Prime "Transformer" Sounds for Docking / Undocking Keyboard - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I am really excited about the Asus Transformer Prime, and check the status of my TigerDirect order almost daily. I also ordered a dock and was wondering if there was a way to integrate the sound from the original Transformers cartoon into the docking process.
After some searching, I found an application on the Android Market called Soundify. It allows you to customize the sounds for various events, such as docking a device, and already has some Transformer sounds built in along with Star Wars, Star Trek, and Harry Potter.
I also found two distinct Transformer sounds, and asked the developer to integrate them both into the application. One could be used for docking the keyboard, the other for un-docking it.
Here are the sound files:

Excited for the Prime to get here. This is such a simple find, but it made my day

Cool

I must say that I do prefer this sound: http://www.zedge.net/ringtone/1420852/droid-transformers/?updPhone=5494 It's way more 'realistic'. It took a while for me to find it, so am glad to share it here.

[Q] An ASUS transformer keyboard for gtab?

Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker but never really posted that much.
i was wondering if there was any way that the ASUS transformer keyboard can be hacked with the gtab dock adapter? I dont im alone in this, or if not that do you think there will be some third party who would make one? I think the sale on woot and now amazon might help push manufactures to make it.
Its very less likely that the keyboard would work due to the proprietary connector.
That said, a blutooth keyboard with a 10" enclosure should work no problem, and I see many manufacturer going into this once the transformer style become popular.
There is nothing unique about the eee keyboard the convertible style keyboard was already available for IPAD2 long before any one knew about the EEE.

I just love the idea that I can have a netbook and a tablet and switch at my convenience. The links that you posted is exactly what I am looking for. Is there anything in that style that will fit the Gtab?

unfortunately not that slick, you currently can go with the clip cases with USB or BT keyboards, they are very campy compared to this (well at least the USB version doesn't cost that much).
That said, I think with the huge recent surge in GTab owners, I don't think it would be that before some go on and make a professionally looking case like the ones quoted above (esp if the EEE transformer goes popular)
Crossing my fingers to that! I've spent a lot of time looking at everything that is currently available for our G tabs, and nothing seems "professional"; instead it all looks slapped together. Engadget has been posting a few articles about the G tab and with the lower price and the over clocking kernels....
Here me hoping that some third party shines some light back in Viewsonic's direction.

swiftpoint mouse on xformer

saw this on costcos website and looks like a treat for the transformer, what u guys think? check out the video aswell
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11649262&whse=BC&topnav=&cat=30731&b=1&lang=en-US
just got this in the mail today and its the best investment so far for the xformer next to the dock, also uses original mouse pointer with 3.2 and plenty of space on the tablet to put clear mat
Some website reviewed this mouse. Think it was either Engadget or Slashgear. Anyways, good idea, I had totally forgotten about this mini-mouse.
here is a quick youtube video I found for those that might be interested:

Though interesting, I don't think it's for me. I'll live with touching the screen or using the the track pad.

