Got some information,The DOCKING Station's production maybe stop few days later. If it is true,What would you choose instead? A DOCKING HUB or a HDMI cable?
Interesting question- go with the cable. Mounts are cheap< so flexibility/ versatility could actually be enhanced.
Might not not be as sexy though

I don't know. I don't see that as being to terribly smart since I'm sure it cost them about $10 to make.
I will tell you that I have received confirmation that the attempt to make an HDMI cable was successful and I have seen a video that shows it. I have a prototype cable on the way to write a review

Yeah, I agree with ya there. I have one thankfully, so I'm set just in case
I am looking forward to that HDMI cable review, do you have an idea how much they'll run? One other question while I have your ear, do you know when you'll have some more of those JunLi Screen Protectors in stock? Thanks!

Currently the best explanation is that Ipad2 start selling in China. It impacts the Malata Zpad series of sales programs. You know, Ipad2 lowest price in China is 3688RMB, and Zpad T8 price is 3400RMB. In China, many people have a psychological: that blind conformity. So when you see hundreds of people queuing round the clock to buy Ipad2, yes, you are maybe in China.

I'm looking for a Tegra-2 based 10-inch tablet running Android 2.2 and one that has XDA support. I looked at the Viewsonic G Tablet and the Malata Z-Pad. the Toshiba seems to be the mainstream equivalent so I'm wondering if I should spend the extra money and get a "name-brand" tablet like the Folio.
I'm just curious as to what sold you on the Folio versus what else is available on the market?
TIA,
Chris R.
Its tegra 2 is cheap and with the latest mod is fast as hell

FolioMod sold it to me. Tegra 2 as a good second bet. Too bad the viewing angles are absolutely horrid on this. Otherwise a very potent package.

I noticed that when you turn the folio upside down, the viewing angles are a lot better (especially when watching movies in your bed)
I just adjust my stand according to the angle i'm viewing it from. I use a GorillaPod stand as a temporary solution, very easy to customize.

The LCD is not so bad, it's bright and vivid enough. Of course the view angle is aweful, but you will get use to it! After all is tablet and is supposed to seat close to you in your hands- If you forget some small issues is quite a good deal. Sad thing is that Toshiba support is a joke!

OT: Yes, it's almost starts me thinking if Toshiba just failed (again) with the assembling of this device.
I constantly uses it "upside down" now since the viewing angle is better.
The price, hw spec (tegra2) and foliomod was what got me to buy it. If I didn't know about dexters (and others) work on this piece I would probably never bought it, especially after all the bad press it was getting after getting pulled from the stores.
But I just can't stop liking it.

LOL, same here.
I knew the Folio wasn't perfect when I bought it, but I also knew it had potential.
I'm quit happy but I feel for those who bought the device and never heard of XDA, stuck on a market that fits on there device entirely.

Asus has a whole host of accessories on tap for the hot Transformer tablet/netbook. The keyboard dock was just the beginning. There’s a desktop dock, HDMI-VGA adapter, a very iPad-ish looking folio case, and an adapter to plug in a USB flash drive. Asus has yet to make these official so no word on pricing or availability. They appeared on Asus’ Italian Facebook page about four hours ago. The only thing missing now are the actual Transformers. They’re sold out everywhere and backordered out to nearly irrelevance. Well, there’s always the Xoom. There are plenty of those available along with their entire range of accessories.

the only thing missing now is the tablet itself
Well the keyboard is missing too...
I was lucky enough to get a tablet, but still have no idea when the thing will actually be a "Transformer".
Interesting to see what's in store for us. Thanks for linking.
Hopefully these take off more than the viewsonic g-tablet official accessories that never came to fruition.
really nice to see these accessories for those who don't buy the keyboard. especially the dock and case. Actually bought the sleeve case myself considering god knows when i'll get the keyboard.
I like the USB adapter!!
I kind of wish they would sell extra data/charging cables
Here is also a better article with more info a pictures (Italian)

You can pre-order it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/koYdNl
I would like another power cord. This this appears to be proprietary and if it gets lost, there's no charging the damn thing. I don't care if it's only 2 foot long, I'd like another cable.
Looks like Asus is gonna make a bundle off me. Hope there will be accessories from 3rd party soon.
Hmm!
One of each I think! Except maybe not the SD card reader.
But given that the price of the simplest one is quite high I guess theyre going to be a bit pricey!

I agree, this has been way over-looked, If I damage or loose my existing cable I'm stuffed, don't want to be in that situation.
Hopefully some 3rd party will start pumping them out on eBay or the likes soon.

