OPPS SORRY JUST REALISED THIS IS WRONG FORUM - SORRY
£1 - Get 'em while they're hot!!!
I have been checking for a while now
I knew it was just a matter of time
Now they have them in!!!
Poundland uk now have a great adjustable stand.
Rubber/plastic coated so as not to scrape the table tops and give a bit of stability.
Tried one - great, got another for the vega.
Maybe not the prettiest thing in the world, but does the job very well.
EXCELLENT FOR A POUND.
Just might get a couple more before they are gone.
Anyone else got one yet???

Ugh, hate stylii, not sure about a keyboard I actually like the touch screen ones.
£1 screen protector would be nice though, the ones I've seen are bloody costly for what they are. (£26?)
I also have a neoprene case that I got from poundland too. Okay so its lime green but its the right size.

I would be the opposite, £1 keyboard would be good, but wouldn't have a screen protector in the house. And they do sell protectors for the ipad (eghhh) stick one of them on.
Also try poundworld if there is one of them close, basically the same shop.

East Ham in London
i poped in today to get one and is great for a quid thanks for sharing
Picked one up in Hemel Hempstead, thanks for letting us know! It's branded as an iPad stand even though it will fit most tablets. Wondering who can afford an iPad but shops in poundland...
Just to let people know I picked a couple up in the Milton Keynes store today.
They had about 10 left.
Picked mine up in Poundland Watford today finally!! There was about 8 on the shelf.

It's more once you've forked out for an Ipad, poundland is the only place you can afford to shop in
Does the stand allow for portrait viewing? I use my AV soley for reading digital comics, especially during my breaks at work. Currently (and don't laugh because it works) I use a couple of bananas stacked to support the tablet, which gives an ideal viewing angle, without glare from overhead lights, or seeing your ugly mug in the reflection!
Not sure if we have had one of these yet, but i would love to hear from the people who got a proper (or close to proper) prime.
Has it lived up to your expectations? Whats your fave thing about it? was it worth your green backs?
Omg...pls close this topic...

good thing you are here to tell them which threads to close.. man thanks for the great posts.
IMO this thread is needed - so much negativity about the prime elsewhere and nobody's coming on to tell us any good experiences. Makes me want to cancel my pre-order.

agree.. i love my prime.. its the best android tablet out there right now. the build is the best out of any tablet.
the honeycomb bugs are still there, they are 10x better with the quad core and less noticeable. all comes down to ICS.
if was to sit in my closet with the lights off while my tab boots i could see a light bleed, good thing i don't use my tablet ever in the closet with my lights off. so i'm good with that.
Had the original Transformer as well as a whole host of other tablets. I still say this concept of the detachable hard dock is the most productive I've ever had. The added battery life and a mouse make it feel like an honest laptop replacement. In terms of comparing the new and old Prime, the new one has some obvious advantages in terms of size I really like the weight of it. I do agree with those who said it is a little harder to hold, the metal makes it a little more slick. When I have been using it as a reading tablet for a period of time it does matter
Flaws... well, my GPS doesn't work. I don't know that I care, but since I paid for it I want it to work. Since I have the Galaxy Nexus I realy like ICS, so I hope like hell we get it soon. THe camera facing you isn't great, but oh well. And docked it is definately top heavy and prone to tip. They should have distributed the weight a little more evenly.
Do I like it a lot? Yes! Do I love it? Not yet, but I have a feeling I will
Finally got mine and so far, I'm loving it. Love the weight. Zippy, no lag. GPS doesn't work, but I'm not terribly concerned with that at the moment. Everyone here at work is Ohhh-ing and Ahhh-ing.
My biggest gripe right now is that "everything" seems to be backordered. Waiting for a case and the dock.

Here is a thread created a few days ago called "The Positive TP Thread". It's basically the same thing as this one. You can go there and read some more of people's positives about it.

This can go both ways as well though, positive or negative. More people tend to post negative stuff and not positive posts, because the positive people are playing with there TP and are to busy to post here . I don't own one yet, I am hoping today is the day though!

Yes, funny how some folks point out such things as "confirmation bias" only to... well... confirm their own negative bias. It's downright ironic.

