[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Good point, but not so much lower, the price stated is for the 32GB version of A700, so probably about 50€ less than the corresponding version of TF700T (and it is both heavier and weaker than Infinity, I have been thinking of buying one because of good experience with Acer too, but it's not really the same, plus the dock...)

...and I am still kind of hoping for the 3G version with less battery-hungry Snapdragon S4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Evergreen74:
I am afraid I am not allow to post links yet... The July release date has been confirmed at least 3 times through their Twitter account.

Just google "twitter asus iberica" and you will get it (5th tweet right now).

I agree with July being a lot more likely than June.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

The catch is that would be over $750 with the dock, so seems a better buy to get a Windows 8 low volt laptop with the generation 3 chipset.

Of course, I paid $700 for a 64gb iPad 3, so what the heck do I know?? :confused:: ;) Hypocrite personified.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
what I am most curious to see is if they can actually deliver the thing. the Prime is STILL barely anywhere to be found...there are either parts shortages or they are purposely restricting stock (other reason, feel free to chime in, FLYING off the shelves is not an answer, they simply aren't that hot or they would bump up production).

300 seems to be available. they better fix the hardware related issues from the prime and actually be able to stock the thing. It sucks for a release when you can either A) be an early adopter and maybe face some serious issues or B) wait to see how the first few weeks go, but be unable to buy the damn thing after that because its not available anywhere.

Please be flawless
[Asus Transformer TF700] Screwedupsmitty:
Heavier, ok, get to the gym if u cant hold ur tab. Weaker, how? Same tegra 3 processor, maybe a slower clock but with root we can push that to the same levels. Honestly, I feel safer buying the acer because the worst problem with it is maybe some heat dispersion issues, which is relatively normal since anything nvidia makes runs at about a million degrees anyways, and fixed with a case. Asus on the otherhand has wifi/bt/lightbleed/supply issues in a high percentage of tablets. Toshiba has terrible lightbleed as well (will return mine in the next week). If i am paying for a 1080p screen, i was my blacks black. Acer is the only company so far to be able to deliver a quad core without major hangups and I say kudos to them for undercutting asus. They may not have the dev scene now, but I'm hoping that changes when they notice how sexy the a510 is and the 700 to follow. Battery life is faaarrrrr superior, probably even out lasts the acers with a dock. 10 hours easy on the a510 streaming netflix.

Heres gonna be the deciding points for educated people such as ourselves on XDA

TF700t

1. 600nit screen

2. Keyboard dock (remember thats +150$)

3. Aluminum

4. Likely to have screen bleed wifi/bt issues

5. High risk for early adopters

A700

1. Likely superior battery life out of the box (wait to be seen if its > w/ dock)

2. No screen wifi/bt issues

3. Likely to be well stocked after first few weeks

4.Likely to run hot on chipset side during extended gaming use

4. Low risk for early adopters
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Get to the gym, really? This is your answer? Nice conversational skills, your mom should be proud! Perhaps this is how it is done in Ohio, though. Through the gym, I mean. And the fora.

Some of us actually read a lot of books on those things for many hours.

And back to Iconia, again - 20% heavier, no dock, Tegra 3 only (heat, battery life), lower clock speed, worse camera, more or less same price for the 32GB version (479 EUR) as for Infinity 64GB WiFi version (499 EUR). And I am not sure as to the 4G version.

PS "Please don't forget not to thank people who only thumbed through Schopenhauer while still trying to use witty arguments on the forum" would be so much better!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alkzn:
I had a short chat with someone from spaceworld.no today. He told me that he would come back to me today or tomorrow, clearly I wont hear from him till tomorrow as its 9.15 pm here atm.

I will keep you posted about what he says.

To clear up, he is giving me the date they will get the Infinity pad in stock. It said may 28 yesterday, and the guy from their facebook page told me it was certain, but I wanted more information on the date, so I sent them an email.

Hopefully I will get an answer tomorrow, without having to send yet another email, but anyways, I will keep you posted.

