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.

It's a microSD card rather than miniSD, but yes it is there.

Thanks for that. Noted.
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.

[POLL/Q] How many Transformers have made it into peoples hands

There is a lot of speculation on how much stock Asus have shipped out to various suppliers and how much is making its way into peoples hands. If you have received your Transformer could you take a second and vote on the poll.

I managed to get mine through Comet in the UK (13th April) - without the keyboard dock, of course.
Edit: Ordered the dock from Asus through their keyboard offer.

Comet on the 6th for £351. Dock ordered for £54 from Asus

Hiya is there a link to buy the dock from asus?
Cheers in advance

I just opened mine... Wow, the pictures do not do this device justice. Its just awesome in person, and feels very light.

Snap, i got mine this morning too and im loving it!

Finally got one. A little disappointed. If nothing else is it too much to expect Google to release a market where I can expect the Android Market to be able to install apps all the time. Instead is seems to hang waiting to install about half the time.

[Q] Chance for asus to release a North american bundle?

I have been waiting to get a tablet for a little while now and the transformer seems THE one (appart from the fact it sold out in only a night....) So i am only wondering if i should actually go and get it from ncix (i'm in canada) and save one tax, the thing is, they are all on backorder... So i were wondering what is the chance that A: asus release a bundle with the dock (definately gonna get the dock) B: a super tablet will release before asus can replenish their stock.... I have seen lenovo want to release a tablet but it seems a long time before it hit NA and didn't made an impression on me (and will probably be 100$ more). Also, does the new tegra 3 (kal-el?) are coming soon or will i actually have plenty of time before it get on the market?
Thanks! and sorry if i just shoot questions after questions....

when its got to do with tech the best advice i can give you is, if you see something that interests you and the price is ok with you, then buy it. there's always going to be something better around the corner, and something else that's about to get cheaper... if you wait... you'll wait forever.

Just to give you an idea on tegra 2 guestimates, tegra 2 got released a year ago and only just is getting put into consumer electro

Ok think that just got the kal-el out of the way... now the bundle.... is there any word or was it just speculations?

If you buy the transformer dock it will be good with future transformer tabs according to Asus.

Thanks, think the best thing is actually wait for the docks to at least be available somewhere then maybe... Guess since then all the problems should be fixed

[Q] Which Transformer?

Hi,
Can get a TF101 for 270 euro or a TF300 for approx 350?
Which do you feel having had experience is the better purchase value wise?

Decision Decisions...

It's really simple:
TF300 cause it's already on JB
and, TF101, except the custom JB roms, I really don't know if it will be updated to JB
and TF201, just updated on JB and one year old.
If you need one tablet with dock, you can choose the TF300T
and if you're not pressed, wait for the Nexus 10, planned for first 2013

[Q] Which ASUS tablet?

I'm looking to get an ASUS tablet but with all the different models I'm looking for input from you guys that are rooted and running custom roms.
I'm a cellphone guy and this will be my first tablet. I'm not looking to get some pile that I'm going to be pissed off about because I can't do this or that.
I don't really have a "need" since I'm just looking for something to hack on...(root, roms, customization, web browsing..running benchmarks because I like looking at the speed, OC'ing... ya know the normal nerd shiz.
The "tinkering" is what I like, probably the same as alot of you guys, just trying new things on it and that stuff...just like my S3.
I'm looking at the tf700t right now for $300 used. I can't really find the difference with the "t" specification on the end..?
Which model should i be interested in if this isn't the "one?"
Am I going to be happy with this, being able to root and flash roms?
Is this the one with the plastic piece/bezel on the top so the GPS actually works decent?
Are these speedy or are they piles of crap?
Is $300 a decent price?
Would you go with Google Nexus 10 instead?
I
Is this the tf700t? removed
is that one above the same as this one?
removed
Hard to tell for me since I never handled these guys.
Well Thanks for your help, if you think I'm missing the boat here and should go with a different tablet, let me know. I like the ASUS look, but not set in stone on it. I see some people saying they regret buying their ASUS tab and wish they went with the Nexus10. I like the Nexus10 too.

