Lol no way!

Snapdragon smokes it!

Samsung quadcore is coming In March! That will own the market!

That's what the pen is for if only it would have a slot in the tablet to hold the pen it would be perfect!

Also I noticed in one video the dock has 2 usb ports nify and they have nice plastic covers!

I hope sprint picks this up!

Also I have a question why do phones cost so much!? It's just a 3g/4g radio that's extra then a tablet!

It's like baby shoes nikes for babies should cost less because less material but guess what sometimes they are more!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
In Europe people can buy tablets with phone radios in them. That is to say they can simply move their SIM from their phone to their tablet and only pay for ONE data subscription.

In the US our carriers are screwing the daylights out of us (as usual) and you can't find a tablet with a phone radio in it (other than the brand new Galaxy Note, which I know nothing else about) to save your life.

The Pad Phone is Asus giving the carriers the digitus impudicus, and it's about time someone did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I do not think it is a US device I only see hspa mentioned on the padfone no lte at all... It might be sim only...

I wish I had a ****ing sim card! I do in my new ps vita lol but 30$ a gb is crazy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Padfone does have LTE radio in it. its using the same dual core 1.5Ghz Qualcomm S4 Snapdragon chip with LTE radio built in it as the data connection version of Infinity Tf-700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
It won't be coming to sprint they suck haven't released a good phone in almost 5 months! Still no date on the gnex
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I agree. that's why I refuse to buy a data connected tablet and pay extra for tethering data plan. if I'm already paying for data, don't try to drain me dry by forcing more costs/bills on me. thing is, carriers never imagined the iPhone, other phones, and tablets would use as much data as they do now. so that is their way of trying to screw us. that's why most companies got rid of unlimited data plans. I commend Sprint for still allowing it. but they still want to charge extra for hotspots tethering feature. Glad I'm Grandfathered into At&T unlimited data plan. Been with them since it was Suncom, then Cingular, then AT&T assimilated them all. I really wish we could've assimilated T-Mobile. other carriers complained to much and seen that as too big of an advantage for At&T.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
In case you haven't heard, next Google Nexus model might actually be made by LG. there's articles on it. it would be good if they did that though. it'll show they not giving Motorola preferential treatment over other manufacturers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Sprint was the best before I had yearly phone upgrades and unlimited data! Then they took away those upgrades and now are not even releasing cutting edge phones! Verizon has a new one every week! Hell 10 bucks a month ad on for each smartphone is not bad at all...

Demandarin,

Thanks for the videos. While watching one, I happen to see a related video about the Tf700. The guy clicked on the "about Tablet" and I saw they had some different software....

GPS....V6.9.17

Wifi.....V6.2.1.24

BT.....v9.29

I am sure this is no shock to any of you guys. I just wanted to lay that out there in case some where interested and or overlooked this.

Thanks for the heads up in the last two threads. I still feel pretty good about my purchase of the Prime.....(he its no Vita....lol). I was real happy to see in the videos that they are using (or appear to be) the same TF201 dock/keyboard.

-Jason :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I didn't even catch that. good find. I still feel good about my purchase also. with all these new devices, we won't have the "Newest" device anymore but that's OK. that's how the tech industry is. im about finding a high powered device with longevity and being satisfied with it. there will always be something new or better right around the corner. its still a great device, as long as the one you got working good..lmao developement already taking off with the Prime now. Prime/Tegra3 is what kicked off the next evolution of all these new chips n tablets coming out now. I'm sure with all these new tablets Asus announced, other companies won't underestimate us now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I'm glad you didn't!

I like my network just fine without all that extra congestion flowing over and screwing me up. Prices hiking everywhere and being charged per use :eek:

I'm grandfathered in on unlimited web and text with T-Mobile, sadly it's only at that retarded 5 GB "high speed data allotment." I tether all day any day though, but the connection around here is only EDGE (and now that we'll be able to roam on AT&T's 3G? They limit roaming bandwidth to a pathetic 100MB per month!**) so I sadly don't get much for doing so :D

**Which I'm pretty sure actually goes against my original plan/contract which offered unlimited roaming -- I know it did because I used to always use the local Unicel network because it was a tad bit quicker than the T-Mobile towers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
where was the memo 370t?!?! that's the tablet i'm most interested in. i hope its non appearance doesn't mean it's shelved or anything. i returned my prime once that was announced. i'm looking forward to what samsung has to offer but only if they're priced competitively (which i doubt).

oh, you know I'm laughing really hard. fail by their own executive..lmfao thanks for the laugh. this is what happens when there is too much choice. that galaxy note 5.3in. is killing and eating away at their tablet sales. I like the galaxy note Phablet. but that PadFone is looking mighty tempting right now. still have to decide what new phone ill get. at least they doing very well in phone sector. this might be Asus n other companies chances to eat away more at their share of tablet market. since other companies aren't suffering from too much choices syndrome or has phablets to compete with their own tablet lines.

