Yep, I've got to get one of these asap.

I think this is the product someone else recommended...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] shaneaus:
You can get that same cable for about 3 bucks on Monoprice.com

looky here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Punchatron:
Here's a USB extension I've bought before from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...re=usb_extension_cable-_-12-816-055-_-Product

They work great with mice and keyboards. I won't be able to test with my TF until it comes in tomorrow :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shaneaus:
I wouldn't use the one from the newegg link above. It appears to be a USB 2.0 cable. You will need a USB 3.0 cable as it has extra pins and those pins are used to charge at a higher voltage. It will charge with the USB 2.0... But, VERY SLOWLY.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
I bought this one and it works :)

anyone with the keyboard noticing that the stock browser seems to hate it. I had the keyboard disconnect bug 5 times in a row while in the stock browser, but in firefox/dolphin, it's perfect.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] JTallon4:
Thanks, dustindw! Order in... we'll see what happens!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waxlabo:
Oh my goodness, newegg currently has the dock for 129.99 that is 20 dollars off!!

Edit: thanks dustindw
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
I just find this whole thing complicated.

If have everything fully charged and its docked on the keyboard...whats losing battery first?

does the battery meter on the tablet reflect the battery drain based on the docks battery as well?

Is the dock basically just keeping the tablet at 100% and then when it loses juice the tablet starts draining its battery?

I heard the dock has a battery led...does that show notifications from the tablet like email and such, thought I saw a review that it did.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
Ordered and waiting for confirmation :D

AFAIK, without having the device yet, the keyboard charges the tablet, so the keyboard battery will drain out first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
From a review I read, it said that the keyboard charges and powers the tablet when docked. I'm not sure about the battery meter.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waxlabo:
Newegg newegg newegg go go go
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
The fact that newegg is at $130 and tiger direct was at $120 just proves my assumption that the dock is marked up significantly. I wasn't planning on getting one until there was a sale, but I jumped on the $120 TD one. I still think they should be $100 or less.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] taoistman:
Just checked my TD order, it is shipped and i am getting it tmr!! So excited!!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IIJBII:
Just ordered one. Thanks for the post! We will see what happens with the order. Hopefully it ships quickly. Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ubermetroid:
Nice!

May have to go and cancel my other orders.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cbyter:
Got in with NewEgg next day. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
Order confirmed, thanks for the info :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
just placed my order with next day deliver. Mucho thanks buddy! Im not gonna cancel my Amazon order until I receive it from NewEgg
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Thanks got it in. So far so good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
Thanks...now the wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doronster195:
Ugh, ran out of my money on my debit card after getting the transformer today. Supposed to be getting more money today... just keeping the keyboard in my cart hopefully they won't remove it :/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
My dock from TigerDirect arrived just now :D I love it!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mhotep06:
Crap I way over paid using American TV. Oh well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
Ok, I'm starting like the keyboard a little more than I did earlier. First of all, the problems with it disconnecting on its own seem to have worked themselves out. I didn't do anything except disconnect and reconnect the keyboard a few times and finally it began working reliably.

The hotkeys are really useful...

- wifi on/off

- bluetooth on/off

- mousepad on/off

- dim screen

- brighten screen

- auto brightness

- camera mode

- browser

- settings

- music control (back)

- music control (play/pause)

- music control (forward)

- mute

- lower volume

- increase volume

- lock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
OOS again ....... LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
does browser start the builtin browser or the default browser?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diecast17:
Thank you I just ordered and I may have got the last one as it now says Out of Stock!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
I'm not pre-ordering from Fry's , for some reason they didn't get anywhre as near the stock as other online retailers.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I have a feeling the dock's availability will be more widespread than the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Is the dock the new white iPhone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Thanks for that, My price with ground shipping from the site is $160 so I save 10$ over the ebay auction. They are claiming orders for the dock will go out on the 14th.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] cky2000:
Here is another link to watch from Walmart, no pre-order yet. They do have an "Email me when in stock". One thing, I did older my TF101 on 4/26 and received on 4/27 from Walmart, go figure.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
Wish they had a preorder link
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Nice find. Added to OP!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
no problem. i'm probably going to place an order with them by the end of the week if we don't hear anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
They don't charge your card till they ship so I see no harm in an early order. I've got to fill 5 customer orders for Transformers so I'm spreading the wealth to see who comes in earlier. I may order a few more from excaliber.