B&H had the case in stock and it will be here tomorow.
I love everything about the TP. I've seen no lag whatsoever. The games look awesome. I plugged in the Hdmi cable and played shadowgun on my plasma tv and it looked great. The bluetooth controller from Gamestop is pretty slick also. I personally think it flies on the Internet. Page transitions are very fluid. I've read some negative comments about it's speaker but the one that it does have sounds great.

Agree. Let's all just ***** instead. Also, somebody posted this exact same link (and post) last week, as somebody else was trying to inject something positive into this den of negativity. I have to ask... Why pee on somebody's parade?
Mine is nearly flawless, and I am glad I made my purchase decision. The very few issues I have with it are due to apps stability.

that's not ironic, and I dont have any bias towards the Prime as I don't have mine yet (will by next Tuesday) so I can't judge the device negatively or positively.
But ever since I saw that word posted on this board I couldn't help but see how frequently many here are actively looking for information to fit their needs. Its an easy way to set yourself up for disappointment at worst, or be pleasantly surprised if underestimate it.

actually this thread doesn't. its more of the majority of negative threads/comments being thrown around lately. based on that definition from wiki. this tread is good and needed although there's a similar one called the positive transformer thread.
to the OP, I think from my various posts, lol, you can see that I love my device. it has been performing great and has no issues I've noticed, so far. this is way better than my Ipad all around. can't wait till developement starts, ICS, and more tegra3 games being released. this purchase was more than worth the money. I'm so glad that I didn't let the negativity, before and after release, deter me away from this device. especially since its performing so well for me right now. definitely is the best tablet out now, by far and will more than likely be that way for at least the next 4-6 months.

if you want a great volume boost to the already great sound get volume+. there's a thread on it in themes and apps section. I bit the bullet and got it last night. I confirmed the major increase in volume level with a decibel reader. it consistently showed increase in volume/decibels with speaker mod on. it ridiculous how much more louder and bass output this thing has now. and the sound was already great before. this just makes it even better. check out the thread.
lol theres a few haters on this thread eh? i just don't get why people say anything, it doesn't affect you. I guess they want to show off there e-peen.

Well, at least it's not as bad as having to buy locked-in, walled garden Apple stuff.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
Obviously it's the most "powerful" in terms of pure processing power and GPU as far as Android tablets go. But is the problems worth not buying? I will not be rooting the device as way to many problems I see on here. My question is if I leave it stock would I have some stupid issue's? I dont use bluetooth or GPS on a tablet so..
I posted this on the OG transformer forum by accident.
I KNOW there is a new TF coming out in June that will fix these issue's... But as of NOW is this a safe buy if I won't be rooting ? I will still be getting the new one later.. But need a tablet and cannot see myself going to garbage Tegra2.
Is H.profile video decoded easily with the Tegra3 vs.the 2?
Is it worth buying....?
In a word.... yes
After ASUS fixes the problems with Wifi and WiFi + BT it will be a great buy. Before that, no.

I think he was talking about poor wifi performance in some cases. I have a C10KAS that I'll hopefully return today since I can't do anything beyond 20 ft from the router. I'll try to land on a C20KAS which apparently of no issues at all on this.
@jamaicansolja: I dont get it either There are some people that have some issues with wifi stability as it seems. The same thing you see with any device in this format especially the ipad.
I didnt have any of those problems though. I always have about exactly the same connection as my phone (DesireHD, also made out of aluminum with plastic cut outs). (see attachment)
Should you get the prime? Its the best Tablet out there. So yeah go ahead I certainly am really happy with it. Of course that will change in the future, but atm there is nothing even close. And i dont think the ipad 3 will change that because iOS will stay iOS... But thats personal preference.
Same location, 7-8m away from the router (24ft?) 2 Walls in between.

