Wow, awesome. I hope this means we'll see it shipping rather soon and hopefully with an immediate update to Ics.
I guess this lines up with Ritchie’s Room announcement that he was going to be releasing his follow up video on Dec 1st!
wow can't wait! a part of me is super excited for the possibility of instant update to ics but i don't know if i want to give up flash quite yet. :/

At the very least we should be getting a lot more reviews/pics/videos after Thursday
Does it say when on December 1st? I think Taiwan is like 13 hours ahead of us (Central time) so if it is sometime in the morning in Taiwan, we might see some news trickle in here in the US tomorrow night.
Sounds like they will be demoing ICS on the prime at the conference. I think to get all the Primes packed and shipped they had to use HC, so this means that on the day we take it out of the box we'll get the ota. Then next run of the prime will be packed with ICS. This sounds cool. Can't wait till the 2nd to get the news and videos since this will most likely be really late on the 1st my time.

They weren't joking when they said "more info in december"! Right on schedule, December the first. And shipping and selling it immediatly that's a very good news. With ICS from day one ? That's awesome too.
Now, will we have ICS for the TF on the same day too ?
ooooh well that means with the UK release being January we might go straight to ICS. nice

I don't think anyone's said (and I have been looking), but according to the info where the review on Ritchie's Room that was taken down is (link), the review will be back up by 5 p.m. Sydney Australia time on the first of December, so one would think that it would be well over by then.

Android 3.2 Honeycomb would be hitting the Tablets soon, so what changes can we expect.
The major update includes support for QualComm New Dual Core Snapdragon Processors (HTC Flyer Soon will get Android 3.2 HoneyComb) along with support for the Mighty NVIDIA Tegra 2.
Other updates includes some bug fixes and updates for in-house Honeycomb Applications like Movie Studio, Movies, Music and widgets.
This shall be the last update for the HoneyComb Android Series, and shall mark arrival of the Ice Cream Sandwich .
Sources, also report about the MOTOROLA XOOM would be receiving the update in couple of weeks.

I figure your nick and the website should probably be pronounced like "gizmo". But when I first read it, all I could think was "jizz me".
Just sayin.
Meh.. I won't hold my breath for these updates.
well hope it comes soon
Considering June is almost over, I think we are looking at August or September for a real time frame.
I've read that HTC are expected to release details of the 10" tablet next week at an event in London.
The 10" table, currently labeled Puccini is said to run Honeycomb. The same report suggest that HTC may also use the event to show the Flyer running Honeycomb.
I'll see if I can find the article again. Having said that it was just an internet news report, so you read into it what you will.

+1 for that, I will wait for a working product in Honeycomb, just give me root for now.
Htc is awesome for waiting to get it right. The flyer is great as is.
Still waiting
Thanks for good news, I'll wait
waiting with my figer cross
I hope it will come also with S-Off!
I'm not really waiting, I like GB and can wait a looonggg time for HC to actually mature.
Sense on Flyer really rocks but I hope that in this long summer we can have an Honeycomb device, especially for tablets 7"
What will Honeycomb really add to the Flyer? I have found the Sense UI to be one of the best out there, and a pleasure to work with. I realize it provides full screen space utilization, but what's the value to that when app development has been so glacial?
It is not about Sense as it is enhancement above Android OS. It is about OS upgrade, "under the hood". OS upgrade always brings new functionalities, bug fixes, new kernel... That's why I want Honeycomb on Flyer and Gingerbread on Desire (and all future Android updates). If I need to choose between Sense UI and OS updates which will bring me bug fixes, I will always choose OS updates.

As the actual HC app list is still small at this time, I hope there is good compatibility with GB still.
What I really need is working PPP encrypted VPN! It has not worked on any Android so far!

I agree fully. I have a Honeycomb tablet and the View gets more use and is more responsive and work-ready than the Acer. Don't get me wrong, I love some things in Honeycomb, but love all of the HTC Sense variation done by the View.

lol sorry but if you want a high quality tablet, this is not for you.. this is a great tablet to jump into the tablet game because of the low-cost but comeon now... its not that powerful..
Hahaha these little crap tablets give Android a bad name! They're saturating the market with low-price, low functionality tablets that virtually NO ONE wants. When it comes to cheap tablets I'm pretty sure the Fire and the Nook will be king (but mostly the Fire), so there's really no reason to have these things. They give ifans a reason to bash Android IMO.
This actually looks better than the Fire to me. I might be a buyer for my 7 year old...Why not? It doesn't look terrible. Wonder if it is completely 100% lead-free? lol
I'm cool with this. Cheaper tablets give us more options. There are people who basically just want a tablet to read ebooks and play the occasional angry birds. That's what's Android all about. Having options.
LOL, looks like asus slacked for too long and got beat by some cheap china tablet company...
You snooze, U loose!
Ohwell, atleast when the prime finally does come out it will have ICS hopefully right around the corner, and hopefully it will make the diffrence we all been looking for.
That chinglish makes my head ache, coming from a Chinese guy.
Lol, Asus is pissed already, but this will kick it
But unfortunatly there are no measurments on the page.
It looks pretty thick.
So what are the dimensions, how much does it weight?
Also it says it is already sold out when I click to order it.

