[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=STABASUTF700TA just found this, might give an idea as to UK pricing. 32GB with dock, £450. no idea how legit this company is, and they have none in stock, but its the first UK retailer ive seen with any price so its something i guess. seems pretty reasonable.

bring on some well know retailers with stock!

EDIT:

after reading the description fully, i dont even know what theyre claiming/thinking theyre selling, as it seems to have a jumble of specs from various Eee pads....
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
That is not the infinity. Look at the specs.... that's the prime

New video

New video on the Infinity just appeared on Youtube today. It was put out by ASUS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bkman64:
Nice Video. I just searched it on youtube and filtered by date. Explains more about the camera too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JPop360:
Easiest way to find the video is to search 'AsusCol' on YouTube. :D Enjoy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I'm not quite finding it. Was it taken down, or am I just failing at search?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
I'm not finding it either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] darethehair:
I just watched it about 5 minutes ago, and just now went back to check. It is gone! My 'like' link now points to a 'private' video :( My link shows that 45 people got to view it before that happened...
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
can you give me the link, please? i can't find it
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Still good news, if they have promo videos up on their youtube channel it cant be far from release.Hoping that June 25th rumor pans out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JPop360:
Confirmed, the video is now private. Video is here - /watch?v=PpgrTTS6RXY

(Even if it is pointless).
[Asus Transformer TF700] bkman64:
Oh wow. It did go private but I saw it just before that. Basically it talked a lot about the overall improvements in construction and really focused a section on the camera and how they did thorough testing on the camera to give a more quality experience. It was 8 minutes long and covered the device nicely. This is going to be my first tablet. I was enticed by the surface at first but I just love Android too much and I am certainly hoping that Google IO this coming week has a lot of future improvements in store for the platform.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rcatron:
How is the Surface going to be a viable competitor to the Infinity? It will work properly for one. It seems that everyone is very quick to pick up the Infinity - in light of the Prime fiasco. I for one will not be rushing out to buy one. In fact, may never own another Asus product.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
so the uploader just uploaded the video today, and he also took it down today?

and one thing: i thought this tablet will be released with android Jelly Bean or whatever they're calling, but in fact it's android 4.0.3
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I could say the exact same thing about the Surface by pointing to the Zune (massive date glitch that rendered devices completely unusable) and Xbox 360 (RROD) as prior examples. I'm sorry that your prime didnt work out for you, but just because they had one bad product doesnt mean they're all messed up... the OG Transformer and the TF300 seem to be pretty solid.

My point is, neither product is out. They both look like they'll be great devices, and they target somewhat different crowds. Go for the one that works better for you, but don't mindlessly bash whatever you choose not to go with.

Major revisions (X.X.0) are typically reserved for official developer devices that are part of Google's Nexus line. Then they're put into AOSP where manufactures and anyone else who wants it can do stuff with it, like create updates or use it in new devices. Right now the only one who has access to Jellybean is Google since its not finished or announced yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtavera:
i think the date we all wait is 25 guys..... lol and the video ;( we miss it lol. lucky everyone
[Asus Transformer TF700] akleeuw:
I am not so sure about that.

The Surface performed gloriously for the president of Windows and Windows Live Division as illustrated in this video:

www . youtube . com/watch?v=JcCYxeK_rkU

(remove spaces to see)

In any case, I am anxious to see the Infinity released. I had the prime in Early January, but the Wireless and GPS annoyed me too much that I returned it. Otherwise, I was happy with the rest of it. Hopefully the infinity is it! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] t3ej4y:
Here you go guys, the launch video got uploaded to another channel before it got taken down:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gz_OtT0hmc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Tnx 4 the link!

Suddenly I feel like all the waiting was worth it. It really looks like they've improved the Prime's design much more than I originally thought.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
awesome new video. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Thanks for mirroring the video. Some of the wording in it sounds like we will definitely get it by the end of the month.
[Asus Transformer TF700] t3ej4y:
Not my channel, just sharing what I found :)

I doubt it'll make the waiting any easier though :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
Nice video. It's obviously targetted towards the US customers with the American voiceover and mention of the Hulu app but, hey, so what - I still want one ...NOW! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
August :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] ant_thomas:
After leaving my Original Transformer on a flight this week it looks like I'll be waiting for this to be released as its replacement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
That's for the UK market, it should arrive sooner in other markets. I thought we knew that...

