which would you guys prefer if they were ALL the same price?
I was thinking about pickin up a Xoom WiFi today but now that I see theres no custom roms its not even worth it I dont think...
I am waiting for the Transformer.
Already got the cash and excuse ready for the wife.

LOL, im going to just swap it out for my gTab and hope my wife doesnt realize it LOL
I guess the Xoom is a bust because of the lack of SD Card means no recovery partition or custom roms. Plus theres no Honeycomb source yet so no HC roms. Bummer! I guess my gTab will last until the transformer is opened up
Both the Xoom and the Transformer trump the gTab in pretty much every category except price and tinkerability (if that's even a word). So if they were all the same price, I'd go for the Transformer, mainly because of the screen type.
Here's my variation on the original question:
GTablet = $285
Transformer = $500
Xoom = $600
transformer. Getting tha cash and waiting for the relase in us.

this should put things in perspective.
Yeah I'd like one of the newer honeycomb tablets but not for close to 2x the cost.
If the Transformer is locked down it loses a lot of it's luster too.
The gTab is a good device that gets better when you realize how flexible it is. I am willing to bet that if Google officially released the source for Honeycomb we'd be running it already, even if it's 1/2 the price of similar tablets. (this is probably one of the reasons why Google isn't releasing the source for Honeycomb)
Nah, not paying $500 for the Transformer. $400 is tempting if tax isn't involved.
What's funny is, a week ago I would've, and was going to, pay $600 for a wifi Xoom.

I have yet read a preview that went in that sort of detail, most of the previews have been pretty high level.. ie: it has a screen! that works with touches! and it's a tablet! etc etc
I hope it's not locked down because I've always been an Asus fan and the price looks reasonable
xoom
I would go with a xoom if they were the same price. partly for the screen, but also for honeycomb. In 6-12 months there will be a lot more apps for it and will be the norm. IMO.
I'd have to go with the transformer easy..
The screen, two usb ports, sd card, doesnt it even have a card reader?
That along with the keyboard attachment, which increases battery to up to 16 hours.
All that, and it shouldn't be locked down like the moto.
The Asus Transformer is $400, not $500. And the dock is only $150 adds another 9 hours or so of battery life.

Noone knows pricing for sure. All we know is that there will be a 16gb Transformer and 32gb one. They should be $100 difference in price. The 16gb transformer would be the price point to compare to the gtablet.

Looking for recommendations of an older model tablet that I can buy and that can be rooted and loaded with custom Honeycomb rom, prefer one that supports additional storage and decent cpu.
If I could afford it I'd buy a Xoom!

Well, that's what I went with. Normally couldn't afford it myself, but Wal-Mart seems to have started carrying the WiFi Xoom as well as a few other tablets (at least around here,anyway). The Xoom was 500 bucks before tax, but everything else was 400 or less.
Hope that helps.

Just checked Walmart online - $499.00 still kinda high, that's why I'm looking for alternatives that I can load Honeycomb rom, like maybe the Viewsonic Viewpad or the Asus Eee Transformer - hovering around $370.00
So I saw over on bgr today that htc's gonna have a quad core tablet coming out in february. I'm already very enthused about the transformer prime from asus coming out next month, and wanted a few opinions. I'm debating on whether or not I'll enjoy scribe or the dock more (the promise of 18 hours of battery life is very tempting). Could I get a few transformer and flyer/evo view owners to chime in on how happy they've been with their tablets?
Do you have specs of the new HTC tablet?
I myself am probably gonna go with the Prime because of the extended battery and better IPS screen. HTC is probably going to be just Super LCD.

I wish they had specs out. all they know is that it's gonna have the tegra 3 in it. I'm kinda leaning towards the transformer... the ips display is one thing, and I really do like the form factor of it.

$499 For the T.Prime
$99 for the Keyboard Dock
$600 total.
IMHO, I'm going for the prime. I'm not sure HTC will have a good price for their upcoming tablet given the Jetstream is a hefty $700.
The Keyboard dock adds the ports & the massive boost in battery. I'm a road warrior so I'll appreciate the T.Prime more.

that 2 gigs of ram does look tempting, but I like the fact the the prime is dockable, and if I'm thinking right, is capable of 128 gigs of storage (64 built in, 32 micro sd in tablet, 32 sd in dock)
edit: or 256 if you use a 64 gig microsd and a 128 gig sd

This is the ON CONTRACT price. What are they crazy?
The prime looks really sweet! I'm going to put some blind faith in HTC though. I've allows loved how HTC's products feel, they allows feel like a really high end device. I really liked how the flyer felt in my hands when I was checking it out at best buy. I have a horrible feeling the new one is going to be super expensive though.
Al that being said I think I'm going to pick up one of the new Nook tablets because of the price and I read today that barnes and noble basicially told Micro$oft where to shove there patent licensing fees.
i'm stuck between wanting the tprime or the lenovo tablet. i mean, 2 gigs sounds sweet, but asus likes updates, and using as a laptop was really the reason i got an ipad in the first place. the only problem is the ipad can't do much. let's see if i can save up enough before release to even have a choice...
what does everyone else think?
The BGR article said the HTC tablet will be shown in February but "will launch some time before the end of the third quarter." There will be quite a few Tegra3 tablets to choose from by that time unless they release it much quicker. Hopefully they learned from that overpriced Jetstream and try to actually price competitively this time. I will be interested in hearing more on the Lenovo, but right now it looks like I am getting the Prime.

