3G Equipped ASUS Transformer Prime Not Hitting Anytime Soon

5

If you were holding out on the current ASUS Transformer Prime in hopes of a 3G compatible version with your favorite carrier you may want to exhale. Chances are looking pretty slim for a 3G equipped T-Prime dropping this year with the company saying in a statement, “no such product exists on its current roadmap.” Bummer. Well, at least you can finally justify purchasing the more high-def TF700T model we got our hands on at CES last week, launching in Q2 of this year.

Anyone upset at this news or do WiFi-only tablets keep you more than satisfied?

I’m on a call. I can’t connect and talk. Wait. I’m in a cab on the way into town. I dont have enough battery for both… Wait. I……

  4. No cell connection = no deal.  Sorry Asus.  You guys rock, but you need a 3G/4G radio otherwise you won’t be able to tear me away from my Xoom.
