Got to know from Youtube about Eee Pad Transformer launch in Taiwan.
These are short sketches about Eee Pad Transformer, which I find it entertaining and hilarious.  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymfiYWQhF2A...e=relmfu.com.tw 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02gjIUKne84 This 10" tablet seems interesting with USB port, card reader. When is it coming to Malaysia?  |

Cool. Do you know roughly how heavy is the pad?
The detachable touch screen and keyboard docking sounds cool. |

Yes, that were the reasons I find it interesting. Not like iOS with so many limitations.
But I heard this initial batch of Eee Pad is only equipped with WiFi feature. 3G version will come in only about 2-3 months later. |

Judging by price tag on Taiwan $500 tablet extra $100 for keyboard... it seem won't be so cheap compare to iPad...
The keyboard is a extra battery... |

But it's with android apps. So should have whatever other android tablets can have.
And good news is... my friend in Taipei told me it's Android 3.0 honeycomb! The performance and interface should bring greater satisfaction than those tablets with Android 2.2 |

QUOTE(41LY45 @ Mar 29 2011, 11:10 PM) Can't it has an ARM Processor( Tegra 2) there's no doubt that windows will be coming for ARM chips very soon, it wants a piece of the (tablet) pie very badly. anyway, there are some tabs that runs on atom chips, these can be dual booted, like the viewpad.I had played around a tablet with Win 7. (Viewsonic VPAD 10) Win 7 on a tablet = Blasphemy Anyway, can't wait for it to land here. Now to get find a proper office Suite for Android. if i'm going to buy a tablet, i really want one that has windows OS and also android in it. plus a proper USB socket for my pendrive and also bluetooth connection to my wireless keyboard and mouse, not to mention a stand that is built into the tablet's back so when I'm using Windows, the tab itself could act like a monitor, and the whole thing will become a laptop. this will be the ultimate tablet / laptop / netbook. how hard can it be?

WP7 tablets?
 it's easy to dual boot to Android on x86 CPU... have seen that on some Acer Aspire One netbooks as well... but not the other way round... |

one thing i don't like about ASUS, they make crappy motherboards, always fry within 3 years. i had 3 different ASUS mobo in the last few years, all fried. i used MSI, GIGABYTE, INTEL and even PC chips bought in the same period, all are still running. in fact, the longest running mobo is PC chips! it's 10 years old and still going strong, from windows 2k to winxp. i even installed win 7 in it, although it's lagging a bit, but it's still usable! and i'm not saying i choose which one to abuse, all of them are running almost 24/7

All 3 of my rigs are on ASUS motherboards, with the oldest at 5 years. Still going strong and one of them is where I'm typing this from. I love their little innovations too.
Gigabyte one was fried on my 2nd rig 2-3 years back. QUOTE(nothing_nth @ Mar 30 2011, 11:57 AM) r u serious? Asus is well known in MOBO... IMO u jz the unlucky 1~ QUOTE(stormlcc @ Mar 30 2011, 01:52 PM) of course i'm serious. well known doesn't mean it's reliable, proton is also well known in malaysia, does their brand makes them good? i can confirm it's their motherboard's problem, because when it fried, i took out everything on it (processor, RAM, PSU) and put all of them into another brand's mobo, it worked fine until now. 3 units of Asus mobo from low spec to high spec (celeron 2 years plus, P4 and dual core not more than 2 years) also faced this problem before and all 3 also i swapped out the cpu, rams and stuff into other mobo. after swapping to other brand, the hardware is still running until now (24/7 as usual). and 1 year ago i purchased a core2 duo with Asus mobo (giving it one last chance), the mobo spoiled within 6 months, brought it back for warranty, now keeping it in store room collecting dust because i bought a GIGABYTE mobo to replace it when it was sent back to claim warranty. i swore i wouldn't use ASUS anymore. i'm not bashing this brand, i'm stating only facts. Added on April 5, 2011, 11:18 pmBTW the videos posted by TS looks like an excellent parody by ASUS of the US comedy "The Big Bang Theory". If you watched the show before, you can see ASUS's ad company really did a good job imitating the show, lol! Even the name, "The EeePad Story" rhymes with the original show's name.

