By The NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament has just gotten underway- excited? Just like picking your next gadget, there are a lot of choices to make when filling out your bracket. What sets apart the decent teams from the perennial powerhouses? What teams will make it deep into the big dance?
To help answer that question, we’ve enlisted the help of NVIDIA who are providing us 2 ASUS Transformer Prime’s to giveaway along with 2 docks. Color? Amethyst grey. Size? 32GB. in this contest.
And if you think about it, elite teams and elite processors are a lot alike.
Speed & Hustle
Great teams are fast. They think fast. They move fast. They react fast. So fast that it appears to be natural; a matter of instinct. The same goes for gadgets: fast gadgets that operate quickly, smoothly, and instantaneously are always the better bet. In both cases (teams/gadgets), talent and power can make the job seem effortless, but we’re smart enough to know how much work it takes to achieve this level of play. NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processors offer a level of speed and power that many would say is unmatched in the mobile world.
Endurance, Depth, & Teamwork.
Being fast is great, but if a 30-second sprint leaves your best player out of commission, your team is in a world of trouble. Successful basketball teams have players conditioned to play hard for a lot of minutes, and the best teams have great players coming off the bench to fill in. In terms of processors, NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 Quad-Core devices have an unmatched level of endurance and depth.
Tegra 3 powered devices like the ASUS Transformer Prime have 4 cores. Like any good team, the cores work together to help balance the workload, accomplishing much more as a team than they could alone. The four cores use a lot of energy, but both endurance and depth are drastically increased by NVIDIA’s “player off the bench”. Tegra 3 devices have a 5th core designed to claim the entire workload for tasks that require low power, allowing their star players to rest. When the big boys aren’t needed, the 5th core kicks in. That means longer battery life and a better user experience. Endurance, depth, and teamwork.
Passion (Love for the Game)
Talent is often wasted when people don’t seem to care enough. When they don’t have that fire, that spark; the desire and need to win. Some would call it the love for the game. If there is one thing NVIDIA has, it’s a love for gaming. NVIDIA works directly with game developers to build games that exploit the power and opportunity of Tegra 3 devices. The result? Over 20 games that are of console quality, running smooth as ever.
The video doesn’t do the games justice. Pick up a Tegra 3 device, play a powered by Tegra game, and be wowed. It’s truly amazing stuff. Beautiful, crisp, clear, fast. Gamers will truly love Tegra 3 powered devices like the Transformer Prime and this love for gaming makes NVIDIA, their products, and their customers all winners.
The Four Core Teams Contest
To celebrate the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, we’re running a contest where TWO lucky readers will win a Tegra 3 powered ASUS Transformer Prime. Narrowing down from 64 teams to 4 teams takes it down to the core. With NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processor you’ve got 4 cores, plus one core coming off the bench in the clutch. If College Basketball teams were powered by processors, I’m betting the final rounds would have a lot of four core Tegra 3 in them.
So that’s your goal: select which Men’s College Basketball teams will make it the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament. Or as we call the teams, the Four Cores.
Here are the rules:
- Leave a comment on this article that includes (1) The 4 teams you believe will make it to the semi-finals, and (2) Include a few sentences why YOU should win the Transformer Prime and why the teams you selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power (for the tiebreaker).
- One entry per person, additional entries will be disqualified
- Must be 18 years old with United States postal address to claim prize
- Deadline to submit entry is 11:59PM Eastern Time on March 16th, 2012
- Two winners will be selected once the semi-finalists of the College Basketball Tournament have been announced
- Each winner will receive a 32GB Amethyst Grey ASUS Transformer Prime and a dock
- Winner will be identified as the person who correctly identifies the most teams that actually make the semi-finals. In case of a tie, winner will be selected from these finalists by the Phandroid staff and at the sole discretion of the staff.
- Winners will have one week to respond to the contact E-Mail and if no response is received a replacement winner will be selected.
- Phandroid staff reserves the right to update, edit, or change the rules as they see fit and disqualify any contestants they deem ineligible for any reason.
Good luck and let the four core picking begin!
University of Kentucky (POWER)
University of Florida (SPEED)
University of North Carolina (BRAND/HARD TO BET AGAINST).
The Ohio State University (EASY OPPOSITION)
I need the Prime because while I understand full well the benefits of NVidia’s Tegra III (It’s Power, Speed, Brand, and the fact that it whips anything else currently available) the wife does not! The only way I can upgrade my old Transformer is for these four teams to come through!
Now let’s see how many people copy my final four…:)
My picks for the Final Four are Vermont, Norfolk, LIU Brooklyn and Detroit. I picked these because they are considered the least likely to make it to the final four. But if I didn’t believe in trying the long shot, I would not be entering into a giveaway contest, now would I!
Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt, UNC.
I really need a new tablet as i have tried everything I could think of to make my Archos 78 serviceable and have failed miserably. I use my Android addict and would love to have the speed and power of this bad boy!
1) Teams; Kentucky, Ohio State, North Carolina, Michigan State
2) Why should I win a Transformer Prime? To rectify the situation that I am a power Android user, yet have an iPad in my house. If I win this contest I can give my wife the iPad full time and have a nice, tidy unified Android lifestyle…for me at least.
I’m not going to lie here; I really know nothing about the NCAA teams this year, just haven’t had the opportunity to keep up with it all. So, with that being said I simply picked the teams I recall doing the best this season, and of course they are all 1 and 2 seeds. I guess the good quality here is I didn’t pick based on team uniforms…
I know nothing about basketball or sports in general, not my thing. So I just picked places where I use to live. Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Colo. Simple. Also, I should win because I have awesome hair like Chris. I should also win because of my awesome sportsball picking.
Leave a comment on this article that includes (1) IU (From Indiana) vs Michigan St (Always a threat) and Vanderbilt (upset) vs Georgetown (always fear them)
(2) As an iPad and iPad 2 owner, I have wished for the opportunity to own a Transformer Prime because I know it is the premier tablet running Android. I would love to actually own one.
Kentucky, Michigan St, Kansas, Ohio St.
i want the prime because ive been looking for a android tablet that can perform to my expectations.
1-Kentuky
2-North Carolina
3-Duke
4-Missouri
I should win the Transformer Prime because I’m a Phandroid-Adict and the only Geek that love sports :)
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they DOMINATE the painting zone in this NCAA edition.
Thanks guys for the joy!
1. Michigan state
2. Kentucky
3. UNC
4. Ohio State
I should win because I just stated a construction company and I need a tablet to do bids on. More importantly I need google latitude on it so I can track my foreman and make sure he is at the job and not padding his hours!
OSU (Go Buckeyes!), Kentucky, MSU, UNC (Go Tarheels!)
I need the Transformer Prime so I can get my wife off… her PlayBook (see what I did there). Even though the PlayBook was free, it can’t do half the stuff the Transformer Prime can do! ICS FTW!
need this :D
Kentuky,Duke,North Carolina,Missouri
I want it cos of its pure awesomeness!!!!!..amazing combo of display/power/graphics…
Duke, Ohio state, Kansas, Michigan State
So I can finally convince my misguided apple loving friends why Android is better
Kentucky (number one overall and a powerhouse), Missouri, Ohio St.(Size and strength), UNC (Everyone knows them, always a lock for the final 4)
I need a prime because I am surounded by Apple fans. All I hear everyday is how apple crushes every competitor and no one can compete. Now, with the new ipad (terrible name), they are all about the graphic apple used about being 4 times as powerful. I need something that can shut them up. Help me please!!
Teams: Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Missouri.
Reason. Sadly I was given a Blackberry Playbook for Chritstmas. While I have tried to appreciate the gift it has been truely difficult due to the lack of sufficient applications. Winning this amazing tablet would help me alleviate my problem and being a young adult I’m currently not a situation in which I can afford to purchase one either otherwise this very well would have happened.
Thanks.
1. Duke
2. Missouri
3. Wisconsin
4. UNC
I want a tablet for work because I have everything integrated with Google services. Also I hate apple and I need QUAD-CORE.
my teams are, first Kentuky ,North Carolina,Duke, Missouri
I want the prime beacuse this is the best tablet out there and im crazy to put my hands on it great graphics and fast, i prefer this one better than the new ipad its more powerfull and its awesome .
And my Team have Tegra 3 and 4 Core power!! its the best out there nobody can beat them!
Kentucky, FSU, UNC, Missouri.
I want to win a Prime to finally prove to all my Applle iPad loving friends that Google is actually better!
Kentucky, Florida State, Michigan State, North Carolina.
I could use the Prime because my 5 year old daughter dropped my Kindle Fire into a bathtub full of water. “But it was dirty.”
I totally googled for predictions because I don’t follow basketball, so I’ll go with Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Louisville, and Brigham Young. They all seem solid from what I’m reading, so here goes nothing!
I finally had the opportunity to lay hands on one of these beauties (The TF Prime) in Best Buy the other day. It’s thinner than an iPad and far more functional as a gaming and productivity device as far as I’m concerned, not to mention smokes it with its GPU, and I can’t wait to see Nvidia or a 3rd party disprove Apple’s claims surrounding the newest generation iPad. I would love to own one of these but can’t justify the funds this year since I’m getting married, moving, etc. I’d still take one over an iPad any day though; never seen Android run so beautifully; seeing really is believing! Even with the dock it’s like a macbook air, lighter even I’d wager. Combine it too with something like Splashtop or OnLive Desktop even and you have a viable PC too! Apple makes great devices for the masses, but I prefer the control and openness that comes with Android and this is why I think I’m worthy of this tablet. Thanks for the opportunity PhanDroid!
Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, Butler
I tried unsuccessfully to get a Transformer Prime for a while, always out of stock. It would be nice to give my gTablet (running Cyanogen 7) to the my kids.
My four teams are Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri, and Florida St.
I want the Prime because I’ve been wanting to switch from my iPad for quite some time now!
And all my teams have Tegra 3, because they use power, speed, and teamwork efficiently!
Kentucky
Ohio State
UNC
Michigan State
Why should I win? Because I have an HP TouchPad as an “Android” tablet :(
Well, I know absolutely nothing about basketball or sports in general, so these are pretty much wild guesses. (I also asked a friend for help.)
1. North Carolina
2. Syracuse
3. Kentucky
4. Kansas
I hear these teams are doing great. (So that’s exactly why I chose them.)
I should win the Prime because I could use it for developing in the future, well when I fully understand Java. :P
Michigan State, Syracuse, Kentucky, and North Carolina. They’re the best in their division and they know what it takes to win a championship. Syracuse is going to surprise everyone.
Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri
I should win the Prime because my daughter is growing up with an iPad, which makes me sick! She needs to be on the Android bandwagon. She is only 3, but still, I want her to experience the awesomeness that is Android and grow up with a great mobile OS! ;)
I would like a prime so i can learn more about college basketball, but since i dont know i wont win Anything :(
My teams: Kentucky, Gonzaga, Marquette, UNC
I should win the Transformer Prime because my family has
always dreamed of being a top tier family and having a top tier product with
NVIDIA inside will give us that symbol every family deserves at least once in their
lifetimes.
Being a top tier team is why I chose these four for the
semi-finals. They have the raw talent, speed, determination, and that unique
four-core plus the fifth companion to take it all the way.
