So much so that when I come back to this tab and refresh it after 4-5 hours i'm always disappointed when there isn't much activity... LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfisher1968:
I called Asus today and the reply i got was that it still looks like it will be released in April and that they are waiting for the supply to meet the demand before they release.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc13:
If you are military you can order them.

I have mine ordered and says delivery is no later then the 27th.

This is the product number on my reciept

16GB

[X672G] - EeePad TF101-A1 Transformer Tablet - Dark Brown

32GB

[X672H] - EeePad TF101-B1 Transformer Tablet - Dark Brown

Where is says A1 - X672G that means the 16GB the B1 - X672H that is the 32GB one.

Hope that helps some people when looking for it online.

One article I saw said release pushed back to June 1st. I dont think Im going to wait that long. Man this makes me mad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GarJones27:
We'll just have to see what comes from all this conflicting news. Many say end of April which is approaching so the wait for that deadline is very near and I'm hoping it does launch. I have a feeling it will especially with the myriad of sources claiming that it will.

That article you mentioned is still referring to the UK launch and availability as it says below.

"No word on what impact this shortage might have on a North American launch date, but I can't imagine it's going to speed things up."

Im not gonna lie, im checking this page/the web like a hawk. Im not gonna wait 1/2/3/4 weeks after the initial release bc its gonna sell out. Tho i am really getting tired of this waiting, it would be different if we were offered ANY information. I can wait till the end of this month(barely) but if its not out of this month or any info given i will be going else where.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
It would be nice if Asus spent their time giving us information instead of releasing stupid "The Big Bang Theory" knockoff videos that are terrible
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GarJones27:
Don't mean to veer off-topic but.....

It's somewhat funny, after skimming through the thread I noticed that the majority of people waiting for any and all information about the Transformer are people who have been long-time members of XDA. I guess this is just a testament to the work that XDA members do day in and day out on a variety of devices and the progress made on non-HTC devices over the years; us "old-timers" see the potential in this upcoming non-HTC device from the development community.

Thanks XDA!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
True story. I would take a non-carrier htc 10 inch tab, but i doubt they will make one. This hardware is way too good to pass up though. The funny part, to me, is how much attention this is getting versus the acer iconia a500, which releases in less than a week and does not yet have a sub forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaznuski:
I have always lurked around these forums ever since my HTC TyTN, but this ASUS Transformer has my interest peaked. I have a friend traveling to the US the end of this month and I just cant wait to get a release date and store location. My only hope is its released before he heads leaves the US.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GarJones27:
Yeah I agree, it's definitely getting more press than the Acer counterpart. I guess the speculated price ($399), dock, and long battery life have people ecstatic and rightfully so.

Yeah I definitely took periods (years) where I was either not going on or just lurking. I do love that TyTN though. HTC made class leading hardware with the back camera and front-facing camera. I'm just mad my motherboard got damaged otherwise I would still tinker with that device, now it's just a nice $500 paper-weight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daswahnsinn:
I've been a long time lurker and when I first started out with Android I had the Moment. Now I have the Evo and have been reading, a lot of reading, on more than just what may impact my device. After all that I was thinking G-Tab but after reading and looking at specs, then looking at the competitors, and settled with this device. I can wait.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iboj007:
I was going to make the same comment. It's kind of depressing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slade10401:
I was looking at the both the windows 7 AMD Acer tablet (played with one today at work at it was slow and batter was not great) and the a500. Not going to go into the win 7 option but the a500 is not supposed to have as nice of a screen, the battery life is not as good and cost a extra $50 to boot.

I am also trying to scam a Cius from work :) I just want a tablet, hate apple and didn't like the screen\cost of the xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashingblue:
I just wish they would announce a US SRP, that way we could all see if it is worth it to import or not. I'm thinking we won't see a US release for another two to three months.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtek:
Tammy lin the contact from the facebook page said end of April, which should really mean next week unless there's a delay for a different reason now. The longer it gets delayed i think my attention may switch to the Samsung as thats supposed to be released on June 8th - unless the stupid apple lawsuit changes that!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3rry1:
i don't think that apple lawsuit will go far, apple biting the hand that feeds them? not good... there may be a shortage of ipad parts if they piss off sammy :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santokiparque:
hey sup guys, here's something interesting, I'm not sure what this means but what do you guys think?

"

The drawings and winners announcement commence on 7th May. 2011 (GMT+8) ("Drawing Date").

The delivery date will be at least one month after the winner announcement. The fastest date of the Prize will be delivered by 3rd June. The delivery date may be changed without prior notices.

"

this is for the US event for a free Transformer. is June 3rd our release date? or are they just putting out an arbitrary number for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemTechie:
The UK winners were announced on Apr. 8, two days after retail launch. Not sure if that will be any indication of what to expect this side of the Pond...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenTiger:
It doesn't say a source... not even a dog or something. Writing this article off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vocalise:
I think that article is referring to Amazon UK, and not the US. Phandroid has gotten their wires crossed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
they source the delay from using amazon release date. are amazon release dates a reliable source?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
This is like the 1000th blog post that's referenced how Amazon UK was reporting June 1 as a date. Old info being reported as news.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullet2300:
Yeah, that has nothing to do with the US launch - that's the UK launch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
Like I said in my comment "One of Apple's fanboy sites, theinquirer.net, started putting out this story a week ago. It lead people to believe it was about worldwide release, however anything Amazon related is UK only related. All you have to do is go to Amazon UK to see this. This story nothing more than a reproduction of the original story and I can't even believe Phandroid linked a story form a site that has an article called "Apple’s iOS is kicking Android’s ass Stateside". Needless to say, knowyourmobile.com is some apple fanboy site and they don't even get a single comment on any of their "reproduced", differently titled stories."

