[Asus Transformer TF700] urself25:
Will you see a real difference between the two? Both will be able to play 1080p videos. The only thing, the TF201 will display them at 1280*800. HDMI outpout will be at 1080p. No real difference. WIFI is good not great but good. No garantee that the TF700 will have a GPS module yet since that part of the specs has not been released.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diamondback:
Maybe take out the browsing, web browsing is still one of battery hungriest things :) But otherwise a valid point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
Would you like to buy mine?
[Asus Transformer TF700] poofyhairguy:
I bet last year's SoCs can run ICS at 1080p.

I don't care about running ICS's GUI. I care about game framerates.

The Tegra 3 is the second Android tablet SoC (with the Exynos being the first) that can run games at what I consider to be an acceptable framerate at the standard Android tablet resolution.

With more than twice the pixels in the display, you need more than twice the GPU power to get the smoothness my Prime has today.

This is exactly why I have a SGS2 over a Gnex. It is also why I am glad to have my current Prime over the next model.

Apple has got the Android market determined to delivered "Retina Display" screens a year before ARM SoCs were ready for them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] doeboy711:
You have to think though that no app is rated at that high of resolution. Think of having a bad ass gaming system that can play any game at 2560x1600 flawlessly but all the games are at 800x600 or something similar. It's going to look like ass on that screen. It will take a few months after launch of these high end tablets before the app market has a chance to catch up to the hardware specs. So by that time it does I will be buying the end of the second gen stuff or early third gen tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
You guys dissing the HD display are only focusing on video playback. There was a still pic of some text on the new Acer and it was just stunning. The PPI are almost doubled on the HD screens making everything you look at blindingly sharp and crisp.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
Already did, the TF700T promises to be the Ipad killer with its ICS and UXGA. My money is back in the stock market earning more dividends.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mixy:
Im not mad because this is a better tablet than my Prime. Im Mad because its a FIXED prime. They should fix the original prime before taking the next step.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmall:
The TF201 will be my second and final purchase from Asus. Mine isn't even delivered yet and they announce an improved model for Q2?? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some of you don't see this as a big deal but I feel a little burned. #badbusiness
[Asus Transformer TF700] Evo_Shift:
Lol, iPad killer. Asus cannot keep up with demand from enthusiast's let alone the general public. iPad killer this will not be.
[Asus Transformer TF700] poofyhairguy:
Exactly. It is the Gnex all over again.

Another issue for me is that until Android has support for windows, much of that resolution is wasted.

I don't want a 1080p browser- I never use the browser fullscreen on my 27inch monitor. What I want is a 720p browser next to a 720p office program.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
^^^^^

This.

It never made sense to me that in all the pre-order madness it seemed only GameStop wasn't effected. Especially since they had no relationship with Asus beforehand. Based on Poofy's comment, it makes all the sense in the world that when the TF700 comes out Asus starts to emphasize the Prime as a gaming tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] max1001:
It's a very simple question. If you are willing to pay extra $100 for 1080p display(and wait at least a couple of more months), then cancel your preorder. If not, don't.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hitomiayanami:
I think ASUS will abandon TF201!!!:mad::mad::mad:

ASUS, do you remember our TF201 can't use GPS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
It's not that simple. If everything between the two was equal, people would be fine making the choice you suggested. For $100 you get GPS back and better performing Wi-Fi and that's a choice people shouldn't have to make.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
This is one of the main problems with Android now. Throwing higher specs around without the software to even backup last generation hardware. what good are HD apps? Android isn't like apple with a separate dedicated tablet only section. Android is already starving for more tablet only apps. They haven't even fullfilled that order yet let alone moving up to HD apps. lol Specs will continue to go higher n higher with Android devices yet using same outdated software that never really takes advantage of hardware yet. Everything is made basically to accommodate a range of hardware specs. This is why apple has done so well. They only have to focus on a few different spec sheets. Not hundreds of different ones like on Android. Better hardware specs won't solve anything until Android does some major overhauling of its software/apps/OS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
If the Prime were functioning 100% perfectly, I'd have no problem whatsoever with ASUS introducing an upgraded version of it NEXT month at $599/$699. I mean, come on, what are they supposed to do, hurt themselves in the market to help me avoid my buyer's remorse?