Kentucky, Missouri, syracuse,UNC.
I need the power!
1. Kentucky, Florida State, UNC, Murray State.
2. I am a huge supporter of Asus products. I recommend their laptops and tablets to just about everyone I can. They have a habit of making high quality products and I support companies that do that and take care of their customers!Tie Breaker:Kentucky is the best team in college basket ball right nowFlorida State is the strongest team in the part of the bracket (they will beat UNC for a third time too when they meet in the Final 4)UNC is one of the highest scoring teams in college basketballMurrary State because Mich St and Mizzo are overrated and Murray St moves the ball well and plays great defense.
Looks nice hope I win.
1 Kentucky
2 Ohio
3 Missouri
4 Michigan
I should win because I would put the prize to good use. Tablets aren’t really my thing, but with the dock it will transform itself into a very productive piece of hardware.
These teams have four-core power because,….well I don’t have a clue about basketball teams and I bet that most avid-(Ph)Androids don’t have a clue. BUT, like the Tegra3 4(+1)core processor has proven itself in benchmarks time after time. It is statistically proven to be beyond awesome! I don’t know these teams, but I just used statistics myself and picked the teams that were chosen most often in the current replies. By using statistics I’ve also shown my appreciation for the time and effort NVIDIA put to investigate, build, test and sell such a wonderful processor.
p.s. Not a resident of the U.S., but I will have a valid U.S. address for shipping :)
Kentucky, Missouri, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
I want to win this because I have been holding out on a tablet for the best, and this is one of the best out there. Would use it for business, gaming, web browsing, and fun. Nothing beats a Tegra 3 tablet, especially one with a keyboard dock!
Kentucky has the Athleticism and Talent.
Missouri is lightning Quick and has great Shot Taking Ability.
Wisconsin has Toughness and great Defense
North Carolina has amazing Talent and great Offense
1. Kentucky
2. Ohio state
3. Missouri
4. North Carolina
The cons that I love android os and the design and hardware Asus created..
Four teams have terga 3 four-core power BC their offensive and defense are aggressive mix with talented coaching and also me and Obama agree on the same thing.
1. Michigan State. 2. Ohio State. 3. Kentucky. 4. North Carolina.
I deserve a Tegra3 beast like the Prime because I want to push it to the limits that no other tablet can be pushed to. Very similarly, these 4 teams I have selected have “Tegra Power” and will most likely test the limits of each team they face in this tourney, ultimately being superior… just like The Prime.
Final four: Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan St, and North Carolina.
A person would be an idiot not to want a Transformer Prime. I’m not that idiot.
Like the Transformer Prime, these four teams have power, speed, and teamwork.
1) Kentucky
2) UNC
3) Missouri
4) Syracuse
Why me? Everything i own is Google / Android, I refuse to get an Ipad and would love to have the best tablet out right now, one for productivity at work and for my own personal use.
I feel that the teams i chose have tegra 3 Four-Core power because:
1)kentucky is the power house
2)UNC its the Brand
3)Missouri is a Hustle team with plenty of speed
4) Syracuse has the team work and endurance.
Kentucky, Ohio State, Missouri, and North Carolina
I need the Prime to make all my friends jealous, especially my iWife!
To be honest, I haven’t watched any basketball in about 10 years. These are President Obama’s picks, and if anyone has the ability to rig the system it would be the president.
Kentucky, Ohio State, North Carolina, Michigan State
I want to win the Prime so I can show it off against all my friends who are getting the ipad3 today! They have no idea how awesome this device is, and I’d love to show ’em.
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they DOMINATE the painting zone in this NCAA edition.
1. Michigan state
2. Kentucky
3. UNC
4. Ohio State
I want a Transformer Prime because it’s the best android tablet, and its android (aka I can flash roms, which I do often).
The teams, well because history tells me so! I’d like to say UF, but they aren’t as strong this year.
Kentucky
Michigan State
North Carolina
Ohio State
What an awesome giveaway, I hope I win the Transformer Prime!!
Thanks!
My Picks:
-Kentucky
-Florida St
-Michigan St
-North Carolina
I would love to show up all of my android loving co-workers with the latest and greatest.
Kentucky. North Carolina. Florida State. Missouri.
All these teams can Run Run Run! I hope to win because I need to replace my Pentium 4 laptop!
Kentucky, Missouri, Florida State, UNC
I would be the luckiest person in the world to win one of these amazing Transformer Prime devices! I have been an NVIDIA user for many years and the GeForce 2 MX was the first discreet graphic card I purchased when I started building my own PCs. Even though that card is now antiquated, I remember being blown away with how good my games looked! Through the years I have continued my support of NVIDIA chipsets and have not been disappointed. I also have a Tegra 2 in my T-Mobile G-Slate, but unfortunately the device. I bought the device at a price premium off-contract when it first came out and am sorry to say it never took off. The Transformer Prime on the other hand is clearly a device that has mass appeal and will be supported for years to come! *drool*
Please make me your lucky winner!

Kentucky, Ohio St, UNC, MSU.
Why? Cause I love android. I love showing android off to friends. The transformer prime looks amazing. I could really REALLY use something lighter than my 12lb asus g73 to bring to class. but I’m a broke college student =(
Why did I pick these teams? Cause I don’t follow NCAA but I’ve heard of them before =)
Missouri
Kansas
Kentucky Florida St.
Android Strong since G1. Evolved my phone status with Galaxy Nexus. First tablet, Android Touchpad… I would put all 5 cores of Transformer Prime to work and give my touchpad to my little brother. Shane needs to be converted before he goes applefanboy…
Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Missouri
I should win one of the Primes because I’m a tech blogger who’s always on the go, and I need an Android tablet that can keep up. I also run my life (work and family) off of the Google ecosystem, especially Google Calendar, and having an Android tablet would help me optimize my life (and probably save me money) way better than an iPad could!
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they each have a feature that stands out, just like the Tegra has features that are head and shoulders above the competition, and they have a “core” that has carried the team through the season!!
Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Michigan State.
I would really like to win this for my fiancé. She just changed careers and could really use this Transformer Prime daily with work. The ability to visualize her designs with clients an manage all her email, calender appointments, to do lists, all synchronized with Google in the cloud makes this a winner for a business professional like her.
The four teams I picked are top ranked teams representing depth (extra cores), strength (processing power), speed (chip architecture), and perseverance (exceptional battery life management).
1. Michigan state2. Kentucky3. UNC4. Ohio State
I want a Transformer Prime because it’s the best android tablet out in the market no offense to galaxy tab 10.1 but the prime make all tablet look like window 95
These team have a explosive offences brick wall defense and it show, each stay in the playoff every year but im rooting for Kentucky all the way
Kentucky (Raw Power), Missouri (Battle Tested ), North Carolina (Legacy), and Syracuse (Perseverence).
Perseverence by Asus and the Transformer team to fix all of the bugs that always occur with a first version of something with incredible potential. I cannot wait to get one of these to experience the openness and flexibility of the ANDROID world and to really use NVidia’s Tegra III and all of its power.
my picks are: kentucky, memphis, kansas st, ohio.
i should win this cause i and my daughter both love our current non-prime transformers! we recently updated to the US ics update which totally rocks! the PRIME would be the ultimate next evolution for us.
kentucky = endurance & teamwork
memphis = speed & hustle
ohio = passion
kansas st = depth & passion
I choose:1.Kentucky2.North Carolina3.Florida St4.Michigan StI’ve been dieing to get my hands on one of these new tegra 3 devices, they are awesome!!! :-D
Kentucky
UNC
Missouri
Duke
I need this because I have a 7 inch tablet and a laptop, I need to fill the gap. Also I need to show opacity lovers the awesomeness of an open os.
NC, Kentucky, Ohio State & Michigan
My Windows laptop is dying a slow death. I just recently converted from an iPhone to the Galaxy Nexus, and now I am ready, with open arms, to replace my laptop with the Transformer Prime.
I’m looking forward to putting those four, powerful cores to the test (Games & HD movie streaming), and when I periodically let the Prime relax, I’ll let that sweet, little fifth core do it’s job.
1. North Carolina
2. Missouri
3. kentucky
4. syracuse
i should get the Transformer Prime because its awesome just like me!
ok, im not awesome. :-(
KU, VCU, FSU, and MSU
Four power houses, four power processors!
Also FSU wins it all
Kentucky, OSU, Missouri, and UNC.
I need this because with the new AIDE for android development, I could finally get rid of my laptop.
I think Kentucky is just too goo not to win it all, and the rest are good but are just good enough to round out the final four.
Kentucky , Kansas, Michigan State, Ohio State
I need a Transformer Prime to make it much easier for me to develop and test android applications. Also, I’m dieing to have a tablet that can play GTA III!
Kansas, Michigan State, Kentucky and Ohio State
I want to win the Prime so I can develop tablet optimized apps easier.
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they are fast.
Kentucky , Kansas, Michigan State, Ohio State
Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, Florida State.
I need the Prime b/c I’m in the market for a tablet and I’m trying to get my significant other away from that other brand that just released its new tablet today. Help me show her the better side.
Missouri, Kentucky, UNC, Ohio State.
I invented the piano key necktie! I deserve the Transformer.
Kentuky, Ohio State, North Carolina, Missouri
I can’t wait to put this in all my Apple/iPad fanboy friends faces, that’s why! :-)
UNC, Florida State, Marquette and Kentucky.
I need the Prime because currently I’m a student and my 2008 MBP just isn’t cutting at more for classes and can barely take an hours worth of notes. A Tegra III device would be killer and would help me stay up to date and focused in class.
NC, Kentuky, Missouri, Duke
I want this thing for my girlfriend. Her Thudnerbolt hasn’t been the greatest impression of Android for her. Also…I don’t know a single thing about the NCAA but my sports-loving family suggested these.
1. Kentucky – Power and size advantage – POWER
2. Syracuse – Interior defense and strength all season. – ENDURANCE,TEAMWORK
3. Missouri – Has great pace. – SPEED and HUSTLE
4. Kansas – Physical presence and solid scoring. -POWER
I have the original Transformer and have loved ASUS since. Getting the Prime with the benefits of NVidia’s Tegra III would be a great upgrade for me. Hope my boys pull through.
Kansas, Missouri, Michigan State, and Ohio
Those four teams have some great players and work hard … just like the four cores – its all about sharing the load.
I’d love to have one of these ASUS Transformers, my desktop computer at home and my laptop from work are still struggling with one core. I’d love to join the multi-core revolution and the 21st century.
Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Carolina
I need something to prove that Android is better than Ipad. The wife’s new Ipad should come in today and I will be without tablet to prove it!
Please let me win
Kentucky, missouri, north carolina, florida state. They all have tegra power and I need tegra power. So I should win
Missouri
Kentucky
UNC
Vanderbilt
I need the Prime for its speed and portability. Android has a bunch of my money on the market already; being able to utilize those apps on a larger screen would be amazing!
Michigan State, Kentucky, Kansas and Ohio State
I want the Prime because my ASUS eeePC is still running like a champ, but could certainly use an upgrade after 3 years of reliable service!
Duke, Syracuse, Michigan, Kansas. My old cylon electronic organizer is dying, and I need a replacement. Can’t just show up on the resurrection ship without the latest gadgets you know.