Seems like software issues in the Xoom are still present. Will see how fast the updates come, for it's a shame if that is slow considering how good the whole package seems on paper. |

how can it be around the xoom's price, its 399 for the lower spec.
399 used times 3 = thats less then 1300rm. so it will be around 1300-1400rm. right now the us dollar is weakened, that it competes 2.995 ringgit to 1 us dollar. |

Anandtech has a favourable review of the device, although there's still some niggling issues with the dock detection and camera/video. |

android honeycomb tablets manufacturers are having a very bad marketing decisions here, ipad2 most likely will be launched this friday.
if they want to compete with ipad2, they should release it before ipad2. i've been waiting for honeycomb tablet to be released here for so long, if ipad2 coming this friday, i will get ipad2 since i need it for travel purpose. |

Comparing iPad2 with Transformer, It is USD399 vs USD 499 at US but it is SGD699 vs SGD728 at Singapore. For whatever reason, it seems the Transformer is price higher for this part of the world. |

The reason is currency exchange... But with RM going strong against US... we might see the price become reasonable...
1USD = RM3 |

I couldn't wait and ordered one from Taiwan through Ebay, got it yesterday
This little baby is gorgeous, but as has been reported, the Honeycomb software is still buggy and had frequent crashes. I got an OTA firmware update last night, hopefully that stabilizes things a bit. Impressions: 1. Screen is nice, but very reflective, especially in bright conditions. 2. Fantastic for reading ebooks and magazines - form factor just nice and easy to hold for long periods. 3. Not many Honeycomb optimized apps yet - most are just direct ports from Froyo versions. 4. Asus built in apps all work great. |

Yup, there's a mini HDMI port on the tablet itself. I tried it just now, it worked for 5 mins then suddenly the eee pad died and refused to start! I think cheapo hdmi cable, sigh. Luckily, after 10 mins the eee pad restarted without any side effects. |

Im so tempted to get eee pad but iPad 2 launch earlier make my hand itch.
I already have an iPhone don't want another oversized iPhone. Gotta resist. Apple apps for tablet is just better than google at the moment. I want a tablet to surf, my iPhone 3.5 screen make me tired looking at it, also needed an easier device to transfer all my movies. I guess android is a better choice, I think. |

correct, just like latest google maps. the update push based on your sim location. because google want to offer only new version if the feature have the maps support. for example 3D building rendering not available in asia here except japan. just a have fun to switch in market enabler to other region. then u will have the update, explore to US map have to look, it's cool.... |

Yup.. Ipad 2 16gb WIFI version having very attractive price tag...
I'm very disappointed with the Asus Transformer price tag... but we haven't heard any official news from Asus Malaysia yet. I would say the RM1750 is still speculation price... If that's true... I think I will jump ship... Acer Iconia Tab W500 with 32GB+WIFI+keyboard cost only RM1699.... |

Apple do huge bulk purchase for the components they use and they can get really good price with that. In term of spec, the only thing IPad2 have less is RAM ( mainly effect multi tasking ) and their GPU is about twice faster than Tegra2. |

QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Apr 30 2011, 12:28 AM) Huh??? I thought they already launch the transformer last week or so at sgd 699 if not mistaken that only for 1st 100 customer,and they have latest promotion which is 799 SGD (tablet with dock) 799sgd= almost 2k ringgit, if u have fren in US can get the tablet for 399 USD= 1,2k,and docking for 149 USD=450 ringgit,overall =1650 ringgit or if u have fren from UK can get dock at 50 GBP= 250 ringgit, much cheaper |

I'm not sure how many units Asus have for the launching date but all the stores in the US are out of stock... with all the promotion plus huge list of resellers, I thought it would be easy to get stock. But now all those resellers are either preorder, or just out of stock.

If I end up with both I'd just sell one off. |

I would just say choosing a tablet just purely based on pricing alone is the worst criteria. One need to understand the differences among all the various tablets - on Android OS alone each brand has its unique features. iOS is a completely different OS and using it to compare with Android OS one needs to study both OS pro and cons and decision made based on which OS features meet your needs better.

Ya, I understand that. but since android tablets prices are much more cheaper than ipad2 in US but it is in another way in Malaysia/Singapore. That makes us felt that psychological imbalance somehow. |

Seems like the Asus EEE Transformer production line has been crippled by lack of parts. Could it be Apple hoarding all the IPS screen production? Possible. |

QUOTE ASUS Singapore Official Fan Club Hi all, in regards to price difference in US & SG for Eee Pad Transformer, there're many factors to it as different countries will have different pricing structure which we cannot release anymore information as it's confidential. In addition, warranty for US purchase is only local warranty (covered in US) while for SG units, it's international warranty. Thanks. |

Because the production of Asus too slow. Only 10k per month, they expected 200k per month. The japan quake effected the production speed.

I haven't ever handled a Wifi only Android device yet but anyway:
To buy paid apps on a device, you need to use Market Enabler or a similar tool to fool the Android Market to assume that your SIM card is from a telco in a country that can buy paid apps. What about the Transformer? |

Based on the countdown on the Asus Malaysia FB page, looks like official launch and pricing announcement is on next week Wednesday 18 May, 8am.
Wonder how much will be the price for tablet alone without dock? Based on SG pricing for dock alone is S$199 (RM480), and if the RM1799 is not a promo bundle price, best guess for tablet standalone could be ~RM1350 - 1400++, somewhere closer to ipad2 price. For further comparison, Asus Philippines FB page admin commented their local launch for Philippines is in June, price PHP 21999 (didn't state tablet alone or bundle), equivalent to around RM1527. Added on May 9, 2011, 10:19 pmDigged up more info: 1 year Global Warranty for the tablet, same as singapore units.