Transformer Prime Champagne Gold impressions

Transformer Prime Champagne Gold impressions
Well, as karma has it, I was able to get a 32GB Champagne Gold Transformer Prime, with the dock, last Friday and played with it over the weekend.
I was worried about many of the problems people were reporting and I was slightly afraid when starting up the device, I did not want to see bad light bleeds or dead pixels and so on. While the tablet itself ended up being perfect, I was still hit with a crippling bug of the keyboard dock not being able to be used for typing at all.
I found it almost ironic that I ended up with a serious flaw like that. I really thought that forums give a wrong impression about ASUS quality control, but reality is that it really is very, very bad. It is almost like gambling, chance that you'll get a functioning device without flaws that will annoy you from the very beginning, are very low.
I'll get the device replaced and essentially add to the pile of devices that are being returned to ASUS. But that aside, here are my impressions about the tablet, since I did use the tablet without the keyboard quite a bit.
Champagne Gold is absolutely beautiful in real life. It is a really attractive looking device, it's not as 'white' as Apple's aluminum devices are and is so much better for it with the slight golden gue making it look less clinical. Pictures don't do it justice, Champagne Gold Transformer Prime is the best looking tablet I've held in my hands.
The build is also very sturdy. I am glad I did not go for one of the plastic built tablets of yesteryear as I really love the feel of the tablet when I hold it. It is slightly heavier than I expected but only because I've never used tablets this extensively before.
Of course this design has its drawbacks, such as very weak GPS, but I tend to use my phone for GPS due to assisted GPS from cell towers, which is just much quicker. As for WiFi issues, I did not notice any, but I also did not run any speed tests. I mostly make the tablet use my phone as source of internet and it didn't have any problems doing so.
The first bootup ran Honeycomb and I immediately noticed that it simply did not run smoothly despite quad-core processing power driving it. But I liked the screen and after wiping the screen properly, touch responsiveness was good.
A mere 15 minutes later the device had updated itself to Android 4.0 and I had no stutter or lag issues anymore when moving around the menus or using the browser.
The screen is really beautiful and bright with good contrast. And the external sound is better than I expected. I watched the new 30 Rock episode with girlfriend on a couch and it was a nice experience, much better than trying to hold a laptop comfortably while watching a show. MX video player works very well on Prime, I watched Boardwalk Empire on my way back home on a train and it is a great device for extended viewing. It is amazing how much more natural it feels to watch series or movies on a tablet device like this as opposed to laptop.
Most apps seem to run quite well on Prime. But Android has its drawbacks on tablets, a lot of really great looking games do not have HD versions, making them look less attractive on the screen. Some of my favorites such as truly amazing World of Goo and Cut the Rope worked well on Prime, but their beautiful art was stretched to full screen, making the games look less magical than they felt when I was playing them on my Galaxy Nexus phone (which has a similar resolution to Prime, but far smaller screen).
I tried to use my tablet as a netbook, but without working keyboard I coould not really give it as much of a go as I hoped. But browsing around in the internet was fast and smooth and I really like Android for a tablet OS.
Battery lasted less than I hoped, but I cannot say it was bad since I did not charge it enough times for it to live up to its full potential. But I did not have to charge it while I was using, so it did not cause any battery stress.
I also liked that ASUS does not enforce its things on the user. Majority of pre-installed apps can be disabled and ASUS own enhancements are good for the device. They did not add anything that felt like bloatware.
As for the screen, yes it is certainly a fingerprint magnet. It does not bother me until I start watching a movie or whatnot. Makes me feel like I should clean it up because it simply is dirty (even when hands are less oily and have recently been washed).
Is this the best tablet I have ever used? Not really, iPad 2 is still a better media and content consumption device and I find Prime a much less comfortable to use when held in portrait mode as opposed to iPad 2 (but of course widescreen videos are much better on Prime as a result). But I can really see how the keyboard dock can enhance the Prime experience enough for me to never consider iPad 3, even if it comes out with HD screen and even better battery life.
I should also make additional note about the keyboard dock. I don't find the build of the keyboard dock to be as good as I hoped, it angles up really awkwardly on the Prime when screen is lifted, the back hinge is basically the thing it starts 'resting' on and differently from the rubber it rests on in front of the dock, the back rests on plastic knob-thingies, which have less grip. So on a less sturdy surface or when typing, the device is prone to move a lot more than you'd expect.
To sum things up, ASUS did a good job at everything except quality control and body design for GPS. If it had 3G, better WiFi and functioning GPS I would easily grade it the best tablet ever, but right now I don't see iPad 2 being actually dethroned before the end of this year where Google's rumoured tablet and possibly another Transformer can really kick things up a notch.
2012 is the year of 4G and HD screens on tablets, but I must say I did not really think Prime needs a HD screen. It is not because it would not look more beautiful - it would and I can easily see pixels when reading the web on Prime - but I just think that Android market won't catch up to HD apps before 2013. Today most apps look stretched and the apps that don't, do not seem to need HD anyway.
But yes, a wonderful device, just make sure to not throw away the box and other items so you can quickly refund, since chance has it that it might come with a hardware flaw or two.
Nice well written review.
Got it exchanged and keyboard works now! By the way, those wishing to buy it in Estonia, it seems to be sold downtown in both Euronics and Klick stores. Can't be bought online yet and seems to be only the champagne gold 32gb model.
Thx for the review man
On thing i want to add though: You have to compare the transformer prime to the ipad2 wifi only. If you want to compare it at all. And that device has no gps module at all, so a more or less working gps is still better than none at all.
But those comparisons are fundamentally flawed imho. I buy a device because of its features. iPad and TP offer very different things which results in the situation that there are fans of one device (because it has everything they wish for) and fans of the other one debating which one is better...
In the end there is only "whats better for you" and never "whats better for everyone". For me its clearly the Prime.
Dude i get carried away again. My Prime shall arrive! NOW!
I'm with you with the Champagne Gold color.
The photos online do not give justice to the Champagne Gold color as it is absolutely beautiful in real life.
The Gold hue does not overpower the Aluminum Color and has a rather subtle hint to it.
Excellent review. A good model for all to follow!
My "purplish" grey one is to arrive tomorrow....wish I could have ordered the champagne colour. I'll probably end up putting a skinomi skin on the back as I'm not really into the purple tones...plus, I heard the aluminum scratches easily.
i haven't read the full review... but you found a gold dock in stores? or online? where? i didn't even think it existed.