breaking news. just in. Apple ipad3 will not be using the Quad core A6 28nm chip like originally thought. they didn't have time to perfect it. instead they will be using a powerful dual core A5x chip. could be clocked around 1.8Ghz. with this announcement gives android the upper hand with devices out now or coming that's quad core. ipad3 will have to step it up in features to make up for this.

www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2012/02/28/report_apple_ipad_3_will_not_have_quad-core_processir
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Until March 7th.. everything about Apple is rumor. Anyways, even if it is true.. and they might call it iPad 2S... it'll still sell extremely well over any Android competition. When it comes to Apple & their fan base.. it was never about the "hardware" anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Uberchu:
Dude...that site is so late on the times.

http://www.imore.com/2012/02/26/apple-rumored-working-a5x-a6-chipsets-generation-devices/

Apple is working on the A5X and the A6 simultaneously. I like Android and all, but I would use a more up to date source instead of something outdated just to make Android look good. A5X is probably in the next Apple TV.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
true..but there was alot of hype surrounding new device having new quad core A6. as usual, apple fans will est it up. I liked my Ipad but having this Prime and running Android on tablet form has made me realize how much I wasn't able to do on IOS. Android just kills IOS in features and customization. when will apple zombies finally realize there's more to a tablet than just a plain Ol homescreen with apps on it? when will they finally realize how much they're limiting themselves running on IOS? SMH. apple is cool but Android Rocks, IMO. I still have my Ipad n whenever I check it out now, if feels all clunky n slow compared to my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
afterdawn published date of article is Feb. 28. one you linked is Feb. 26. anyways, we will see in a few days. apple is good for holding back. probably release less powerful chip then make you upgrade on next version afterwards for the A6. they love to milk their customers out of money
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
You're comparing outdated device to current device... of course it'll feel sluggish. At this moment, iOS and Android are clearly going after different market....

iOS, for all of its "limits".. is still an excellent OS & has vast APP collection that Android can only dream of atm..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
>Dual core tablets

>Competition

>No.jpg
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
That's true shinzz.

But then the iPad three is going to double the resolution and use a dual-core(?), so I imagine the experience isn't going to change too much.

My only real quib with the iPhone and iPad is that it's the exact same OS just blown up. No actual differentiation in use or function, even though it's totally different forms.

You're right about the apps. But the thing I always notice is that the majority of them are FarmVille type games... And they keep all the good stuff from existing legitimately, you have to unlock and trust random ass people on the internet with some home-brew apps.

Android has tons of generally useful apps that exist legitimately in the Market, even though some of them compete with Google's or carriers' services themselves.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Android market is catching up very fast. faster than apple would like. more than people realize. only thing holding back android market really now is dedicating a section to tablet only apps just like apple app store has. tired of sifting through trying to find the tablet dedicated apps only.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Sony admits to not having any kind of quad core focus on their tablets till 2013. they voice power and battery life concerns. so nothing groundbreaking for them. they are completely out the loop in high end tablet market. where power is first then battery life second.

www.androidpolice.com/2012/03/01/so...-2013-cites-battery-and-performance-concerns/

no competition from then. by the time they finally catch on to quad core, others will be moving on.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dynamikd:
I'm definitely digging the direction that Android tablets are going in. The specs, form factor and functionality are great IMO. Nevertheless, my complaint is with the app developers. Almost every damn app that is made for IOS is better than its Android counterpart! I have a huge problem with that. I mean seriously why even waste your time if you are just going to throw something together. Users are going to notice it, call you on it, and not support your work (i.e pay/donate for your work).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
That Padfone looks like a beauty and is just what I need as my Treo 700p phone is on it's last leg, the touchscreen doesn't even work on this old phone anymore.

I wonder how much that thing is going to cost and it looks like it's compatible with the Transformer Prime's keyboard dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I've never owned an Apple product and most likely never will. I'm guessing most people here feel the same way. But they are extremely good at what they do. And the only difference between existing and next-gen Android h/w is speed. That's not why people buy Apple tablets and not why they didn't choose first-gen Android products. At the rate ICS devices are being released and existing devices updated it'll be a year from launch before it achieves critical mass. A polished, easy to use, well stocked eco-system will influence the masses. Not Teg3, S4, Exynos 5250, or even A6. Apple products are for people that don't want to think about technology.

There will never be one. The solution to framentation was ICS and developers are supposed to be creating a single app that supports multiple resolutions.

The key to good graphics performance is the GPU, not the CPU. As simple as iOS is I can't see it taxing the CPU. Even if they use the existing iPad2 dual-core GPU it's already more capable than both Teg3 and S4 anyway.

I am looking to replace an eight year old laptop and the Lenovo Ultrabook Yoga is looking quite appealing.

Samsung had an 11.6 inch tablet on display at CES that got my attention but after having the Prime in my hands for a couple of weeks before returning it I realized that I was missing the keyboard.