While the asus tablet is lacking in a normal USB port for us to plug thumbdrives, mouse etc., some forummers on XDA have managed to use a normal female to female USB converter to change the charging cable into a useable USB port, although not 100% compatible with all USB hardware yet.

So many tablets. After playing with Ipad2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab firsthand, I would wait for this year's lineup for android tablets, besides Xoom.
So many choices, so little money but hope this one would be like a very good choice for my first tablet. |

If it's indeed below 2K, I won't mind that!
Ipad2 is a nice integration of both the hardware and software, hence the smooth operations and all, but for me the OS is just the too boring for me.  Plus, with the said batteries life, can't get better than that. |

Apparently the international warranty offered is different in different country . I read on ASUS Singapore page, Singapore sets are with international warranty which they advertised it as a prominent feature. |

Thanks for the confirmation. Local set means like AP right? We only can send warranty back to where we bought the devices. Anyone know any source for HK price? |

but i think product with tegra 3 will be the highlight of the new model in US mobile conference or exhibition end of the year, then at the same time reveal tegra 4..like wat last yr happened... then the process repeat again
and if refer to samsung's product, after 3-4 months time samsung might just only launched their new tab for a while.. samsung wont go kill off their own new device like tis within 3-6 months....so do other manufacturer like sony or asus or even acer.. dun forget they still got new model not yet launching and might using tegra 2 also.. so in my opinion, tegra 3 is still need some time to wait.. fastest will be dec ..or even till beginning of next yr or later.. they wont do such rugi business ... just my 2 cent so its really no ending waiting game... |

Am pretty much hyped about this device already. Just waiting for the official pricing for our market.
Other devices have the 'brightest, thinnestor lightest' as their forte's, but Asus, for me, has practicality and competitive pricing range. With that battery life, very much appreciated in a long journey and watch at least few movies to kill the boredom, not to mention other things you can do with android devices. |

I never do such things, got better things to do. It is not like they are giving 50% discount for early bird. So why the rush to get it. This post has been edited by Cynox: May 16 2011, 09:38 AM |

The countdown date has no indication whether it's a sell launch or just a pricing announcement. If immediately available for sale on the date, I'm sure the garage sales vendors here would already have pre-orders lists going. But from their silence it seems Asus has yet to give them any info or stocks even. Anyways no need for those queuing activity lah, only those hipster mac fanatics want to copy orang putih eat too full nothing to do. |

When DiGi launched the Desire HD, many run like headless chicken in klang valley to hunt for it - the stock was so limited everywhere.

I was at Challenger Spore ( Funan) and on one big table - all the tablets were displayed. I tested the Xoom, Iconia, EEE Pad and I must say I am most impressed with the Iconia performance. The Xoom seems heaviest and not so slick as the Eee Pad/Iconia. The Eee pad was the ugliest of the lot

But, Iconia has the lowest battery life among all the tablets according to the review. |

Went to senheng n test out xoom vs iconia. Iconia is much more value for money with almost same spec but cheaper by RM500. Some slight lag noted when zooming +/- web sites but immaterial. Asus not out yet n senheng will not distribute so I will wait n see as 1799 with keyboard is worth consideration. Besides, I am also eager to compare both screen. From video review, Iconia screen colour looks a bit washout compare to Eee pad. (maybe I got use to samoled screen)

for me the tablet works great with the keyboard dock.. i for sure will bring both together everywhere coz still feel weird/uncomfortable holding the tablet alone for long period .. great for movie watching as well.. some more with incredible long hours of battery usage when docked!

If I have to wait for another month to get the keyboard then another month for Asus to release USB dongle and HDMI-VGA, I probably will give up on it.

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..

Generally, most IPS suffer from this problem, except the higher end model like H-IPS where it has been improved dramatically. Still, not all would be affected. Perhaps those who play FPS (First Person Shooter) game will be critical of it due to the ghost image. |

I wish i'm in the pre-order list... but without the dock.. it's really weird... However.. you could then try to use it first and when the dock is available on end of June.. you could then decide if you need the dock or not...
For me, without the dock is like autobot without wheels... |