I'm using a Champagne Prime mated with a Gray dock. I actually like the look better than a matched set. Something to think about if you can't find a Champagne dock...

Just as an FYI, your prime screen is capable of 720p hd video playback, just not 1080p. still HD, just not the best HD. Great review though.

ASUS is selling 32GB Champagne Gold TF201's in Estonia, it's the EU version (tablet and dock in one). And it is also localized, with local adapter and US keyboard that has russian letters in the corner (we also have a large number of russians living here).

It seems that ASUS did not just do a UK launch, it was an EU launch and a lot of tablets are being sold in various countries, often without advertisements. Here we have Champagne Gold one, sold 2-in-1, dock and tablet. I haven't seen Amethyst Grey being sold anywhere here (and we seem to have two chains selling TF201's without ads at the moment).
It just shows how little this tablet is really known outside these forums and tech world. People don't know about it. Stores don't even know that they have the hottest Android tablet on their shelves.

Well, true, but it is worth a comparison simply because you would not own a Prime and an iPad 2 together, they overlap in functionality. I will still recommend iPad 2 to anyone who is not a tech person as I believe that today it is a better device for content consumption and don't believe Android will catch up in app-market with HD apps and experience at least until 2013.
I am really neutral in that opinion here, I own an Android 4.0 phone and tablet now, I love Android. But today iPad 2 is a better tablet for an average person even if you don't consider GPS, WiFi quality or 3G existence important.
I would not buy Android for my grandparents, if I had to choose I would buy them iPad 2.
But anyways, I love it. Those of us who know tech and prefer Android, this is a brilliant device if your device does not have issues resulted from bad quality control.

Think you might struggle to use this as a laptop replacement - depending on what you use your laptop for.
Yes, it's called tethering - setting your phone up as a wifi hotspot then connecting your tablet to it. No bluetooth needed. However, some Prime users report issues with this since the ICS update.
And more opinions!
I've had the chance to use the keyboard dock for a while, as well as test out a variety of apps. Some apps are much better in HD on a tablet, this surprised me quite a bit. For example IMDB app is really good on tablet and gMail (and really, all Google apps) is very high quality.
Apps run quickly and without problems. I also haven't noticed any problems with the tablet I got for exchange, no dead pixels. There's faint backlight bleed near one corner but I can not notice it while using a tablet unless brightness setting is too high and screen itself full of black colors.
As for the keyboard. I really love that it is Android focused keyboard. The keys make sense and are intuitive. It really is the first time I've felt comfortable with a keyboard that is similar to old school Windows keyboards, while never making me feel like it is one of those 'modified' PC keyboards. The top row buttons are all very useful, there are no bloated keys.
At first I wished there was 'recent apps' key, but there isn't. Alt+Tab does exist, but since there is no Alt key on the left hand side of the keyboard, you have to use two hands for it (I always Alt+Tab with left hand on my PC). So that's a bit annoying.
Keyboard itself is comfortable to write on if you've used smaller netbooks before. It takes a short time getting used to since at first you expect keys to be further apart, but adjustment does not take long. Feel of the keys is really good and they are well built, I like that spacebar, while long, goes down on both sides if you only press on one side. While it seems simple and does not look as expensive as Macbook Air keyboard, it feels really well built.
The dock also protects the tablet really well. The keys are not elevated on the dock, so they don't touch or get close to tablet screen and leave marks of any kind on the screen in the long run (this happened with my nice Compaq netbook 311C that had a beautiful LED screen that just looked worn thanks to keyboard after a while). Dock is also separated from the tablet with little rubber knobs
The touchpad is basically pointless, I am not sure why it is even needed, but I like that it is there in case I ever would need it. Using screen touch is simply faster, since apps are usually built keeping that in mind. Touchpad is just slower in comparison. I did however find it helpful when writing a lot of text and needing to correct something. It is also great that you can turn the touchpad off so it doesn't activate by accident while you are typing.
Certain apps are also less-keyboard friendly. While typing is supported all around, certain apps are less friendly when it comes to common usability features such as tab key changing selected input field (like going from username to password). You cannot really use the tablet without resorting to touching the screen every now and then, but I must admit that it is better than I originally expected. I actually like having the keyboard on, since on-screen keyboard is really something I don't like to resort to.
I did notice that capacitive pens are not very good on Transformer Prime screen. I have cleaned the screen very well, but capacitive pens are not sensed unless brushing them more noticably against the screen. The pen is a high quality one originally built for iPad 2 by Bamboo, worlds leading company when it comes to graphic tablets. I guess the non-air-pad type capacitive pens would work better though.
For some other things that are not as perfect as they could be, there is a very tiny amount of lag in the system at times when using the keyboard. It is certainly not as responsive as a keyboard should be if you, say, played competitive first person shooter games. But it doesn't really annoy and some apps are better than others at it. This will possibly improve even further with newer Android or firmware updates since it is not a hardware issue at all.
One thing I can tell you though is that TF201 makes quite an impression. I've shown it to two friends and the dock really makes the tablet. It takes away one of the most uncomfortable things about tablets - typing on that awkward screen - as well as offers natural protection without needing a case to protect the screen. Two of my friends who played with it were very impressed. If there's an Android device to wow people who only really know about iPad, it is not good to show the tablet without the dock - since it is just too similar - but the dock helps it really set it apart.