However, as much as I love my Prime, it's impossible to argue that the radios aren't gimped a bit by the thing's construction. Wifi takes a hit at distance, BT and wifi don't coexist (note: this hasn't actually been pinned on the metal back yet; could just be a software issue), and GPS doesn't function as expected.

If the "new" Prime is purposefully and expressly designed to resolve these radio issues, then that's prima facie evidence that ASUS is aware of a design issue with the Prime. It's hard for them to therefore continue selling the Prime without resolving these issues. And while the wifi performance is arguably still acceptable (not great but usable), and assuming they can resolve the BT/wifi problem, they're still stuck with some number of customers who bought the Prime before they dropped GPS from their marketing.

So, I think the only people who have any real reason to be upset are those who bought a Prime and were out of their return window before ASUS stopped marketing the thing as having GPS. That's probably people buying today still, because until all retailers remove GPS from their materials and the box no longer lists GPS, there are lots and lots of people who don't follow ASUS's Facebook page or forums like this who are unaware of any issue.

This is a nightmare waiting to happen for ASUS if they don't handle it carefully.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Don't let him convert you to Samsung..lmao. I see your mission now Barry ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
They're obviously sweeping bad publicity under the rug by dangling a carrot before our eyes. Well, as they say nothing personal it's purely business.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
This is happening right now in phones. No new high-end phone will be released that doesn't at least have a qHD display. So you can argue the benefit and practicality but in the specs war for high-end tablets in 2012 it's going to be all about higher res displays. Why do you think Asus is including a HD display on the TF700? Whether it matters to you or not personally is one thing but all these manufacturers are going to be spending the big bucks convincing Joe Public his life will end if he doesn't have a high res tablet. The same thing happened with 720P vs. 1080P TVs. 720P now makes up less than 15% of all HD TVs sold even though at certain distances and screen sizes you can't tell the difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
This hw/sw race is ongoing in the PC world if you recall, how many Nvidia/ATI graphics cards are being introduced every month just to push the envelope? The new games will come, COD and Battlefield type apps will eventually be ported to the tabs by EA and Activision because there will be a huge tablet market for them. BTW, I don't see any Radeon based tabs, i wonder why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
I'm probably the least brand loyal of all of you. I buy what appeals to me. I had a Jetstream for a while and really liked it but HTC f'd up the codecs (again) and the thing weighed a ton. The only brand I'll never buy again is LG because they really are a cluster when it comes to high-end devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kodess:
The Transformer Prime costs a fortune where I live, if I calculate how much the TF700T would cost, it would cost about 900 dollars.

Im not waiting for a tablet that costs me that much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
What carrot have they dangled before our eyes? I don't see one yet, although I expect to. I'm very much of the opinion that ASUS will have an upgrade program for the original Prime purchasers (up to a certain date). If not, then THAT will be bad business (and legally painful).
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Thing is Barry, still images/pics already look "blinding sharp and Crisp" on current prime display. :p Don't forget this is still the best display of any tablet with the brightest and highest contrast ratio. That still pic looks exactly like stuff looks on my Prime already ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] urself25:
Except for vids and pic the 1080p screen won't make any difference for games or web browsing. And really is it really necessary a 1080p screen on a tablet. Picture still look great on a 1280*800 resolution screen. 149ppi is still a good thing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] h0kum:
Cancelled my Prime pre-order. Was looking forward to getting it this week but I'll either wait to see how much the new tablet costs here, 'cos that new screen res sounds sexy, or wait a month or two until the Prime is more easily available and has had the bugs ironed out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
Actually, as much as I like my Prime, I wouldn't mind sharper text for ebook reading. That's the one and only thing that entices me about a higher-res screen. I might be in the minority here, though, because text quality is more important to me than gaming.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xAnimal5:
Qualcomms are by far, the lowest of the low when it comes to mobile chipsets.

