I got mine the same day that you got yours (@Staples w/ coupons, 16GB @ 385+tax) only difference is I didn't get the protection plan.. I think I might try returning mine tomorrow as well and either wait it out for the TF2 or settle with a 32 GB upgrade!

I have a feeling that the 32GB will hit that price again pretty soon (hopefully).

I got the protection plan at bestbuy since it's an on going thing for 3 years. Literally anything that can happen other than physical is covered. And if anything does happen, you'll be able to get a brand new one or if there isn't anymore transformers (ie: Transformer 2 is out) You'll be getting the transformer 2.

So if by chance the transformer gets bricked or something a few weeks after the transformer 2 is released. The replacement will be a transformer 2 :)

price protection? damn i think i missed on that..

if anyone looking for an inexpensive case for the tablet. i found an ebay seller that has a little shop in richmond. got my leather case whatever you want to call it. for $20.

place is called MX Mart, that sells hdmi cables, sattelite dish stuff. its on shell road and alderbridge in richmond.

just got an email back from Asus Canada

the transformer 2 is set to release in October for Thailand

as of right now there is no ETA for release in USA or Canada for this year

:(

Anyone use a stylus for the Transformer? How well does it work?

Most of them don't work very well. The tablet is optimized for fingers and not stylus.

Are there any that are at least decent? I want to start taking notes on the tablet so I can stop printing out paper lol.

^you know you can just type it into your tablet right?
Posted via RS Mobile

yes?

Kind of hard to type math notes on pdfs

^ oh, maybe there is an app for it?
Posted via RS Mobile

I'm using ezPDF reader and it'd be easier to write on it with a stylus than just my finger.

for anyone interested

From Memory express:

On Sale!!! with $70.00 Off
Asus EeePad Transformer, 32GB
SKU: MX32979 Part#: TF101-B1
4/5 4 Review(s)
$399

^only 500 for the 32gb with dock

are they getting ready for the transformer 2 maybe?

^ thats a possibility. They actually had this sale back in late August as well though so they might be just trying to clear up some excess inventory

That's a really good price for the Transformer. PM with BB or Futureshop to get the extra $7 off

I don't see this on their site, link?

will futureshop/bestbuy actually pricematch memory express?


how is this thing compared to the playbook or galaxy tab 10.1

they should.

they price match any company with a physical store. as long as it's not a print out from like newegg, it's fine.

Better than both in my opinion, I've owned the transform and the tab (resold both after realizing I had no use for it)
I've never owned the playbook... But is that really even a question lol
Posted via RS Mobile

playbook beats the tab 7 and comes close to beating the tab 10.1

specs for the transform look preety solid i might have to get down on this sale lol


is it possible to tether internet from my blackberry to this?

since i see it has bluetooth is a there a program i could use for it to work? will pdanet work?

I think most retailers do not PM door crasher pricing if you look closely in their TOS or policy.

they won't if there's a limit on it. When the sale was on in Aug ME had a limit of 2 per person and FS/BB wouldn't honor it.

looks like 499 with dock isnt the best deal as ncix and memory express had it for 479-490 before with dock included as well

guess ill wait for a better deal :P

has anyone tried tethering a blackberry and the transformer yet?
