ASUS video hints of a possible dual booting Windows/Android tablet

ASUS video hints of a possible dual booting Windows/Android tablet

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

A few days ago, ASUS released a video that teased an upcoming tablet that seems to be an addition to its Transformer line. The Transformer tablets can dock into a QWERTY keyboard and the video invited the viewer to join ASUS as it announces "the truly incredible next transformations". The manufacturer's next video was released on Thursday in advance of an announcement set for June 4th at Computex. Considering the message of the new video, that announcement could be very interesting indeed.

Asus Google Nexus 7 outed - the first Jelly Bean tablet?

Rumours of a Google Nexus tablet have gathered pace and it's almost certainly going to be a 7-incher from Asus.
A benchmark test run using Basemark has revealed some interesting facts. Going by the codename “Grouper” - Google has a history of codenaming its Nexus devices after fish - the tablet is said to have the model number “Nexus 7” which hints heavily at two important details.

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind

Posted on May 30, 2012 by MG3

The 7-inch ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T we saw in early prototype form during CES just passed through the FCC. It's still only showing WiFi radios with no trace of a cellular connection, although if it's going to be the $249 standard bearer NVIDIA and ASUS were so excited about, that's to be expected. A juicier rumor that has surfaced in the intervening period however, suggests this device will actually be released as a Google Nexus 7-inch tablet (or just sold from a Google store), and could even feature the next version of Android, codenamed Jelly Bean. It could also sell for as low as $149, although the cheaper reworked version might swap out the Tegra processor for one from Qualcomm. We didn'...

ASUS teases new Transformers for Computex debut

ASUS teases new Transformers for Computex debut

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: TabletsASUS

ASUS loves a good teaser, and its Computex 2012 promo is a fine example of the breed: ominous voice, vague mention of the cloud, and a hint of a new Transformer dockable tablet. “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own” the video – which you can see after the cut – suggests, in what’s almost certainly a reference to ASUS’ recent drive for tablets that can be slotted into battery-toting keyboards, and phones that dock into slates.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL hits the FCC with AT&T-friendly LTE

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL hits the FCC with AT&T-friendly LTE

Posted on May 28, 2012 by MG3

ASUS isn't known for offering its tablets to North American carriers with 3G or 4G; an FCC filing for a cellular-capable Transformer Pad TF300 could be a clue at a break in the WiFi-only trend. Along with the usual wireless, a TF300TL variant of the Android 4.0 slate has stopped by the agency with the 850MHz and 1,900MHz frequencies needed for HSPA 3G as well as, best of all, 700MHz and 1,700MHz support for LTE-based 4G. All four are what we'd look for in an AT&T-oriented tablet, so don't be surprised if Ma Bell carries a 4G Transformer Pad before long. All but the 700MHz band would be handy for Canadian networks as well. There's no surefire evidence of when the tablet might make a more form...

Update for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 makes the device more stable

Posted on May 21, 2012 by MG1

A minor software update for the Asus Transformer Pad TF300, which was disseminated to some tablets on Friday, is now being sent out to the remaining owners of the device. As an OTA update, it should be easy to install. The new software version is 9.4.3.29 and the Wi-Fi and camera versions get a bump up as well, giving you some idea of where to look for improvements. One build that doesn't change is the Android OS which remains at 4.0.3.
According to Android Central, the official word is that the update brings more stability to the device (imagine if we could make people more stable with a minor update). Asus says that the update is not yet on the TF30 Firmware page which means you will need ...

Asus announces pricing and launch date for quad-core Asus Transformer Pad TF300

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: TabletsASUS

After introducing the Asus Transformer Pad TF300 at Barcelona this past February at MWC 2012, we recently let you know that some sites were calling for an April 22nd launch of the tablet. Asus has just officially announced the launch date and let's just say that the prior speculation was real close. The quad-core Tegra 3 powered tablet with Android 4.0.3 installed will be available online starting April 23rd. Assuming that enough inventory remains, the tablet will then be available at brick and mortar stores exactly one week later. Initially, the tablet will be offered in royal blue, but other colors such as torch red and iceberg white will become available in June.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 gets its first post ICS software update

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 gets its first post ICS software update

Posted on Mar 15, 2012 by MG3

Last month, Asus Eee Pad Transformer owners were given the delightful news about the tablet’s in with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course, the software update eventually made its way to tablet owners, but it doesn’t seem that things have been going smoothly for some people – and in fact, the update has been wreaking havoc instead.
Well folks, Asus is doing things right, naturally, as Asus’ first-generation Android tablet is seeing its first post Ice Cream Sandwich update. Specifically, the new update for the tablet is labeled 9.2.1.17-20123012, but there’s no changelog attached to it. Therefore, it’s anyone’s guess as to exactly what the new software update actually brings to the table...

Filed in: TabletsASUSGoogle

Google reportedly went through several manufacturers before settling on Asus to develop its 7-inch "Kindle Fire killer," the Google Nexus tablet. The duo is expected to unveil the device as early as May with the previously reported price range of $199 to $249 USD. The news arrives after Google debunked rumors that the tablet would be called Google Play, as it consolidated its four main services into one network brand using that very name.

Asus teases Retina Display Tablet for MWC 2012?

Asus teases Retina Display Tablet for MWC 2012?

Posted on Feb 24, 2012 by MG15

The iPad 3 is going to double the resolution with its new Retina Display. I already pointed out in this report that I believe that the Android camp will try to beat Apple to the punch with a Retina display tablet. It could well be that Asus will show a tablet with retina display resolution at the MWC 2012. Asus released another MWC 2012 teaser video. The new one is titled: "Twice the Detail, Twice the Fun." The teaser is clearly about display resolution. The form factor of the box filled with balls resembles a tablet. Watch the Asus teaser video below. Earlier today we reported about another Asus MWC 2012 teaser video that is about a new transformer tablet with smartphone integration.

Prime owner littlesteve had a Ubuntu build prepped and waiting for just this day, though there are still some hardware issues to iron out: no touchscreen support, for instance, so that a Bluetooth mouse is necessary for navigation.
