By Ritche’s Room TV have gotten their hands on an ASUS Transformer Prime unit and took it for a spin. They go into great detail regarding this first early look at the device. It’s so lengthy that you could almost mistake it to be a review. It’s definitely worth a read and watch so head to their site and be sure to hit play on the video above. [Thanks Mark!]
Does Asus use vanilla Android or do they have their own UI?
Asus doesn’t really skin their device. They add some of their own apps (which I find very useful!) and widgets and change the icons (which I prefer)
I can’t speak with 100% certainty, but from what I have seen I think they have some small changes – almost stock – nothing over bearing.
That should seriously be pornography.
Damn that tablet is friggin hot!
Its design surely does it thing to consumer’s eyes.
I <3 his voice. No homo or anything
lol
The Macbook Air is jealous.
Does either the actual prime or it’s keyboard dock have a USB connector? I presume it is Wi-Fi capable but can it be Bluetooth or USB tethered for improved download capability? What class of SD card is supposed to be used?
the keyboard dock has a full-sized USB 2.0 port.
This thing will clearly be the best consumer tablet on market when it launches, but for someone on a budget (AKA me) is it worth twice the price tag of its predecessor? The original Transfomer was already down to $250 on Black Friday at Best Buy, and I’m sure we’re not far away from seeing it available for $200.
The device sports amazing specs which explains its expensive price, however, reports suggest that the tablet will lower its price at a faster rate next year. I think it has something to do with ASUS releasing a new and faster device.
When the Prime is NOT docked and you click on a text box, does the on-screen keyboard come up? (I assume it does)
Once docked and you click on a text box, does the on-screen keyboard still show up?
no
2 questions:
If I buy the tablet in the US and the Keyboard-dock in germany, will there be any difficulties likely (software doesn´t recognize the other dock?)?
number two: imagine you have the keyboard dock – if you connect the archos 3g stick to the usb port – any chance that the prime will be able to handle that?
“Industrial family feel”. … Nonsensical dribble!, regardless, … oh man, looks so good!