Selling my iPad 2 to get a T-Prime; this **** looks legit.
HTC Tablets have all disappointed me thus far and I'm sure the Lenovo tablet will be thick and plastic just like the last one. They have great specs but their design department sucks balls. :3 (I own a ThinkPad).
I'm a TF101 user, and love it. If it wasn't still meeting all my needs so damned well, I'd sell if for a Prime. As it stands, while the Prime specs are sweet, as fast as Asus is putting these out, by next year when my Microcenter insurance on my TF101 is almost out, Asus will have the third gen Transformer out, and I will be able to decide then whether to go with the Prime or the 3rd Gen TF. The TF101 has not failed to disappoint me, and is my primary device right now. I still have my regular Win7 laptop, but barring a few very minor shortcomings, the Transformer meets all my needs with superior battery life and a size I rather like, and I'm a university student, working on my research disertation, so my TF sees some REALLY heavy usage and document processing.
HTC makes good phones, I have the 3VO, but I don't think that I'd want the heavy UI overlays that HTC tends to put on their products, nor the price tags that tend to go with them. One of my favourite things about my TF is that it's not heavily skinned by Asus, and the UI they do have is very pleasing to the eye, without killing battery life. I'm only just now toying with the idea of rooting, but I haven't (and still don't) feel the need to root this tablet. It's so very usable thus far, and I don't have any problems with battery life or anything else. My 3VO, for the record, was promptly rooted the day I got it. Sense is pretty for a while, but just horrid on the battery, and I really prefer the vanilla Android experience.
YMMV, just my .02 on this topic. FWIW, I think any tech user should look at what they need and want from any given device, and find the one that best matches what those ideals are, regardless of brand. HTH.

Best Buy will most likely have them on launch day.. I am pretty sure they had the original Transformer released on launch day as well.. I remember this well because I figured they wouldn't sell out fast.. I was dead wrong and had to wait for months before Best Buy restocked them because they were selling so fast due to the $399.99 pricing for the originals.
Since these are $499.99 starting, they should be a little more available.. But still 32gig for $100 cheaper than iPad2's 32gb model.

Probably the point was:
iOS gaming is generally (IMO) better than Android tablet gaming (just based off of avalible games and quality)
iPad 2 has the strongest mobile GPU, by a long shot.
He didn't even like iPad 2 gaming, why would a TF Prime be better? <--- answering that, I think is what he wanted. I could be wrong, though.

I'm 99.995% certain no brick-and-mortar had the TF101 on launch day, and I highly doubt anybody will have the TF201 on launch day, either. I'd expect B&Ms to get the TF201 some time from mid Jan to mid Feb, depending on how well supply keeps up with demand online.

I suggest saving up for software that helps you to finish your sentences.
Honestly, I just (yesterday) bought the ASUS TF300 for the current advertized bundle price of $485 (after NY state tax) for the tablet AND its dock. At that price I just couldn't say no (that and chase credit card rewards dollars begging to be spent!) lol... Happy with it so far and far less than I originally spent on the Galaxy (32Gb version) when it was first launched. Even with AOKP's great build, I missed having the camera and stability on the 10.1 and I won't miss that. Plus my wife was very happy to get the 10.1 hand me down so it'll be staying in the family!
Personally, I prefer the slightly slimmer, slightly lighter build of the 10.1 as well as the 10.1 display over the TF300 but I just can't beat the price of $4xx (your tax may differ) for a Tegra 3 tablet with microSD slot and its dock with its additional battery and SD card slot!
I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about comparisons between the two...
Is it worth selling my tab to get this then

Um - maybe you should be asking yourself what you want in a tablet? Its going to be something only you can answer for yourself. Me, I was content with the 10.1 except for the delay in ICS. The chance to upgrade to the Tegra3 with the dock with the TF300 was in a way, a sideways step for me that I was happy making. But if you say, want to note take, play upcoming games, etc. the choice of tablet might change.... What are you looking to achieve?

Like other posters said, it depends on what you are looking for in a tablet, what are you going to do with it etc
I myself am not going to trade my G.Tab 10.1" 3G in for a new tablet any time soon, I am just waiting for the official ICS update, but if I had to buy a tablet RIGHT NOW and for whatever reason couldn't wait for some of the upcoming tablets, I would most probably buy a Transformer TF300 (with its dock, of course) but if I could wait for a little bit longer I would buy a Transformer Infinity or a Note 10.1" (to be sure which one I would of course have to carefully review them once they are on the market).
Anyway, whatever your situation DO NOT buy a Transformer Prime.

