ASUS Transformer Prime

[guile]

I updated mine OTA this morning.

 

[kyleongwl]

There is a new firmware update out today. Supposedly will improve battery life over the previous update.

not only battery life, the clock speed is suppose to improve.... Along with WIFI...was too eager to update
never check the status before to have a good comparison.

Anyone noticed the date/time is not updated correctly? Was 12am+ but it shows 7 pm+

HK or SG ?

Sure, will let you know. I will stop in SG next Friday (24th), hope in one week they can have stock. Else i will also go through HK, online HK websites said they have stock !

Hello
no stock at all in France also... I'll go to HK & SG at the beginning of March. Where would you advise me to buy one ?
By the way, any chance to find other keyboard-dock than QWERTY (I know, I'm asking for the moon, but who knows...)?

Thanks in advance for your advice

I GOT IT !
I bought my Prime yesterday in Shanghai in a Taiwanese ASUS shop (in XuJiaHui, not the famous IT malls but other well furnished shops near by). But no 64 GB, only 32 GB. Usually i will always have the dock nearby so i will purchase a big SD to enlarge storage.

For HK a friend of mine told me it's available on several websites...

so how much damaged? How about the warranty?

I wonder if there will any discounts at all this IT show. Cos the new Prime (higher) end model is not yet out. I guess only freebies like screen protector plus case. Not sure that it will be any cheaper than what you can get now. But I'm sure it will sell out nonetheless. There's a lot of pent up desire for a high end Android tablet.

don't appears to be any higher.
It is available as a 16G unit...(shd be 599 or 699)
the main "improvement" is the plastic back ..for GPS & WIFI

With that, it lost out the coolness like in Prime

 

[GeSteSoh]

Did the OTA upgrade with the Wifi/BT dropout issue still present!! Any solutions?

perfectly new, i open it with vendor
I live in Shanghai so warranty is better for me here.

But if it is a lot cheaper, I don't mind... not to mention it will likely be lighter too!

My concern with the high res screen is if the apps will scale nicely and display nicely.

if iirc, the latest OTA only served to resolve the issue of random reboot in ICS. Have to wait for them regarding wifi/BT. You can track this thread for updates.

Precisely, if the apps are not updated, then the user experience will be quite poor... I was trying out Fruit Ninja on a 1024 x 768 China tablet and the game was pretty pixilated... not nice at all...

well, Prime do not have such issue
Beside WIFI & GPS, others issue are ICS related

the screen is superbly clear 7 good.
