nice review TS !!

I have also pre-ordered the Transformer from Asus FB. Only thing that i'm still contemplating whether to pick it up this saturday or not is because of the KDS unavailability. Actually not so much on the unavailability but more on the uncertainty Asus My have left to us who pre-ordered. Many of us would like to get the Transformer and not only the "form" without the "trans" but Asus is keeping their mouth very tight about this(actually they seldom reply in FB which causes potential customer to rage haha). We don't even know if we can top up rm301 at a later stage to purchase the KDS or are we force to pay a premium later since it would be then sold to us as accessories rather than combo package.

Since you obviously have some tali with Asus, mind helping us to clarify on this ?

Okay, I have talked to the ASUS guys. Indeed, they are planning to give the keyboard for the same price if you have bought the device together because the problem is on their side. They lack stocks. What I can confirm is, the devices are arriving this week and will reach the customs on Wednesday. Whether they clear the same day or the next day, will determine when you get your devices. They are pushing the throttle and doing their best. I dont want to promise on the keyboard yet. Even I will not be getting the keyboard until the production stock arrives. But I wil definitely keep you guys updated. Especially on my blog.

Thanks for the info. Like i said earlier, i don't mind getting the KDS later but just doesn't like the idea of being "punished" to pay more for giving Asus full supports during the early stage. If what you say is true, then see u guys at Asus MidValley this Saturday !! tongue.gif

USB devices are working perfectly. I was unable to use the USB mouse though - probably because this device is an engineering unit. I can confirm this once I get my own production unit though smile.gif

Good News!

ASUS just called me up and they told me that they are seeking the approval from Taiwan for selling the keyboard at RM300 for the 150 users. They said that they are 90% confirmed and the chances are very high that you will be able to buy the keyboard at RM300 when they come in. smile.gif

I've seen some videos that usb mouse works with the dock, even the wireless logitech mouses works on it haha

anyway, that is some real good news as there are really many out there had the same concern as myself and some already giving up the pre-order because there are no confirmation from Asus Malaysia.

For myself, I'm gonna collect it if they can give a written confirmation about the KDS deal, if not my pre-order slot is up for grab tongue.gif

Isn't that a norm in the market? U go McD order mcvalue meal u get things cheaper and if u go ala carte things cost more...

Anyway got an email from Asus Malaysia saying they waiting for final approval from Taiwan and if it's approved they will announce the keyboard dock deal on fb

It's pure rubbish if they are charging that 2% for cc usage, common man, they are Asus not any small retailer.

I don't remember any established company charges their customers for the cc charges.