I don't see that it's selling today, I see it's claiming to be the 1st ICS tablet. No different than Asus Prime has been claiming. The race is on to who will be the first to actually be the first to deliver one to a customer
well, it isn't the first Craplet device..
Different options for different budgets. That's not such a bad thing. But keep in mind this $100 tablet comes with a $60 shipping charge that makes it not so great afterall.

who's website?
a.p.p.l.e.
If you only know the answer to like just one question than just answer that one lol. Don't feel the need to answer all of my questions. Thank you for your time.
1. Is the TF Prime going to become the new flagship powerhouse Android® tablet?
*Like the Xoom once was, followed by the Sammy gTAB 10.1?*
2. Will we soon see a ICS aka Android 4.0 port any time soon?
*according to ASUS they will have an official ICS update for the TF Prime in early January of 2012, for some reason I doubt that, even though it shouldn't take them more than a month to push an update especially because they aren't like HTC or Sammy, with there extremely sophisticated Touch Wiz and Sense. That causes for application updates to the Android SDK, to be stripped and gutted in order to put there own skin on top, which takes even more time*
3. How good does the screen look with the Super IPS+, I believe that's what it is called.
*how does it compare to renowned screens on devices such as; The Samsung gTAB 7.0+ w/ its SAMOLED+, The Samsung GSII with Its SAMOLED+, The HTC Vivid I'm not sure what display it utilizes, the LG Nitro I think its called I could be wrong but its an LG phone with I believe a Super Nova something display?, and lastly my current phone the HTC Sensation 4G w/ it's qHD display.(In regards to movie quality, web browsing, pictures, Netflix & Hulu+ streaming, etc and stuff like that.)
4. Also had the tablet received root yet? And any custom roms created yet? (Rather they be in pre alpha/alpha/beta)
5. Lastly should I still get this tablet even if its not available completely till mid January ish? With CES In Vegas early January maybe something better will be announced? For mid spring?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my various questions in regards to the TF Prime. I'm just trying to get as much info as possible before dropping $650+ on this tablet.

It's the first tablet to use a quad-core chip making it the current "flaghship." Others have announced quad-core tablets with release expected Q1. Whether they will be better than the Prime is subjective and will depend on their features. Expect to find out more January 11th at CES.

Asus has been one of the best manufacturers with updates. Based on the importance of them to be first with quad-core I can't imagine them not being one of the first to introduce ICS.

The unique feature of the Prime's display is what Asus has named "super bright." It's far brighter than other displays currently available and would seem the best for daylight use. Asus doesn't make their own displays - they buy them from either Sharp, AIO, or LG the same as everyone else. Only Samsung makes their own displays. Read through people's comments and they're generally satisfied with the display although some have said the colors on the G-Tab are more vibrant and there have been some QC issues.