These teams represent the best in their regions….and they each have at least one hidden toaster on them.
1-Kentucky
2-Mizzou
3-FSU
4-UNC
It’d be an excellent upgrade to my iBook G3!
Why they have power…because they slept at a Holiday Inn Express!
KU, Kentucky, Syracuse, Louisville
I should win the Prime w/NVIDIA’s Tegra III because I’m a ‘prime’ candidate for enjoying all the features it entails.
The teams I chose all have power, great teamwork and vivdly colored uniforms. All the things that make the Transformer Prime (working with NVidia’s Tegra III as a great team) a must-have: Power, great teamwork and vivd colors.
Kentucky, Louisville, Wisconsin, Kansas.
I need the Prime because I’m in the market for a tablet. I haven’t bought one yet because I feel like Android tablets are about to make a breakout set of devices that will dominate the iPhad over time.
1.Kentucky 2. Kansas 3. North Carolina 4. Texas. Looking for an upgrade to the prime I already have the OG transformer and i know ASUS is on the ball with the latests updates. well 3 are the best in the country right now and of course i have to pick texas being a longhorns fan.
Kentucky, Michigan St, Kansas, Ohio St.
I think I should win a Transformer Prime so I can research these sports teams and learn about this Orangeball game. I may or may not have copied some one else’s teams… <.<
Kentucky, Marquette, Syracuse, and UNC. I’m pretty sure I don’t have any more use for the Transformer Prime than anyone else but would still love to have one!
I think it will be Florida State, UNC, Missouri, and Kentucky who will make the final 4.
I want a transformer prime because I love android products and their versatility. I unfortunately I can’t afford to buy one of these on my own so I have to keep entering these contests with the hope I will get lucky enough to win one! I really look forward to using it for everyday work in my Laboratory!!!
The teams I picked have 4 core power because they have speed, versatility, power, and the endurance to make it through the NCAA tournament, just like the tegra 3!!!
1-Kentuky2-North Carolina3-Duke4-Missouri
I should win the Transformer Prime because I want my buddy’s iPad’s Gorilla glass to crack with envy!
Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida State, Duke
I should win the Transformer Prime as I am a diehard Android fan. I have owned the HTC Incredible since the day it came out. I also turned my dad on to Android. I bought him the original transformer for Christmas when it came out. He now loyally uses the brand! I also travel a LOT (4+ months out of the year) and having a small, yet power efficient device, would be a real blessing.
The teams I’ve selected have the 4-core power because they are all monster teams… and yet they maintain a finesse and cool.. they know how to operate like the 5th companion core. In moments when delicate touch and just the right angle are needed, the 5th shines. And just like that, the 4 cores kick back in when their incredible, fast, power plays and dunking are needed.
1. Kentucky
2. Florida State
3. Michigan State
4. North Carolina
These teams all posses forms of power, speed and efficiency, just like the tegra 3. i think i should win because i have a girlfriend who i have been trying to convince of the awesomeness of android since the droid came out for verizon, and i think maybe the prime could finally do it, and get her away from all those apple products.
Also, i entered into as many of the Phandroid Holiday Contests as i could and never won, give me a break here!!!!
uk,ku,’cuse,michagan st
i believe i should win is because that i want one to give to my wife
1 Mich St 2 New Mexico 3 Marquette 4 Missouri
I should win the transformer prime because I will use it all the time and will truly appreciate its power. I have a rooted captivate and cant wait to have the power of android on a truly awesome processor. these teams simply dominate and have synergy they are just like the cores of the tegra 3
Nat’l Champion: North Carolina
Kentucky
Ohio State
Missouri
Would love to have an android tablet for budding computer tech business. And what better to have than the best tablet on the market.iPad just doesn’t cut it for me.
My 4 teams have what it takes to make it to the finals because all have superior talent and great team leaders. And the Tarheels have that experience and edge to win it all!
The final four will be;
Duke
Missouri
Syracuse
North Carolina
I need the Transformer PRIME because having a PRIME with dock will enable me to Androidify my daily world including ruling my meetings over the smug fruit users pulling out a slick PRIME unit with dock, ultimately catapulting me to CEO where I will dictate Transformer PRIME’s and ASUS products as the company standard :-)
1-Kentuky
2-North Carolina
3-Duke
4-Missouri
1 MichIgan State 2 New Mexico 3 Marquette 4 Missouri
I should win the prime because i am rocking an OG droid and have pushed it to it’s full capabilities, i can’t wait to have a tablet with amazing power right out of the box, and i can see myself using it still in 5 years time. The prime will truly boost productivity and make daily life way better!
the teams’ members all work together like the cores of the tegra III work together to make the prime a beast of a machine! this synergy creates a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts!
Final Four: Kentucky, Cincy, Michigan State, North Carolina
I should win the T-prime because I need to replace my netbook with a device with some power and the Tegra 3 delivers that power. My teams have been selected because they all have dominated this season, Cincy is my sleeper pick as well.
Kentucky, Mizzou, Florida St, Kansas
The Prime would be my transition from tablet to ultrabook. It’s just as light as an ultrabook and flexible as a tablet. The Tegra power gives it the edge and edginess I want. Plus I love Asus products.
UK, Missouri, UNC, and OSU.
I wanted the Prime because its still better than the new iPad.
Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio State, UNC – It would be nice to win something – especially something as cool as the Transformer
I’d love to win this thing! I could use it at work, on trips, for just about everything!
Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Carolina
Want the prime to develop my new basketball application. Would love to get into the depths of the Tegra III to have a beautiful fast differentiated app.
My teams have all the same characteristics of the prime – power, speed and killer specs (much better than the competition)!!
Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan St., Ohio St.
I should win the Prime because I need a tablet for grad school. I need a device that can do multiple book reader platforms (Kindle, nook, Google, Kobo, Logos, etc) all from a single device.
I think these teams because a sampling of expert predictions seems to validate these choices. Kentucky and Kansas appear to be the shoe-ins with the remaining two teams up for debate but MI and Ohio seem to have some momentum behind them.
1. UNC 2. Duke 3. Florida St. 4. Louisville
I would LOVE a Prime because its the ultimate machine for my needs. Web browsing and games around the house, writing papers for school, keeping in touch with friends on the go. Its what the new iPad wish it could be.
Kentucky – Speed and youth
Michigan St – Competition against them falls short in terms of overall abilityUNC – Great coaching and balanceCincinnati – Power with a good defense I think I should win because I am the smalller fifth core. I may not be in any tournaments or play in any large sports but I do love my android device, and I’ve been wanting a tablet out there that’s fresh, different, and can handle some of the games and apps I play.I want my first tablet to be a great experience.
1. Kentucky – Power and size advantage – POWER
2. Syracuse – Interior defense and strength all
season. – ENDURANCE,TEAMWORK
3. Missouri – Has great pace. – SPEED and HUSTLE
4. Kansas – Physical presence and solid scoring. –
POWER
I would love to have a tablet especially the
ASUS since. Getting the Prime with the benefits of
NVidia’s Tegra III would be a great upgrade for
me. Thank you so much Frank
1-Kentuky
2-North Carolina

4-Missouri
I should win the Transformer Prime because I didn’t wait in line at Walmart for the new iPad and I love the Android OS. I am also a fan of nVidia and I would like to experience the Tegra 3! I wanna see those benchmarks that Apple seem to claim the A5X is more powerful than the Tegra 3.
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because only the quickest, efficient, and powerful teams make it to the final four which is what the Tegra 3 is built upon!
Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio State
I need a prime because Asus products are dead on balls reliable, NVidia graphics are always outstanding, and so I can give all the apple fan boys the one finger salute and tell the to bite me because I can customize MY tablet to how I like it and then watch a flash video as the look on in a jealous rage
It goes….. “And now….. for yoUR FINAL 4……OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, GOOD OLE NORTH CAROLINA……… MARQUETTETTTTTT…… AND THE BOURBON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD…… KENTUCKY!!!! That’s how I imagined it happening but we will have to see. They represent the Tegra Quad Core Power due to their amazing and awesomely and don’t forget amazingly coincidental usage of the number 4. Also they all have a lot of power I don’t think Marquette has required GHZ to win but its a long shot.
Also I just got married and I am broke… and my tech fund only allows for one $.99 app a month.
Kentucky, Wisconsin, Marquette and UNC.
I should get the Prime because I’m so better than everyone else at picking the final four than I apparently don’t even need to answer the tie breaking questions.
Kentucky, Marquette, Ohio State, and North Carolina.
I want the Prime because I’m looking to upgrade my 4 year old laptop, and I know this will pretty much replace it. The Prime is by far the best Android tablet out there, and in my opinion, much better than the Ipad…and the docking station sets it in a class of its own.
The reason I chose these four teams is I believe they all have endurance, depth, and teamwork. Those teams each have their stars, but they don’t win, do not get to the NVIDIAs Four Core unless they have the everyone else on the team pulling their weight and supporting their star.
Kentuky
North Carolina
Detroit
Missouri
My teams – Kentucky, UNC, Mizzou, and Vandy.
I should win the Transformer Prime since I have been holding out for an affordable table. And what’s more affordable than free? I also refuse to buy into the iPad hype, and won’t even consider owning one – even if I got a free one, I’d just sell it.
Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan
I should win the prime because I will use it to solve world hunger (or just order me a pizza).
The four teams have Tegra III Quad Core power because they are the last four… I know nothing about these teams, I just copied someone elses.
Kentucky – Florida St – Michigan St – Kansas
My wife is pregnant and getting super clingy. I need something to play with while I’m sitting on the couch next her her. Please don’t make me watch more re-runs of Gilmore Girls!
Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Carolina
Prime would be my first tablet. Can’t wait :)
Kentucky, Florida State, Kansas, and Michigan State
1) My Final 4 teams are: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, UNC (University of North Carolina
2) I’d like to win one of the Transformer Primes because it sounds like an amazing piece of technology and I can put my 8 year old laptop to rest. Then I can get clean, smooth, and fast game play and video streaming! And longer than 3 hour battery life! I picked Kentucky because they’ve been the best all season & I don’t see any team beating them until the Final 4, Vanderbilt because they don’t have any real strong teams on the way to the Final 4, Michigan State because they should be better that Missouri, and UNC because they’ve gotten better & better throughout the last 2 months and they should have all of their players healthy.
Four Teams: Wisconsin (Here’s to hoping), Kansas, Marquette, and Baylor.
I want the tablet because its better than any android device that I or anybody else have. I like being the best!
Michigan State
Kansas
Kentucky
Ohio St.
I would love to win a tablet because of my budget they have always been out of reach to me and this will probably be the best shot of me getting one. So, here’s to the underdog (me) hoping I come out on top
Kentuky,Duke,North Carolina,Missouri
1. UNC 2. Duke 3. Florida St. 4. Louisville
Because my hands are too big to play Draw Something on my phone..
Kentucky – Michigan St. – Florida St. – Kansas
Like the 4 teams that I think will be in New Orleans on March 31st, the NVIDID brings to the table Endurance, depth, and teamwork. With the Transformer Prime being the overall winner, like I expect Florida St. to be.
