Yes, you did read it correctly, Google are set to release their own branded tablet. It is rumoured that Google are preparing an on-line store, selling directly to consumers, much like they tried (and failed) to do with the original Nexus. The store will sell the Google branded …
Asus yesterday announced the PadFone. Which is the tablet with a phone inside it. We have previously seen various demos at CES a few months ago. Well now it turns out that it works with the keyboard dock as seen on the Transformer range. This really could be …
Asus has said it is still planning to release an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) upgrade for its original Transformer tablet this month. Ermm..that’s in the next few days, then. Transformer TF101 owners have been waiting patiently for the upgrade, which should arrive by next Wednesday. Asus …
I have had the Asus Transformer Prime for a few weeks now. I’ve bought some accessories for it, I’ve plugged in my xbox controller to it, I’ve downloaded a load of tablet specific apps and I think now is an ideal time to review the thing. The Prime …
Asus UK tweeted earlier today that they have released an over the air update for the Transformer Prime. The update is said to fix the random reboots that people have been having. I know mine has been severely hindered by this bug/feature. I haven’t applied the update yet, …
Put an order in for the Asus Transformer Prime with Clove? You’re in for some bad news unfortunately, as the company has decided to stop shipping the unit due to complaints. An update on their blog mentions how successful the Transformer Prime has been and seems to suggest …
“Wow”. That was my initial reaction upon opening the box. The whole process had been a bit dampened though. What a palaver the pre order process was. How annoying was it to have Asus announce an updated model even before this one had even reached the UK market. …
Got your Asus Transformer Prime tablet? Me too – but apparently I’ve been one of the lucky ones with no GPS/Wi-Fi issues. Well now it’s been confirmed – sort of. Asus says users who have GPS fault will get money back, but denies an issue with Wi-Fi Asus …
Are you after a Asus Transformer Prime? Are you in the UK? It probably worth checking this thread over at xda-developers . It looks like units are starting to fly off the shelves from PC World and Currys. It seems that the larger PC World stores are the …
It seems that ASUS have thought again about their locked bootloader policy on the Transformer Prime and have announced the following information over at their FaceBook page which has also been picked up by XDA-Developers.. Oh, and ICS is coming on January 12th too! Good times.. ICS will …
Story so far. The bootloader on the Asus Prime is locked. This prevents developers doing a lot of fun developer things like custom ROMs. The Prime is a SIM free device too, so there’s no networks asking Asus to stop network unlocking. The guys at xda-developers have started …
The Asus Transformer Prime has kinda fell out of love with the developers over on XDA-Developers. No ROMs can be flashed to this device because the bootloader is locked down with 128 bit encryption. This is the same trick that HTC did, but then they eventually did a …
We kinda thought this might happen when we first saw the Asus Transformer Prime. The Asus device, which “transforms” with a detachable keyboard, is the target of legal action from toy-maker Hasbro. They’re not keen on their Optimus Prime and Transformers merchandise getting confused with the Asus tablet. …

NVIDIA have added a YouTube video showing Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS / Android 4.0) running on the Transformer Prime. Everything looks to be running very smoothly indeed, although that’s perhaps unsurprising with the Tegra 3 quad-core CPU. 🙂 There’s a quick look at ICS running below… Link – …
The upcoming release of the Asus Transformer Prime is eagerly awaited. Any glimmer of information is another factor in my excitement. In the last few days Asus have added a load of information, specs, pictures and the user manual to their product pages. The Transformer Prime is due …
So, I have an Asus Eee PC off eBay. It’s got a fairly small 4GB SSD drive inside and comes with some random Linux variant. Running Android on it is just a matter of downloading the appropriate ISO thanks to the hard work of Android-x86.org. There’s other custom-built …
Asus have now made the PadFone official with a product page, Press Release and several YouTube videos showing a lucky owner getting popular with the ladies. The device lets you switch from the phone to the tablet for a “seamless experience” between your activities and a single SIM …
It’s got some weird sort of glove box-style mechanism to swallow-up the phone and, around the other side, it’s a full Android tablet. The Android march continues and there’s more cross-over devices appearing month by month. This will be known as the Asus PadFone and, when you want …
With Acer knocking out the TV adverts there’s good news for new and existing owners – Android 3.1 will be coming to the Iconia A500 device as soon as next month. Acer have got some pretty big ad-spots on TV right now, and it’s becoming a bit of …
After using the iPad 2 for a couple of weeks it’s interesting to hear opinions on other new tablets. The BBC’s Marc Cieslak takes a look at the new Motorola XOOM here but seems to be fairly critical of it due to the current lack of microSD functionality …