Amazon update

Amazon just changed my shipping status to expect a delivery on 15 Jun, with one day shipping. Still no idea when the 32GB tablet will ship.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] demod_oz:
I ordered my TF101 and Dock at the same time with Amazon, 12:01PST on the 26th. Had the order email at 12:06. I have received the TF101. But the dock is sitting at :

Not yet shipped

We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time.

I'm a little annoyed at that! especially since others have a date. a bad date, but a date nonetheless!

I can understand why these are rarer than the TF101's. I you were ASUS would you focus on building $399 products or $150 products!?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] the_gunner:
I would think Asus is banking on selling a ****load of the KB docks, since their profit margins have to be way better on the docks than on the Transformers. So yeah, I'm surprised they don't have those ready to go along w/ the tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shaneaus:
I have it from an insider that Asus was planning on producing roughly 1 dock for every 2 tablets made b/c they felt they wouldn't sell on a 1 to 1 basis.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Excaliberpc.com just charged my card for my dock order from earlier today. The order status says item picked and ready for packing. Either they made a mistake or they got some in today.

We'll see tomorrow. If it's true i'll get my dock before my Tablet =/

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
I'll buy it off you :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Uhm yea no.

I'll buy an archos 101 and duct tape it to that bad bay if I haveta.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
interesting. tempted to go place an order now and see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Unless I am reading this wrong its picked for shipping.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Flowah:
They. Are. Dumb.

It's like the main selling point. It's what really sets it apart from other Tegra 2 Honeycomb tablets.

They all have the same resolution, storage, front cam, back cam, blah blah blah. Same-ish battery life. Connection ports.

Without the Dock and possibly the IPS screen for some, this is just a generic Android tablet. Sigh. And without the dock, they're missing a fullsize USB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
It starts the default browser. I haven't figured out a way to get it to open Dolphin Browser, which is what I use normally.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
MY heart is pounding right now. I found out I put down the wrong Exp date when I placed the order, I just corrected it a few mins ago and I hope that doesn't delay in getting one. Time to pray to all the GODS. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
TF in STOCK HURRY

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...na&AID=10521304&PID=4169959&SID=1aokc8nz0xb3o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
Not to worry. Similar thing happened at newegg to me with the tablet. My order was placed on hold. Even though it was after it went oos, I updated the credit card info, and it still shipped out the same day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sattvik_:
Well, I got my order in at Newegg. I had a backorder from TD which I cancelled even though it was a few dollars less expensive. The CSR told me they were unloading more as we spoke, but I don't need two docks… I hope everything turns out OK.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Not sure if I just snagged a dock at Newegg. The page said In Stock - Limit 1 per customer. Filled out all my info and submitted the order. Now the product page says "auto notify" again, and I haven't gotten an order number in My Account yet...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
Dang, you got the one I had in my cart! Don't ask about my epic failure on my 3 previous orders that are now all void.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
I don't think I got it. Still no order number or email...booooooo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
I noticed it took a few minutes at the very least to show up... I bet it will for you. I was literally going to hit the final order button and then it said "DERP SORRY OUT OF STOCK". I cried.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cky2000:
Just ordered from Newegg and got the email "Payment Charged" with order number. I hope they come through :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
lol, you probably got the one I had in my cart...