Kentuky, North Carolina, Duke, Missouri, because they are awesome. Almost as awesome as my coding skills. I’ve been working on some ICS tablet/phone apps to fill the android tablet app gap. This would help.
1-Kentuky2-North Carolina3-Duke4-Missouri
I should win the Transformer Prime because I need a good tablet!
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they show multiple talents in rebounding, passing, shooting, and stealing.
1. Kentuky
2. Duke
3. North Carolina
4. Missouri
I should win it because I’ve been desiring since its initial release! And because I am an android/phandroid addict ;)
The teams I chose have Tegra 3 four-core power because the currently own the painting zone!
michigan state,
North carolina
missouri
kansas
I think I should win because today is my bday and I need something awesome for my bday.. haha I had the first Android phone (G1) and what I think was the first Android Tablet (Archos 5). Now I have the best phone available (E4GT) and want the best tablet tablet out. You know, so I’m well-rounded.. haha
Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio State, Kansas
I want/need the Prime because I am all in with Android and this is the tablet that I need to take that dedication to the next level. Fast. Powerful and Sexy. Throw in the dock and I challenge you to find a better combination.
All the teams have the same qualities as the prime, which is why picked them.
Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri. I need a slick mobile power user device. I can’t live without the keyboard but I can’t carry around a briefcase either. Prime is perfect! My teams have Tegra power because they drain the threes!
Kentucky, Missouri, Florida State, Kansas.
I could use the prime because the only computer I own is 6 years old, and is limping along these days. So this could replace my sad 6 year old desktop.
Clearly all these teams have passion for the game, or they wouldn’t be in the final 4. All have great depth, teamwork, and speed. Hustle is something that would also lead them to the final 4.
Kentucky (Pure power and talent), New Mexico (Smothering defense and sheer determination), Vanderbilt (All around stability), Kansas (Power and talent)
I would love a Transformer Prime so I can carry around the blazing Tegra III goodness wherever I go. I would tehn be able to give my OG Transformer to my wife so she can dumb the PlayBook she got and come to the GOOD side! :)
Easy enough: Kentucky, Missouri, Florida State and North Carolina
My final four are:
-N Carolina
-Kentucky
-Ohio State
-Murray St.
I want to win one of these tablets for my sister because she’s been dying to get one. And I want to show her that Android tablets are just as good as iPads.
Duke, Vandy, Mizzou, and Bama.
I need this Tegra 3 device to stream sports for the rest of the year on ESPN 3.
I’m going with Kentucky vs. Michigan State and Ohio State vs. Kansas. I should win the transformer prime to take over for my aging (5 year old) desktop that I use for everything. I built it myself 5 years ago and while it still runs great, it is getting a bit tired. I only paid $450 for everything, including a flat screen monitor, so it’s not like I have a top of the line machine! The power of the Tegra 3 in an awesome tablet would be a great replacement!
University of Kentucky
University of Missouri, Columbia
Ohio State University
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
I should win because these are the same picks that our President made and I bet he has the power to influence the outcome, doesn’t he?
Kentucky
North Carolina
Duke
Missouri
Well I believe I should win because I don’t have a phone upgrade for over a year and I have the DroidX. Don’t get me wrong because I love my X but it is limited in it’s abilities and if I want the Nvidia gaming awesome I would have to wait =( I am a gamer and I love working/playing with android! I also need a laptop and this would be sick haha. I only have my phone and desktop.
Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Syracuse
I’ve been jonesing for an ASUS Transformer Prime with the Tegra3 processor because of how it would transform my life, as far as computing goes. Entertainment and even productivity (possibly a complete laptop replacement) will be possible in completely new ways. I travel a lot for my work, as well as pursue my studies, and the Transformer would be sooooo sweet to have for all of these activities. My laptop’s on it’s last legs, so this would come in so very handy. Please pick me!
Kentucky, Marquette, Florida State and Kanses
For the companion core team I will take North Carolina.
Im desperate for this Prime!
Kentucky, Kansas State, Murray State, UNC.I should win the Transformer Prime because I want to get active in ICS development. All of my devices have a hacked ICS on them, and I want to be able to start with something with an official build. I want to also try to work on other development of the tablet, such as working IDE integration through something like a ubuntu chroot.I think it’s hard to say how these four powerhouses can work together because they all want to strive to be the number one, we can almost say they want to be the 5th core! Anyway let’s see what Murray can do because it’s always fun to see a small school kick rocks with the big boys.
KentukyDuke
North Carolina
Missouri
I want to win because as much as I love my HP tablet not having Android and all of its amazing features makes using it hard. No swype keyboard, none of the good apps, no Google Music, etc.
1. Kentucky
2. UNC
3. Michigan State
4. North Carolina
A. Why I should win the Asus Transformer Prime……Because I need to experience the true power of the
NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processors , Because I love Asus products and because i’m a gamer and want a device that has and infinite number of capabilities.
B. Why these teams have the Tegra 3 Four-Core power (for the tiebreaker), to be fair I know squat about college basketball…but because I love technology and innovation
im going to try anyway. Is because these teams have great teamwork as Tegra 3, also unimaginable stamina as Tegra 3, but in the end the team with more passion and love for the game will prevail as Tegra 3.
Kentucky, Ohio State, Marquette, Kansas
I want this tablet because the Tegra 3 technology will blow that ipad out of the water and I want to show it off.
I think my teams show the continuity that the Tegra 3 shows and that’s why they will make it to the Final Four.
Kentucky, Michigan State, Syracuse, North Carolina
I am a poor student, I spend all my time studying and volunteering. I have no time to fit work into my hectic schedule so the money to buy a much desired Asus Transformer is nonexistent. I am however an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Student who would look forward to developing apps for ice cream sandwich tablets.
North Carolina, Syracuse, Kentucky, Memphis!
I should win a Transformer Prime so I can rub it in Engadgets (Apple Fanbois) face, also so I can teach my 7 year old daughter how to use a tablet :)
Tegra 3; All four teams have been sinking those 3pts! Quad Core; The 4 strongest always finish at the top! <— Exact correlation between Tegra 3 and the 4 Finalist's
Kentucky, Mizzou, UNC, Florida State
These teams have 4 core power because they all have 1) a superstar player 2) a killer supporting cast 3) a Coach that knows how to win and 4) a 4th/5th core fan base that will stop at nothing to see them win.
I don’t think I should win the Prime any more then the rest of these fine people. I figure if I keep entering these contests I gotta win one eventually……right?
Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan, and Ohio these teams all have the Tegra 3 Four-Core power plus a fifth core, fans of the game, to offer additional support.
I deserve to win the prime because I am too ill equipped in the finance department to be able to afford one. I have been entering contests left and right in an attempt to win one, all the while boasting to my ipad loving sister how much more powerful it is with out having the proof in hand to show her. I have been a huge android fan ever since I first played with my G1, and I think that Asus and NVidia have produced a monster of a tablet that truly shows what android can do.
I hope you realize Michigan and Ohio can’t both be in the final four since they play each other the first round. You may have a chance to change this.
kentucky, kansas, missouri, ohio st.
I would like a transformer prime to prove to all my apple-intoxicated friends that there are better alternatives.
Kentucky, Ohio St, Missouri, UNC
Wow the deadline was like an hour. I want to win b/c i love Android and March Madness and Phandroid. My bracket is all screwed up already. I have to win something.
Kentucky, Florida State, Missouri, and UNC.
Recently bought an Android phone over an iPhone, and I’m hooked. Gotta upgrade this old MacBook and I think the Prime would be perfect :) Also, those four teams are making it because I picked them (And Dick Vitale did too :P).
Kentucky, Marquette, Florida State, Kansas
These teams all have 4 core power – New talent that pushes the limits of the opposition, speed and efficiency, enough smarts and power to slow things down to their own pace, allowing them to save energy and control the game…and finally, the guts to be a champion which allows them to handle anything you can throw at ’em.
Michigan, Ohio, Kansas and Marquette. They will win because they are my favorite.! lol.
I hope that I get this Tab because everything i do (my job, hobbies, interests) require a tab like this. Powerful, Fast, Durable, Easy to use [love the dock] and a beast of a machine, that is at the same time not bulky. LOVE IT, WANT IT!!!
I hope you realize Michigan and Ohio can’t both be in the final four since they play each other the first round. You may have a chance to change this. Go Blue!!!
Kentucky
UNC
Missouri
Duke
I want this to finally prove to my wife she doesn’t need an ipad.
1] Kentuky
2] North Carolina
3] Syracuse
4] Michigan State
These CORE FOUR teams will make it to the final four because they are successful at inTEGRAting 4 plus 1 players together and play well as a team, and they play with POWER in the paint.
I believe I should win because I am an Android and sports guru. I’m frequently check the phandroid.com and espn.com pages for news and updates.
Thanks! :D
Kentuky,Duke,North Carolina,Missouri
Love this tablet. Ultimate work machine for someone who needs something lightweight, portable, and capable.
Indiana, Michigan State, Florida State, and UNC
I would love to win a Transformer Prime because I had the original Transformer. I loved the quality and software execution. I would love to put the Prime’s power to work for my college workload.
I selected the teams that I did for different reasons. Michigan State and UNC are the true powerhouses of this year’s tournament. I think both FSU and Indiana will surprise the nation by withstanding the competition. Besides, who doesn’t love a good upset? [The rhetorical response would be someone who just bought a tablet.]
Florida, NC, Kentucky, & usf?
i need one because i don’t have one.
Did i win?
Kentucky – Syracuse – Temple – Florida
I need a prime. My single core Flyer is lonely and collecting dust while living secluded in a pleather ebay case. Time to step up the game. I need a Prime. Bottom line. Count me in.
kentucky, kansas, missouri, ohio st.
I have been trying to find one of these things in stock at Best Buy for months with no luck. I would love to win one so that I don’t have to keep borrowing my wife’s iPad (a house divided) :(
These teams have four core power that will easily shame the competition. Just like the Prime shames its competition!
Duke Kansas
North Carolina
Missouri
I need this amazing tablet to take the place of my old laptop computer. Oh and these teams have Tegra 3 power cause they own the 3 pointers! See? Tegra 3? 3 Pointers? Makes sense
Kentucky
Syracuse
Missouri
North Carolina
I dont even watch college basketball. I’m a computer tech who having the same downfalls as everyone else becoming unemployeed here at the LBUSD district. So anything given to me at this point would be a blessing. Take care and may god bless you.
1) Syracuse
2) Missouri
3) Kentucky
4) Kansas
I picked Syracuse because they are my hometown heros!
Missouri because I have a good friend from there.
Kentucky because they are a damn good team.
And Kansas because tornado country needs a win!
Syracuse will prevail because the core has heart…just like the Tegra 3 is the heart of the Prime.
I need the Transformer prime because I am all about the Android!
Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, Missouri.
I’m a college student and I’m saving up for a car and can’t spend money on a TF Prime even though I’d love one. (I can’t even afford a contract phone. I have a Triumph through virgin mobile)
Kentucky and North Carolina will be two of the cores because their brackets are unbelievably easy and I doubt anyone in their respective brackets can touch them.
I’m picking Ohio over Syracuse because Syracuse doesn’t have the drive (as they showed yesterday) and will probably end up losing soon. Also Ohio has looked strong all season, so they’ll be the third core.