I'd rather have a buggy Tegra 3 device than a Qualcomm Stabile device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
Asus has several options and one of them is a trade in of the 201 for the 700, would that be acceptable to you? Otherwise they could just flat out say return for a refund. i don't think they will spend the time for a costly hardware fix at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] L3rry:
Well if you have a Prime your wishes came true. Congrats!
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoeyLe:
No mate. You don't get it. They say it is just a little upgrade, and they will still produce the original TF201 (yeah, right).

I think they already have stopped with producing it, but just say that they keep it producing to keep the customers which bought it happy. Very dirty game Asus is playing with their customers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kunddizzle:
Firesale?

Am I the only one predicting an Asus 1st generation Prime Firesale @ 99$ soon to come?? :D

Since I started this Thread, my feeling about this choice is not Stable..

ATM im keeping my Prime preorder here in Denmark. It will not be availble untill the 30th jan. anyways.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BiGMERF:
so are we going to fb/gplus/twitter rape them or what !??? I already have
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
I think either a trade in program (OG Prime + $100) or return policy for the earliest adopters (those who purchased before ASUS changed the marketing) would be entirely fair.

By the way: I'd define "changed the marketing" as meaning:

1. When retailers no longer list GPS in the product specs.

2. When "GPS" is no longer listed on the Prime's packaging.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
Exactly what I was saying, if they know there's a problem they need to make people aware of the existing inventories out there. Put a sticker on there saying this thing doesn't have a GPS, that way people can see it and not buy it if they choose to. Some might not care, but I do. And remember some of us got it from gamestop, they don't exactly have a return policy. Probably newegg is the same way I remember buying stuff from them and they had horrible return policy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
Direct X 11 is the latest version running in Windows and it demands performance and compatibility from the graphics cards in order to support the next generation of games. Same will be true for the tabs, the race must go on!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Itaintrite:
I'm not a big mobile gamer but a huge reader and movie watcher so higher res on the tablet is a win for me. Couldn't care less about gaming performances as long as ICS is still smooth.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
I'll stick with my tf201. I'm happy, It does everything I need it to do. GPS I can live without. The price is right and I am not patient enough to wait for tf700t let alone pay $600 for it. It really is unfortunate though can't deny that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
nothing wrong with that. id rather have a higher Res. display also.

will all this news announced Prime is losing potential customers. We already have people returning tablet or canceling preorders in lue of hearing this latest news. Sounds to me like Asus is really shooting themselves in the foot for more potential Prime buyers and making OG Prime owners kinda feel cheated. Especially when Asus says this new model addresses and fixes the problems with the Prime. I have a feeling this is really going to come back n bite them in the a##. People shouldn't have to choose to pay extra $100 for a device that original Prime was supposed to be. I know all this news especially pisses off those people in GPS thread. This news is kinda like a slap in the face. Its like How Dare You do this us..lmfao

A very good chance they will be some sort of exchange program for the early adopters, like myself. That way, it'll mostly satisfy everyone and no one will feel cheated or short changed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
I've already post on their facebook a few times. I suggest you all do the same :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
You have absolutely zero evidence for making this claim. TF201 stock is showing up at retailers pretty much daily--what is ASUS doing in their nefarious game, holding pre-built inventory in warehouses and letting it out dribble out to create the illusion of production?

My, my, but that's a wacky conspiracy theory. And to think, all it would take is one anonymous ASUS or factory employee to blow the whole thing wide open.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diamondback:
That'd be perfectly fine. The return and trade timeframe should end when ASUS can deliver you a new Prime within one week at the earliest point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BongoBong:
I would be surprised if they didnt keep producing the 201. Aside from the GPS its a fine product. Wifi is acceptable, and the BT issue sounds like it could be fixed (we will see on that one).

The 201 is still a pretty premium device at a good price point. A slightly better tablet starting at 600 can't completely take over the still very good tablet at 500. Price is pretty important still at this stage for android tablets.

Even if there was a exchange program for 100 dollars to upgrade not sure I would take it. I suppose the screen would be nice but there isn't even that many apps optimized for my primes screen as is, let alone a 1080p screen (and there are concerns over battery life, see how that goes). Navigation with GPS is not needed for me, and if those pics are how its going ot look when produced its ugly as sin.