This is so annoying... The more i read about Transformer the more i get angry at ASUS. For making us wait in US...Cant wait to buy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoney94:
If Asus is set to release in June,that would be a big lost for Asus,because Samsung galaxy will be out in June 8.

Asus our money is ready now;I don't know where our money will be in June.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtek:
Completely agree, If it goes to June then I could easily be leaning towards the Galaxy 10.1, I just want to know about the processor and screen before making that decision.

Meh, wouldn't touch a galaxy tab with a 10 foot pole after the BS they pulled with the galaxy S updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan76:
Didn't Asus tell us (via their facebook page, or somewhere else) that there would be an announcement for the US release "This week" ? ...well, it's Wednesday, and I'm gettin antsy!

Hopefully the latest news of US release in late April (Joanna Stern, and others) is still the most accurate and likely.

And thank you for the many of you that posted what I was thinking about the incorrect info filtering out from Amazon UK about the UK delay.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtek:
I'm kind of new to the android scene, are they that bad with the updates? I read bits and pieces about no updates or being really slow? Are they like to be that bad with a first effort tablet as well? I know they will put their customizations of touchwiz ux.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnaL0R:
you guys do realize that asus' will be the cheaper of the two [sammy's 10.1], considering that the $399 price tag does stick... i'm 99% sure of that, especially since the acer's a500 is set @ $449... i wouldn't be surprised if the sammy was priced @ $499...

so, even if the sammy 10.1 and the tf101 were to launch at the same exact time, asus will definitely have an advantage since it's less expensive + has all the core features on-par with the competition + the versatility of being able to "transform" into a netbook... it's really a one-of-a-kind product and the choice is clear, imo :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtek:
I sent an email to Tammy Lin the US contact person from facebook. She gave a response which now seems vague:

My email:

"Hi Tammy,

Could you possibly give a estimate on when we could see the availability of the Transformer in the US market? and which versions would be available? 16GB, 32GB, Keyboard bundles?

Thank you"

Her Response:

Hi- the information should be available in late April.

Now I'm wondering if she means that they will only announce when it will be available in the US in late April i.e. next week, and it won't really be available for sale next week. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slade10401:
She told me the launch date was going to be the 26th. Hope she is right.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
They tried charging the carriers for updates to the ui, saying that they were not security updates and should therefore be charged for. I think they got away with it too.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc13:
I still dont see my order change yet so IDK according to my shipping it will be here with in the next 7days.

I think they need to release to make sure the hype is still there then make more after the first big wave hits to keep people wanting it.

Yes and a Tuesday release sounds right to me. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PKane088:
Also note that it says "ETA" not Release Date. Maybe they gave a week for a shipping buffer? It fits with the April 26th rumor
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
My thoughts exactly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluezz:
I don't know why but I doubt its happening on April 26. I feel that Asus would have announced by now if it was happening on the 26th. If not Asus themselves, we would have seen some leaks from best buy flyers etc.

Asus has already been beating around the bush by saying the low supply and high demand for UK. I think inside the bush is a big bag of delays :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja984:
yea they probably would have a countdown already if it was the 26th

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcm_rx7:
I searched that hash tag and somebody claimed to already know the release date...4/30/11.

I think that sounds reasonable given that Asus has said the end of April :rolleyes: Doesn't get further to the end than that!

Either way, I'm still buying it. This anticipation has built this thing up quite a bit. I'm worried that all the hype will let me down.

Having used a Xoom now for almost two months, I can say that I'm pretty anxious to get a Transformer as well. The keyboard dock really will round out the platform for me--as much as I love the tablet format for so many things (and it's so much better than I expected), the ability to put it into notebook mode will make it that much better. If Asus can fix this supply issue and at their pricing, they should be able to make a killing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkokonut:
on engadget, cant post the link but. $399 confirmed!

april 26! finally!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
It's not the UK launch either!

The Transformer has launched in the UK already, and many of us already have one!

If I go onto Apples UK webstore, I can't buy an iPad2 for delivery less than 3 weeks away - I also can't pop into any local stores to buy one. Does that mean it hasn't launched? No - it means it's out of stock.

The Transformer is out of stock in the UK, and it's probably because the underestimated demand.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tineras:
Perhaps it would be a good idea to create a 'US Retail Availability' thread to keep everyone updated on when/where they can purchase/pre-order the tablet as it starts popping up at retailers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
Thanks a ton. From what I've seen, it doesnt look like there will be a combo. Which is both dissapointing and understandable. The uk gets ripped off for electronics because of the VAT, so maybe they were just trying to help them out. I'm all for a combo, as i want both, but i understand if they don't offer it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
It's not the VAT that screws us per se - take the VAT off the UK price for the transformer and convert to USD and we are pay $475 + the VAT for the Transformer.

However, we can get the keyboard dock for around half what they are supposedly offering it in the US, so if you buy both or the bundle in the UK, the price pretty much matches the US price excluding the VAT.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberguest:
which one has the best return policy?

$400+$150 is not going to get me committed unless i play for a while first.

wth, $450+$100 is a better price than $400+$150, $150 for a accessory is a rip-off no matter how good it is. And if i don't get the keyboard, there's no known USB host accessories.

alternative: $500 galaxy tab + bluetooth keyboard + usb host adapter = ~$600. for ~$50 more, i might go with light weight sexiness. i am going to use it for browsing mostly.

I think the biggest piece of that $150 is the extra battery you get w/ the laptop. What is it - like another 6 or 8 hours??

Most laptop batteries (that I've had to buy) are usually in the $70 - $100 range it seems.

In your scenario it would be ~$50 more - and you'd be missing out on that extra battery.

Just something to factor into the decision. :)