Missouri is a team that I feel is under rated and many people don’t expect them. They play strong, and come to win, giving them the spot of the fourth core.
Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, North Carolina
I NEED a Transformer Prime because I am a stay at home Dad & a huge Android fanboy. I also have Cystic Fibrosis and the Transformer Prime would really help me manage my medications & my health records.
I picked the 4 teams I picked because like the Tranformer Prime, my Tegra 3 four-core teams have the best overall chances to win this year!
Kentucky, Missouri, Syracuse, and Kansas.
This way I can get pure ICS rather than the sense on my HTC phone. (I do love HTC sense but only in the HTC One)
kentucky,

Because these teams are the most powerful in the league.

This is very exciting! The original Transformer tablet was amazingly awesome, but this new Transformer Prime is looking like it’s going to blow the old model out of the water. So much power in such a thin device. Love it!
Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio State, North Carolina
I would like to own a tablet and I would like it to be the best available. So winning the Transformer would be awesome. Plus I just saw the commercial for the new Asus Zenbook and any one who gets support from the Zen Master Phil Jackson, deserves my respect. Props Asus….
Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio State, and UNC
I would love to have a transformer prime to represent Android in the tablet world. In a world of iPad owners, I want to show them how awesome the Transformer Prime is!
Kentucky absolutely represent the teamwork aspect of the Four Cores. With their defense centered around Anthony Davis the team works in perfect synchronization optimizing their energy output and holding opposing teams to 63.5 points per game.
Missouri is the epitome of speed and a well organized attack. They score 80 points a game with a 50% shooting percentage. They accomplish this by working together and sharing the ball unselfishly.
Ohio State and UNC both have an amazing passion for the game. They both absolutely battled it out against rival teams, playing to the very last breath and pulling out key victories in the regular season. These two teams refuse to lose and although all these teams have great teamwork and speed, these two teams have a true passion for the game which gives them the “fifth core” edge in the tournament.
Kentucky, Ohio, Duke, Missouri
I need this because my girlfriend just got an iPad 3 and I need to show her why it blows! And I promise to play Shadowgun and Modern Combat 3 on it!!
Kentucky, FSU, Kansas, Mich state
Kentucky, OSU, Missouri, and UNC. I don’t know anything about college basketball but I know the Tegra 3 is the quickest, most efficent and powerful mobile processor out right now.
If I had a Transformer Prime I would use it show up all the iSheep in my office with it’s sexy looks and ICS goodness!
Kentucky, Missouri, FSU, UNC.
I need to win this Transformer Prime because my wife won’t let me buy one. The Prime is like those teams because I’ve spent way too much of my time reading about how great they are.
Kansas State, Kentucky, Ohio State, Missouri
I want a Transformer Prime because it’s the best tablet out hands down.
Ohio St, Syracuse, UK, and Baylor
A transformer prime makes is an excellent device for remote log ins and VNC to the office when on the road and tethered to my phone. The keyboard dock always me to operate a Windows environment much closer to its mouse/keyboard state without the addition of loose Bluetooth keyboards and mouse and without sacrificing ease of use or battery life.
Its the final four with the hope of making it one last game(fifth). just like the Tegra3.
Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Syracuse
First Quad-Core device Tablet. oops sorry, it must be Fifth Companion cores device. And it is good to know and good to have ASUS Transformer Prime with this latest technology. NVIDIA always impress us.
Kentucky, Missouri, FSU, UNC.
I know that the transformer prime is the best tablet out on the market. Its a netbook AND a tablet all in one!
Kentucky, Ohio State, Missouri, and Kansas. I should win the Transformer Prime because of all the hard work I do during the school year (Pharmacy school). I think I deserve a little prize!
Kentucy, Ohio St, Missouri, UNC.
I should win a Transformer Prime because I could put iSheep at work in his place. You have not idea, or maybe you do, how annoying it gets when he starts praising apple and everything apple shits out.
Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, Missouri.
I should win the Prime with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 because I never had a tablet before and I think the Andriod tablets are the best to get.
The teams I chose are the best 4 and the Tegra 3 uses the best four a9 processors.
The 2012 Final Four, will be:
1) Ohio State Buckeyes (5 to 1)
2) North Carolina Tar Heels (6 to 1)
3) Kentucky Wildcats (9 to 4)
4) Missouri Tigers (9 to 1)
*I* should win, because I probably won’t win, and because I have never won anything in my life(!), and the tie-breaker reason why the teams I selected have Tegra 3 four-core power, is that it took 4-cores to compute the actual sportsbook betting odds for the above top teams in under 1.21 jiggawattmicroseconds! :-)
Kentucky, Michigan St, Kansas, Ohio St.
I should win the Prime with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 because using Nook as a tablet is a horrible experience.
The teams I chose are the best 4 and the Tegra 3 uses the best four a9 processors.

Michigan State, Kansas, and Ohio StateFavorite four
The prime is a awesome combination of both tablet and computer.
1. Ohio
2. Kentucky
3. Missouri
4. Kansas
Winning this Transformer Prime would be a sign that my luck is changing. Just like basketball, every once in a while the underdogs luck changes and moral is reclaimed. I’m this underdog and I am in desperate need of some good luck right now.
Kentucky, Florida St., Missouri, North Carolina
This tablet would be for my Dad. Possibly for Father’s Day. He’s worked hard all his life, providing for a family of 5, and has always avoided technology but he recently got his first Android phone and now he’s officially joined the “club”. He LOVES his phone and now he’s asking about tablets and what they can do…so this would be the perfect gift to say “thank you” for all the years he took care of our family.
Tegra 3 – Power, Performance, Speed/Hustle (the X-Factor)…
Kentucky’s “Tegra 3” – Anthony Davis, Doron Lamb, Marquis Teague
Florida St.’s “Tegra 3” – Bernard James, Michael Snaer, Deividas Dulkys
Missouri’s “Tegra 3” – Ricardo Ratliff, Marcus Denmon, Michael Dixon
North Carolina’s “Tegra 3” – Tyler Zeller, Harrison Barnes, Coach Roy Williams
PS. If you’re wondering why not Ohio St. instead of Florida St., please ask Duke and North Carolina.

I really want a Transformer prime because it is the ideal device for be being a Graphic Artist. I want a laptop that is light weight that I can take around with me, but at the same time I want a tablet that I can sit down on a chair and draw on with my capacitive pen. The NVidia’s Tegra III is perfect to give me a full balance of power, speed, and graphics processor power to allow me to play the high end games and draw on multiple layers in AutoDesk Sketchbook Pro.
I choose my teams because they are my favorite teams when I watch this every year. Whether they are ranked high to when is regardless of the fact, because for me it is team spirit. :)

These teams clearly have 4 cores to them not only that but the have championship experience!!!
I believe I should win not only because I hate everything about BIOS and have been a Phandroid reader for about 4 years And I can show all my android haters the best tablet/laptop around the block!!!
1. Kentucky
2. Mich St.
3. Florida St.

I want to win because the transformer prime is the best out just like these four teams will be!;) I have been wanting the prime since it came out, beautiful device!

I should wind the Transformer Prime because I have 3 little mouths to feed and don’t have the extra dough to buy this awesome beast but could REALLY use it for work and school! Please!!!! My 4 teams have 4 core power because they’re known as the pinnacle of their field just like nvidia.

I should win because i am currently trying to become a superhero…I do not have any super powers, but that isnt necessary in actually becoming a superhero ie Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark. But the one thing both Batman and Iron man have is cutting edge technology.And if i were to win one of these Transformer Primes, then i would have cutting edge tech as well and be well on my way to stopping super villains.
the final four are:
1. Kentucky
2. Syracuse
3. Missouri
4. North Carolina
i should win the ASUS Transformer Prime because i,m a gadget addict and i don’t have money to buy one
these four teams have Tegra 3 Four-Core power for the tiebreaker because they have the best speed, endurance, teamwork and passion.
Kentucky
Michigan St
Ohio St
North Carolina
I would love to win an Asus Transformer Prime because – with it’s Tegra 3 Quad Core processor – it’s currently the best tablet on the market, and it’s also one of the best netbooks available – making it a killer device to own! Plus the Prime would look great sitting next to my Galaxy Nexus, and I would love to show it off to all my friends and co-workers!
The Four Core teams I’ve chosen have shown excellent speed and agility, along with the unique ability to seamlessly work together as a team – just like the Quad Core processor of a Tegra 3!.
Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Ohio
I should win the Transformer Prime because right now I’m using an iPad on loan and it is so annoying to use. I need a real tablet, an Android tablet, to show Apple how this is done.For the tie breaker: These four teams have the perfect combination of speed, efficiency, and passion, so they are destined to win.
1:Duke
2:North Carolina:
3:Kentucky
4:Michigan St
These teams clearly run on all 4 cores and have championship experience.I should win because i’m allergic to real apples and the plastic material kind ;)
UK, SYR, MEM, UNC
I would love for my school to make it “Kansas State University” but to push back the tears receiving the prime would be an excellent consolation prize.
And i can’t really say much for the teams but google recommended these teams, and as i love the offerings of google i will go with what they say …
Michigan State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida State.
I want the Transformer Prime because it is THE BEST Android Tab out there and I want the best. The Tegra 3 makes me so hot that I need to eat some Ice Cream Sandwiches to cool down ;)
Michigan and North Carolina, their core (mind the pun) team have experienced loss over the seas but they have come back together as a stronger unit and thus have learned from it. Kentucky is just a natural power house, legitimately raw power that is great at multitasking during the game, charging ahead to another victory. Florida state is an underdog team, just like Android tablets, and currently they’re rising up to meet the challenge. They are showing that they do have the skills with the national powers and furthermore, beat them just like Android tablets will over power iPad’s easily.
Kentucky, Missouri, UNC, and Ohio State
I should win because I know nothing about basketball, but still nailed this!
Kentucky, Ohio St, Georgetown, and Michigan St.
I should win the ASUS Transformer Prime (assuming my selections pan out) because I enjoy technology more than the average phandroid phan and am always showing off my tech devices to friends.
My tiebreaker response is that Kentucky and Michigan St have the speed/hustle, Georgetown has the endurance/depth/teamwork, and Ohio St has the most passion. Put these qualities together, and you either have one heck of a final four, or you have an amazing Android tablet.
North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State!
I’d like to win because I love android! Nothing better than options and freedom!!!! Go America!
1. UNC
2. Kentucky
3. Vanderbilt
4. Florida
I should win because I would love to upgrade from Tegra 2’s (phone + tablet). My 4 teams have the Four-Core power because they can step up and lay it all on the line when needed. You can always rely on these teams giving 100% effort…just like a Tegra!….plus a lot of the other entries have teams from the same bracket in the final 4…not even possible!
Kentucky, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Kansas.
I should win the Transformer Prime b/c I am a big fan of Android and have been waiting a long time to select the perfect tablet as my first tablet ever. I believe the transformer prime is just that.
My teams have the Tegra 3 four-core power because they are fast, athletic teams with plenty of endurance. And if they reach the semifinals they will prove that they have the teamwork and passion matching that of the Transformer Prime.