UPDATE: Order number came, but status is void...BOOOOOOOOO!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
Mine too. I keep on refreshing hoping to see shipped. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] waxlabo:
Still processing here, did any of you guys go for the rush processing for 2.99?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
Same boat... Side note....Just got the cover from UPS ordered a few days ago from NewEgg nice fit but 45 bucks?? someone is making money on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
Nope...not in a rush. Tax in Cal is what kills it for me for a "deal"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] initial_k:
$150 is expensive for a keyboard with a battery attached.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
I did but it doesn't seem rushed to me. I ordered at 2pm but their policy says 12 noon PST. I have ordered from NE before using "Rush Ordered" & they usually rush it out a few hours after I placed my order.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cky2000:
Yes sir. I got that email right away and about 5 mins after that I got the payment charge email. I just check my account and all is good so far. It didn't ship, but it says coming from CA.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
Rush processing might get yours shipped faster tomorrow, but doubt you will see any shipped today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iron_pyrite:
I did the rush processing, thinking that it might maintain/improve my order in the shipping queue.If newegg (hypothetically) took orders for 120 keyboards, and only have 90 in stock, they're going to process the orders that give them the extra $3 first. For that extra cup of coffee, I get a little piece of mind. For anything else that isn;t in high demand, I wouldn't pay the fee though. I'd get the coffee instead...or half a beer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ubermetroid:
I did the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
So, the TD CSR was basically trying to get you to keep your order with them by stating that they were unloading more right then? I wonder if there was any truth to the supposed "new stock" they were unloading... I called them and they said there was no ETA on new stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
WOOHOOOO! My order has shipped. I paid for next day shipping. I wonder if Rushed Order helped but who cares now. GL to all that was able to order today & selected Rush Order.

My Dock review coming by the weekend.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] demod_oz:
how long does it take newegg to move out of processing? my first newegg order!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sattvik_:
No idea. During the same phone call I asked if they had any idea when the tablet itself would be in, and he did not give a definite answer. A few minutes later, they started taking orders online.

EDIT: I should mention the CSR said that the additional docks would not show up in inventory until the evening. So, take it for whatever its worth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ubermetroid:
I just got the shipping notice too! I went and canceled the other pre-orders I had.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iron_pyrite:
Newegg just shipped my order: 3-day ground w/ rush processing.

From my order confirmation to "Shipped", the total time was a little under 3 hours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lionclaw:
My newegg rush order just shipped too :)

Gotta love the egg. TF yesterday, dock today. What shortage? J/K :p

I had orders going at target, hhgregg, tigerdirect, and 2x excaliberpc. They're all canceled now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sattvik_:
Seems like my Newegg order just changed to shipped. I did not do the rush processing.

So, I suppose mid-next week I should have a dock. Now, if only I had a tablet…
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jocelyn:
My Newegg order just Shipped too, and will be her on Friday!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Dude:
(Shipped from Industry, CA)

Shipping Time: 5/4/2011 5:01:55 PM

NICE....:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JTallon4:
No rush processing, and only 3 day shipping. But it still shipped!

Thanks again to dustindw for the heads up. Dock is on the way. Woo-hoo!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] demod_oz:
Hmm.. 2hrs and i'm still at Processing!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iron_pyrite:
Well, my status went straight from "Charged" to "Shipped" so they seem to be skipping steps. Hopefully, yours clears in the next hour :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skunkape:
i wouldnt worry....when i got my TF, i was on processing for a full day until it changed to charged, then shipped shortly after
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
Umm, you first posted that you got the dock and it is in stock, and then you missed it somehow? I guess maybe you were talking about the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
I just got home & cancelled my Amazon dock order. I have a feeling I'm going to have to look else where for the 32GB & probably would get it faster than Amazon. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
No no... I completely hosed myself. :|

I originally did 3-day shipping. I then thought about it and figured I'd see about getting it changed to 2-day so that I could have it for the weekend. I chatted with a CSR and she said I had to cancel my first order. So while I was talking to her, I placed a 2nd order with 2-day shipping. Well, somehow that 2nd order got canceled (either she cancelled it or it was automatically cancelled because it was a "limit 1 per person" item). I tried for a 3rd order, after I had them cancel the first order (still thinking that I could get another in for 2-day shipping). The 3rd order automatically voided, and just then it was out of stock.

So, it was a huge mess and I hosed myself big time. I should have just left it alone at 3-day shipping. I still have my order in with Amazon... I'm hoping they get stock soon!

What an afternoon. I was rather disappointed in myself for even messing around with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Kicking myself... I vacillated because of the restock fee (hate those), and so I didn't order. But, Newegg is about 15 miles east of me as the crow flies. If I'd have ordered it today, I'd probably get it tomorrow.

