Im sorry but i smell envy in your comment... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
the latter...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arcticreaver:
this looks like my next tablet. it will be my first tablet. my mom has an ipad 2 and everyday i look at it the more i get jealous.

so if this tablet is the real deal i think it would be my next investment. hopefully before december this year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
According to Jonney Shih (ASUS Chairman) last night, the Transformer Prime will "most likely" ship with Honeycomb...

http://blog.gsmarena.com/asus-chair...sh/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Why do you think that is.... so they can get it out sooner!!!!!!

I would expect the official unveil on Nov. 9th to announce a release date of somewhere within the time frame of a month, and expect a ICS update fairly quickly... after the first of the year perhaps??? If they can get it out quicker with honeycomb, I'm all for it. I can wait another month or two for the ICS update... just as long as I have my precious. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikelt89:
In the teaser video you can see it runs honeycomb, so it's a question of wethever they want to release it with ICS release or sooner. and sooner means it will run honeycomb obviously.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnchad14:
I wonder how hard it will be to later slap windows 8 on the prime as there will supposedly be tegra 3 win8 tablets...which I'm interested in. The thought it may be doable has me excited to go ahead and get one maybe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I'm buying one :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] starfcker69:
It's odd that Asus is the only major tablet maker that has announced a model with kal-el or quad core processor. Unless Asus got a month or two exclusive on the kal-el, I think the ship date of the new Asus tablet is months away. The new Toshiba, no ship date yet, is another (faster) dual-core, and no news of new model from Acer or Motorola.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Hey what specs will the TF2 have...I've heard nothing about display? ?????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Other than the Kal-El chip, no specs have been released... wait till Nov. 9
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turbulent28:
And where would apple be if they listen to this advice??:cool:

buy, buy,buy!

lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chatch15117:
True... I got burned on this graphics card. Paid $375 shipped when it came out and now they are going for $120
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Asmoden:
Hehe always seems to happen with technology buy something and month - week later its out of date
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkhawkff:
It's quite humorous reading all these posts. So many people getting hyped up over an 'announcement'....christ. Haven't you learned anything from the TF101 release? EVEN if they release it in November (fat chance), most people won't be able to get one until February at the earliest again. And that's assuming that it does get released.

Quit getting your hopes up so high they're in the heavens.....The TF2 will be out when it's out. More than likely it will be next year. As far as specs....seriously? It's anyone's guess. I'd be surprised if they aren't using the same screen (by looking at the pictures of the supposed TF2). I'm more interested in where the miniHDMI and uSD slots went.....they aren't there with the headphone jack anymore......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zelduy:
I hope they release the 3G version together with the wifi one..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Paran0idAndr0id:
Probably is tucked away in the dock somewhere. I'm sure there is no way where they can fit the mini HDMI and micro SD into into the thin body. If they did i would be quite surprised.

I'll be pre ordering the tf2 asap and i think Asus did learn from the past mistakes and that they will produce a fair amount of tf2 for the initial release
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deymayor:
They should learn from Apple and sell it for the same price. The only way people will take notice is if it starts at $399 just like the previous offering. I'm still on the fence if it's true that i have to spend an extra $100 which adds to the $100 i will lose on selling my TF. plus the glossy finish doesn't really appeal to me and i never had any issue with the design of my tf.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkhawkff:
If they removed the uSD card slot from the actual tablet itself....Good luck. I'll pass on the TF2 and wait for something that does have one. Expandable storage is almost a must have for me anymore. Even my phone's 16GB is getting to be a bit on the small side.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rumbleweed:
I am amazed by the short memories of people. When the TF101 was announced people had orders at every website out there and spent continuous hours trying to get one. When they finally got one, they continually RMA'd them for minor issues and complained about the OS. Now that the 101 is working well and the manufacturing bugs are mostly worked out they want to do it all over again. The sad part is next summer the forum will be clogged with posts anticipating the release of the TF3 and they will start all over again.:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] starfcker69:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
we are becoming more like apple users than we realize.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryanmc2033:
Not only the finger prints, but I hate the rounded edges. When I had an iPad 2 the rounded edges bugged me so much that I sold it. The rounded edges make the control impossible to press unless you pick it up. Plus the slick metal back will be more slippery. I hate how everyone thinks they need to copy Apple to be good. I love my Transformer the way it is. Keep the same design, just make it thinner and lighter.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TrailorParkKid:
Thanks Swiftks.