I am hoping that there will be more offerings along the same lines as the Yoga in the near future by other manufacturers. Unfortunately the Yoga won't be made available until W8 is released.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Hot off the press! GOOGLE ZNEXUS TABLET IS A DONE DEAL @ $149. Google contracted Asus to make it. The sad news is that they dropped Tegra3 support. Reason being to lower the costs even more. So hopefully it can cost only $149 and take away all the kindle fire and low end tablet sales. Which is a smart move. But we don't know what new processor will be in it instead. Probably something not as powerful as tegra3 but still good. I can't see them putting some suck face processor in it with Google nexus as the branding. ALSO the Asus Memo we all heard about and seen has been scraped for this Nexus model. So no 7 in. Asus model with tegra3 is coming.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
That does look pretty interesting. Only things that looks weird about it is that in tablet mode you have your keyboard as your backplate which potentially could be very odd. Liking the bigger screen as well. I don't find myself using my prime one handed often, and when I do its not extended periods of time, so being a bit larger/heavier wouldn't be a big deal to me, and the extra screen size would be nice.

Really the only way I would replace the prime though is for something that has a keyboard dock (or that lenova design could potentially be ok as well), and also has support for an active stylus. The precision and palm rejection is just not good enough on the prime.

Also one thing the op could mention is that the galaxy note 10.1 is going to be able to run 2 apps on the screen at once.

Probably the good old omap 4430 lol. That's too bad though as a low cost tegra 3 tablet would have been great for getting more optimized software our way.

Oh well, I gotta get back to overclocking my tegra. I think ill take it apart today.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
OMAP 4430 is fine. The one major complaint with last year's tabs (all Teg2) was that HD vids weren't playable. OMAP4 can do 1080p. Nvidia-sponsored games aside, most apps don't push the CPU.

The Nook Tablet & KFire would have been decent 7" tabs, if it weren't for the NT's locked bootloader and the Fire's lack of SD slot.

I doubt $149 will happen, as that would be in craptab territory. If Goog is to bestow it with its Nexus moniker, it can't be a completely stripped device. The Fire's BOM estimate is about same as its price. I very much doubt material costs would have dropped 25% in 5 months' time. This, not counting marketing & distribution costs.

A $199 Nexus tablet would have no trouble selling against the Fire. There's no need for Goog to gut its tab to go any lower.

In case you haven't heard, next Chrysler model might actually be made by GM. It would be good if they did that though.

Well, isn't that interesting? Acer undercut Asus & Transformer Prime by $50 bucks for roughly the same specification.

However.. I wonder how appealing it'll be since it's only $50 cheaper compared to the new iPad. But, if I was able to get my refund on Transformer Prime.. this is the android tablet (or Samsung's tablet) was looking forward to replace it with til Win 8 tablets arrive.

GET READY! NVIDIA CEO announces that the powerful 28nm Kepler Based PC GPU's are heading to superphones and tablets soon. Leave it to Nvidia to bring the heat. Once these based gpu hit the mobile market, nothing any competitor has can even touch them. Very exciting news to hear. This gpu will make apple n others look like gameboy graphics compared to high end PC games. Lol. That's why I said before, I'm sticking with Nvidia. They push the envelope and bring the latest technology to the forefront.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Future a synonym for soon..lmao ill give it 2 yrs. Tops. Most of the top 500 companies all use Nvidia based GPU. So the process could be accelerated by business sector demand. Time will tell though.

Plus regardless to your other comment, Tegra3 still most powerful Android chipset and has the most powerful GPU and CPU Soc combination on the market today. No denying that. Until something better finally arrives, it reigns king of Android. So if you looking for the most power and best graphics performance on Android, Tegra3 is the only solution. ;)

OP updated with new video on Arm Cortex A15 MPcore Processor

" So how fast exactly is Cortex-A15? It is capable of processing 14 billion instructions per second (DMIPS, Dhrystone million instructions per second) at 2.0 GHz. That’s almost double the performance over a current Cortex-A9-based dual core processor running at 1.5 GHz, capable of 7,500 DMIPS. It also means it should be faster than Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon S4 and NVIDIA’s Tegra 3.

Memory bandwidth has been increased to a staggering 12.8 Gigabytes per second (GB/s). Once again, that is double the 6.4 GB/s maximum found in current dual-core Cortex-A9 processors"

this will be in Samsung new processor coming and You know this will also be in Nvidia new Tegra4 . of course Nvidia will get the most power out of it though ;)

In all your post you forgot to mention that A5x mops the floor with Tegra 3 when it comes to games and graphics.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
what? Of course there's more games on the Apple store than Google Play but on the few review sites I saw showing game comparisons of the same game on the iPad 3 (that uses the A5X GPU) against the Transformer Prime, the Transformer Prime looked better.

Granite the iPad 3 outperforms the TFP in certain GPU benchmark tests but that's entirely different set of circumstance comparisons that what you make.