Yes, it's a risk getting the device this early, but I actually think it will work fine, ofc some issues may be there, but I'll survive and report whatever I have troubles with.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Screwedupsmitty:
wohhhhhhh NERD RAGE ENGAGE! Take a joke man, I wasn't insulting your e-penis.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
Ok, so remember this is the Infinity thread. If you want to set up a thread comparing it to another device please do. And no flaming please :mad:

Lets keep this thread for NEWS about the Infinity, and until the 28th we wont have real news from Sweden. Just 5 days guys, lets see what happens :)

Official Asus info until now:

Italy: June 10 Release (source: http://notebookitalia.it/prezzi-ufficiali-e-date-per-asus-padfone-transformer-pad-300-e-700-14493)

Sweden: May 28 Press release with sales details (source: http://www.facebook.com/asussverige/posts/410473225653401)

Spain: July Sales (source: https://twitter.com/_evergreen74/status/203524130186858496)

Anything that isnt sourced directly from Asus is just speculation :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronaldheld:
3 dates instead of one for the EU does not fill me with confidence, and I live on tne US.

Why not a release worldwide on the szme day?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Screwedupsmitty:
we got the TFP first, its only fair to share the love. The time will come soon, hopefully before Windows8 comes into play or I'm gonna have to make some tough decisions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
I think the Infinity will get hot too. Pushing data with high res is a lot for the gpu. iPad 3 is example.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronaldheld:
If it does not come before there are Win 8 tablets, that will be a hard decision to make.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Hence my concern about getting the Snapdragon version..
[Asus Transformer TF700] grimmer190:
Launch Date

Official ASUS Australia information dates the TF700 as "expected to arrive around July time frame".

Source: news.softpedia.com/news/ASUS-TF700-Infinity-Tablet-Gets-July-Launch-271281.shtml (Redirect from ASUS Australia Facebook page)

Does anybody know approximately how much earlier do other countries usually get ASUS stuff before Australia? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
As already mentioned, unless Asus states dates, pure guessing and preorder positioning by retailers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jdor:

[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:
And everyone shot me down for saying it won't be released until late this year just based on the FCC pass. Well, there ya go. Not much in an FCC pass. "Around" July means August. Slap on a couple more months for part delays, storms, rain, snow, whatever and then you have late 2012. :)

Only Apple can do that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
Probably random and doesnt mean anything, but a norwegian store just put the LTE version out for preorder.

http://cdon.no/elektronikk/transfor...term=Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700KL+LTE+Cha
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Interesting. It has been available for pre-order in Switzerland for quite some time now, but only the 32-gig version: http://shop.heinigerag.ch/de/categories/telekommunikation/tablets-8205/asus-820501

This cdon.no site is pretty weird in their description of what they're actually selling. How do you interpret the set price for one device, which has "32GB/64GB" in its description?

helfone, could you please help me interpret these listings? Does it mean these prices are for the pad with dock included or pad only?
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
The description is very wierd yes. I cant figure it out anymore then u can. based on the price I doubt its with the keyboard. As to memory, maybe since its more expensive than the 64gb wifi model its the 64gb 3g model? I dont know.

The site also doesnt specify any arrival date.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
My guess is CDON just Googled out some specifications and added the pre-order without any idea of a release date. Asus will probably tell them to get rid of it until furthe notice (as they did with Multicom).

I'm going to wait until Asus have had their press release/whatever on the 28th, and take it from there. If they then tell us the TF700 will be available in June and the 3G/LTE "at a later date", I'll get the Wifi version.

If they manage to actually say something stupid along the lines of the TF700 being available "soon" (you know, like Duke-Nukem-Forever-soon, Half-Life-3-soon, cold-fusion-soon etc), I will sacrifice three goats at full moon and curse their name and company. Then I'll probably go buy an iPad 3.

My Windows ME PC was more reliable than the Asus marketing department...
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks! Sounds like roulette, pre-ordering with them.. ;-)
[Asus Transformer TF700] banone:
Here we go:rolleyes: Not that its a big surprise or anythin.. Just received this mail from spaceworld.no:

"Vi må dessverre beklage at vi ikke greier å levere din ordre som avtalt.

Vår leverandør bekreftet at vi skulle få inn et parti med Asus Infinity på lager den 28.05.12 og vi la derfor ut denne til forhåndssalg med levering i slutten av mai. Dessverre fikk vi uventet i dag retur beskjed om at varene ikke blir levert til lager før den 19.06

Vi har ikke på noen måte gått inn for å luer deg til å bestille denne via oss for å så utsette leveringsdatoen og vi skal selvfølgelig gjøre det vi kan for å få ditt produkt levert til deg snarest mulig.

