There are indeed orders being delayed and cancelled...too bad as I am sure it will affect availability in other regions too.

i dont mind it is delayed because i dont have the budget this month if it were to come out.
 furthermore, it'd better be problems-free when i get my unit. I dont want to buy something which turns out later to be problematic. Luckily they found out about the wifi antenna issue, if not, imagine if worldwide customers get a hold to a retail product and pay handsomely for it but with bugs and hardware-related probs. It could tarnish their name in the global tablet industry. i'd say, +1 for Asus. GG Asus!  |

potential delay?!?
Hasbro Sues ASUS For “Transformer Prime” Name – Says Consumers Will Associate The Tablet With Autobot Leader http://phandroid.com/2011/12/21/hasbro-sue...mer-prime-name/ QUOTE What do we have here. Oh yes, it’s yet another lawsuit from a company attacking an Android manufacturer. Nothing new there. Or is it? In a surprising twist, this time, the lawsuit has nothing to do with an Android competitor. Seems Hasbro isn’t too keen on ASUS allegedly “stealing” one of their trademarks when they released the Transformer Prime (now being shipped). According to Hasbro, the Transformer Prime is clearly “stealing” their trademark from the Autobot leader, a Mr. “Optimus Prime,” who is the star of their Transformers franchise. Hasbro’s believes that ASUS was banking the fact that consumers would associate the convertible tablet with the animated TV show. They issued this statement: QUOTE “The specific actions we are taking today against ASUS underscores yet again Hasbro’s willingness to pursue companies who misappropriate our intellectual property for their own financial gain.” I can’t imagine anyone could actually associate the tablet with a children’s TV show (and one of the best 80′s movies of all time) but I guess anything’s possible. Should ASUS be forced to change the name of the greatest Android tablet of all time to avoid a conflict with the greatest Autobot of all time?

Looks like hasbro want a piece of the expensive pie.
But legally Hasbro have a point there. Transformer Prime sounds like autobot's leader mainframe system.  |

no point la. people cannot sue other people based on name alone, it has to be industry-related.

No verdict anytime soon....
I am quite dissapointed that every country has their own launch dates and estimates prices, but here we are still waiting for concrete information on when and where to buy it and for what price. A month ago I could understand not being able to give information; but this is a bit dissapointing. |