I guess since I've been a member since June of last year and I'm actively tracking this device I could start posting :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barakoas:
well.. since the 1st transformer had nice design.. it wasnt much solid on the edges when i was holding it in one hand... Iam happy for this new design.. it looks much better to me and prolly will be much more solid! and hopefuly premium quality aswell.. :) and about smudges on the back... i dont care :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barakoas:
Iam sorry.. but all i smell from your post is envy... or you are just so negative person and want destroy happiness of others..

You might accept the truth that Asus probably learned from its mistakes..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkhawkff:
No, no envy. Nor is it negativity. It's called Reality. That place I live in.

Asus learned from it's mistakes? Which ones? The one where they assumed not many people would want their tablet and were only producing 100k a month? Or the one where they took 6 months to develop the tablet (and subsequently release it) from when people first started hearing about it?

What you (and many others) don't seem to realize is that it takes time to engineer both a piece of hardware and software and bring it together. It doesn't just go like clockwork. Look at the Motorola Bionic. Or even the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Both of those got scrapped right before they were going to be released (originally). Granted, I don't assume the TF2 will be like that, but I do know that less than 6 months to design, test, and debug is much faster than even most companies PLAN the process to take.

How do I know this? I'm an engineer and I work in this industry.

That being said, I'm happy with my TF2, and really find no reason to upgrade right now. Honestly, I'm having a hard time finding a reason to keep it if I decide to get a Galaxy Nexus phone. There's almost little to no point in having a tablet with that kind of phone IMHO. Besides, if/when the TF gets ICS, why upgrade? I'm happy, as are many others.

If you can't believe that, then maybe your dreams are really of a white fruit....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwiftLegend:
Agreed. That back is ugly! I can kinda understand why they did it, since a lot of people and reviewers complained about the honeycomb-like backing and brown color, but I liked it. Hopefully someone will come out with a carbon fiber skin for this when it comes out. I also hate rounded edges. I like the squareness of my TF..makes it feel a lot more secure in my hand than iPads have.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

I call bull**** on this. Not saying your statement is false, but I remember reading that Asus said they will sell the TF2 for the same price as the TF1, $399. Reason behind this was they would make all their money in the dock and accessory sales.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Could be why Transformer Prime is possibly shipping with Honeycomb (see post a page or two back for source)... much easier/faster to integrate existing & known software with new hardware; then simply OTA update once integration has been achieved and tested.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barakoas:
Well.. Im pretty sure nVidia worked on it with Asus for few months already.. Its not coincidence that both anounced (rushed) their products same day right after ICS has been released.. im pretty sure both companies want rush their products out right in the best sale time of the year.. yes christmass...

That you are engineer working in the industry doesnt mean u know about other company secrets and development...until you say u work for nVidia or Asus..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kanariya:
what turned me off the original TF was the look and thickness of it.

now with this new sexy look and quad-core, ICS. I will preorder one for $500.

Always wanted to retire my 10" EeePC for casual web surfing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Camaros_Kill:
I have my fingers crossed that they dont use the same bootloader thats on b70s. If the devs cant root this its going to be really sad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 34Ford:
Asus stretches out these release dates just so they can come on here and see how the interest is in a product.

Its about making "MONEY".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kanariya:
Is there a company not about making money?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkhawkff:
I've known it was going to ship with HC and OTA update later but....