Seconded. I don't know why someone would still buy the prime over the TF300. Sure the TF300 is clocked a little slower (although fixable via hacks and not noticeable anyway me thinks) and a more plastic build (but on a par with the 10.1). As currently an owner of both the 10.1 and TF300 I can attest to the Wifi & bluetooth ranges (which are very important to me) being at least as good as the 10.1
It was just I got offered a good deal on my tablet meaning I would only have to pay £150 towards the transformer and not pay it till next year

Actually that's a huge pro for me, I quite dislike the feel of metal in hand and very much prefer good quality plastic but apart from this (which is subjective) using metal and glass on MOBILE devices is moronic.
It serves them right that they got these GPS and Wi-Fi issues for choosing a metal back just to copy the BS "Apple-esque premium quality materials"!

Hmmm $150 for just the prime? At that price its hard to say no - but I for one would get quickly frustrated with the wifi and GPS issues. Personally, if it was a case of keeping my 10.1 and saying 'what the hell...' for a prime for $150 I might do it. Actually that was my situation with the TF300, due to credit card rewards + a little father's day gift the TF300 only cost me $100 out of pocket so even though I was happy with the 10.1 I figured I'd give it to my wife and go for the TF300...

No no, he clearly said that he would have to trade in/sell the G.Tab AND pay £ 150 (around $ 235 or € 186).
BTW, in Italy the TF300 sells for € 399 tops ($ 504, £ 320) so that wouldn't be a good deal here..

Questions go in the Q&A section
i'd say, just wait for ICS (cause our tabs will get it eventually), and/or buy a dockable keyboard (if you really would like that anyway). there aren't really any pros on that asus model, already pointed out by fellow users of the forums.
I currently use the prime daily and i got my GF the nexus 7 for couch browsing and just to have the latest OTA's all the time. However after using it, I really am liking the portability of the size and the performance is so much fast than the prime. Just not sure if i would miss the larger screen.
Yeah, i plan on selling my Prime soon and getting a Nexus 7!
I switched--but I was having horrible problems with my prime. One nexus 7 for me. One nexus 7 for my wife.

Due to the reputation of the prime and the release of infinity, the price of the prime is below what I'd like to get out of my prime.
I was able to easily get 500 out of my first transformer on ebay, this time around not so much luck.

already purchased one through Google play. UPS showed original scan at Ky hub center @ 9:20a.m. now ups shows my device leaving KY, departure scan, @ 2:09p.m.. so its on "In Transit" status now. will arrive for delivery to me tomorrow. can't wait!
oh and im keeping both. No need to get rid of my prime since i have no issues with it. it works great
I'd love to have both, but I'm keeping my prime. The keyboard dock is far too useful to give up. Besides, I have faith in the devs

yea both sounds like a good idea.
gonna get the N7, use it for a week or two and wait to hear about JB on prime.. then sell one of the 2.
Anyone want to buy a spare Prime?
Traded in my 3G Vita on one Saturday. So far its been an absolute pleasure to own, exactly what I was expecting.
My Prime, not so much.
Sorry guys, but I see no need on having a tablet without a dock station like the asus transformer line. I mean, a tablet without USB OTG,SD and microSD card reader and mouse pad is just an expensive toy to sit in front of the TV and surf on internet while watching at it. I use my prime both at work and while at school instead of bringing a heavy, big, overheating laptop, not to mention the battery life in the prime is way better. I know , the N7 came with a very good price, and I will buy one as soon as they reach Swedish market, but as I said before, for me it will work just as a toy to surf in front of the TV, no way that it would replace the Prime.

Pretty much the same boat I am in. Buying from staples and they have a 14 day return policy (I think). Not sure if selling my prime would be worth it at this point.

I am on it right now and I have to say it just outperforms the prime. Idk if its jb or what but everything is just after on the n7
The N7 doesnt seem to have these strange lags caused by the internal memory speed.
Also it scores way better in the benchmarks...
good thing: it uses the same memory as the prime! on paper the same speed ...

lets hope for jellybean and kernel upgrade anywhere soon!
I think what it boils down to is, get what you want period. If you love the prime and it works for you then keep it, want the infinity or 7 then get it.
Nothing is worse than having a tablet and not want it, or you are dissatisfied with it, for whatever reason. Flip side, nothing is better than having a device and really like it.
The prime really doesn't do it for me, I thought it would (it's still is the best looking tablet out bar none) but it just doesn't. In the end I treat it like a business decision, I thought it would be good and it tuned out for me different. Now I'm trying to sell it and move on.
I started using windows 8 and I knew my next tablet device would have it 8 on it. I like everything about it. I think it's the better OS for me and my situation. I could go on an on bashing Asus, but why? I've found what works best for me. But that's just me...
I owned a Galaxy Tab 7" and a PlayBook prior to getting the Prime, and I'm considering the Nexus, but I found the 7" tabs to be too small for web browsing. Personally, I think the Galaxy Tab 8.9" is the best size.
Plus, it's another ASUS product. (My Prime's currently RMA'd to fix the rear camera issue).
I wish HTC had built the Nexus 7. The Nexus One was the best.