My predictions: Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan State! These teams have been working hard all season and I know one of them has to take it! I should win the Transformer Prime because I have been an Android fan since the original Droid and live/breathe Android goodness. I do not yet have a tablet and would love this to be my first! Thanks!
1.) North carolina
2.) Wisconsin
3.) Kentucky
4.) Missouri
Now the hard part. I did win because I am trying to finish my college career and my hp laptop died and I never win lol. And it took the 4 cores of my brain to do this.
Michigan State, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State
And I am the best android evangelist that I know – I own a galaxy nexus and always try and get people to convert from the iphone. I will continue this with my tablet domination, running around town showing off my tablet in a variety of sexy situations, each more entertaining than the last, until all of the world descends into one transformer prime buying frenzy that lasts from tomorrow until the day before the end of time.
Kentucky – Ohio State – Duke – SyracuseThe reason I would love to have this is that I really want to break away from my iOS side, i traded my iphone 4 for a Samsung Skyrocket, and now I need to get rid of my Ipad 2 and get in love with ICS on the Transformer prime also i think they made up that junk about the A5X is more powerful than the Tegra 3.
Teams: Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio State
If I win I would use my Transformer to stop the Decepticons and save the world!
More than meets the eye!
Robots in disguise!
The top four will be:
Kentucky
Missouri
North Carolina
Kansas
I should win the Transformer Prime because I love the design and idea of the keyboard dock. Also, it is way better than the iPad.
The four teams have Tegra III Quad Core power because…
The 2012 Final Four:
1) Missouri Tigers 2) North Carolina Tar Heels 3) Kentucky Wildcats4)
Ohio State Buckeyes
Ive never owned a tablet….Im a new android user, hate apple products…so I think if I were to win this I would get the best android tablet there is! and its my birthday so pleeeeeeeease!
I think the final four will be UNC, Syracuse, Missouri and Kentucky.
I think I should receive the Prime because, I have been a long supporter of Asus products, and I would like to upgrade my sister from the awful IPad she currently owns, to the glory that is Asus and the Prime!
1) Final Four: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, North Carolina
2) I’d love to enjoy the best tablet out there in the Transformer Prime. It’s got the best horse power with a quad core technology, the dock is a great accessory to help with long emails/chats, the gaming experience can’t be topped, and then having ICS on this beautiful piece of hardware is just magical. I’d really appreciate and thoroughly enjoy a Transformer Prime! I love Android/Google =)
1.) My final four teams are: University of North Carolina , Kentucky, Missouri, Syracuse
I would love to win an Asus Transformer Prime! I think it would be so beneficial with me going back to grad school especially with the keyboard.. I would use it at lunch and at work.. It would replace my old bulky 15.6″ laptop for my everyday activities.. I would love to buy one, but I’m saving up for school at the moment.
My four teams have Tegra 3 four core power because they are smart, fast and endurance..
Duke, Missouri, Syracuse, and Michigan
I should win because I love all Android devices and The Transformer Prime is pure Android love.
The four teams I chose represent how I feel about the Tegra 3. Duke – fast, Missouri – efficiency, Syracuse – aggressive, and Michigan – love (I love my Wolverines no matter how they do). I love a chip that is fast, efficient, and aggressive like the Tegra 3.
My final four teams all exhibit characteristics of the Tegra 3
1) Kentucky – speed and hustle2) North Carolina – endurance, depth, and teamwork3) Marquette – passion4) Wisconsin – a deep benchAs a proud owner of an ASUS EEE Transformer, I can say it is the best tablet on the market (I have 3 others including an iPad2). I can’t wait to see what ASUS has done with the Transformer Prime with Tegra 3 power and a great slick look.
2012 March Madness Final Four:
1. Kentucky
2. Murray St.
3. Florida St.
4. UNC
The Transformer Prime is a showcase of the latest and best technology in Android 4.0 and the NVIDIA 3 Quad-Core processor, much like the Final Four in March Madness. All teams bring unique characteristics individually, but together provide an unmatched experience, much like the Transformer Prime.
#imaphanofphandroid
Final four:
Baylor
Michigan St.
Ohio St.
Temple
Temple, Tegra. They share 2 letters. Must be sign. A sign I should win this amazing tablet. I picked the other teams because you can find the remaining letters of Tegra sprinkled throughout. Except G. I don’t know what happened to that little guy. Oh wait, there he is, hiding in the middle of Michigan. We’re good.
kentucky,the Ohio State,Syracuse,Duke
1. North Carolina
2. Missouri
3.Syracuse
4. Kentucky
I need to win so I can definitively prove there are better Android tablets than iPads
My teams are:
1) Kentucky
2) Marquette
3) Kansas
4) Ohio State
I need it because I don’t have any four-core device, not even in a desktop (rockin’ a shared Pentium 4). I need four-core power to help rectify my life; I could learn stuff faster, organize better, and I wouldn’t have to rely on finicky, slow devices to do daily activities such as communication.
I believe these teams will win because they’re successful with their past experiences and with a little luck they’ll be winners.
1 – Wisconsin
2- Kentucky
3 – Indiana
4- Ohio
I hope to win because now I am here in the US for 1 year exchange program and instead of buying new devices as I planned I spent them all on traveling. And as an Android developer, one prime would be very handful.
I’m not even going to try. I don’t understand sports very well. :P
1. Ohio State
2. North Carolina
3. Kentucky
4. Michigan State
I want the Transformer Prime because of the true-multitasking, an open developer community and the limitless customization (widgets). The Tegra 3 power and efficiency have left me lusting for a Prime to compliment my Galaxy Nexus. I have not been with the Android camp long (just 4 months since I swapped from my blackberry) but I can truthfully say that I have been converted and have never once considered switching to apple products.
As a loyal fan ( I check your website multiple times day) and broke college student, I believe that I am as worthy of winning the Transformer Prime as anyone else. Thanks!
Tie Breaker: The teams I chose have Tegra 3- Four core power because they have the stregth, endurance and teamwork required to work together and over come the opposition. Asus uses the same idea of teamwork (4 cores) to get the job done as well.
Kentucky, Florida State, Syracruse, and North Carolina
My friend wins all the time, and I believe that If i win this I could rub it in his face. Muahahahahaha! Plus I’ve been hunting for a tablet for quite some time, and this one just seems to blow the rest of the water.
These teams have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because like the tablet, they are no contest for the rest of the teams in the tournament. We should just expedite it to this point so we can out who is the Transformer Prime of March Madness!
1-Kentuky
2-North Carolina
3-Ohio
4-Missouri
I want a Transformer Prime because I want and will use every feature that it has. I love to customize my devices and the openness of the Android OS makes them extremely doable. If I won one of these tablets, it would never leave my side.
I selected the teams that I did because the players on those teams are all secretly androids, and they also have Tegra3 processors. The guy who photographed the Loch Ness Monster told me so.
No Canada love? :(
Kentucky Wildcats, Ohio State Buckeyes, North Carolina Tar Heels, Missouri Tigers. I don’t follow basketball, so I just picked the top Vegas odds.
I want to win a Transformer Prime so I can show all those people with iPads how much better a quad-core tablet is. Also, I need a new Android tablet to replace the TouchPad I got rid off. Hope I win!
Kentucky
Syracuse
UNC
Ohio State
I think I should win because I totally got hooked on using my OG Transformer, but then it got broken and is not fixable. Winning a Transformer Prime would get me back in the game!
The teams I have chosen all have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they are the absolute best in a large field of contenders.
1. Syracuse
2. North Carolina
3. Kentucky
4. Baylor
I really want this ting badly.
Why are these teams gonna win? Somebody has to.
Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina and Marquette.
Why I want a Transformer Prime:
1) My kids’ school has them using iPads, and they don’t share very well.
2) I flew to Asia 3 times last year – this would make 13-hour flights bearable.
3) Sonic the Hedgehog!
Kentucky
Kansas
Wisconsin
Marquette
I should win so my wife will have her own to play with.
Kansas
North Carolina
Syracuse
Michigan State
I think I should win because of how dedicated I am to Nvidia and Asus. These two teams together equal horsepower and quality to match the NCAA teams I chose to win. Let’s go Nvidia and Asus…outdo yourself with another Prime.
My guess:
-Florida
-Kentucky
-Ohio
-North Carolina
I wanna this tablet so I can replace my laptop and stay in the Android ecosystem (Dark Kingdom looks great on Tegra 3).
Kentucky
Duke
Syracuse
Missouri
I, believe. I should win because I been begging Asus since Christmas to send me a prime, and I haven’t gotten one yet. The teams that I picked are the best collectively, just like Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core power .
Me me me
Kentucky
Michigan State
Syracuse
Kansas
Why I should win? Because my Chromebook isn’t cutting it and I’m dying to use something as powerful as the Transformer as my primary tablet AND laptop.
My teams have the Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they know that you can’t win with just 4, they need that 5th companion core to truly succeed.
kentucky, UNC, syracuse, and missouri
i’d be using this to better enjoy my life.
Stop The Presses, These are the Final Four; Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, and
Duke. You heard it here first!
Why Should I get one of The Tablets? six months ago I moved from a iphone, to a HTC Rezound and I’m in love with all things Android. I can’t believe I wasted my time on Apples OS when I can do so much more with Android. So I’m looking forward to my new Transformer Prime.
1. Duke – Two words: “Coach K”. The mental toughness, focus on preparation, and execution.
2. Florida State – Clutch shooting and good defense. As long as they’re within a 3-pointer at the end of the game they have a shot.
3. Kansas – Thomas Robinson: tremendous heart, leadership, and determination.
4. Michigan State – Consistency.
I don’t know “why” anyone should win anything but if I had to answer I would say because I put my pants on just like the next person, one leg at a time.
1) Kentucky Wildcats
2) North Carolina Tar Heels
3) Ohio State Buckeyes
4) Syracuse
I should win because I love technology. I’m a huge fan of this site and Asus products. Nvidia Tegra-3 4-plus-1 is also a powerhouse that I would love to get my hands on. That extra 5th core works wonders for battery life. Winning would make me extremely happy!
The teams I chose have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they hustle with fast speed, and extreme endurance, like 4 cores they have great teamwork and depth, plus they all have passion for the sport. These same qualities are seen in the insanely fast yet efficient Tegra-3 4-plus-1 processor!
Georgetown, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio
I would like a Transformer Prime because my Original Galaxy Tab is getting kind of slow, and PRIME is what I was hoping that my Nexus was going to be called. PLUS, I have wanted a new tablet for some time, and it just feels right to get a Quad Core Beast like the Prime….
Tie Breaker: My teams have the Tegra 3 Four Core processor because like Nvidia, they are the best at what they do!
south carolina, ohio, texas, boston
i should win the transformer prime because i love Asus products-its very top of the line and i get my money worth. Im kinda of a android fan but when i buy something i go for the best and this tablet bests them all
Kentucky, Vandy, Kansas, Michigan State. I want an awesome tablet so I can just give me crappy one to my kids!
Kentucky
Michigan
Syracuse
North Carolina
North Carolina will take Michigan with a strong rushing game and lots of touchdowns. Kentucky will beat Syracuse because Syracuse doesn’t have a strong pitcher this year.
At the World Series, Kentucky will pull a hat trick, but North Carolina will get a field goal in over time to win the game.
My prediction is flawless; therefore, I will win.
