Thanks for the link!
Pretty sure that isn't a 'real' advert - with and without dock are the same price, and I don't think it's amazon actually selling it (but not reading German I can't be sure)

w/ dock model is 32GB and w/o dock one is 64GB..makes sense if they're the same price
but I agree Amazon pre-order doesn't mean anything...
Honeycomb ? Oh wait...

I highly recommend you get the ipad2. At least there you won't have the option at all since apple only update once in a blue moon.
Jesus christ, people whine about everything. Just get ipad 2 and get it over with. There, you won't ever have to think about update, since apple rolls out an update a year or something. Asus, on the other hand, rolls out a major update a month, and we still get people like you whining nonstop.
Same price in the Netherlands as on Amazon
So 32Gb has to be purchased in a bundle with the docking station. I hope not in the US.

A quick question.. why buy the TP if your not gonna buy the dock? :S Isn't that the whole point with the Transformer? The dock?
If you're not gonna buy the dock, why don't buy another tablet instead? Just wondering

I'd be okay with that if the bundle price is $599. Although I doubt there will be such a bundle, let alone as the only option.

I might choose not to use the Asus keyboard/dock. I already have other keyboard options that should work. If there was another Kal-el / quad processor tablet available, even the Archos G9, I'd consider that. If the Prime ships for $500 I'll try it and see if I really need the keyboard/dock (with USB...)
I hope that answers your question.

This is the case in UK (and probable rest of europe), 32 GB with dock or 64GB without dock. No other choices.
Should be there in Jan.

Because if I need to write something on the tablet I will use Swype. It is almost as fast as a keyboard for me (and I'm a fast typer).
For anything that needs a keyboard to write with I have my desktop computer.
I just have no need for a dock, that is not the way I want to use the Prime.
And really no other tablet competes with the Prime yet.
But sadly it seems they don't sell it separately with the 32GB version at least here in Germany.
I have just preordered my Asus Transformer Prime at Amazon.com. Pricing $492.00

OH BOY here we go again. Hopefully this release will not generate the volume of posts that the current TF generated with people having 5-6 orders pending and cancelling them as one shipped of vendors cancelling orders when they could not get product.
I am more interested to see if it is going to be rootable. Doesn't really matter to me as I wouldn't trade my TF101 for the world.
not sure if i'm willing to spend another $200 to upgrade my 16GB to the new 32GB version. this thing is perfect right now. also, i don't get why they won't make a 16GB model considering that majority loves the $399 price point.
Yeah, the only thing my tf101 doesn't do satisfactorily is play mkv's. I don't have the disposable income to get the new one just for that, when the alternate is running them through handbrake.
That and no root, which I require for VPN and SMB, I can wait.
They sure are sexy tho!

LOL, im going to just swap it out for my gTab and hope my wife doesnt realize it LOL
I guess the Xoom is a bust because of the lack of SD Card means no recovery partition or custom roms. Plus theres no Honeycomb source yet so no HC roms. Bummer! I guess my gTab will last until the transformer is opened up
Both the Xoom and the Transformer trump the gTab in pretty much every category except price and tinkerability (if that's even a word). So if they were all the same price, I'd go for the Transformer, mainly because of the screen type.
Here's my variation on the original question:
GTablet = $285
Transformer = $500
Xoom = $600

this should put things in perspective.
Yeah I'd like one of the newer honeycomb tablets but not for close to 2x the cost.
If the Transformer is locked down it loses a lot of it's luster too.
The gTab is a good device that gets better when you realize how flexible it is. I am willing to bet that if Google officially released the source for Honeycomb we'd be running it already, even if it's 1/2 the price of similar tablets. (this is probably one of the reasons why Google isn't releasing the source for Honeycomb)
Nah, not paying $500 for the Transformer. $400 is tempting if tax isn't involved.
What's funny is, a week ago I would've, and was going to, pay $600 for a wifi Xoom.

I have yet read a preview that went in that sort of detail, most of the previews have been pretty high level.. ie: it has a screen! that works with touches! and it's a tablet! etc etc
I hope it's not locked down because I've always been an Asus fan and the price looks reasonable
xoom
I would go with a xoom if they were the same price. partly for the screen, but also for honeycomb. In 6-12 months there will be a lot more apps for it and will be the norm. IMO.
I'd have to go with the transformer easy..
The screen, two usb ports, sd card, doesnt it even have a card reader?
That along with the keyboard attachment, which increases battery to up to 16 hours.
All that, and it shouldn't be locked down like the moto.
The Asus Transformer is $400, not $500. And the dock is only $150 adds another 9 hours or so of battery life.

Noone knows pricing for sure. All we know is that there will be a 16gb Transformer and 32gb one. They should be $100 difference in price. The 16gb transformer would be the price point to compare to the gtablet.

ASUS has no intent of releasing accessories that reduce dock sales. This is a fraud and untrue just like everyone else selling vapor on the internet.
If you buy these you are VERY naive, because no one in the WORLD has ever demoed one of these items. Selling these items is a 1st class fraud.