My guess is 08.07. because that's the date those swiss stores put as a restock date.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
In The Netherlands it seems like webshops recently received their Transformer Prime supplies, probably ordered many months ago? They have hundreds of them in stock.

I wonder what they will do with them when the Infinity releases, considering it will most likely replace the Prime at the same price point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Over here it's the similar story with the 101 and the 300, there are many tf101's in stores here and they're basically the same price as the 300... Ah well, it's their problem I guess :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Well shops do have a habit of passing on their problems to consumers :) I hope they won't secretly (and illegally) decide to keep the price of the Infinity up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
Are you kidding? If all you use excel for is making lists, maybe yes.

I have yet to see a single non-MSO office program that will not go crazy when it sees the documents I have to work with - serious stuff with nested formulas (including database ones) and heavy conditional formatting.

Same goes for Word - most people use only ~5% of it, according to statistics, but not all of them. Even MSO2008 for mac, though much more versatile than any android\ios office app, did not come up to the par with MSO\Win (no idea about the last MSO\Mac, but still). Don't forget, as well, some people just love MS Access. Which can not be replaced by anything under android\ios.

The only MSO app I can see as easily replaced by android\ios substitute is PowerPoint, but that's 'cause it's primitive as heck.

So, while android is simply great for media consumption\recreation (less real serious games), Win8 (not rt) is more for work\content creation. Ideally, I'd love to see something like transformer book \ acer w510 with both os'es on board - Android and Win8, but so far only some concepts from Asus (a monoblock-desktop with detachable 18" "tablet"-screen) boast such approach.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Heheh, that'strue.

Well, as you said they are bound by law... And there's the competition, lower prices give you a better chance of selling the device.

I haven't seen that happen with the tf300.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
I don't think you understand his point. Cloud services allow you to use MS Office products on a windows machine (a virtual machine), by streaming the video output to your tablet.

In Russia, prices are kept high by everybody (apparently, without any cartel agreements) - you don't have alternatives (except buying abroad).

My bad, you've got a point. Wouldn't like to depend on having a connection to be able to work with my files, though.

If you're paranoid, that doesn't mean there's nobody after you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
In mother Russia, elecronics buy you!

Sorry, I couldn't resist ^^
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
Kinda hard to ignore 375 million people with money.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Say, has anyone else noticed the placement of ports on the infinity? Not quite the same as on the prime if I'm not mistaken.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Yeah, so we need to wait for manufactures to create new cases, screen protectors and docks. ^^
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Having to wait until August is such a drag.

Might get one of these just to tide me over like!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...p=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0081HFPSG
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Meh, I wasn't impressed with prime's cases anyway, as for the screen protectors and docks, it looks like they'lll work just fine as it seems only the headphones and uHDMI ports were moved (not that I'd put a screen protector on mine).

I'll probabbly just use a 10" netbook neoprene case.

Not bad, I like the ZTE t98... Just don't forget you're paying for a cheap chinese tablet there :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Kinda thinking it might fill a whole and at only a hundred dabs quite affordable. Something I can just give away as a present when done with it too
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
When you are "done" with your Galaxy S3 I'll be sure to share my birthday with you ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mcComBat:

[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
You can see the ports placement around 04:35 in the video
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Ha ha! Think the S3 might have a little more resale value!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Anyone recommends a certain neoprene sleeve? I've never had one before. I guess the thinner and tighter the fit, the better? Does it matter what brand one buys with these things, as they seem kind of basic?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
I'm basically interested in the same thing...

One thing I can say from past experience is that a too tight fit can be worse than a too loose fit. If the bag is too tight the device tends to stick out if it doesn't have a zipper, and if it does have a zipper it tends to scratch the edges of the device when zipping it up.

A friend of mine has a nice leather case which is layered with some kind of hard metal plates from the inside which are again covered with fabric from the inside. It doesn't just protect.the device from scratching but also from bending and all kinds of other external damage, quite a nice thing. Unfortunately I can't remember the model or the maker of the case, but I'll ask.

I guess the ideal scenario would be if you could try the case/bag before you buy it to make sure it's a snug fit.