Kentucky, Ohio St, MSU, North Carolina.
I’ve been with Android from the start and would LOVE to get a transformer prime so my wife stops stealing my current Android tablet. It’s not fair! I never get to use it!
My teams have the 4 core power because they are obviously all robots. Powered by Tegra 3s. Which is why they look so life-like and will completely dominate the tournament.
Ohio Buckeyes
North Carolina Tar Heels
Kentucky Wildcats
Missouri Tigers
I would like to win so I can watch the final 4 on the number 1 tablet! Then I could show my Apple fanatic family members what real tablet can do ;)
My picks are Marquette, Kentucky, Ohio State, and Georgetown.
I think I should win because I’m actually going to do the honorable thing and give it as a gift to my fiance, because I’m effin awesome like that!
I picked those 4 teams because a psychic told me to.
Kentucky, Ohio State, Florida and Kansas. These teams have the power and the perseverance to make it to the final four. They have the passion and the athleticism to win. I deserve the TF201 because my TF101 is slowly dying, and I need a new toy for school and work.
Q:”The NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament has just gotten underway- excited?”A: Honestly, uh, not really. It isn’t Android, or my loving wife, so I don’t pay much attention to it.
(1) The 4 teams you believe will make it to the semi-finals
* The Angels
* The Ducks
* The Packers
* UNR Wolfpack
(2) Include a few sentences why YOU should win the Transformer Prime and why the teams you selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power (for the tiebreaker).
* I should win the Transformer Prime because I am a true phan. It’ll go everywhere with me, so I can read, play, edit, watch movies, listen to music, test apps, take and test online classes, and give my coworkers something else to envy about me… oh, yeah, I’ll try to convince my lovely wife why learning to use a tablet would be better than moving to an Amish community. The teams I picked should win because they have so much multi-core power, they don’t even need to be in the NCAA to win the tourney!
Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina and Syracuse.
I would love this as my Google Chromebook has shit the bed.
The teams I have selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they made it to the final four without the shackles of Apple.
I didn’t fill out a bracket this year (I know, I’m bad). I’ll pick Duke and UNC since they always seem to make it anyway, Marquette because they beat my alma mater BYU, and Vandy ’cause their name is awesome.
I already have a TPrime and I LOVE it so this one would go to my brother. He’s an Android freak, so who knows what he’d do with it.
Duke, North Carolina, Ohio, and Kentucky.
I should win this because I’ll use it to develop and test android games, which will hopefully be awesome enough to release to the public so everyone can play them. That’s the plan, at least.
Those particular teams… to be honest, I’m not a huge basketball fan, so I haven’t been paying much attention. But of all the teams, those ones seem like the strongest to me.
The 4 teams I believe will make it to the semi-finals are:
North Carolina
Kentucky
Ohio State
Missouri
I should win because I am an avid android user for life and have never won a giveaway!
The teams I selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they have worked as a team to accomplish a final four position just like the 4 cores work together to run games and apps that most tablets can’t.
The 2012 Final Four, will be:
1) Ohio State Buckeyes
2) North Carolina Tar Heels
3) Kentucky Wildcats
4) Missouri Tigers
I should win because I need a rocking device like this! The most advanced piece of tech in this category that I have is a dead laptop with a mobile Penitum IV! The tie-breaker reason why the teams I selected have Tegra 3 four-core power, is that these are 4 powerful sets of teams!
Baylor, Ohio St., Norfolk, UNC
I’ve chosen two majors and two mid majors… Ohio St & UNC (majors) are an example of androids dominance now a days and Norfolk & Baylor remind me of when android first started underrated but with tons of potential to slay the giants.. And I should because I’m hard-core android fan!
UNC, FL.St, Kentucky, Mich St.
I should win the tablet because I could use a mobile device to do my college work on. Also it would make reading phandroid.com easier on the go. These teams show they have Tegera 3 , 4 core power through good coaching, unity and the will to win.
Kentucky
Michigan
Syracuse
North Carolina
I should win because I have been a god boy and have not purchased a tablet. Instead I have been saving my money for a house. SO, it would be great if I could win one!
Kentucky
North carolina
Michigan state
Syracuse
I should win the transformer prime because I love android dearly, but can’t afford a super-powered tablet like the prime.
The teams I selected as special because they’re all teams that pull off plays that make you go, “holy sh.t!” It was the same response I got when I first laid eyes on the prime!
1. Kentucky
2. Louisville
3. Florida State
4. North Carolina State
I live in Kentucky and bleed blue. So if one of my 3 teams ( Kentucky, Louisville, and Murray State) don’t win it ALL I’m gonna need something to console me. So you may ask why I don’t have Murray State in there. It is my alma mater, so I didn’t want to jinx them. I never win anything so putting them in the list would feel like I was begging them to lose.
North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Vanderbilt
I should get it because I am a winner!
Michigan State
Ohio State
Kentucky
North Carolina
Like the Tegra 3, these teams have the speed, endurance, and depth to make the final 4. They are unparalleled in terms of performance and they blow the rest of the field away, much like the Transformer Prime! I would love to get my hands on this amazing tablet so I can step up my game and dominate the ranks of the tablet world!
my picks: UNC, Florida, Gonzaga, and Indiana. Really, I think UNC has a chance to win it all if they can get their act together.
the reason I want the Transformer Prime is I love me some ICS, and the Transformer Prime is one awesome little tablet – and the lapdock seals the deal for me. That’d be perfect for taking notes in class. And since I’m a student my finances are a little low…so winning what I can’t afford would be just stinking awesome. Just sayin’.
Ohio State Buckeyes
North Carolina Tar Heels
Kentucky Wildcats
Missouri Tigers
I’ve always wanted a powerhouse tablet like this, but don’t the cash to buy it. I’ve always bought second hand gadgets in my life and never owned a brand new. But with this, I’m hoping it will change… I’ve picked the teams because they work hard for the wins, just like the Tegra 3…
dangit…double post…sorry. Tried to delete this one…
Marquette, Kansas, Florida State, Kentucky.
Why? Because I didn’t want to tie so I chose something no one else has.
I need the transformer to replace my own crappy old netbook, and appease my Android addiction.
Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State, Marquette
Kentucky
Ohio State
Marquette
North Carolina
I need this Transformer Prime because I’m sick of waiting for more than an alpha release for my HP Touchpad, and also sick of lugging my 17″ laptop to work and back. A wonderful tablet like the Transformer Prime and keyboard dock will make my year!
This is a long shot but
Kentucky,
Ohio State,
Michigan State,
North Carolina
I should win a
transformer prime because its a great device and worth getting, with Asus
rolling out timely updates and bug fixes while Nvidia develops stunning
games and apps this tablet is well supported. The Quad Core A9 chipset inside
the TPrime displays true power while not sacrificing any battery life because
of the +1, there really is no reason why anyone would not want
it.
I chose these four teams because much like the Power behind the Tegra 3 compared to other Arm 9 chipsets, these 4 teams are the best in their league.
Kentucky, Ohio State, UNC, Marquette..
I should win because I cant play basketball, so at least I would be able to watch the replays on the Prime.
And the four teams I picked are super fast, just like the Tegra 3. Five players on the court is like the 4 + 1 chip structure!!!!
The four finalists will be Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan State and North Carolina.
I should win because I need a Transformer intervention to break my IPad addiction.
The teams that I selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they all excel at four key elements (running, shooting, jumping, and defending) just like the Tegra 3 needs 4 cores to excel.
Syracuse – Missouri – UNC – Kentucky
All these teams have a lot of power and are very fast on the court just like the Tegra 3 with one of the teams, Kentucky, having the 4 plus 1 and because of this they will be this year NCAA champion.
I wuold love for this to be my first tablet and I will definitely enjoy browsing and watching videos, and playing games all day in the couch with this the most powerful tablet in the market.
Double post. Not sure what happened
1.Kentucky
2.Murray State
3.North Carolina
4.Vanderbilt
I should when the Asus transformer prime because I’m a college student trying to earn an education in a struggling economy where it is hard to excel academically without adequate tools to perform on a high level and I believe the prime can get me over the hump.
I picked these teams because they’re as awesome as the prime!
My picks: North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri
I want the Prime because It is the best android tablet as of rightnow. I would be able to start my new hobby of drawing on my newly won Prime. The teams I selected don’t have Tegra 3 power I think the tablet would blow them out of the water, but they are as good of a guess that I can come up with.
1. Michigan State
2. UNC
3. Ohio State
4. Kentucky
I want a transformer prime because it is the perfect device for a college student. I have a bulky, powerful laptop that I use regularly but would like something that is ultra-portable. On top of that, I would love to have a touchscreen larger than my phone. The Tegra III chip gives the ideal balance of speed and power that makes the prime the best tablet out.
I chose my teams because, like the prime, they posses the speed and power to make it to the final four. As a side note, they are my favorite teams!!
North CarolinaKentukyDuke& last but not least Missouri.
It’s a done deal! I really hope I win b/c I am going to college soon and a Transformer Prime would be amazing!
Kentucky, North Carolina, Louisville, Florida State
I should win because I read this blog every day, and I’ve yet to win a single prize!
The teams I’ve chosen are survivors of a crazy first two days of basketball in a crowded field, much like Asus has come through at the forefront of the Android tablet race.
The four teams I predict are: Kentucky, Missouri, Syracuse & North Carolina. I should win the Transformer Prime because I really need a tablet and I love both ASUS and Android, and would appreciate the Transformer Prime BEYOND BELIEF. I’ve been wanting a Transformer Prime and dock since it was 1st announced, mainly because of it’s speed, versatility, and cool factor!…it’s just amazing in every way. The four teams I selected have Tegra 3 Four-Core power because they all have put in the work, passion, and hustle, not to mention extraordinary examples of speed, both individually, and as a team, to just get the damn job done. Period.
Syracuse, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas
I want the Transformer Prime because I an an android fan girl! I also want to experience the raw power of a Tegra 3 processor. The Transformer Prime is just pure sexy!
My teams are Prime all the way – with unbeatable power and speed.
Kentucky
Michigan State
Florida State
North Carolina
I should win because I love electronics, basketball, and Android of course. I definitely want to use the Prime for school and playing games.
All of the teams I chose are fast, tough, and have a lot of depth.
Kentucky, Florida, Ohio State, North Carolina
I deserve to win so I can use the quad core power of the Transformer Prime to check Facebook and stay up to date on the latest Memes and cute cat videos.
The Four Core teams I’ve chosen will win because I picked them like a boss.
My picks….
North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri
Why I think I should get the transformer prime? It would be nice to have. I got my wife a tablet for Christmas and she’s gaga over it. It would be nice to go gaga over one of my own.
As for the picks? Let’s face it… I didn’t know it was March Madness until today. Basketball really isn’t my thing. I’ll be honest, too, I lifted my picks off someone else. lol
UNC, Michigan St, UK & OSU. They are all exactly like the Tegra 3 since they are the best in the world!
Marquette, Baylor, Syracuse, Kansas.
I should win not becasue of my rakish charm, but because of my intense desire to mock the iSheep with a super amazing device.