Whether it's integrating HC or ICS, do you really think it makes a difference? You're not talking about a simple 'dumb' phone here. This is in all essence a computer. Either way, it's a new chipset, a new CPU (while loosely based on the same architecture, it's still NOT the same), and many other new aspects. It's still not going to be like building a new CPU, put the pieces together, install Windows/Linux, and off ya go. It just isn't that simple, and it seems everyone just thinks it is. It's quite laughable from an engineering perspective.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
My wife got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I have to admit to being a bit jealous based on two things:

1. The GT 10.1 is really thin and light, and feels much better in the hand than the TF. I didn't realize how much difference it would make (and argued against the importance of it) until I got my hands on the GT in actual use. This isn't to say that the TF is bad, just that the GT 10.1 is better, in this respect.

2. Haptic feedback is nicer than I thought it would be. It adds an important dimension to the experience.

I'm really thinking of getting a TF Prime because it seems to be what Asus would have liked to release if they'd had a little more time. The thinness/lightness of it will be great, of course Tegra 3 resolves many issues with Tegra 2 (including simply having NEON support), and I'm hopeful that they'll add haptic feedback (like they added an LED flash).

I can see someone feeling like their TF with ICS will be just fine, and I think that's a justifiable position. I'm 30% in that camp as well. But there's just something about the TF Prime that has me salivating a little.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ttav:
Yup..that is my feeling exactly:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
digitimes did an interview with the ceo of asus and he said the transformer 2 will be 499 and no price cut on the tf1.

you have to be a digitmes member to view the article now, but i remember reading it when it first came out. just google transformer 2 price and look for articles around october 4-5.

i would like to think that a company like asus seeks to continually improve its products. whatever issues the tf1 had i'm sure at least some of them have been addressed for the tf2.

as for supply issues

"The biggest hurdle for the company's hit keyboard dockable tablet is supply – Asus relied only on HannStar Display for the touch panels, which couldn't meet booming demand. Now, the company has added Wintek as the second touch panel provider for the tablet and targets 1 million shipped Transformers in the third quarter."

they underestimated the demand when the tranfsormer1 came out. i'm sure they recognize that this is a product people want to buy so i'm optimistic that the tf2 will be more readily available than the tf1 when it first came out.

but seriously though. the tf2 will be horrible. everyone should just wait on it.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hesynergy:
It had better have revamped audio instead of the crappy mic and sub-par speakers of the original!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] player911:
I'm still recommending the Transformer 1 this holiday season. I've already seen deals for the TF and dock for 350. Once the TF2 drops we'll see even more sales. The TF1 is a sweet device still and I know we'll get ICS in a few months or a port from a dev.

It works well still today. If you don't have a tablet and need one, I would recommend the TF like. Asus has been on the ball with updates. November 9th is only a couple weeks away. What I would do, is buy the TF1, hold on to it until the announcement, and see if the TF2 is worth waiting for. If it is, return it and get your money back.

Right now the TF2 benefits seem the CPU T3 but that alone isn't worth end extra $500 out of pocket. The TF1 already has a high Res screen and I can't imagine it looking right on any higher. The screen size/res of the TF1 seems perfect now.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
I have had my TF for a week after returning the ipad 2 and I love the clarity of the screen. Speakers well, meh. Cameras are really nice I feel for a tablet. I love being able to customize and have a custom ROM and kernel already. Watching movies, reading Ebooks and taking notes are just so awesome over the ipads offerings. Note: not a hater as I have an OG Ipad that I keep for my kids and for fun. Finally the dock was my selling point as I feel it looks attractive and interfaces very well with the tablet.

I'm still waiting for more Tegra 2 games to come out and apps are somewhat thin still for tablets on android. So, I wonder with Kal El though the power will be there, how frustrating will it be until there is enough software out for it. It seems the hardware is ahead of the software by a bit.