So when you dock the tablet, you don't need to fiddle wit find the mini hdmi cable just to get a full desktop replacement.
I'm actually very excited to get the SD adapter (wish this was on the tablet instead of the miniSD). I'd like to do some quick photo editing right after shooting.
i wonder if the USB port will work with game controllers and other USB stuff like 3.1 will allow.
Im interested in the USB dongle.
Would this mean that we can have external storage like a HD preloaded with media?
If so, it would be perfect for road trips to load movies on a drive and have the munchkins entertained..
On that note: anything out there that allows the tablet to hang/attach to the headrest on a car seat?

Guys,
Yesterday I saw one of my co-workers with a Silicone case for his iPad2 and really called my attention. When I asked him, he told me he got it from Monoprice.com. It's made by them.
If you are familiar with the site, you will know they make top notch products at very low price.
I have always been a customer from that site so today I E-mailed them to see if they can make the Silicone cases for the Prime.
I would suggest to also help me out E-mailing them and asking for the Silicone case. You never know, they could make one for us if they see high demand
Here is the link you can use:
http://www.monoprice.com/home/home.asp?pn=contact
Done. I hope they hook it up!
Please, make a tpu case for the Asus transformer prime tf201. Tons of people are interested and would purchase immediately. If you make it quickly your company would be the first to offer it for the Asus prime and therefore would reep the benefits.
I would also post links on xda developers .com as well
Thanks

How about asking them to make a usb cable with the Asus connector on it while you are asking for stuff?
Well... I got a reply from them
Just found out Caseen just got these in, and they are hard to come by. I guess grab one or two if you want. I already bought two, but I may get another just to keep in my laptop bag.

Dear opentoe,
Thanks for your support again! And I can vouch that opentoe is NOT a rep, but just a very satisfied customer and fan. =)!
Anyway yes we just got those New Style ASUS Transformer Prime Chargers in stock, unfortunately the USB Kits are still out of stock.
Hopefully we should have them by Mid-February so check back soon.
TBH, ASUS is taking a long time to get them out... I think they are trying to sell docks, not USB adapters!!

I would prefer something like this with a mini or micro usb connector. I have too many of these cables and chargers. A shame they are become obsolete because if these proprietary adapters.

Keep in mind that this adapter is extremely low quality. To get it to work I recommend removing the part of plastic where the contacts are (because that part is too short) and also I read a report that it's even worse on Prime because the edge of the tablet is different than on the original Transformer (I have the original only).

This is true actually, we had a lot of returns on this product that we ended up test fitting the good "ones" and returning the rest. Then we found out that certain product cycles had better build quality.
I am almost 100% sure they are improving on this, as the the chargers kits are bit better quality. Looks like the manufacturer for ASUS is doing more quality control.

I have no problems with it. It stay secure enough for me to do what I need it to do. It's not an exact fit but still secure enough for the job. It works just fine. I'm able to connect my ext hd with no issues and watch movies from my ext had with no lag.
Hello.
I was thinking of buying a tablet, but since I bought the xperia s phone, I am thinking if it is possible to use the hdmi out of the phone to a larger, portable monitor and use it as a tablet.
Do you know where i could get a lightweight monitor with capabilities of hdmi in so I can hack it into a diy "tablet".
I am considering to use the display only for output i.e no touch screen, although that would be good.
So basically you're looking for a battery powered TV with HDMI input ? something like this
Well yes,but in not that price range
I am thinking of composing one with various components from tablets, but I don't know how a tablet or laptop monitor can be connected to an hdmi adaptor and work without the use of a motherboard or a graphics card.
I don't see the point of a larger display just to connect to your phone considering that it is possible to get a 9.7" IPS screen dual core android tablet for under US$250.. Check pandawill. Look for the Amlogic -MX chipset or the rockchip RK30XX series.
Heck, they even offer ICS to boot.
I dont think you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for, I but I have an idea for you to consider. The Morotola Atrix has a LapDock accessory. This is basically an 11" screen, a usb keyboard / mouse and a huge battery all rolled into one. Someone on the forum has taken the rear apart and it is basically just a micro USB and micro HDMI cable. He plugged his Xperia in and it just worked. Phone will not charge off the battery while the HDMI is enabled, but everything else is fine.
Now, these devices retail for about £300, but recently 2 retailers in the UK have been selling them for £42 and £48, probably because the Atrix is outdated now.
I very nearly took the plunge myself, but I already have a 14" laptop and an iPad

Something to consider.
BigPhil this is exactly what I was looking for.
Since I don't want to spent much money in buying a Windows tablet now, considering the windows 8 tablet release this year, the Morotola Atrix LapDock would do the job.
Do you have any links for the £42 and £48 UK shops?
Sure, but it looks like both offers have ended.

Worth checking that site periodically
Edit: I have just checked eBay and there are loads £40-£75 on there. Good a place as any to start, perhaps pick up a case at the same time.
Umm... this one ?
http://www.medltech.com/product.html
How well could you fit an S into the Lapdock? Any S users have one?(Pics pls).
At that price its well worth it.
