clue 1: Toshiba filed the following trademark in early April

user posted image

clue 2: Toshiba registered the following domains in March
- ToshibaThrive.com
- ThriveTablet.com
- ThriveToshiba.com
- TabletThrive.com

still, these are juz guess works, but looks pretty solid to me...

what surprised me more is that it took Toshiba so long to come up with a market name (but still end up being the same as some other devices)... doh.gif

juz go on with Folio, i think that's fine...
*
+1, Folio's name is nice...
but the tablet is quite a failure, as what astria sifu predicted haha laugh.gif

Should be a hot seller!

Hopefully it appears in Ipoh's PC Fair in May! rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

It reach around May? Damn that's really good news, thanks for sharing notworthy.gif
According to lowyat.net, pricing of the tablet will be around RM1600, with the dock (who wouldn't want the dock?), it'll be around RM2000 wub.gif

Yup. It will reach Hong Kong, Singapore in end of April.

So Malaysia should be able to get ahold of it at around May la

YES!!!! rclxm9.gif
But a forumer (Neles) said that after trying it out, the Transformer is even less responsive than the Iconia hmm.gif

ahahaha, i guess that's something for iPad fan to bite... laugh.gif

so much for the Xoom vs iPad2 debate back then...

I have to say Asus has really hit the nail on the head with the Eee Pads, just like what they did with the Eee PCs nod.gif
Even though its relatively cheaper, the Transformer certainly doesn't feel that way.. can't wait to try out one wub.gif

Abit squarish, but I guess it'll do~
Quite creative this design, don't have to worry about being too tight to dissemble the tablet from the dock like that in the Transformer and Iconia laugh.gif

well, as laptopmag has pointed out, with Transformer at such price, any tab that's more costly than it will need to justify the extra cost...

like the case of iPad2, it's US$100/rm300 more expensive, so wat's with the extra money?
*
Brand, design and warranty service? Heard that Apple's warranty are top-notch hmm.gif
As for the other brands, no idea laugh.gif

But it won't last long as competitors will eventually rise nod.gif

Yeah, true also... just go to Singapore and buy, won't cost more than RM100 haha laugh.gif

The S2 looks like the Android equivalent of the Toshiba Libretto W100.

Of a bigger Kyocera Echo. tongue.gif

The S2 looks abit too cylindrical compared to the W100 haha
Would love to see more details on the S1 wub.gif
Update: More details of the S1 and S2 here: http://blog.laptopmag.com/sony-s1-and-s2-a...-worth-the-wait

agree with you. What caught my eyes from the Transformer is the tablet + keyboard dock..but it is more expensive than ipad 2 cry.gif
*
Hard to say since the Eee Pad Transformer is not "officially" out in Malaysia iinm hmm.gif
And if want to compare with iPad2, we should just compare the tablet form of the Eee Pad Transformer which is cheaper?
Do correct me if I'm wrong, don't really remember the prices haha laugh.gif
But of course, the dock is worth the extra money... 16 hours battery life FTW rclxms.gif

Apparently, RM1750 is the 'official' pricing. But guess we will have to wait til its official launching next month.

Ops, sorry din't see your previous message up there doh.gif
Damn, why so expensive one vmad.gif
If like that I might as well just go for an iPad2 lol...
RM1750 can get a Desire S as well laugh.gif

Actually, I dont look at it as more expensive than ipad 2 because, when you pay for the price, you get both table and a notebook functionality with more usage hours due to the external battery pack
*
True, the money for the dock is worth the price since the dock is rather impressive. But if you only go for the tablet, why not just get an iPad2 (If one doesn't mind the OS)?
