust forum.
The Iconia does beat the rest on port selection; its left edge is home to a 3.5mm headphone jack and a mini-HDMI port, while the right side holds full-sized USB and Micro USB ports. Under the port cover on the top you'll find a MicroSD card slot, taped-over SIM card slot, a rather stiff volume rocker, and a rotation lock switch. The USB 2.0 port is certainty a bragging right for the Iconia,

Also, faced with the same question, my money went (today) on a Xoom. My wife's playing on it right now, while I post from my ancient dell latitude running Ubuntu. It's not even the latest ver of Ubuntu. What's up with that?

Xoom. I tried it in a local store yesterday and I loved the pure Google experience. I also tried the Xoom 2 but it had Motoblur including all the icons which made it look bad in my opinion. I'm the type of person who likes the pure Google experience. The Galaxy Tab is too similar to an iPad in my opinion and I don't like Touchwiz either.

The Galaxy tab is the best tablet
I like reading A LOT, i have 4GB of epub book on my sensation ( the average book is ~1mb so do the math how many titles i have)
Now the 4.3" screen on the sensation aint quite for reading, im looking for a tablet, which one do u recommend (mostly for the reading aspect, so a screen in probably most important, given the fact that i will be looking at it for a long time)
P.s kindles arent for me, id still like to have a powerhouse( asus, g.tab, xoom, ipad, jetstream etc)
So what can u recommend me?
P.s the htc reader app is hands.down the best

Nothing worth that price. If you don't mind the screen size... Grab a nook color or something. They're going for one hundred shipped. Or get a regular asus transformer.

He said powerhouse, not trash.
Get the Asus Transformer, since its mostly for reading, dual core is more than perfect. Handles movies and music very well too. And the keyboard attachments is amazing.

I think the htc evo view/flyer might be a winner. I haven't used it but I've been searching around for a while and waited for the htc flyer. then changed my mind according to reviews. however, there is a large customer base that love the htc evo view for note taking and reading especially. With the price drop to about 280 its definitely a steal or grab a used one for cheaper. I just bought it from an xda member on here waiting for it to arrive.
Then maybe in a few months maybe get another tablet or see what the ipad 3 looks like.
The htc jetstream i hear doesnt work as good as the view fyi.

For reading, the iPad 2. I have one and reading on it is a joy, especially now with iBooks 2.

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.

Awe toche couldnt have said it better myself... lol. I would with the Transformer, I would wait though till they release the revised version of the Prime. All kinds of GPS issues and what not plus it going the same price as the original Prime. Or you could wait for the Asus MeMo.
If you find a deal on Lenovo K1, grab it. Can be rooted, and powerful,
with reasonable price. 1280X800 resolution.

Toshiba Thrive
Bought a Toshiba Thrive for my wife. Of course I use it more than her. It's wonderful. Dual Core processor, Nivedia graphics, 10 inch screen. Very fast, responsive. Plus you gotta love having HDMI out, USB ports. Rooted and it becomes even better.
iPad 3 releases soon?
I like the power of Android Tablets and I like the Asus Transformer; how will they stand up to iPad 3?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus - I own this tab and it's perfect for reading. Just the right size for holding with one hand and very light. 10" tabs are too big for comfortably holding and reading for long periods. This tab also has great specs and is very responsive. I've had no issues running any apps or games on it.
Read the reviews.
I love my Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reading - powerful enough, is light as hell, and has a better screen than any other tablet available at the moment (just put it next to anything you like and the difference is obvious).
Plus its reader sized and will fit in my jacket pocket/jeans back pocket.
I've heard the galaxy tab is pretty damn good, but yea like others said Asus prime is pretty good
Ah dammit now.. i hate so many choices -.-"

I own an iPad 3rd generation and I am extremely unhappy with what Apple just did. I am however happy with my iPad (even tough I cant stand the iPhone and wouldnt trade my HTC One X for anything else). My experience with Android tablets isn't great. I played with the Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 and it sucks big time and the Nexus 7 is too small. The Transformer Prime TF300 sucked I find; a couple of friends have it and found it laggy and buggy (I got random reboot only looking at pictures. Maybe a custom rom can fix that?!)
I want to basically sell the iPad not because I am not happy with it but because I am fed up with Apple. What would be a good replacement for my iPad?
-I want retina display aka high DPI
-Smooth
-10"
What is out there that I missed?!
Asus transformer pad infinity. Seems to be what you are looking for.
Samsung (Google Nexus 10) potentially being released in the Android event in 4 days. It will supposedly have a higher dpi than the iPad 3.

Thank You and Thread Closed
How well has the TF700 held up in the past year? I've heard of its lagginess, but I'm willing to add CROMI to it, which I hear improves its performance dramatically.
I'll be using this tablet for media consumption (music, streaming movies/ shows, movie file playback, etc.), eBook reading, general web browsing, and the occasional GBA emulating.
Basically, I'll be looking to have this tablet for at least around a year before I upgrade, so should I look to the TF700?
Asus will release a new gadget soon. If you can wait some more weeks.
Otherwise, both are very good tablets. I really love mine.
If I can bought another one, definitely I'm going to Xperia Z. Take a look. Seen to be very good one.
My best advice is that you should wait for the upcoming Transformer Infinity with Tegra 4, it will outclass both the Nexus 10 and the tf700 in terms of hardware. Nevertheless, if you need to get a tablet now, and since you mentioned GBA emulating, I would recommend the tf700 because it has this really awesome thing called the keyboard dock. I don't know how easy it is to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the Nexus 10, but on the tf700 with the dock, you can map all the on-screen virtual buttons to the hardware keys on the dock when you run those GBA emulators. How awesome is that? Running GBA games with real buttons is a joy.
Other than that, the Nexus 10 is obviously the faster device. Just my 2 cents.
I would just wait. The next generation of tablets are right around the corner.

I would definitely just wait. The Transformer has some pretty bad problems with performance due to poor I/O speed. So, if you were going to get one right now, I would get the Nexus 10.
Wait to see what the new one is going to do.
