People have to remember although it might not possibly be available in the states, you could always make an overseas order. There might be a fee. But its possible to buy international version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
i dont know how easy this is to answer, but here goes anyway:

I have the motorola atrix wirless keyboard/remote/mouse kit free with my phone and would like to know if theyre usable with the Infinity? i know the Infinity has a keyboard dock, but the moto kit is much smaller, and i really dislike trackpads. i dont know if moto lock the kits to their own phones/tablets, if thats even possible.

can anyone shed some light? thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
no, Asus would never allow it
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
That is referring to video media only and not pixels with computations going on (apps, games). Takes a lot more power and resources. The reason the iPad got thicker was due to the gpu to support the high res and a battery to support the gpu and display.

Current Tegra 3 seems very unlikely.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcompagner:
Video output its more demanding then just a desktop, ok they currently have build in special hardware for that, so that makes it easier to render at high resolutions. Look at Intels atoms they handle a desktop fine but full HD stuff its not always that easy for them

Games is of course a completely other thing.

on another note, i would be really disappointed if Asus does wait that long to release it (q4). Then i will look also to other solutions and they won't get my money and i guess that goes for a lot of others that all canceled the prime orders and are waiting for the infinity

>Games is of course a completely other thing.

There won't be any native 1080p games in the Infinity's life span. Why worry about something that won't exist?

[Asus Transformer TF700] hlenforcer:
nice, regarding to the fb page, the infinity pad will be there :) but ofc asus will not delay it till the end of the year, only because it would look good with windows 8 There are lots of ppl waiting for it that skipped the prime, asus sure doesn´t want to miss these sales + it would be a very dumb action to show and announce onfinity pad in january, telling it will be available somehow q2/2012, then make a proper presentation end of february saying it will definitely be there in q2/2012 to cancel it then ... Sure there will be also a tegra 4 win8 tablet end of the year or at the beginning of 2013, but it won´t be the infinity pad...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Norcalz71:
I'm sure they want this thing out to capture sales they may lose to Win8.

Lets hope its not another rushed product though.

a) most likely they've not sold a single one and no one knows when they'll have it

b) further compounded by the fact they claim it to be a Krait version

Prime Keyboard with Infinity Tablet ???

Asus' website says the Prime keyboard will

NOT

work with the Infinity. But many reviewers say it will. Has anyone tested this???

If you have access to a Prime keyboard and an Infinity tablet, please test compatibility and report back to us. (Also let us know what version firmware you have on the keyboard.) Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gewebekomplex:
Where did u buy it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i might be wrong, but i think a few pages back, someone confirmed that it will work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] brucewilsonpa:
Yes -- because this is such a long, long thread it's hard to follow but a search should bring it up. HOWEVER, there is still a question whether the tf700 dock has a different firmware version as has been mentioned several times (and that came from a note on an ASUS website).... I have a brand new tf201 Prime dock ready to use but would love to have someone who has a tf201 Prime dock that didn't come with their TF700 confirm that it works OK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
I read several comments in the past few pages regarding that but not sure I saw any that indicated they actually tested the Prime keyboard with the Infinity tablet. Maybe I missed it somehow.

The same holds true with all the reviews I've seen elsewhere. I have not seen any that say they have actually tested them together, only reviews that say it should or will work, and some that say it will IF you have current firmware.

I do see that the the Prime keyboard has a 22 Wh battery and the Infinity keyboard has a 19.5 Wh battery. Otherwise they "appear" to be the same and I would assume they should compatible, except for Asus saying they are not compatible on their website...
[Asus Transformer TF700] brucewilsonpa:
That's the sticking point, but among the responses when this was first pointed out was a statement that the only difference was the TF700 dock has a different firmware, so as the msg a few back indicates, if you get a TF700T with a TF201 Dock the dock apparently has a different firmware, which kind of raises the question to those of us still holding onto our Prime docks -- how do we update the dock firmware???
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtavera:
hahahahaha thats why in gonna do... on monday i will go to best buy and buy the prime. xd
[Asus Transformer TF700] criodor:
I`m trying to get hold of my dad who has one the first primes + dock so I can test them together. Will post (hopefully) later on.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see what you find out... Please be sure to let us know what version firmware is on the Prime keyboard. (not sure where you look to find out the version)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Note that your dad probably has updated the dock's firmware version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pouic:
Like I said on the other thread (in the accesories section) I can confirm you the TF201 dock works perfectly with my infinity TF700T

The only drawback is the colors aren't quite the same (the grey of the dock is a little bit more dark and and the tablet is a little bit more purple)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fortigurn:
Has anyone confirmed this? According to the official ASUS Infinity specifications it's the other way around:

Today I emailed staff I know at ASUS to try and clarify this. The first reply I received from someone who knows members of the design team, is that the ASUS website is correct; the Infinity's keyboard is compatible with the Prime, but the Prime's keyboard is not compatible with the Infinity. The second reply I received, from a member of the design team, also said that the ASUS website is correct.