Vi synes dette er veldig beklagelig og du står selvfølgelig fritt til å kansellere din ordre hos oss og få pengene returnert asap eller vente på at produktet kommer inn.

Vi beklager igjen på det sterkeste dette.

Skulle du ha spørsmål ang dette kontakt oss på kundeservice@spaceworld.no eller 22573024"

Basically they say they have just been informed that they won't get the infinity until June 19. They apologize, and claim that it was not their intention to trick anyone into anything, and that i am free to cancel the order.

So there you have it. If it sounds to god to be true and so on...:rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
thanks for that!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
Like i said before, once one store puts up a device with an imaginary release date, the other stores are forced to do something similar, sometimes even trumping the other stores release date to either gain more pre-orders, or not loose any to the other companies.

Until you see the indicator next to the stock saying they have *at least* 2 or 3, you still cant be sure if they really have it.

Last year my company ordering in some Ipads from Webhallen. Webhallen said they had 1 in stock, and we reserved it and went into town to pick it up. When we arrived at the store our order had magically *vanished*. Turns out the store owner removed our order and took the Ipad for himself.

Guys, stick to the biggest store you know usually gets all the new cool tech, and wait them out. Small stores will do almost anything to get new customers!
[Asus Transformer TF700] banone:
Mulitcom has also changed the date. first it was 21/5, then 28/5, and now it is 10/6. I think end of June is the safest bet right now.

Google 7-inch tablet PC to ship in June

Wow, this is a surprise! Check this out: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120523PD214.html. @Demandarin, could this possibly mean you would abandon your beloved Prime next month? :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
I guess its basically official now. I will have both. ill buy this as a bday gift to myself.

I might even get my hands on an Infinity pad ;)

[Asus Transformer TF700] David Dee:

[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
In related news, At&t just aporoved/validated nvidia icera 4g" modem for use on its network. child be possible that S4 version of infinity pad gets scrapped and replaced with either tegra3+ or a current tegra3 paired with this modem. s4 having manufacturing issues & can't meet demand this year. tegra3 is plentiful & in abundace. its process is doing vRey well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
With Tegra 3 readily available, and this is a serious question, what is/was the deal with the prime being impossible to find in stock for months?
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoeyLe:
Pretty stupid they announced it so early really. The thing standing there at the CES wasn't even the TF700 as it will be going into the shells. Much can be said about Apple, but Asus is messing this up every time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Great question. I wish I knew the answer. we have yet to see official results on how many they actually produced & sold. maybe prime was more of testing the water for 300 or infinity pad. who knows.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
That's about the single biggest question I'd like an answer to, and I doubt we see one. Here's to hoping the 700 is worth the anticipation, or that the Asus/Google tab is rock solid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tempie007:
and the big question: who is gonna spend his hard earned money on betatesting this new device.. wouldnt it be better to wait for 2Nd or 3rd revision and/or some software patches before buying this device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I am. Kind of. Wasn't so hard earned anyway. Will let you know about the results ;) but guessing from the posts I am not the only one who feels it's a good thing to do with one's money.
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
yeah that would be me! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockstatus90:
I think the beta-testing was the Prime, and this is the result...the Infinity, hopefully?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
sadly I think this is possibly true.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
The thing that attracted me to the original TF101, way back when, was the keyboard dock and extended battery. But now, the equivalent setup on the 700 is going to be, what, 50% more expensive? I wish I could buy one, but I doubt I'll be able to justify it to Mrs. No More Electronics.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
google/asus nexus tablet likely a reality!

this might make you smile. very affordable
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronaldheld:
Buy tbe infinity first and the dock during a sale?
[Asus Transformer TF700] safarigirl:
+1

I AM!! Well actually I'm using my newegg gift certificate, which includes the refund of my TF201+dock return. :) I even have two beautiful tuffluv covers, initially purchased for the TF201, waiting for my new toy to arrive. BTW the black leather is classic and the hemp is very, very nice. Call me crazy but I think the TF700T will be what I was expecting from the TF201 with a couple of added features. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas.

