transformer is really tempting. but i cant deny the "ugly" look of it, i mean, the design, cant it be better? sighh.. and i guess this is the first gen of tablet+keyboard device, so the next gen should be lot better...arghhh..buy an ipad 2 and use it while waiting for better android tablet, then DITCH the ipad2 into the drain. (the reason i said this is coz Apple device hard to drop price, means can sell a bit high later to get an Android..haha)..urghh..

QUOTE(Cynox @ May 20 2011, 10:42 AM) so might as well wait till Fall for the Tegra 3 new Transformer II. What u mean honeycomb 3.1 due in june?wait for another year is a bit too outrageous....  It is very logical to expect Tegra 3 will be launched very soon. Coz Tegra 2 is already an out-dated product as it was waiting for Honeycomb 3.0 to launch. Since Honeycomb 3.1 is due in June, the OS is really get ready for the Tegra 3 in Fall. And all the other Asus accessories will be readily available by then.  Sometime in tech gadgets world, it is not a very good move to jump into the first train, the second batch normally will be more refined with all the bugs ironed out. A good recent examples is the sandy bridge chipset launched by Intel.

How much was the preorder price by asus?

The Tegra2 processor (and all other ARM processors) cannot run the Intel x86 instruction set natively.Win8 could be possible depending on the awesomeness of the folks on XDA-developers. |

i pre-ordered eepad with docking. now got email says my order got transferred to asus malaysia midvalley and docking not available. argh! why their business is like this!? (they refunding my money for the docking tho).
and since i pre-ordered earlier than anybody else before they announce in their asus fb, hopefully i can get free leather pouch to pay back their nonsense behavior. kinda disappointed overall. hopefully am not disapointed with the tablet. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ^Heres the latest update for you guys to refer.. NO DOCKING UNTIL END OF JUNE!!! my tablet will only survive 8 hours++ without it. This post has been edited by xplodingplastix: May 20 2011, 04:01 PM |

QUOTE(Ultima @ May 20 2011, 03:35 PM) really? iianm toshiba folio runs on tegra n on windows 7... Windows 7 was compiled for running on the X86 CPU instruction set. This is only supported on Intel, AMD, VIA and one or two very small CPU makers.Nvidia, Qualcomm, TI, Samsung and other CPU makers are using ARM instruction sets. If you want Windows on ARM, wait for windows 8 as it will support ARM processors. |

Window 7 wasn't design to run on tegra2 system and etc but you can install and run other linux distro like ubuntu .You have to chroot it to run ubuntu ontop of android.http://trsohmers.com/2011/03/06/how-to-run...-motorola-xoom/ Wanted to ask , it's a must to buy a bundle of docking to get best price RM 1799 or buying tablet this month 1499 and getting the same price for docking RM 300 if buying at next month ?

Asus's poor marketing and product distribution already shifted my interested on transformer to either Xoom/Iconia A500 already. Good luck Asus.