No, I am not bitter whatsoever. I refuse to accept the lies.
ASUS is completely unprofessional in their TF101 accessory manufacturing and consumer marketing, except AC adapters & cables. I prefer not to give a list of examples why and waste my time.
Accessories to not fall off the assembly line. There are manufacturing dates, based on a business process, and either availability dates or delays and problems. However, ASUS is acting unprofessional because they provide no availability dates nor mention of delays on the items mentioned by the OP.
It is easy to understand delays and problems since we are dealing with a new OS, e.g. Android v3.x and new host functionality. But, ASUS has no excuse whatsoever to say nothing. Especially since other tablet manufacturers are currently shipping equivalent components on the same Android OS levels.
The fact official ASUS resellers are selling these components without any factual ETA dates is fraud, plain and simple. You do not have to be bitter nor upset to recognize this fact. ASUS makes the choice to be unprofessional, or not.
Again, good luck with your pre-order.

Sorry I do not mean to offend. I agree the tablet works great. My complaint is for selling vapor without dates from ASUS, no matter if it is amazon.de.
I also agree there is no rush (especially with pre-order sales) because I expect, if the USB host and SD accessories are released with the *next* version of the tablet (Tegra 3), they will still work with our version tablets.
The first series of EEE PC had some internal redesigns that significantly effected compatibility of *internal* mini-PCIe components. The *external* TF101 components are a different case. I would be shocked if ASUS modified the design of their 40 pin proprietary cables.
In case no one noticed on amazon.de, the SD accessory has a picture showing it includes a USB host port, same price as USB host accessory.
Still don't understand, why waste money on this when u get a extended battery, keyboard, usb ports all rolled into one...?

Do you have some problem with people wanting other accessories? You like your dock. We get it. I want to watch movies when I'm wrenching in the garage, and the Display Stand takes up less space, and I don't want another $150 worth of fragile equipment sitting near all my power tools. You seem to think I should have to use the keyboard dock, whether I want to use the keyboard and touchpad, or not.

i had the gtablet, but sold it. Now with the Android market not showing the G tab on the website, I am sure glad that I sold the G tablet. Get the tablet that has paid the license to Google and has the real market (imho), in otherwords not the Gtablet.

I had been using an older version of the Market App, and with that I could not get new apps. I could update older apps just fine, but it would NOT download a new app: NO DEVICE. With the new Market App, I have no problems.

I sold mine a while back also. I would put that $250.00 towards something that might have a chance at some ICS love.
The Gtab's screen is great for video, but an IPS screen on a higher end tablet is a must for extended ebook reading. Also the market issue is very minor in my opinion.
I picked mine up less than a week ago, put FB 10.0 on it and I am already selling it and moving to a Transformer or Iconia. The display has really bad viewing angles, other than that it isn't too shabby.

I saw that today as well. (well my wife did). Still only $100 off a 16GB version, I told her not that great of a deal.
To the OP, my advise is not spend one dime with Viewsonic. They abandoned this product 3 months after it's release. Viewsonic has been nothing short of horrible regarding the GTab and it's customers that spent the $300-$400 last winter. I have a perfect one for $200 if you really want one, $225 with dock. It is rooted and running TNT lite 4.4.

I all you want is a decent 10" tablet running Gingerbread or Honeycomb at a low cost then gtab is one to consider. If you want ICS then you will have to get the lastest tablet (not yet available) with a killer cpu and lots of ram.
So your choices are
1. Low price 10" or 7" (nook color II or Amazon Fire)
2. Medium price 10" like a Acer Iconia, Toshiba or Asus Transformer
3. High price 10" currently being developed for the ICS (New tranformer quadcore etc)
Good luck and have fun.
Woot.com has the Motorola Xoom 32Gig Wifi for $329 today....
And Motorola has stated that the Xoom will get ICS early 2012.
Advantages over Gtablet..
32gig vs. 16gig storage
1280x800 vs. 1024x600 resolution
1 gig vs. 512 meg ram
GPS, Barometer, front and rear cameras
Better viewing angles
Official Google support/Motorola support
Android OS 3.2.1 with stated upgrade to Android OS 4.0
FYI...I have two Gtablets and an Xoom. I'd take the Xoom every day over the Gtablet.

I bought a Gtab from a seller in the US. shipping was about $23 BUT beware as the buyer in Canada will get hit with an extra $70 in duty fees for "importing" the tablet.
So I saw over on bgr today that htc's gonna have a quad core tablet coming out in february. I'm already very enthused about the transformer prime from asus coming out next month, and wanted a few opinions. I'm debating on whether or not I'll enjoy scribe or the dock more (the promise of 18 hours of battery life is very tempting). Could I get a few transformer and flyer/evo view owners to chime in on how happy they've been with their tablets?
Do you have specs of the new HTC tablet?
I myself am probably gonna go with the Prime because of the extended battery and better IPS screen. HTC is probably going to be just Super LCD.