Another advice: avoid cheap chinese neoprene cases from ebay, I once bought one for my SGSII and it couldn't fit inside at all, really rubbish.

All that said I found a chinese (yes I know) case to my liking, this one has zipper guards along the edges so that the device won't get scrathced along the edges: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Camouflage-Laptop-Sleeve-Case-Bag-Notebook-Pouch-Holder-For-HP-DELL-ACER?item=190646300676&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D114429639096895381#ht_6897wt_1200

Now I know what you're gonna say " But you idiot just said not to buy cheap chinese neoprene cases." I know, and I'm willing to take the risk, so I'll order it as soon as I get my hands on the infinity and I'll tell you what it's like if you're willing to wait.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
Sorry for being a party pooper in this thread...

but I finally saw that promo video as well... & I can only laugh at all the PR garbage that was thrown in to it.

1. 1st 1080 tablet??? Sorry, Acer 700 beat you on that part...

2. Metal design.. blah blah blah.... but let's ignore the reason for inclusion of RF window.

3. Camera is the selling point of this tablet??
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
All true, and I agree, but who cares when the price seems to be the same as prime's (at least in Switzerland for now).

It seems to me that ASUS finally took a leaf out of apple's book when it comes to marketing bull... Looks like it was made with american market in mind.

And take into account that probbably 80% of the customers have no idea about any of the things you noticed in the video.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
I agree the content of that video was quite disappointing. Then again it is simply a copy of the Prime with some fixes and a better screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvdwaal:
A Dutch review from Hardware.info

w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=IuVpD16u9P8

Here they say it's already out, but unfortunately not in stores or pre-orders in Holland. Some sites had links, but they are taken offline.

What we can say is that the price is around EUR 720,- for 64GB with dock, so it will be around 600 for 32GB version and would be same pricing like the Prime.

The prime looks really EOL in Holland. Few stores confirmed not ordering anymore and they say it has been replaced by TF300 and later by Infinity.

The review stated that prime indeed had Wifi and GPS issues, but not anymore on the Infinity, just like the owner in this thread mentioned.

Also the HD screen really is a big plus, but they noticed less gaming performance due to same chip/higher res.

Still... cant't wait to swap my prime :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
That includes the dock, right? Also will this version release immediately (32GB + dock)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Apparently. I found the cheapest infinity so far in Switzerland around 640 euro for the 64gb version with dock last night but when I checked this morning I couldn't find it anymore -apparently sold out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvdwaal:
Yes that should also be with dock, so prime will be EOL-ed or made cheaper. But then how about the TF300? I personally think EOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Hmm, Sony just released the Vaio E SVE1111M1E ultraportable in The Netherlands...

I am seriousely considering this instead of the Infinity. I know it may not be a tablet, but it comes very close and it allows for much higher productivity.

11.6inch screen, AMD E2-1800-apu dualcore 1.7Ghz, AMD Radeon™ HD 7340, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB DDR, USB 3.0, 6 hours of battery life, 500 euros.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lqbweb:
sorry but, What does it has to do with a tablet?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

sorry for my lack of culture... but what is EOL? a carrier?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
It'd have a similar purpose as a tablet with a keyboard dock: mobility.

EOL: end of life
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvdwaal:
End Of Life :-)

No more soled/ordered/available

Have you taken a look at the Cube U30GT, I think it looks OK for a cheap Chinese tab, I was looking into getting it to start the summer and pass it along to my grandma when I get something better.

We are waiting for Monday 25th :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
What will happen on 25th? :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] wynand32:
I think this mixes things up a little... If you're looking at a tablet+keyboard hybrid as a replacement for a Windows or OS X notebook, then you're bound to be disappointed at this point. Neither Android nor the iPad, in my experience, can replace a notebook--Office editing apps are too limited, things like managing a WordPress blog is difficult, and in general mobile platforms aren't quite there yet in terms of overall productivity. Maybe that will change with Windows 8/RT.

At the same time, a notebook can't replace a tablet+keyboard hybrid, because it's not, well, a tablet. What tablets are good for--consuming content and light productivity in a wide range of situations--and their inherent strengths--simple and straightforward UI, very long battery life, instant on, etc.--can't be duplicated by a notebook.