When using it as a replacement for a netbook, the device works really well. But one has to keep in mind that it is a content-consumption device. You can draw sketches here or write essays, but it is really something that you should consider as a replacement for netbook if you mostly watch movies or surf the internet on your netbook. You are still faster with a netbook if you need to do more intensive work.
But pay attention that I said 'netbook', not laptop. Laptop is still a better device, if you don't have a desktop PC, then I suggest keeping laptop around, since at times it is simply needed to 'create' more than consume. You cannot develop on Android, really edit videos or photoshop pictures or do extensive office work.
When it comes to sharing the internet then yes, I have an unlimited data plan on my phone so I can easily tether my 3G connection. It is not as fast as tablet itself having a 3G, but it is still quite good. I don't stream videos on my tablet usually or if I do, I have a better WiFi connection somewhere. For on-the-go use, it works really well.

Some people also requested I post a picture of the dock that has Russian letters. It is a US dock, but if you select Russian as Android language, you can easily use the dock as well, since it shows where the letters are located. For Estonians (if any of you are out there), there is no Estonian layout supported sadly and from what I was told, there won't be one. Contents of the TF201 box however are Estonian, it has Estonian manual and everything.
Why was this thread moved to 'accessories'?

Thanks for this info. But I have a question, sorry my stupidity. What does "it shows where the letters are located" mean? There is no secondary letter set on a US keyboard dock (you said it is a US dock). And the only way in my opinion is - to have a Russian phonetic layout added to ASUS keyboard, so it will be possible to use US dock and type in Russian for those do not remember by heart location of Russian "QWERTY" layout ("ЙЦУКЕН"). I am looking desperately for this possibility - with Russian phonetic layout for ASUS keyboard life will be perfect . I can type Russian using on-screen keyboard but this is not nice when using dock. If you have any info about this - it will be very helpful.
Thanks

In the keyboard dock picture he attached you can see the actual Russian phonetic layout on the buttons, so it's not exactly the US dock, but like a US dock with Russian phonetic layout added to the buttons.

[Q] TF201 Dock, or BT Keyboard

I wanted to buy the prime keyboard dock today, but I'm wondering if a bluetooth keyboard, mouse kit would be better. Does anyone use a 3rd party keyboard/mouse combo, BT or otherwise?
I plan on using my prime with a desk, not so much on the go. As the touch screen virtualboard is fine on the go.
Not so much a $ issue as being more comfortable, creating documents, emails, researching, etc.
Any ideas, or experience would be greatly appreciated.
If its not $ issue might as well get a dock with full USB and SD card support with extended battery and uses the same charger. Its also nice that the dock has a home, back, sleep buttons. And the dock can be your stand that allows the tablet to be angled at any angle for the most part. Doest do 180 degrees though.

I've never used a Bluetooth keyboard so not sure there but the keyboard dock works great. I personally thought about getting a Bluetooth keyboard but Im glad I got the dock.
One of the "stickies" is about Bluetooth & WiFi....don't know if a keyboard would fall into that issue category or now....I have the dock and love it....wouldn't go for a bluetooth keyboard at all....+ I'm sure at sometime or other, there will be pairing or connection issues....since the dock is a "plug-in"....no issues
Plus, less to carry around....dock protects the screen when closed.
Check out the "Dock Club" thread

Bob
Had a bt keyboard for a while. It absolutely sucked. Lag from it being bt made it horrible. Tried 2 and they sucked. I ended up getting the asus dock and after about an hour of use with all the features asked myself wtf? Why didnt i do this sooner, lol
Theoretic the Asus doc is perfect because of the extra battery, Android keys etc. but it definitely is responsible in a certain amount for cracked screens. And Asus doesn't seem to stand behind their product and repair it under warranty...the doc is a perfect tool until it cracks the screen...

[Q] New tablet stand design ideas?