$499 For the T.Prime
$99 for the Keyboard Dock
$600 total.
IMHO, I'm going for the prime. I'm not sure HTC will have a good price for their upcoming tablet given the Jetstream is a hefty $700.
The Keyboard dock adds the ports & the massive boost in battery. I'm a road warrior so I'll appreciate the T.Prime more.

that 2 gigs of ram does look tempting, but I like the fact the the prime is dockable, and if I'm thinking right, is capable of 128 gigs of storage (64 built in, 32 micro sd in tablet, 32 sd in dock)
edit: or 256 if you use a 64 gig microsd and a 128 gig sd

This is the ON CONTRACT price. What are they crazy?
The prime looks really sweet! I'm going to put some blind faith in HTC though. I've allows loved how HTC's products feel, they allows feel like a really high end device. I really liked how the flyer felt in my hands when I was checking it out at best buy. I have a horrible feeling the new one is going to be super expensive though.
Al that being said I think I'm going to pick up one of the new Nook tablets because of the price and I read today that barnes and noble basicially told Micro$oft where to shove there patent licensing fees.
i'm stuck between wanting the tprime or the lenovo tablet. i mean, 2 gigs sounds sweet, but asus likes updates, and using as a laptop was really the reason i got an ipad in the first place. the only problem is the ipad can't do much. let's see if i can save up enough before release to even have a choice...
what does everyone else think?
The BGR article said the HTC tablet will be shown in February but "will launch some time before the end of the third quarter." There will be quite a few Tegra3 tablets to choose from by that time unless they release it much quicker. Hopefully they learned from that overpriced Jetstream and try to actually price competitively this time. I will be interested in hearing more on the Lenovo, but right now it looks like I am getting the Prime.

No, that is retail pricing.

$850 without contract
Selling my iPad 2 to get a T-Prime; this **** looks legit.
HTC Tablets have all disappointed me thus far and I'm sure the Lenovo tablet will be thick and plastic just like the last one. They have great specs but their design department sucks balls. :3 (I own a ThinkPad).
I'm a TF101 user, and love it. If it wasn't still meeting all my needs so damned well, I'd sell if for a Prime. As it stands, while the Prime specs are sweet, as fast as Asus is putting these out, by next year when my Microcenter insurance on my TF101 is almost out, Asus will have the third gen Transformer out, and I will be able to decide then whether to go with the Prime or the 3rd Gen TF. The TF101 has not failed to disappoint me, and is my primary device right now. I still have my regular Win7 laptop, but barring a few very minor shortcomings, the Transformer meets all my needs with superior battery life and a size I rather like, and I'm a university student, working on my research disertation, so my TF sees some REALLY heavy usage and document processing.
HTC makes good phones, I have the 3VO, but I don't think that I'd want the heavy UI overlays that HTC tends to put on their products, nor the price tags that tend to go with them. One of my favourite things about my TF is that it's not heavily skinned by Asus, and the UI they do have is very pleasing to the eye, without killing battery life. I'm only just now toying with the idea of rooting, but I haven't (and still don't) feel the need to root this tablet. It's so very usable thus far, and I don't have any problems with battery life or anything else. My 3VO, for the record, was promptly rooted the day I got it. Sense is pretty for a while, but just horrid on the battery, and I really prefer the vanilla Android experience.
YMMV, just my .02 on this topic. FWIW, I think any tech user should look at what they need and want from any given device, and find the one that best matches what those ideals are, regardless of brand. HTH.

My bad... I just read the first part about the Prime being $499 and the guy talking about that being an "on contract" price.
When I was looking at Primes in Taipei, the Guanghua dealers told me that the new ones were all bundled with the keyboard dock.
The box they came in was the same size as the old tablet-only box, graphics changed slightly to reflect both, with the same serial number on both the tablet and the dock.
List price was the same as the old separate pieces, though negotiable as always. Everything was C3 production. Has anyone else seen this, esp. outside Taiwan?

In Europe AFAIK all Primes come bundled with the dock.

Nope, at least amazon.de lists/sells the 64gb version without a dock. I'd post a link but ...
And i also don't think they are starting to offer the 32gb+dock at the same price of the old 32gb sans dock. The dock costs 100€ bundled and 150€ standalone, that would be at least 20% off. Given that the tfp is still the only* tegra3/ics tablet you can buy in europe i doubt such a big drop.
*) maybe not, if so, please show me which tablet/ where to buy it
Ever heard of the Asus easteregg?

^Hmmm so why do i have 64 GB??
To the OP, this is old news since November last year and the rest just another rumour.
To add a little to heresy: I think you can unlock the em(sleeeep)mc and it will quadruple its size. You get 512 GB and it will triple its speed. It's the so called Asus easteregg in the Prime. LOL
Edit: XDA no fun delay !
I saw most 32gb versions in Europe bundeld with the dock, for the exact same price as the 64gb version without dock... this is quite confusing... but well...
@ slowatsch
You are right, two models,
32 GB & dock = 64 GB no dock
It's as simple as that.
The op doesn't seem to have made a minimal research, so he doesn't know what he is talking about.
As you stated you have seen also 32 GB with no dock which makes me wonder Didn't Asus say they would release the 32 GB with dock only ?
Well, nothing worldchanging though, so let's get rid of this ------- MODS !! ----
