32GB version is still very vague at the moment. Honestly, I'm much keen in looking forward towards the 3G version than the 32GB one smile.gif

Not saying that. RM300 would be for the dock if you purchase a combo product. Since the keyboard is not in and the combo can't be combined, they are willing to sell the keyboard for RM300. Otherwise, it would be more than RM400.

I agree with the McValue meal deal. If you dont buy the combo in the first place, then you should not get the same price later. Thats how "upselling" works.

As far as smoothness is concerned, I dont want to compare it to iPad. I don't want to hurt the iPad fans, but I don't consider iPad as a tablet. I call it a ripping machine. I dare to speak because this is the Android section and we have the "army" here..hahaha

irenic..yep, 3G version will be coming soon..Its not in the production yet though considering even the wifi is out of stock..lol

So you guys will be at MidValley this Saturday? I'm thinking of going there to support you guys too..


Added on May 24, 2011, 1:14 amI'm not sure if you guys realized it, but in the list of the 150 names, look at the name number 69..LOL!

It's true that iPad would shine a lot more if Apple would just support Flash10. Still, I really felt Google could have done more before releasing it. Half cook eggs... At least these tablets are running a single standard hardware which would be easy to implement any software upgrade in future. I will definitely buy an Android tablet next year but for now, just enjoy the iPad first. The best tablet is still my Win7 la. Android? Good but not good enough, especially when you already have an Android phone.
*
iPad is not only about Flash10. Its about disallowing freedom totally. Whatever goes in the iPad has to be purchased from Apple which to me is total nonsense. I have lots of stuff myself that I want to use with my device and I want to organize things the way I want on my device - not the way the device decides. Idk how Win7 can be the best tablet. Tell me one thing the Win7 tablet can do and the Android cant.

owh..then i just go to have a look.. doesnt matter if luck is at my side or not coz the event will be held at midvalley so i can always plan for sthing else after that  smile.gif

neway it's true.. i was blur and without ur assistance and guide definitely i'd gave up and went back to the iphone..  notworthy.gif

Then I guess Google needs to pay me some royalty for converting an ifan into a geek..hahaha..j/k biggrin.gif

QUOTE(trio @ May 24 2011, 02:27 AM)
hehe i am in 3x. Most important thing for me! Does this thing work with usb internet dongle?
*
That by far is the best question! I'll test it out right away.

Note that I will be giving back this engineering unit tomorrow to ASUS. They need it for another press conference on wednesday. I will be getting my device on wednesday or thursday most probably. We can do further testing from that point onwards. This device will be with me till 4pm today.

Okay guys, I have tested the USB internet, it doesn't work. But I don't really care about that coz I have a MiFi which can be used as a wireless modem, is small and easy to carry around - and gets my job done smile.gif

Hahahaa you getting it before saturday?

Damn need to fork out few hundred for a mifi router. Plus there is two device to charge... XD

To me, its worth the money spent. It can easily last a few hours of heavy usage and when the battery is down, just plug the USB. Your transformer will have a KDS that has USB remember? wink.gif

Your sets will come with dock or just tablet..? smile.gif

I will be just like you guys after this..Tablet first, then keyboard later on smile.gif
Only thing is, I have had hands on with the keyboard already..haha..

In a way, its kinda awesome to put things this way..You get to play with the tablet first, then you get the keyboard later on..That is when you can really identify the difference and advantages of having the keyboard..I swear you guys will appreciate it more smile.gif Battery life + keyboard usage + everything in the middle..


Added on May 24, 2011, 12:59 pmh11g, 3G wont be in that soon..Not at least before the keyboards are in thats for sure..The 3G is yet to be even announced officially smile.gif

do we need to pay for subscribing the newspaper like only free 3 issues then the rest you have to buy it?

and if we did not prebook in facebook, when will the stock arrive in shop nationwide?
*
They use a system called "credits". There were free 7 credits with the device so I used them up biggrin.gif Not sure what happens once you wipe though. I dont mind buying the newspaper really. Its a lot better than buying the paper version anyway.

QUOTE(SihamZhai @ May 24 2011, 03:48 PM)
You seriously make me feel like getting one la.. but its hard to choose btw a phone or a tablet. The reason im going with phone is because of the mobility and that I'm still a student so ya..
*
Tablet and phones are totally different worlds. You can't compare them directly. And remember, this Transformer is wifi only and has no 3G - which means you can't make calls with it. Unless you buy the 3G version which will be released somewhere in the future.

Look guys, its simple..If you are in the 150 pool, you can get the KDS for RM300 later on..For those who are not in the 150 pool, just wait for the combo deals to arrive..Simple~ smile.gif

Dual boot is a great idea but for me the ultimate dual boot I want on transformer is Backtrack 5!!!! That would be dream came true!!
*
While it is possible, its going to be a tough call though. In order to use Backtrack, we will have to use a custom modified kernel first. The default kernel won't run it. Even that is doable. The real problem is that since Honeycomb is closed source, ASUS is not going to be dropping their source on the git and hence we will not have much to play with.

Of course I wish I could have Backtrack on it too..hehe..
