ASUS Transformer Prime

[Fifa03fan]

3G version of Transformer Prime may be coming this quarter, according to Slashgear. Also, more tablets to be announced next week at CES.

I might be heading over to Taipei at the end of this month (first time to Taiwan).

Wondering:
1. Will TP be cheaper in Taiwan?
2. Is the Taiwan's TP be different from our Asian model?
3. Where is a good place to hunt for such I.T. products in Taipei?

Thanks

there could be some price difference and freebies.
It would be in chinese..not to sure about warranty

someone in the WTS is selling it with the origami-inspired cover + TF prime...

 

[weibchen]

taiwan best if you can go there and buy.. can bargain and ask for more freebies
plus if you walk down the street all the shops selling the same thing lol

Home grown brands are alot cheaper with competition.

ASUS Transformer Prime teardown details GPS issue

Beware! ASUS Transformer Prime teardown details GPS issue....

ASUS has received their fair share of complaints over the past few weeks. From a lack of product availability, GPS issues, and then the bootloader situation. Today our friends over at Anandtech have torn down the Transformer Prime quad-core tablet and revealed their finding on those GPS issues — but didn’t comment much on the bootloader.

When we saw GPS fix on the changelog for the recent software update we weren’t sure what to think although some reports have said it helped. According to Anandtech the GPS issues are due to a design flaw and can only be tweaked — not fixed by updates. Unlike the original Transformer whose rear was covered in plastic, the Prime has an all aluminum design (and a pretty one) but that is the cause of the GPS issues — even if they are minor.
Other aluminum tablets like the T-Mobile Springboard, HTC Flyer or even the iPad all have plastic “windows” if you will, to let out and enhance the wireless signals. And that goes for more than just Bluetooth. Original reports on weak WiFi can also be attributed to the design although our review unit had an excellent wireless connection. It is worth noting that many WiFi only tablets like the iPad don’t have GPS at all — just a thought for those angry with ASUS or the Prime. So there you have it

Insider Rumor: SG had 400 x TFP wifi, how many they had clear in the promotion?

Not really. The most sell at $759 with free casing. Public still can get it at this promotional price from 12th Jan. This price also provided that he is not intending to buy dock. If will to buy dock, it will only cost $899.

Heng never go for the early pre-order. Asus just annouced a new and improved Prime. Basically covering up for the screw ups in the original Prime.

Good news, ICS for Prime will be out today!

Tod Asus cfm dat the Prime are pre-installed wif ICS??

 

[Evilmerlin]

No. Honeycomb and upgrade to ICS.

 

[surefire888]

Quite surprising that Asus has already announced an improved Transformer Prime. I think there's a high risk that the current model may be quietly phased out in favour of the new model which had gps and wifi issues due to its metallic back-plate

Not a convincing article at all. It's obvious tt the writer has never even held or seen the new model. It's easy to say tt the display of the old model is good enough when u hv not actually compared it side by side with the new model. Who would want to go back to an iPhone3GS display after having seen the retina display of the iPhone4?

As for Asus' statement tt this model will not replace their existing model, well, what did expect them to say? The existing model has just been released n nobody would buy them if they knew it would be discontinued soon