Jesus...another thread like this? really?
It's pretty crazy how people are posting on a forum for the tech savvy people but have no clue how to do a search.
This message board really needs some mods.
simple answer yes. just look at the thread in my signature called Positive transformer thread. all your worries will cease afterwards .
If you don't need to take handwritten notes on it, yes it is a very good tablet. I which, there was a digitizer pen that works on the Transformer Prime.
Look dude, what you have to understand is the XDA forums (at least for the prime) has a higher concentration of people who have for whatever reason gotten bad primes. This is most likely because they are looking for answers. The prime is FLYING off the shelf and people who are happy aren't going to be as vocal as people who aren't.
I'm on my second prime and both have been great. The HDMI out port died on my first one, however, I dropped it off the back of the couch onto my kids tricycle so that may have had something to do with it.
I have never had a wifi issue at all. I get full strength in most parts of my house (I have 1.5mbps DSL connection and speed test puts my connection at 1.2mbps). The GPS on it is hit or miss, my first one didn't really work but my second (C1 s/n) works a bit better. If you want a GPS that works on the road though......put your had in your pocket and take out your phone. I've never had any random reboots with either of them. In short I've never had any problems. Its the fastest tablet out there and the best on the market. The keyboard dock is what really gives its edge. I was without one for two days and contemplated getting another until I realized there wasn't one that did everything the prime did.
If enough people complain and send their primes in for GPS issues and the problem becomes a hassle for the company they will offer a fix....I think there was a thread on here saying as much.
BUY ONE!

Why shouldn't you use it for handwriting?
I actually ordered mine for handwriting.
It's a notebook computer (with the dock) and a tablet. There's none like it. I don't need GPS on it cause I have 10 other GPS devices. Wifi is fine on mine, not any weaker than my HTC evo 3d. The good part is it can be as smooth as fast as ipad2 with a custom rom. I'm running virtuous rom. I can't complain its more sluggish or slower than ipad2 now. Functionalities on the TFP just blow ipad dead in the water. Just the browser alone is enough reason to get the TFP over the ipad2. Text reflow, flash support, bookmarks sync with chrome on your pc, quick controls on the stock browser or ice browser+ make safari look so dated, dynamically request desktop view. Complete sweatness. I don't have to go in other details of ice and android's goodness. I purposely compare it to ipad2 cause that's the strongest contender to TFP. I don't think there's a better android tablet out there.

Yes. ASUS strategically shipped all the defective devices to XDA forum members. I, for one, exchanged it 3 times and my 4th unit is also defective. Perhaps I'll ask a friend who is not a forum member to buy one for me so I get a working unit.

Are you serious can you not read and comprehend a simple paragraph. I said that the XDA forums have a higher concentration of people who have problems with their primes because they come here looking for answers.....not that asus sent bad ones only to xda members.
You know because this is a tech forum and if people with electronics have issues they come to sites like these to seek answers.....therefore these forums could have a higher concentration of people with complaints. I didn't think that needed to be explained

I would definitely buy one if they ever make one

I would definitely buy a Speck case. IMO, Speck and Incipio make the best cases, regardless of device. I had a Speck on my Dinc and always recommend Speck cases for my friends' iPhones, iPads, MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros. They know how to make a great case with plenty of protection that is still slim and provides easy use of buttons.

Problem is, I don't think EVERY prime owner uses this website. And from the responses here, it looks like this idea will be futile lol.
Nice case. Would be great to have a similar case for Prime.
Don't like the ones that we have now.. They make it thick and take to much space and the Prime original feel and look are gone because of the weird ways that the cases are done to hold, attached to Prime.

You think it would be alright to make a thread in General Forum so we can get more eyes on the topic and get more votes on the speckproducts suggestion page?
Nothing against the current offerings of cases, but they really aren't the best quality, and a lot of them are the same product sold under different brand names.
Just installed my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 in my truck. I got the holder at Padholdr.com I just received an email for a discount code, the code is "Seahawks". I love how easy the installation process was.
So is this some kind of ad spam or what?
Looks really safe bud... Giant tablet on the dash, beer can in the cup holder, what can go wrong?
It is going to be highly amusing to watch this idiot try to fit a 12.2" tablet into a 9.7" holder. :laugh:
If I was not so preoccupied with your blatant lack of any sort of observational skills, I would be pointing out to you that this is not the Galaxy Tab 4 board. Also, the tablet in the screenshot is clearly an ipad.

I wasn't aware the Tab 4 had a round button. On another look it actually looks like something else entirely, because it has two buttons, one on the bottom and one on the right. I asked, Samsung doesn't know what the hell this tablet is supposed to be.