I'm still interested to see if the TechReport/Anandtech articles are correct; they could be, it wouldn't be the first time the ASUS website product specs were wrong. I corrected the Infinity's specification website text myself earlier this year when I discovered several errors (I was also responsible for editing the online marketing copy for the Prime and PadPhone). Alternatively, perhaps there was a later innovation by the engineering team which wasn't passed on to the design team.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Most likely ASUS means that it provides compatibility support for the Infinity keyboard with the Infinity and the Prime; not for the Prime keyboard with the Infinity.

However, at this moment, some (maybe all) prime docks are compatible with the infinity. Whether this changes in the future due to firmware updates (is that possible / likely?) is unknown.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pouic:
I copy/paste here my post from the other thread about my TF700T and the dock of the TF201

[Asus Transformer TF700] Sembazuru:
Just found a USA vendor with pre-order pages for the tablet and docking station (sorry about the spaces, I also have less than 10 posts):

excaliberpc.com /products /products.html?ch=Computers &search=TF700T

Seems they are just listing the campaign gold for now. They are offering bundles, but the pricing of the bundle is no different than ordering the tablet and docking station separately on the same order. (I'm not familiar with them so their S&H may differ between 1 SKU and 2 SKUs on an order tho...) I also don't see them announcing a ship date or lead time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
I was almost ready to order the bundle from Excalibur PC but then I saw their return policy and I backed off.

Screen protector / skin

First time poster.....

Long time owner of ASUS TF101B. Now my parents have it and I am waiting for the TF700. Just like most of you, can't wait.

I have experience with screen/body protectors (skins) which I use on my jailbroken/unlocked iPhone 3GS (and my wife's).

I also did not like the Zagg skin on the TF101.

I now heavily favor skins from bestskinsever_dot_com.

Does not reduce glare as much as the Zagg, but definitely smoother to the touch. And, less distortion of the screen appearance.

And, significant added benefit is that it works out to be a lot easier to put on. The Zagg just wants to stick to the device right away and is harder to align because of it. bestskinsever moves a little when it is still wet. (Cheaper too, but you dont get them right away like Zagg. In this case though the front skin for the TF201 should probably work, right?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
Okay, just add fuel to the fire I've been watching googles io events. It seems the nexus 7 will be getting jelly bean I'm shipping the mid july around the same time as the transformer release. So who wants to start this wild speculation that the transformer will come with jelly bean in the united states.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
It has a small screen, no HD, lesser battery, no IPS+, no keyboard dock, less space and no MicroSD slot.

The advantage is that it is almost three times as cheap! ASUS should really price the Infinity more competitively and offer 32GB variants..

By the way, why did ASUS make the Infinity purple instead of grey?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gam3r 4 Life:
Hey thanks for that link it helped a lot. After thinking it over I have decided to go with the white TF300 and dock. I really like the way the white and silver go together, and the TF300 has and does everything Im looking for in a tablet. Thanks again. :o
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
The nexus looks nice. If it were 10.1" or even 8.9" I'd buy it without hesitation, even if it still was only 1280x800. I've used 7" tablets before though and I know its not for me.

I dont think we'll get JB immediately, but we'll be among the first to get it if ASUS's updates in the past for other devices are any indication. 4.1 looks much nicer than I thought it would be, the offline dictation and improved smoothness (I thought ICS was already plenty smooth) are worth the price of admission alone.

Only concern I have is that it looks like it drops the combobar, further reducing screen space. Really hope that's only a 7" device thing or for devices intended to be used in portrait.

Although I should know better having owned a Tegra 2 device, I hope that the Nexus using a Tegra 3 means improved developer support on Asus's other Tegra 3 tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
I certainly prefer the transformer over the nexus and agree its likely we won't see jelly bean on it at launch. But it would certainly be nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
I just ordered the Nexus 7 16GB to try out while I wait for the Infinity 32GB+Dock to show up. Google is offering $25 in Google Play credit for buying the Nexus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
I think the announcement about the new PDK is interesting as it might help address the issue of length of time for new Android verisons to come out to phones. And Google said it will come out 2-3 months before release and that main partners already have it for Jellybean.

Given Asus have been building a Jellybean tablet for Google I rather suspect Asus will be one of those furnished with a PDK, so hopefully the TF700 will get a 4.1 upgrade relatively sharpish like.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Won't you have to wait for the Nexus as well though? I think the Infinity releases before that or just about at the same time.

PS. who was at Google I/O? Them lucky people got three devices, including the Nexus 7. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] gunner1937:
Waiting to order the Infinity, I just ordered this small screen, no HD, lesser battery, no IPS+, no keyboard dock, less space, and no MicroSD slot:rolleyes: which is called a Nexus 7;).

