Hasbro sues Asus over Transformer Prime name

Hasbro sues Asus over Transformer Prime name




and

I have seen alot of bad user reviews from other forums on the prime, most common issue is honeycomb problems and hopefully ICS will fix it, things like brower laggy and chopping, and keyboard isnt sensing strokes. But has anyone here have the prime and want to chime in with a user review. I am lookin to get one soon so i was wondering if anyone here has any hands on experiences.

Looks like some Futureshop/NCIX pre-orders have been received. Anyone get theirs yet? I'm still debating between this and the Galaxy Tab 10.1...

I would definitely get this over the Galaxy Tab. It can double as a productivity device, or laptop in some cases, and the specifications are a lot better when factoring in pricing.

Do note that there is potentially gps issues as well the bootloader is locked so you can't use custom roms. I'm still waiting to have my preorder shipped.

Just an update

Bootloader unlock tool and ICS is to be released next week

Yup. Too bad I still haven't received mine as well they aren't doing anything to fix the gps. Gonna call them to complain today.

Dude the charger crapped out on me alrdy lol... Common issue in tf101 and TF201 they use the same charger..
The usb cord works fine when plugged into the cpu but when its plugged onto the charger it doesn't charge!

So called bestbuy. They say it was already shipped but they haven't received any tracking info from Canada post. Says it should arrive tomorrow or Monday. Kinda on the fence though about the gps. You'd think they tested this shit before mass producing it.

^^yea they now removed the standalone gps spec from the product info page.
they say the metal casing is too much interference and its just going to be markted as an assisted gps module.
you can just cancel/return it if you are not fine with it :S meh

received my shipping notice from bestbuy today. lets hope everything goes better than expected

Same here. Should be here in a few days since the warehouse is here.

Today’s story from ASUS makes us sad to be early adopters. ASUS chose to go with an aluminum backing on the Transformer Prime, which has translated into poorer WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS performance in the quad-core tablet. GPS performance was so bad that ASUS removed it from their spec sheet entirely on their product page.

ASUS sent us a note this morning indicating they’ve come up with a fix for these issues, and it’s not a good one if you already own a Transformer Prime. Rather than figuring out a way to fix the current model of Transformer Prime, ASUS is introducing a new model, the TF700T, which ASUS believes will enhance WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS performance.

In addition to a new back panel, the TF700T adds the following upgrades to the tablet:

Panel/Display: The new display will provide a screen resolution of 1920×1200
Front Facing Camera: The 1.2 megapixel FFC was replaced with a 2.0 megapixel camera that allows HD video capture
Otherwise, the Transformer Prime TF700T is the same Transformer Prime we’ve come to know and love and maintains the form factor of the tablet. The TF700T will fit in the standard Transformer Prime docking station.

If you’re still within your return window on the Transformer Prime tablet, you may want to consider sending it back and waiting for the upgraded version, which should be launching in the next few weeks. Seems a bit silly that, after several months of delays, the Transformer Prime still launched with a flawed panel.

Hopefully ASUS will do the right thing here and provide the back panel free of charge to those who already purchased the Transformer Prime. ASUS has had a strong track record for providing timely updates to the original Transformer, quickly becoming a community favorite in the tablet world. How they handle this situation will determine how well their products are adopted in the near future.

It will ship with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, though there is no specific release date just yet. It will retail for $599, well above the $499 price of the 32GB TF201. We don’t know what sizes the tablet will come in, but we’d imagine the $599 will fetch you the 32GB version.

Probably be around 2nd quarter for the new one so it'll be a few months.

Don't really like the metallic back panel looking ~~~~ too shiny!!

Shiny? It looks matte.

that new backing doesn't look that great

i wish they would have at least laser etched some sort of design to mimic the original backing

both bestbuy and tiger direct sent me shipping notifications today,

thats means I have 2 coming. Bad luck for me,

anyone wanna buy one?

^32 or 64? Anyone get a shipping notice for 64GB Primes yet?...
