Stumbled across a possible official Malaysia pricing for the pad + dock:

1 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 16G WiFi with the keyboard dock. Approximate retail value (“ARV”): RM1,799.

Source: http://eee.asus.com/fb/terms/my/index.html

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.

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.

By the time the Tegra3 tablets launch in Malaysia, Tegra4 launch will also be 3-4 months after that, so it will be a never ending cycle of waiting

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.