The good is you can return the item if it does not live up to your standards; as I had no problem doing with my two garbage TF201s. I absolutely agree with others that the TF201 was the betatest. :D We may still experience software glitches, same as any other device, but the hardware should be as expected. Keep in mind you can always get a defective unit. The individual just needs to be bright enough to return the defective product instead of keeping it and *****ing about it after the return window has closed. JMHO.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
Wonder if Amazon would take a child in trade? :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
lol..i added another one, the original source, to that post also. more detailed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
is there any talk (or has it been officially stated) that the infinity with get ddr3 RAM, being the flagship model and all?
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
the original specs from way back showed ddr2. But recent specs I've seen showed ddr3. which would make since and would be the best for infinity pad. Haven't seen anything "Official" stating it though. I think it will have it. especially since its commanding the higher price point. nothing certain yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rwniel:
The only figures we really have is for shipped tablets during Q1 2012 which was 600,000 . I would imagine that the largest proportion of those would be the original TF101 transformer though.

[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:

[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Sure, two 7" tablets combined is even better than one 10" tablet, and if you carry all three of them, you could actually make a docking station with keyboard out of the third! ;)

Oh and on the getting an Infinity even if I am worried it might be a bit crummy at fitst? Hell yeah been wanting one for ages. One can always send it back.

I have to say though the keynoard dock does seem to be a game changer for me. Current tab don't have one and all my TF101 or Prime owning mates have said it is a must have.

To Infinity and Beyond!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eli6093:
In Italy, they'll be selling it for 599 Euros. Currently, they sell the Prime there for 599 Euros, while here, it's $500. I'm really excited for 64 gigs for the price of 16!
[Asus Transformer TF700] setmeupnow:
I am really torn on whether to pre-order a TF700t when Amazon starts accepting pre-orders, or wait a few extra months to make sure there are no more hardware issues. My wife got an iPad 3 from her office, and if she gets to keep it for an extended period of time, she will give me the Xoom I bought her last year. The Xoom should tide me over until high resolution tablets are where I want them to be.

Two different Best Buys near me have TF201s on display. I've played with them extensively and was very satisfied with the experience. Of course, flipping through applications and testing out the on screen keyboard is only a small part of the experience.

The keyboard dock is too small for me, I make mistakes typing. If I wanted a tiny asus laptop, I would just wait for the UX21a (or perhaps the 31a) which I may end up getting as well.

[Asus Transformer TF700] David Dee:
I have to agree with you 100% on the TF300t. I bought it to play with while waiting for the Infinity and it is awesome. Everything works perfectly, very smooth, good display, good sound and battery life is more than adequate for me. I may just keep it as this more than meets my needs at $512 including the dock. Will be nice to not have to check Infinity news and rumors everyday and just enjoy this great tablet!

[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
well this might make some people happy. It seems the Data version of the 300 and tf700T just passed through FCC. I think Asus might have scraped going with qualcomm s4 and instead sticking with tegra3. Especially since Nvidia new 4g Radio, Icera, was just recently approved to work on At&t network. So we will likely see the 4g version of 300 and 700 using tegra3 paired with new Icera technology. Great move on asus part as they cant afford to wait on S4 manufacturing issues that cant even meet demand.

First screenshot is info on 300 passing through FCC. second is the actual filing for the TF-700T

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...ame=N&application_id=374808&fcc_id='MSQTF700T'

I'm looking through all the PDF files now. seems this might hit U.S. sooner than thought. plus another revelation so far. There are two models: TF700t & TF0070T
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
what oh what does it all mean...
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
it means that its FCC approved. Now we have the wifi version and the 4g version passed through FCC. i saw on one of the pages that it said these results or 4g unit not meant to be used outside of U.S.A. or something to that nature. plus Nvidia just had its new Icera 4g modem approved by At&t. so we will likely see the 300 and 700 having tegra3 paired with new icera radio module. The 700 having a more powerful/updated tegra3. hopefully the version that has the 25% increased GPU power.

I couldn't find anything specifically stating what chipset its using. I downloaded and scanned through all FCC filing documents. But recent news and announcements are pointing to Asus possibly scraping the S4 version. Maybe now that nvidia has a solution for 4g thats already been approved by AT&T and since qualcomm cant meet S4 supplies demand, Asus is sticking with Tegra3 across the board on all versions. Same for 300. We will know for sure very soon. I hope they stick with tegra3 across the board as its Multimedia capabilities, which tf700 having a 1080P display is focused around, is far superior to S4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
My main interrest is in if there will be a new chip, gpu with 25% increase as u say. I'd absolutely be interrested in that, but only if it arrives soon enough... Really do not want to wait longer then I really must...