Yeesh. All over a stinking $20 restock fee IF I decided to return it. Idiot. I'll remember that the next four or fix stupid apps I waste money on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cbyter:
Got my shipping notice from the Egg for this afternoon's order, overnight shipping. UPS does not show tracking number valid, yet. Once I get an in-process scan I can cancel buy and ATV. I'm leaving TD and Amazon open. Second TF and dock will go to family as a gift.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
My transformer keyboard came in and is unfortunately doa :( causes random shutdowns after being plugged in for few minutes. Hangs at othertimes. Random wifi off at other times

[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingwp1:
I ordered the dock on Newegg today about 4:30pm cst, thanks to the tipster who posted here. I got my tracking number and "in transit" status around 9pm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Terminatus:
Looks like my TD order through Buy.com was updated to "shipped" in the last hour or so! Go go UPS, update with a delivery date!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RichardsChris:
Mine still says processing :(

Back in stock at Newegg at 0109PDT? Have their computers gone mad or are they updating inventory from China?

edit: Must have been a internal goof as it was gone after two minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] curti.nogg:
Looks like they finally added images.

Or it sold out that quickly. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] demod_oz:
Me too :( newegg? Just got my TF in hand today. must have dock! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] StirCwazy:
For those of you still waiting/wanting a dock, I'd suggest contacting Tiger Direct by phone. I received mine yesterday, unfortunately it has an issue with a stuck key. I contacted TD and spoke to a rep who said they could not send me a replacement at the time (yesterday) but could today due to new stock showing in their system as being received, but not yet available. So take it for what it's worth, but I would suggest calling.

Unfortunately for me I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks and will have to live with a stuck key problem on my dock. The key works, but 50% of the time it will not pop back up. I guess I have to hope there's stock in a couple weeks when I get back.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
Tger directs entire site has been down for the last half hour, hopefully this is because they are updating mass quantities of the tf101. Ha, wishful thinking...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jcrig1:
Haha, it might be though, just called and he said they got a large shipment of the keyboard docks in, I'll be checking all day:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
You aren't alone in this. Turn off the trackpad and it will fix most of your problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GarJones27:
Interesting, because I just called too and the rep I spoke with said they won't get more in for probably another week.... Shows how much they really know. Nonetheless I'll be F5'ing all day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] speckledpig:
Anyone got shipped notices from amazon yet?

I ordered mine the same night I ordered my tablet (launch day 4/26) and I haven't heard anything from amazon. Got my TF Thursday morning.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] csmall:
Mine should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately I am exchanging my tablet for a replacement and with the stock problems I may not get it for a month. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
Where are you guys seeing it on the tiger direct website? Did they take the docking station down?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GarJones27:

It's on the first post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
lol, duh! Sorry
[Eee Pad Transformer General] codehtmai:
The TD guy I just talked to said they originally had about 300 but they sold out fast. He said there's nothing in the system for the next batch or exactly when it will come, but suggested that I try back again by Wednesday as they should at least have new info by then.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I have an order at Amazon as well that I placed at 12:03am 4/26. I'm hoping Amazon will get a shipment soon since some others (TD & Newegg) have, but I'm not holding my breath. I am, though, kicking myself for not getting one of the units that Newegg was shipping yesterday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] codehtmai:
NewEgg stock just popped back up..put in an order, I'll see if it goes through.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
I did too! Maybe I'll have better luck today than yesterday. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nsstrunks:
And... it's out of stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
I got a confirmation and it says it is processing ... so I'll be crossing my fingers that it doesn't go void. :)

I purchased this on May 3, 2011 10:09 AM MDT. The order status on buy.com still says "processing". Called tigerdirect this morning and it was actually already shipped on May 3! (Also got the tigerdirect order number and tracking number)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] computerpro3:
Same here! Was on my couch and got a SMS alert - ran into the office and ordered one!!!!!! It's already charged! This is amazing because I'm leaving for a business trip on Saturday and REALLY wanted the keyboard dock. I'm going to try leaving my Thinkpad at home now!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IIJBII:
Same here. I used a tip that someone posted about how to get your TD order number. After I got the TD order number I looked it up through their site and its already shipped UPS ground.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] heyeaglefn:
My buy.com order was delivered today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Okay, what is this "NowINStock.com" thing? That resolves to a different site and doesn't let me register.