Kentucky, UNC, Ohio State, MissourWhen I first saw the glow ball demonstration, I was so taken aback. As a college student, I cannot afford a tablet with the price tag of the transformer prime, but I would certainly love to own one. My wife I’m sure would enjoy it as well.
Thanks so much phandroid.com!
Kentucky
Michigan State
Wisconsin
Kansas
I should win so I can finally prove my iPad-owning wife that she wasted a ton of money on a far inferior device. Just like the Prime, these 4 teams have speed and power. And I’ve had endurance to not go insane over the horrible keyboard clicking sound of my wife’s iPad. So please…make it stop!
Kentucky Wildcats, Michigan St. Spartans, UNC Tarheels, Wisconsin Badgers
I should win the Tegra 3 because I will test it to its potential playing rpgs for multiple hours. Here’s the breakdown of the four core power of my selections:
1) Kentucky – Speed & Hustle really athletic team here2) Michigan St – Passion these guys have one of the most passionate coaches Izzo3) UNC – Teamwork these guys have a good chemistry with Tyler Zeller4) Wisconsin – Depth & Endurance they have a deep bench
Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas and Ohio State. I really could use this for me and my family for work and play. All 4 of these teams possess the CORE fundamentals to work their way to the final FOUR.
unc, kentucky, mich st, ohio st. all power and speed.
need a new “home” computer and if its not a transformer it will most likely be this rumored nexus tablet coming out as long as it has tegra 3.
Kentucky
Michigan State
Wisconsin
North Carolina
I should get the Prime so that my husband (above ^) will stop bugging me about it. I settled for an iPad because the Prime wasn’t available anywhere to buy! Since then, he hasn’t stopped talking about how much better the Prime is. Of course, I know this, but he keeps insisting I’m a crazy iPad lover.
Please…give me the Prime so I can get rid of the iPad and shut him up!
Kentucky, Ohio St, Mich St , UNC
I should win because I know nothing about Basketball or any other sports, so I need a tablet to keep me occupied while others are watching sports.
The teams I have chosen are like a Tegra-3 processor because they all have that special something inside of them, just like Tegra’s Ninja Core (plus 1 core), which makes them succeed where others fail.
Kentucky
Michigan
Syracuse
North Carolina
I want a transformer prime because it is the hottest piece of tablet on the market right now. I only want the best because I rock and so does phandroid!
these four teams have Tegra 3 Four-Core power for the tiebreaker because they have the best speed, endurance, teamwork and passion.
Kentucky, syracuse, Missouri, north Carolina.
I’ve been holding out on purchasing a tablet until now. Hope to get the transformer prime.
Kentuky,Duke,North Carolina,Missouri.
I should win because I love coming to Phandroid for the latest updates on Android.
My teams all display Quad Core capabilities with their fast drives to the paint and constant movement with the ball.
Kentucky, Ohio St, Georgetown, and Michigan St. Probably the best lineup we got
I want to win this tablet so i can take it to school to take notes. And Tegra 3 is the best and since im the best we go along. :P
North Carolina
Kentucky
Ohio State
Michigan State
I would like to win because I would love to own this king of all tablets.
The four teams I think will make it to the semi-finals are:
Kentucky
Ohio State
Missouri
North Carolina
I would use the Transformer Prime to work on college assignments, read textbooks, and game (of course).
I picked these teams because they seem to be the best out of the ones I’ve heard of.
I’m picking Kentucky, Ohio State, North Carolina, and Kansas. And I need a prime because I’ve got a four-core family… one for each kid. (I also hope your clocks aren’t super accurate. ;) )
Iowa St.
Marquette
Syracuse
Kansas
I should win because I was never diagnosed with Linsanity. I had Linsane-like symptons, but I remained healthy enough to fight off the infection. I also don’t own a tablet, and I’d like to be the cool kid with the fancy gadget for once.
Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt, UNC.
I need a new tablet for school and gaming ofcourse.
Kentucky, Missouri, Syracuse, Ohio StateI would want the Transformer Primes for school work/note taking. The added dock would be great for taking notes and the Tegra 3 is powerful enough to get the job done with everything else. The four teams have Tegra 3 4 core power because they are fast and have endurance.
U. Kentucky
Florida state U
U. of North Carolina
and Michigan State U.
Dude if i won i would use this for games and school lots of studin and fun. YEP
they have transformer power because they endured past all other teams to make it to the final four.
smart and competative bt carry may be a problem ….u not always keep
Duke
North Carolina

Omg I want a Transformer Prime so bad. I have this great new passion for Android & Tech, and the Transformer Prime is the holy grail of Android Tablets. I would have one already if I had the extra cash to spend, but I don’t. So thank you Phandroid & Nvidia for this opportunity!
Oh and I picked those teams because I like some of them, and the rest I think are good
ohiostate ,indiana,
kentucky, Michigan,
Final Four: Duke, North Carolina,
Michigan, Kentucky:
OMG, thank you for giving people like me a chance to get a Transformer Prime. If I would win this I’d go and download Onlive, so I can be able to play games with a Keyboard and Mouse” with the USB on the keyboard dock”, so I can shove it to my apple fanboy -friends.
If I don’t win this, I hope who ever does actually will use this with all It’s potential!
Kentucky
Marquette
Wisconsin
Kansas
If I were to win, I’d likely port Ubuntu over and use it as a new laptop for the work I’ll be doing this summer. xD
Why I expect these teams in the final 4,
Barnes betrayed Iowa State (my school) by leaving Ames for UNC, so I can’t root for them. =P And Syracuse without Melo is going down the drain.
Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, & Missouri. I should win because I love Android. All four teams that I picked has Tegra 3 four core power because they have the best coaches.

I should win the Transformer Prime because I would put it to good use and modify and hack the shit out of it
the four teams I picked have Tegra 3 four-core power because they can..are you going to question them? didnt think so
Kentucky, Michigan State, Cincy, North Carolina
Why?
1) Open Source
2) Better Processor – More Power / More energy efficient
Final four
1. Kentucky
2. The Ohio State
3. Kansas
4. Florida
I should win it because I love Phandroid and I want to show all the Apple lemmings what a great real tablet can do.
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power, by excelling in the low post, on the perimeter, off the bench, and from the coaching.
I’ll go with the uninspired prediction of Kentucky, UNC, Syracuse, and Michigan State. I should win the Transformer because it will have a good home and will get a good workout. Rooting, optimizing, tethering, videos, pictures, browsing, and GPS — I would use it all the time.
The teams I selected all have Tegra 3 power because they all have 4 cores + a ninja core on the court at all times (see what I did there, 5 players, BOOYAH!)
1. Kentucky
2. Kansas
3. Florida
4. Wisconsin
I want to win since I am a huge Asus fan, and I want to give my regular transformer to my wife, so she can see how great Asus is as well. These teams should win because they have 5 cores (4 +1) like the tegra 3, and each core helps them work together as a team!
Kentucky, Ohio St, UNC, Michigan St
I want the Prime because it is by far the best tablet on the market right now. It has incredible speed along with the lapdock which makes it perfect for business and pleasure.
The teams I chose will win because they have what it takes to work well together as a team, just like the 4+1 cores work well together within the Prime. They complement each others strengths to provide the best there is.
1-Kentuky2-North Carolina3-Duke4-Missouri
I should win the Transformer Prime because I’m a Phandroid-Adict and the only Geek that love sports :)
My four teams have Tegra 3 four-core power because they DOMINATE the painting zone in this NCAA edition.
Thanks guys for the joy!

Here are my final four:
(4) Wisconsin
(3) Marquette
(2) Kansas
(1) Kentucky
I chose the teams I did, because when it comes to certain sports, as well as Android, I’m just another “fanboi”. I’m from Wisconsin, so naturally I want Wisconsin and Marquette to make it. It isn’t probable, but I hope to see an all-Wisconsin NCAA Championship game sometime in my life.
I picked Kentucky because they were the only team to go undefeated in conference play. They’re ranked #1 and I don’t see anyone knocking them off at this point.
I picked Kansas because UNC is like Apple to me. They were good in the early ’80s. 1984 came, Jordan went to the Bulls, and Apple released the first Macintosh. And that’s where they both started to go downhill. “WE’RE THE BEST” they would proclaim, as they both recruited a huge number of fans, all willing to pay top dollar for whatever was being offered. Others came along to challenge, and they both tumbled down the mountain. Kansas knocked UNC out of the Final Four in 1991. This was in between the years Windows 3.0 (1990) and Windows 3.1 (1992) were released to the world. Circa 1993 was a rebound period for both programs as UNC won the NCAA championship and Apple released the Performa, PowerBook Duo, and Newton. Right after that, both fell again, both would need many years to rise back to the top. UNC would finally win the Championship once again in 2005, the same year Apple announced the switch to Intel processors. Both are doing very well again these days although Android is gunning for Apple, just like Kansas is gunning for UNC. My brain hurts.
In short, I want the Transformer Prime because it is the best Tablet/convertible on the market today. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who picked these 4 teams… so I don’t see myself winning this one.
Kentucky / Michigan State / UNC / Ohio State
I should win because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and doggone it, people like me.
1. Florida2. NCState3. Wisconsin4. Kentucky
I want an Android Tablet because I love that Android just works, You do not need anything else on your PC to manage anything. I <3 Asus/Android.
Tegra 3 for Multitasking+ Graphical revolution+ Faster Performance :)
kentucky = endurance & teamwork
memphis = speed & hustle
ohio = passion
kansas st = depth & passion
i would love a tablet it is the last thing to complete my life :D
Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Ohio state.
Love the ability to transform to a netbook and also double the battery life
Power, speed, teamwork, and perseverance
Kentucky, Ohio State, UNC, Syracuse. Their talent and speed allow them to play whatever style is necessary to best take advantages of the weaknesses of their opponents. They can match up better than any other teams in the tournament.
The Transformer Prime’s Tegra 3 CPU, keyboard dock, and Super IPS+ display give it the same abilities. Web browsing, media viewing, productivity, the Prime can do it all without any slowdowns. It matches up better than any other tablet on the market.
*UNC
*Kentucky
*Ohio State
*Missouri
I feel these teams have the speed & power of the Tegra 3 by Nvidia, to make it into the final 4.
I want an Asus Transformer Prime because I have such a passion now for Tech & Android. and the Transformer Prime surely is the best of both! I would of bought one by now if I could afford it, so hopefully this will be a way for me to get it!
Thanks to the Phandroid team, Nvidia, and Asus for giving us a shot, I appreciate the chance!
1. Kentucky2. UNC 3. Michigan State4. North Carolina
1a.Why I should win the Asus Transformer Prime is because I hate iCrap stuff by Apple, they are overpriced and lack the power and connectable products that the Trans P does (USB, Flash, SD & Micro, HDMI).
1b. I have to agree with terfdaq”To be honest, I haven’t watched any basketball in about 10 years.” me too. But I would have to say these teams are held together with team work and determination.

I believe the teams will be:
1. Ohio State Buckeyes 2. North Carolina Tar Heels 3. Kentucky Wildcats 4. Missouri Tigers I’ve been dying for an android tablet for the longest time, the Transformer Prime is simply the best yet. It offers the best performance, features, and gaming, which is what I primarily would like to have it for. It would be so great to have an ICS tablet to next to my ICS Gnex.