We will see though
[Asus Transformer TF700] Itaintrite:
I doubt we'll see an exchange program, at least for early adopters. It's not a matter of a few weeks between launches so it doesn't make sense for them to allow people to exchange their 1/2-year-old tablet for a new one. Maybe if your Prime is just outside the return period when the TF700 comes out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] h0kum:
Lucky the TF700T has Tegra3 then...it's the ME171 which uses Qualcomm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
That spec only applies to new sales, those sold before the change are still entitled to some restitution because of the warranty issue and decreased performance. So those who are buying the TF201 with no gps on the spec are not entitled to any warranty claims against it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
I think this will be a great idea to pressure them into adopting an exchange program for people who purchased a Prime before a certain date. Just like they bit on the bootloader gripe, this will even be a bigger issue. The only logical thing to do is offer us an exchange. Good thing also is the spin the bigger tech sites are putting on it. Like how does this make OG Prime owners feel. We can make this happen. Start the thread and lets do this ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] morphiend:
asus better figure it out quick because when my prime goes back I'm a free agent customer to whoever makes the best product.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nxp3:
I don't feel there's going to be an exchange program. That's not fair to asus, just because people want a newer model they should change it for 100 more? No...I don't ask that of them. What I ask is that they give me the ooportunity to return the prime for my 500 back. Then if I choose to buy the newer one later, I should.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsharman:
Hi,

I have a B70 sbkv2 rooted TF101. Does anyone know if there is any hope of getting native linux running on this version of the device in the near future?

I bought my transformer in the hope of having a "quick fix" light weight road warrior netbook, so that I can do a little php development work on the move. Without being able to install linux the TF101 is not fit for the purpose for which I bought it.

As I am rooted can I install a linux image directly to the device? If so, where can I get one from or how can I do it? I don't mind if this is a one way trip, the transformer is not very useful to me in its current form.

If there isn't any way to install linux coming up in the near future (4 weeks or so) I am going to go and buy a netbook (which, with hindsight, might have been a better approach from the start!) and ditch the transformer altogether.

:-S

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Regards,

Darren

Thank you for that information. I guess I will go down the netbook route for the time being.

Is there one particular place where I should watch for an update about Linux on the B70? (for example, do you update this wiki ?? :- http://xdaforums.com/wiki/How_to_install_Ubuntu_on_an_Asus_EEEPad_Transformer ).

Hello all,

I am having an HDMI IN to DVI converter on my monitor, and I am unable to buy HDMI to DVI with Audio converter right now.

Is there any way where I can get the audio from 3.5mm jack/phone speaker instead of HDMI itself? The reason is audio signal is lost when we convert HDMI to DVI.
[LG Optimus 2x] tetrahedonism:
If you have a speaker system with an External source, plug it in there. Alternatively, you could plug it into the Mic port and tell Windows (Which I assume you're using!) not to mute any of the input.
[LG Optimus 2x] pd5009:
I have a speaker system, can I plug it in the 3.5mm jack output of my phone and at the same time use HDMI as a video source? I thought when using HDMI port, the 3.5mm jack audio of the phone would be disabled.
[LG Optimus 2x] alakyr:
it should work cause the HDMI audio is intented as the speaker of the phone then plugging in the 3.5" jack it should switch to it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
I ordered my Galaxy Nexus. It will arrive in a few days.

I am a former HTC Desire user. But it has been a year.

This is the question that should be asked I think.

Do we really need ROM?

If yes

Which one do you use and suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
When you actually get the device flash em all and YOU decide what is best.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Thats a unrealistic thing to ask a person to do.

Stock out of the box is a good experience. But if it becomes too boring. You'll want to flash custom ROMs.

Take a look at each roms thread and look at what they offer you. Pick the one with the most support and features that you'd like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidstyle:
Most roms are currently stock based, not a real noticeable difference...i would flash one of your choice just for the sake of running a different kernel. Thats where the biggest difference will be right now. Look up the franco kernel....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Absolutely not! What I think is awesome might be crap for someone else. No one can tell you what the best ROM is as it's 100% subjective.

To the OP - read the ROM threads and if something takes your fancy give it a go. My personal preference at the moment is bigxie's ROM. I find it does everything I want and battery life is immense