The first one is not the same as the second, the first one was the model before called the transformer prime, that one was removed from stores within about 6 months. I advise you to stay away from that one. The one on the bottom is the transformer infinity the one that is the better one. I have mine rooted and unlocked with cleanrom 2.4 and clemsyns 1.9 kernal. Boy can I say that its a sweet device now, stock it was okay but now its amazing. I would totally get it with the price of 350$.
This tablet has some advantages over the nexus 10 too.
Transformer Infinity's (TF700T) Advantages:
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has a dock that you can always connect to for extra battery life along with more ports.
Development is stronger AT THE MOMENT for this tablet.
For 350$ you can get 32 gigs of storage.
Nexus 10s advantages:
Better processor inside.
Better screen resolution.
Better support from manufacturer.
Disadvantages:
No micro SD card slot.
No docking station that adds battery life.
400$ only gets you 16 gbs of memory.
Not a lot known about this tablet yet to judge how great it really is or can be.
Hope this helps you out a little.

How does the n10 have better support? Asus is considered to be the best. Even if the n10 is a nexus, it's made by Samsung, considered to be the worst...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T

Because its a google product so logically google is going to release all of its updates and support quicker then any other device period. Dont get me wrong Asus has some awesome support.

Thanks guys.
I agree with the advantages over the Nexus tablet. I like the expandable storage. Plus 32gb for the price is great.
The resolution is better on the N10 but, really, I'm not a huge freak about that.
I'm sure the resolution is great and it has IPS mode right? I've heard good things about that.
I thought I'd be missing NFC, but in reality, it's a novelty to me, wow cool, ok move on. I've used it like 4 times on my S3, only because i bought a bunch of the tiles. They are in a drawer somewhere. Useless.
The dock looks pretty decent, kinda pricey but, i'll find a used one.
The infinity has USB OTG right? I'm assuming it does.
The processor difference between the N10 isn't that great and I don't really do anything that requires that much power..besides wow'ing myself with benchmarks, so i think it will be fine.
I'm not too worried about the updates since I won't be stock ever. I'm sure we'll be at 4.2 within no time if isn't already.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try to score the infinity off craigslist right now. I'll let you know what I think.

One last question..
The "gold" grey" models is referring to the actual color right or am I retarded? or both?

The resolution on the infinity still wows me though, its a nice looking tablet regardless. Sadly the infinity doesnt have USB on it however there is an adapter that plugs into your charger port to give you that support.
I have to agree that the dock is sweet but pricey, I personally dont own one yet and am patiently waiting for a Ubutu port before I make any further purchases.
Yeah the benchmarks on this thing are crazy if you do some tweaking, I will attach a pic with my benchmark on this post. It is pretty good.
Just make sure that it is indeed the infinity as the post says the transformer prime which is different then the transformer infinity. If the guy has the box the box should say infinity. Good luck man!
EDIT:Yes that is referring to is color not a stupid question either lol.

So far so good. I really haven't played with it, been busy with some other stuff but i'm glad i got it over the n7 or n10 even.
Once I root/rom i'll let you know, stock isn't what i like on anything.
Thanks for asking though!!

Congrats on the Infinity purchase!! You'll love it! Better choice than the N10 in my opinion. I had the Prime, then bought the Infinity when it was released and my girlfriend got the Prime. The only thing about the N10 that excites me is that GameLoft and EA said they are going to support it with their games. So that means the Infinity will get support too with its high res display!! Bonus!!!

Thats good that your liking it man, once you root it and get that custom rom on it you will be amazed believe me. I only have one complaint about the tablet and its the my left side of my screen creeks but other then that I dont have any of the other problems people are complaining about.
Yes!! Finally gameloft will support this beast of a device!

As an Infinity owner I would have gone to Nexus 10. It is so much better device than this.
Just saw a video where some guy had opened 6 3D games and was multitasking and playing fluently those games. You just can't do that with this tablet. This will die under 2 games already.