However.. you could then try to use it first and when the dock is available on end of June.. you could then decide if you need the dock or not... seriously? why would it look weird when the concept is 98% same as other tablets in the market right now? i am getting sick of all these kinds of comments. without the dock it would be vehicles without wheels, pens without papers, men without women? ying without yang?For me, without the dock is like autobot without wheels... come on, guys just need to chillax. the dock is NOT a must, but rather, it gives you an OPTION. if you justify a tablet's utility that a tablet is useless without the keyboard dock, then what would happen to iPad, Xoom and Iconia? i for one is not willing and will not get the keyboard dock, i want my portability, i am not lugging another piece of hardware just because ASUS offers an option to do so. tablets do not require dock especially in mobility. keyboard docks are not a necessity, period. i would not get the dock. even if i had an iPad, Xoom or Iconia and even if they all come with the same option (keyboard dock) i am not buying as well. i have my laptop/desktop that does all the things needed with keyboard. and they are so much more efficient. |

RM300 for a Battery pack with keyboard and touchpad. Consider a bargain already.
Buying extra BT kb + mouse + battery pack sure more than RM300. I would said Eee pad + dock is a good option. Worth a wait. Anyway, everyone have their choice. So Cheer up and be patient a bit lo |

a bargain? are you a reseller in disguise? do you just happen to walk into a hypermarket and momentarily sweep all the items that come with 10% discount tags because they umm.. are a bargain? tough nut to crack that kinda thinking man.
at the end of the day, i want my tablet to be just a tablet. i'm sure a lot of people out there agree with me. This post has been edited by ahtiven: May 22 2011, 02:46 AM |

Yes I agree if I want a keyboard I would buy a laptop.at the end of the day, i want my tablet to be just a tablet. i'm sure a lot of people out there agree with me. But mouse function sometimes is necessary especially when you want to set profile picture in Facebook webpage where you have to use mouse to crop your picture. |

its really a bargain at 300 actually since its battery + keyboard dock + 2 usb ports + card reader..it suits my need when i want to type with a physical keyboard and when i want to transfer stuff to the tablet. for those who are ok without the keyboard dock then go ahead just get the tablet lar..no biggie, this is just up to you entirely, no need to get snappy rite?

How many confirm buying the dock later will still be RM 300 ?
Not even one confirm , so it's not suitable discuss yet. Maybe the raise the price for tablet and reduce the price for the dock ? dock = price fine tablet = price expensive since US only 399x3 =Rm 1200 |

I can tell you guys one thing for sure..The initial plan is to sell the keyboard more expensive than RM300 in the market if purchased separately. Its only RM300 if you purchase it together. However, now that ASUS has stock problems, they are revising this again and might be selling it at RM300 regardless.
Source : ASUS themselves. lol I'm going to be starting a new thread for the Transformer. This can be the official thread, I have no problems. The other one will be for actual support since I have the device here in my hands |

QUOTE Also, please bear in mind that you’ll be getting the Eee Pad tablet this Saturday at RM1,498. As you were well informed, the docking keyboard will be available later in Malaysia. Therefore, ASUS will offer a special rate for dock purchase at only RM300 to the first 150 loyal pre-order customers. quoted from asus marketing. update for all. |

uncle benny, are you sure one can buy the keyboard for just S$100 ?? I thought that price is only applicable if you buy tab S$699 + dock S$100 = S$799
but if it is S$100 outright buy without the combo deal, indeed its a very nice price |

QUOTE(xplodingplastix @ May 28 2011, 05:06 PM) OK, now stupid 'no sim for android market' prob. =D doing thorough research on this tf101. not much app can be found under 3.1honeycomb.. no marketenabler as well. .arhh!! this is what posted in iconia's thread for market enabler... but of cause need to root your device first..maybe someone can try it out... The country limitation can be overcome. Follow these steps. 1) Root the device.(Don't ask how to do it..google) 2) Install Market enabler 3) disable the location and security settings (uncheck all three) 4) under the application setting, go to manage application and then look for Market. Under market, force stop and clear all data. 5) Setup US VPN account(if you dont know...thn Google) and then create a new google account through this VPN. DO NOT use the existing one. 6) Run Market enabler and use one of the us carriers settings 7) Log in to the market using this new account. Run Market and it should work now |

If you have FP on your SGS II - use ES File Explorer - select Apps Manager - scroll down the list of apps - right click on Flash Player and select backup ; the APK file will be backup onto the SD card/backups . Copy the apk file over to the EEE Pad and just install itThanks in advance! |

is there any other way of enabling apps download from market other than root/download from net?
this "your country cannot install" issue is quite weird i would say as i own a xoom, i don't have this issue! rooting will void the warranty...thats the main reason im reluctant to root my fren's transformer This post has been edited by MangKoK^ayon: May 28 2011, 10:51 PM |

Actually I don't feel any lag in Lowyat forum on my iconia. The issue was more on replying and is true the default keyboard is not very responsive. Using Steve Lin gingerbread keyboard is very much better is worth the 99cent I pay for it |