Personal choice. If you need a tablet now, are an Asus fan, or want the keyboard then buy it now. If you have the time there's no harm in waiting until CES which is only three weeks away to see what tablets are going to look like in 2012.
1. Is the TF Prime going to become the new flagship powerhouse Android® tablet?
it is the current flagship for what's the latest and greatest regarding android tablets as it's the first one running tegra3. it's not like the xoom or the galaxy tab I/O edition in the sense that updates don't come directly from google, rather they come from asus, but so far asus has a good track record in updating the tf101 very quickly and i personally like the small touches they add to the device. if i had to bet, they will be the first mainstream tablet with ICS running on it officially.
also, the xoom was and will always be a piece of crap device that should have never been released. the tf101 and galaxy tab series were the old flagships imo.
2. Will we soon see a ICS aka Android 4.0 port any time soon?
asus has stated end of the year or early next year, they've stated that the primes that will come out in singapore around mid jan will be sold with ICS preloaded on them, so that bodes will for us getting it in the next few weeks or so.
3. How good does the screen look with the Super IPS+, I believe that's what it is called.
the screen is great. superIPS+ is mainly for outdoor use as it bumps the brightness beyond any other tablet in the market, which makes it actually readable in sunlight, but it will murder your battery and shouldn't be on all the time.
personally, i find it to be better than any other tablet screen i've used (xoom, tf101, gtab 10.1, viewsonic gtab, ipad1, gtab 7" (1st gen)) the colors are vibrant, it has great viewing angles, and text is very clear.
4. Also had the tablet received root yet? And any custom roms created yet?
people were able to root some of the primes, but the latest OTA seems to break root if you don't have it already before, some people have said they couldn't root the gamestop tablets even before the OTA, so reports vary. i don't think we'll see any custom roms before ICS drops, with a lot of slower developement being due to less people being able to get it in their hands right now.
5. Lastly should I still get this tablet even if its not available completely till mid January ish? With CES In Vegas early January maybe something better will be announced? For mid spring?
something better will always be around the corner, but i can say with 99% certainty that anything announced at CES won't be on the market until summer (Q2/Q3) at the earliest. and personally, i don't see the point of the insane resolution panels that everyone is trying to make right now. ~720p on a 10" screen is plenty of pixel density for me.
but, if you can't get your hands on one before CES, you might as well see what they announce. personally, i'm happy i got this, and when those tablets finally hit the stores, if i like them, i'll sell this and get one of those, the kicker with the prime though, is the dock, no one else makes something like the dock that works as well as it does. so for me, i'll probably wait until asus makes a tf301 or something like that which runs win8
hope that helped
Ok this something I just noticed tonight When I was downloading pics from Goolge images. When it downloads the pictures and you open the gallery its doesnt order them in the downloaded order which is very strange because the original Gallery I have always had on my Evo never had this problem. I actually noticed this when I copied over my Downloaded pics from My Evo but I thought it was something that had to do with the fact the pictures were originally downloaded from the Evo.
But its the same when it puts the pictures downloaded from the Prime. Wanted to know if there is a way to correct this because its very annoyng. The downloaded pictures should be numbered in the order they were downloaded not randomly like its doing.
For example This my dowloaded pics from left to right beggining to end.
As you Can See the KTM Motorcycle pics were the first but for some reason it split up the first picture of the motorcycleb and put it in the front of the Gallery. The Second group of pics I downloaded was the Shelby Cobra pianted Mystic And the third group of pics were E36 BMW M3s

What answer do you expect from a sub-forum full of people wanting the Prime?
Get the Prime if you have the money to spend.
I sold my transformer to get a prime. Go for it. If you are spending a bunch of money, might as well get the latest and greatest which won't get outdated as quick as the older model.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I have to suggest the Prime. Not only do I love mine, it's much more future-proof. With Tegra-3 graphics being as awesome as they are, I'm sure more and more games will be made for them. Of course, as happened with Tegra 2, most phones will end up with it, and eventually a large part of the Android community will have a Tegra 3 device. At that point, support for Tegra 2 will slowly dwindle as people want bigger and prettier games. Getting a Tegra 3 device now will guarantee you can enjoy every software title, at least until something bigger and badder comes out, like Tegra 4, which we can only speculate a release for. Safe to assume Tegra 3 will keep you in the loop for quite a while, though.
Plus, the Prime is sexy. Really sexy.

At this point, anyone buying a new Wi-Fi tablet should get the Prime. With ICS coming out and higher performance chips you'll start to see applications introduced and optimized for it that won't run or will run poorly on older devices. The only question you should ask yourself is it worth waiting to see the timing and availibility of new tablets announced at CES on January 11th.
I think you should donate it to your favorite charity, or the nearest soup kitchen. The best present is one that helps someone in need...

Thats a very beautiful Asian woman!
To op, get the 32gb prime n you still have about $100 left over. its more than worth it.
I really debated this for myself as well. I wasn't sure i liked the colors or the thinness of the Prime while I held the tf101. I ended up with the TFP and when I opened the box I was more than pleased but still not 100% sure about the Prime. That was Wednesday. Now after a few days with this thing I could not be happier. I have barely set it down. My laptop spends its days and nights silently weeping in the corner or being consoled by my non-tablet-owning wife.