Hey everyone,
I'm Jonathan i design and produce products for a living, im constantly frustrated at the majority of companies only making beautiful accessories for Apple products while us Android lovers always suffer with cheap Chinese crap. I want to change that.
I'm designing a new high end range of tablet, phone and headphone stands for the Xperia and other android tables and would really appreciate you input?
I want to make what you want!
I love aluminium (not an apple fan) and want to CNC metals as much as possible.
Firstly i want to design an xperia tablet stand, so can you all give me your inputs on features etc?
Examples: -
1 - do you want a minimalist design or a complex design?
2 - do you want the tablet to simply rest on the stand or use the likes of the micro suction pads to firmly hold it in place?
3 - do you want the stand to be portable/foldable etc?
4 - What colours do you want the stand to come in?
5 - What do you want the stand to do that other stands don't?
6 - I'm all ears!!!
I look forward to hearing everyone's comments. Feel free to PM me with ideas, concepts etc. If you have an actual design and its awesome i would be happy to discuss a royalty fee per sale etc.
Regards
Jonathan.
Hi Jonathan
good to here ... what I am looking for with my xperia tablet Z is a keyboard that can transform the tab into a notebook and extend the battery life (transformer tablets)...
thin & beautiful as possible......

HI Mike,
Thanks for your comments. I want to try and keep things simple to start with, although i too would like a good keyboard for my Z. I want to focus on products i can CNC, products that make using your tablet at home and in the office simple.
Cheers
I will get back to you with my idea on a holder to put a keyboard (USB or Bluetooth) and the tab.....
1) minimalistic
2) allowing HDMI connectivity (-> using bottom USB port to charge, etc)
3) black matte pseudo - rubber

Well, first off, I like inexpensive Chinese stuff because it's inexpensive, looks decent, and does the same job as a $60 product. You could burn through 5 of the things (if you're some kind of madman that drags the tablet through the jungle) and still pay less than a single "high end" item.
That said, the only reason I'd pay a bunch of money for simply a stand is if it looks really frikkin' cool and it's functional. If it looks like every other stand I'd rather just use a decorative plate/dish holder for 50 cents and call it a day. Actually, looking at dish stands wouldn't be a bad idea, they have collapsible designs which may give you ideas.
I dig sci-fi designs for their "coolness" and industrial designs for their rugged look. Metal plating, gratuitous use of rivets and caution stickers, stick a propeller on there and you have a stunt plane lol
Suction pads? I don't think they're necessary. If you're using a stand, chances are you're on stable ground and don't need them; in other words, you aren't riding a horse or something. If you're in a situation that requires suction cups, you're probably not going to enjoy viewing the tablet anyway and are safer just holding it so it doesn't bounce away.
Anyway, thanks for making stuff for non-pad users
Keepem coming
HI Guys thanks for the feedback, its really important to know what the customer wants.
Please push this thread to everyone that isn't an iPad sheep lover, the more feedback i get the better the product i can design.

You know what, I think a charging dock that can hook onto the tablet while on a stand position would be a good idea. Whenever I use my tablet to watch movies using my case as a stand, the usb port is obstructed. I am afraid that one day I will break the port.. A charging block (magnetic and using pogo pins would be a great idea.. )...
I´m very interestet in your project and thought about a nice dock by myself.
I would like to have an notebook like dock, too.
Maybe your could CNC an main dock in which you could fit in bluetooth keyboard.
It would also be nice to have the usb port extended to so side of the keyboard base just like a normal notebook.
1 - do you want a minimalist design or a complex design?
Minimalistic
2 - do you want the tablet to simply rest on the stand or use the likes of the micro suction pads to firmly hold it in place?
Simply rest using the pogo pins used for charging instead of the micro usb port.
3 - do you want the stand to be portable/foldable etc?
Not necessarily
4 - What colours do you want the stand to come in?
Mate black or black and white
5 - What do you want the stand to do that other stands don't?
Maybe the ability to plug the dock to the audio port of the tablet and the dock to a stereo. I'm not sure I explained myself with this one.
Also an NFC tag could be useful for putting the tablet to daydream mode or turning off all sounds.
6 - I'm all ears!!!

Hi knightrider66
I my have something here about a cover for the tab and for my bluetooth keyboard for know that can be use like a laptop |I have a ed model I'm still looking at the hinge system but can forward you pictures.

let me know
thanks
heres my work so far on a cover laptop look alike for the tap Z and a bluetooth keyboard. need some more work on the hinges system and the travel system. this design make the tab usable like a laptop and a tab by sliding the tab over the keyboard. also I am looking at the capability to connect directly to the tab usb and so how to the side connection for charging.