I'm not saying a notebook won't work for you instead. Maybe it will, and perfectly. But if so, then you're not really a candidate for a tablet at all and would likely be disappointed with any tablet you buy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
Well, we're not sure anything will happen on 25th. As far as we know an australian "bloke" called Ritchie from a youtube channel "Ritchie's room" got an Infinity to test and filmed it, and was told by ASUS to remove the videos until the 25th, so my speculations are that 25'th is the australian release date, it COULD be something else, but I doubt it.

Now I've just happend to stumble upon an information on one of the swiss online retailer's sites (yes, it's already on sale in Switzerland) that they'll restock on 08.07. when all the variants will be available (for now only the 64gb wifi only is available in Switzerland).

I think I've covered all the basics of Infinity's availability, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S. I'm pretty sure that there'll be mention of the Infinity in Google I/O, besides the ASUS/Google Nexus tablet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
I'll wait a few more days then to buy it :D

I have cursed every reviewer who said prime was the best thing since ice-cream. Ritchie's on top of that list. lol.

Apart for fun, I will not trust any claims he makes on infinity.

Guys, of the two colours that are available (Gold and Grey) which would you go for?

5GHz WiFi

Any word on if this tablet will support 802.11 on the 5GHz band?
[Asus Transformer TF700] masaokun:
local Best Buy says street date is 6-26-2012

I called my local Best Buy in Austin, TX, USA, and they said the street date was 6-26-2012. They said they didn't have any in the store so it may be online only or hidden from the inventory system, as no stores in the system showed any in stock. They also said the SKU was 5568409 and the price was $599. I think that included the dock, but I don't know how much storage it had; I should have paid more attention to the full model number. :(

Looks like we're close. With the lack of official info, I expected an announcement on Monday and a release in July, but this *MAY* be even better, if it's correct:good::D!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
No 5GHZ band sorry.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rcatron:
As a Prime owner I don't think that I could be mindlessly bashing. I probably will not purchase the Surface, but you can in no way compare Asus and Microsoft. I am not a MS lover by any means, but I can tell you this- Microsoft handled the RROD issue with service (I speak from experience).

I don't have to tell you how Asus has handled the Prime fiasco. Why anyone would think the Infinity would be any different, stumps me. Asus must Institute some sort of US based support (that can correspond in a manner in which US customers can understand) to start making this all alright and stop the bleeding.

I thought the post from the TF-300 owner that said he had lag and browser crashes (and returned it in hopes the Infinity is better) pretty much summed it up. Strike one: Prime, fall ball: 300

Here is hoping the Infinity is a base hit.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] banone:
According to Asus sweden it will not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
For me it needs to be a MASSIVE hit mate!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
please confirm, the usb slot is only on the dock, and not the tablet? if this is the case, i may have to reconsider.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
From all the pictures i have seen, there is only 1 usb port and its on the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
That cant be right. The dock is optional.
[Asus Transformer TF700] carolek:
Looking for gray but if champagne comes out first I may not be able to resist.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
The tablet itself doesn't have a USB port just like the iPad, but you can buy a proprietary connector with a USB port, and you don't need the keyboard for that...

Goes without saying that the keyboard has a USB port.
[Asus Transformer TF700] martyg7:
Gee, that's a real bummer.

My GFs iPad2 supports this, and I was hoping this high end Android device would too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cavkic:
I'm suprised it doesn't, my SGSII supports it... I never and I mean NEVER used it tho' :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rcatron:
The only Android tablet that I have that has the 5ghz band is my Xoom Wifi. Like others, I rarely use it outside my home because it just isn't available hardly anywhere.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tw1n2nak3s:
doesn't it have a micro usb port next to the micro hdmi port on the right side of the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
i think it will come at the end of this June in the US http://www.androidauthority.com/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700-presentation-video-launch-97018/

I recall someone mentioning the Zagg Screen protectors for the TF700 were already listed on Best Buys website.

Yesterday, in a Brooklyn NY Best Buy, I actually saw the Zagg for TF700 already on display in the Tablet section for purchase!

Wish other manufacturers would be so timely. You still can't find a single case for the TF300 in Best Buy, and how long has that been out?