Sorry, somehow can't get the video embebed...
great video. I love his enthusiasm when he announces the products..lol. so according to video, Prime owners are "Mobile Tech Trendsetters". I like it. also clearly shown Asus plans on supporting prime and has no intentions of discontinuing it. With Prime and new tablets, they said they have devices for all market segments. very good news for prime owners. Don't let the hate or negative bashing make you think Prime being discontinued. PRIME IS HERE TO STAY. people don't know what da hell they talking about I really like that Padaphone. really cool how you just slide it into the back of that tablet and transforms from a phone into a tablet. plus it won CES 2012 BEST innovation of the year award. Asus is becoming the 1st. of alot of things tech wise in the tablet world. Asus playing hardball in 2012. very glad to own a Prime.
also for those thinkn the re-branding or name change means phaseout of Prime, video shows you're mistaken. Transformer Prime is now called the TRANSFORMER PAD PRIME" wow big deal..lol. we here to stay!
here is the video:
Shih dude is a character. I see he has practiced his vocal cadence, but the over-the-top delivery combined with his heavy accent makes it a bit hilarious. Probably intentional. He's like an Asian Charlie Chaplin.
The new line (incl TP700) is slated for Q2, so a spring release. Prime still has 2-3 months of limelight for those who care about such things. BTW, Prime is noted as for "mobile tech trendsetters" in the presentation. In the press release, the first sentence describing the Prime says "designed for early adopters." May explain why availability is limited. Well, that, and selling toys right after Xmas is never a good idea.
No mention of everybody's fav, the $250 7" 370T. Would assume then that it won't make spring launch. Would make sense for 2H, since Teg3 would drop more in price by then, to be fitted into a "value" device.
Not much to say about the PadPhone, which occupied half of the entire presentation. Well, two things to say: it's actually a 3-in-1 (phone/tablet/laptop) now with inclusion of keyboard dock, and the stylus/headset combo is pretty cool--at least until you lose it.
We'll see how the hype pans out in reality. Call me a sceptic. Should know by April, its announced launch date.
Overall, have to give Asus props as trying to innovate, which is more than I can say for the rest of the other PC manufacturers. Need to pay more attention to fit-and-finish issues, though.

Not to piss in anyone's Cheerios or speculate the future, but you really need to take what manufacturers say publically with a grain of salt. It's accurate, but only at the moment it's literally said.
Here's a good example. Asus announced a TF101 3G model last spring. They posted a web page for it in August that's still up. Reporters got review samples in the fall. It was never released.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer 3G Price & Release Dates Confirmed
by Darcy LaCouvee on Aug 02, 2011
The current best selling Android Honeycomb tablet in the world, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, has just received the formal treatment, courtesy of Asus. As of a few hours ago, they’ve taken the liberty of putting up an official product page, which is virtually identical to the one of the Wi-Fi only variant, but with one small, important detail. 3G.
According to NetbookNews and NotebookItalia, both of whom we have a lot of love for, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer 3G will be going on sale in Europe for 499 Euros for the 16GB version, and for 599 Euros for he 32GB.which sports a TF101G model number).
Another important thing to note is that Asus has altered the battery time of the Eee Pad Transformer TF101G (with keyboard dock) to be only 14.5 hours, versus the 16 hours of its non-3G brother. According to our sources, we can expect to see these go on sale in Europe first towards the end of August, with the US and Canada to follow shortly thereafter. There’s no word yet whether any of the major carriers will be picking any of these up, but we expect at least one of them to. Either way, expect the 16GB 3G Transformer to go for $499, and for the 32GB to go for $599.

I agree emote. as long as they tighten down their QC issues, Asus is the company to beat, for Android, for 2012 and beyond.
but WTF, I didn't know it had a stylus headset. blew me away when he had the padaphone in the tablet, then the phone starting ringing. so he answered the phone with his Zulus..lmfao WTF! SMH caught me way off guard with that one. you can hear the crowd gasping with Amazement. Damn, I would love to have that 3-1 setup. from Phone to Tablet to Notebook. it has me rethinking my galaxy note future purchase now. I wonder if the phone will come with at least the tablet display. if so how much? then would the tf-201 dock be compatible or is this yet another separate dock needed?
I'm sure Asus is going to be star of MWC. the have some? !#& for ya..lol but dang Asus, you really need to take care of Prime issues some having. Don't let this taint all these new great devices you bringing out.
I must admit, at first I didn't think much of the phone. didn't know or cared for details on it. but now after seeing this video, I think I gotta have one..lol I wonder does the tablet have its own separate memory storage or uses the phone storage only. does display have any other ports on it? man, this is crazy! this completely destroys what Motorola tried to do with the Atrix.

fair enough point. but here's the kicker and the difference, PRIME IS ALREADY OUT NOW and still selling. more n more new people joining this section of forum daily. we here to stay buddy. we won't fall for the Doomsday hype. until that day comes, or the fat lady sings, we not trying to hear it. We stay Optimistic not Pessimistic!
REGARDLESS Asus stole the MWC show with the Padaphone.
I think he did a great job, it's hard to speak in front of people like that, and his enthusiasm comes through. Well done.

This is XDA. You want to be objective... not optimistic or pessimistic.
Anyways, MWC as a whole is nothing but disappointment so far. Honestly, I'm not sure how Padaphone stole the show when HTC ONE X is getting the most buzz....
But yea.. MWC so far.. is boring & makes you wonder why they even have the event. Apple's March event is getting more press/media coverage.... =/