My only plus is that it will come with 16GB and Jelly Bean only:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
They say two weeks for the Nexus. I suspect it will be quite a bit longer for the Infinity S4 32GB. The 64GB T3 seems to be the only version avialable for the near future.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
If the Nexus 7 had a microsd slot i'd have bought one this evening. I just know that on a tablet 16gig isn't even nearly enough space. It owuld just be totally unusable for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
TOTALLY UNUSABLE? c'mon dude. What is it you want to do with a 7 in screen tablet that makes it TOTALLY UNUSABLE?

Its a 7 in screen. You dont put a 10G 1080p movie on it. 16G is plenty.

There is a VERY good reason Google made this tablet and it wasnt because its TOTALLY UNUSABLE. I bet you would do fine with it. Its not a substitute for the Infinity, its a cheap place holder.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
AMEN! If it had a microSD slot I would have ordered two of them today. My kids are always out of space on their iPods and having to remove things. So I'm sure the 8 or 16 GB these come with would not be enough storage.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Asus Memo 370T. If they come to market with that tablet and it is basically the Nexus 7 with microSD and possibly a few more enhancements, I am willing to pay more for it.

I'm buying the Infinity for me, but really need/want a couple 7" tablets for the wife and kids.

OT: ssh

Remember that you can use commandline ssh via Terminal Emulator (which is actually pretty cool) after rooting your Android device..
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Even if oyu are just watching 720p movies that is still 4-5 gig, and what about local synced music? And what about game files (increasingly close to a gig).

My point is that if you never go anywhere that does not have a super fast AYCE data connection / fast wifi you can maybe get away with not having loads of stuff stored on your device. But for most of us we will still need to rely on local files.

For a **MEDIA** device like a tablet 8-26 just isnt enough, no way I could take a Nexus 7 on holiday with me for a week, it would barely store enough stuff to get me to the Airport! ;-)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Probably they chose to keep the storage low to force people to buy their cloud solution (Google Drive).
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
In the real world though how useful is cloud storage on a media device for ordinary people. Unless oyu never go overseas, and only stay in place where you have HSPDA=/LTE connections on AYCE data plans then it just isn't going to do the do.

I mean if I go on holiday to Spain say it would cost me £100s to listen to music and that from the cloud.

Again that isn't a realistic solution yet for media devices in the real world.

But seriously Google really do seem to have an issue with MicroSD anyway, I don't think any of the Nexus devices have had one have they?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
Exactly my thought. I would have loved to get it but I cannot live with a tablet with no way to increase storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
converting the 720p movie to the device format will shrink that size incredibly. possibly less than a gb. I convert 720p movies for my xoom, and their original file size is 4-5gb, after conversion, they are about 1.2gb. The screen for the Nexus is smaller, so the size of the file should be smaller as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Sorry far from convinced, even if that is right and 1-2 you are still filling the device in next to no time, and that is assuming you dont have any local music, game files, comics, ebooks or large apps installed.

Like I said if oyu live in some mythical always on information super world with ever present AYCE super fast data maybe. But not in the real world, not by a long shot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
Yups, this will still be enough to spend the time while waiting for w8 tablets.

After that, it goes to me mom as a skype-phone\bookreader.

Pity it doesn't have a card slot, but really ok considering an mp3 music collection for the holidays would be around ~2-3 gigs, a quite fine BDrip is about 2-3 gigs, and GPS maps for a locale are about a gig. Don't watch many movies on vacation, too, and at home I can kill the old ones before uploading new ones. Nice stopover solution, and cheap.

PS as for "small battery", 8 hrs operation are promised, not so poor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i agree, i wouldnt consider this tablet for two reasons; the screen and no memory card. i have 96gb on my xoom, no way im trading that in for 16.

no to mention, my daughter has the samsung galaxy tab 2 7" and even that has a memory card slot. its only $50 dollar more than the nexus.

Buying from Taiwan?

I won't be in australia after 21st july and i was planning on getting this before that.Since that mid august is now the expected release date,I was wondering if i should go for this.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ASUS-Tra...=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item460516678d

It is expensive(not so expensive when you consider the same model when launched in australia comes at AUD $999),but price is not a concern for me..But i am bothered by the chinese & english characters on keyboard..Is it just me or does that look bad?Seriously considering buying this or the transformer prime instead.By the way,do the australian prime owners have wifi/gps issues??I heard incidence was much low...And is the Tf700 that big an upgrade over the tf201?Does the full hd screen make a huge difference to viewing quality?And most importantly since i am buying from taiwan,will english language be easily selectable on the tablet?And OTA updates?If someone has seen the chinese keyboard,please let me know!
