if we're a (potentially) big market then they'd release it (together with 3G) as quickly as US. One can only hope.

If there's no 3G then there's not much point in buying Prime really when we already have the TF101. Even the keyboard dock has 1 less USB port what

What is the main explanation those tablet supliers do not release these devices with 3G from day 1? Most people with tablets are on the road...not always can you connect easily to wifi.....how come it is always a 2nd version that has 3G support...?

Can I just connect to my iphone via tethering to the prime and have wifi whereever I go?

as long as your phone can create a hotspot... u can have wifi on the go with wifi featured devices

here's the wonderful link for your question, i just asked my 5 years old son to get the answer. i hope you can do it too

Thanks for the clever reply. I should have perhaps mentioned I meant it more as in 'does it actually work proper' as I always have problems with tethering to my laptop...

the biggest issue with using phone as the wifi hotspot instead of your tablet is battery life. I'd rather let the phone connect my hotspot-enabled tablet since the tablet has bigger battery and (logically) better reception due to the larger size (thus larger antenna, generally lah). i carry my Transformer pretty much everywhere, so it's a no-brainer for it to be the hotspot IMO. It already is my extra battery charger for my phone

Its depend on ppl preferences... If I have hotspot enabled tablet... why would I connect my phone to it since I have bigger screen... than using the phone... If you are a heavy tablet user... than must wait for 3G tablet but if a casual user... like me.. will go for wifi version as I can connect to my phone hotspot... and the tablet can be my extra battery charger.... ^so you not losing anything here I believe...
Then again... it's all depend ppl preferences...

Is tis tablet released yet?how much isit?

OR you could get a Mifi modem. If you're already spending RM2k on a tablet, what's RM 200 for a mifi modem that allows you AND a colleague to get to do work outside the office?

expected this month in the USA. but Malaysia dunno when.

you can, but it's less elegant, and one more device (and cable) to carry

yeah.. true its either get the 3G version or hotspot from your phone...

B&H replied me they will get the stock sometime around 15th dec.
hope i can get it before xmas

Canada will launch on 22nd Dec but already sold out on pre-order.. haizz. When can i get chance to get one

Asus Malaysia just mentioned "Between soon and early next year" which is quite vague if you'd ask me .

Between Christmas and New Year

That's mean December lo ...

But launching or releasing ? They can launch 1st then released weeks later ... However, my hands itchy already, just bought galaxy tab 10.1 3G yesterday.

8 December, US launching

estimated price around?

RM2200. because this is Malaysia, new model must be more expensive