I was in BB yesterday looking at all the tablet offerings yesterday that came out and nobody really looking at them. There will be some that fail just because of the timing of the release and the public demand of the best now. If HP put Android instead of WebOS on its touchpad it still may have failed just because of the flood of competition. The TF stood out. I'm sticking with this at least until I do my research and see the software offerings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wilx:
So do we know if the TF1 Dock will fit it like they said it would do months ago? I assume not if its thinner
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AudioFiend:
prime is coming

http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Although I'm still hopeful that the Prime will work with the current dock (it's entirely possible, I think, either with an adapter to adjust for the thinness or even just by designing it so it's supported by the back edge of the docking lip), I'd love to see a link of an actual Asus spokesperson stating that future Transformers will work with the current dock.

So far, the only place I can find that stated is in an early review, and that seemed to be based on hearsay.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeeterpro:
To me, it boils down to "want" and "need". Despite the build issues many had with the TF1, mine (B50) was great! Power drain on dock was reversed with an RMA. All I run works great.

So right now....do I "need" a TF2? Nope. Do I "want" one? Maybe. And that is a BIG maybe. For $500? No way. $400? Possibly but highly doubtful.

All that a quad core tab would bring me is nothing I cannot do with what I have now. Until that time arrives that a task forms I cannot achieve on my TF1...then, and only then, will I consider a move.

But that's just me. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbroon:
Personally I see no need to upgrade, the tegra in the TF1 is adequate, generally run it underclocked a little for better battery life with no issues so in future I can overclock if needed. Will probably review things again when TF3 with Jaffacake/Jammy Dodger/Jelly bean or whatever comes out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkhawkff:
...As if everyone reading this thread didn't already know everything on that page?

Saying it's coming, is also like saying the stock market is going to crash. Sure, maybe not tomorrow, or next month, or even this year, but it will happen. It's also like saying death is coming. It will, one way or another.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MarcMaiden:
I cant wait for the TF2 to come out so I can save $$ on the dock :D ..... yeah I'm a hungry college student :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qhinton:
What people hve failed to mention is that the CEO of Asus said TF3 will be the first tablet to ship with ICS. It will be out within 2 months, before the Xoom 2.

it sounds like it won't ship with ics at all. more than likely it will ship with honeycomb and then get an ics update.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] surroundedbytrees:
Asus would be wise to release the new TF as a 3g/4g unit at first. They could price a 16GB unit at $499 undercutting the IPad....still sell the proven current model....and say in 6 months release a Prime wifi only unit..Now i think at $499 alot if us here would jump on a 3g unit..but any of us here I'd imagine would be classified as an early adopter and I wouldn't mind having to sell my current unit 9at a discount) to move to Prime with 3g connectivity

I just installed CM 7.1.0 from MikG and the camera leaves much to be desired. There are few features/options, the UI feels like my original Droid and there are no special effects or ability to mute sounds like shutter and what not. Quite frustrating this past weekend when I was at a wedding and wanted to take lots of pictures but it was quite other than them reading their vows and what not and after taking only one picture I put my phone away because it was so loud. I miss the camera from MikG and wish I had the special effects like some of the newer camera versions. Can anyone help me out here? Prefer a Camera app that also has the video in it if possible. Maybe just a newer version of the stock Camera or ??

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
It won't replace it. Just another option. Its way better than the stock one.

Alright, installed it and LOVE it compared to the stock one included w/CM7. My only problem is that the effects list is missing the only one I would ever use and that's an HDR setting.

Same issue here as the newer's have the pano effect, etc. and are sweet.

As an alt to the miui one, you should checkout camera 360 also. Used to be a paid app, now free and has a lot of nice features ....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] OstrichSak:
It's free now?!? I used that when it first came out years ago and loved it but the devs did some crazy crap (GREATLY reduced resolution of your photos and a few other things that I personally think is wrong) to the free version to get people to pay for it and so I abandoned it because I don't like those tactics. If it's completely free now then I'm all over that! :cool:
