Hasbro sues Asus over Transformer Prime tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer Prime TF201
Don't say we didn't tell you so: Hasbro sued Asus over the name of its Transformer Prime tablet last week, in a federal district court. The toymaker is no doubt worried that the name could be confused with that of its Transformers franchise, not to mention Optimus Prime, the lead protagonist of the animation and film series... though we're not quite sure how a robot that transforms into a semi truck could be confused with a tablet and detachable keyboard. Perhaps Hasbro is worried that tablet buyers might see it as a licensed product. Hasbro has already sent out a generic statement about its willingness to "aggressively protect its brands," and we're reaching out to Asus right now. According...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer Prime TF201
ASUS has excelled at building up the global Transformer craze, and although there's been a few hiccups along the way, the quad-core beast is set to start hitting shelves around the world in the weeks ahead. According to Pocket-lint, the Taiwanese company has given confirmation that the newest Eee Pad on the block is hitting Great Britain in January. You'll be surprised to hear that the Prime won't be coming as a lone wolf, instead being bundled with its mighty dock companion and priced at £499 (around $770 in Greenbacks) for the 32GB WiFI-only version. We'd offer you a look at our review in the meantime, but on second thought, that probably makes the wait that much more unbearable...

ASUS Transformer Prime launch delayed indefinitely, report says
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer Prime TF201
ASUS has reportedly delayed the launch of its highly anticipated Transformer Prime convertible tablet. ASUS’s new tablet was expected to launch this week but Wi-Fi issues have seemingly set things back. ”The WiFi range on the TF201 did not meet our quality standards,” a spokesperson from ASUS Canada reportedly told Engadget in a statement. The spokesperson continued, saying that ASUS will not launch the slate until the wireless performance issues are fixed. The Transformer Prime will be among the first quad-core tablets to reach market when it finally hits store shelves, though ASUS did not indicate how long its solution for these wireless issues would take to implement. Pre-orders are still...

Asus Transformer Prime to launch on Thursday?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer Prime TF201
One of our loyal readers, who wishes to remain anonymous, turned us on to an interesting video on YouTube. What the video doesn't say is more telling than what it does. The subject of the clip is a review for the Asus Transformer Prime. The last speculation we reported was that the NVIDIA Tegra 3 powered tablet would launch a week from Thursday on December 8th. However, after attempting to view the review, there is some reason to believe that the tablet could be released on December 1st which is tomorrow.
In trying to view the review, the video pauses and a message appears on the screen that Asus had requested that the video be put on hold until December 1st. If the manufacturer did not want...

Asus Transformer Prime gets its Smart Cover
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer Prime TF201
Think that the iPad 2 is the only tablet with a smart cover? Think again, with Amazon Germany listing such an accessory for the upcoming Asus Transformer Prime. So aside from the keyboard dock, this will be one of those must-have things to purchase alongside Asus’ Android tablet. The price is 39 EUR, which is roughly $53.
Yeah I know it’s not cheap, but you’ll be glad to know this magnetic folding cover is even smarter than what Apple is selling, supporting both portrait and landscape orientations at a variety of angles. Overall, the Asus Smart Cover seems inspired by an origami sculpture and is way more complex that Apple’s product. Not sure that’s a plus, but I certainly like more options...
