Starting to see a lot more sites giving the prime the recognition it deserves, seems to be holding up fairly well compared to the pad which shall not be named.
Personally i love my prime and its ease of customization.

Yeah for sure. Also once these new socs come out and fall short of their performance and or their power goals then prime or infinity will really take off.
The funny thing is it won't really matter who has higher performance as much as who has more optimized software. Nvidia should definitely be trying to gain as much ground as possible when it comes to getting optimized software.

True.
I would think Nvidia should know more about the need to optimize more than just about anyone considering their history/track record with video chipsets and drivers.

Because it's ROOTED, has great devs building stable ROMs, and killer KERNELS!!!! Seriously, side by side, the Nexus is that much faster....
Don't get me wrong, I love the Prime and I'm not sending it back, but keep up the spam campaign for an unlocked bootloader.

No, because it has good software running on it. Besides that the Prime runs still HC oposing to Nexus' ICS, the Prime's HC build is just crap. It's not well optimized at all. Even some Tegra 2 devices with HC are faster.
So I just returned my prime to best buy because of some minor problems. If they had one to exchange I probably wouldn't be making this post. But now that they aren't really in stock anywhere I may just wait for the iPad 3. Now I'm really not trying to troll or anything but do you guys think I should wait? Or just tell me I'm being stupid and should come to my senses.
After using an Android tablet and then going back to an iPad 2, I hated how limited it felt in comparison.

You're being stupid and should come to your senses.
Considering you said you returned it for minor issues, I wouldn't get another one.

My thoughts exactly - the Prime is definitely not the tablet to get if you're a perfectionist...

But then he will need to wait another 4-6 months.. I don't think he is going to do that if he is considering an iPad 3 which comes out earlier anyway.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Android tablet and iPad. One is for grown ups, while other is for kids who do not know any better or for people who think that getting "BT Transfer" in latest OS update is the latest feature in mobile world

There should be quite a few 1080p tabs to choose from in the coming months.
Ive got a Prime also and far from impressed main issue for me is poor wifi which is useless for my intended use of travelling.

how about you act like an adult and make a decision?
i'm getting really tired of this "living by comittee" lifestyle that people are starting to adopt.
purchasing something as frivalous as a tablet comes down to a very unique (to the purchaser/user) set of critera as to what they should buy and what they consider value for their dollar.
if there were still any hidden mysteries as to what this particular tablet brings (in both the good and bad) to the table, i would be more compassionate towards the question of the OP, but the pros and cons of this tablet have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum, if one cannot make up their mind at this point on their own by reading, then no one can help them.

Which? Tell me. It will really take some time before they are actually available in the stores. And if you want some quality tablet you would not want to go with Acer. Lenovo is overpriced. Samsung, Asus, Apple are the one's who make the best tablets in my eyes.
And no, I don't had any of those WiFi/GPS/BT issue's with my Prime so I also put Asus there because with my tablet it was very solid build, had a good feel etc. etc. Same for the TF101.
I had to return mine to best buy because it was stuck in the ICS rebooting loop. I just ordered another one today from office dept. If ICS and wifi work and there are no screen issues I'm keeping it.

Absolutely correct. There is definitely a reason business, major medical institutions, educational institutions and the U.S. military have contracts in place with Apple.

I would go for the Transformer Prime TF700T in Q2 if WiFi and GPS will be better as that is what the Prime should have been.

Somehow I doubt a lot would regret waiting the few months for one that does get addressed properly compared to the one that doesn't due to its design.
I dont care if you return it,keep it or get something else. Im sick of dumb posts like this cluttering up the forum.

I have an iPad 2 and I don't mind the lack of customization to be honest. I kinda like the feel of ios.
So I received my Transformer Prime today and am having wifi issues (very poor connection strength). Also, I have a group of very bright pixels on the screen.
I know there is a new Transformer tablet in the works that has significantly better specs...so I'd be best to wait. In the meantime, I found a mint TF101 with docking keyboard for $350. Everything checks out and it seems like a great package for the price. This coupled with ICS arriving in two weeks for the TF101 makes it a reasonable decision to return the defective Prime and get this original TF101 w/keyboard.
Is this a good move? I've never owned the original Transformer and hope that it is plenty fast to play flash content. Anyone care to offer a POV on this decision?
I plan on getting the newer Transformer in Q2 when it's rumored to release.

I have both and the OG TP is pretty damn laggy even with a 1.65 OC.
That + the random reboots and freezes makes in a no go for me.
I did it and am happy with my decision. Wifi is crazy strong and the device is plenty fast.
Wake me up when the new Transformer is released. The Prime isn't ready for prime time IMO.

How exactly does this help the problems persisting in many of the Transformer Primes? (Note my Wifi/BT is working perfectly)

cloud5 already beat you to it. this morning I think..lol. you do keep the news coming though. if you find any tegra4 updates, let me know
it doesn't sound all too familiar. Look at that rapid response. That's an internal Apple memo
It took how long for ASUS to acknowledge the Transformer Primes defects? all we got was a guy name Gary collecting info.
Lol...i love that the memo says "DO NOT DISCLOSE EXTERNALLY".
That tickles my fancy. The pic was taken with a galaxy nexus i believe LOOOOOOOOOOL

these two brands right now i think has some of the best android tablets out there right now, if i were to go with asus i would probably get the tf300 or the tf700 infinity, maybe the tf201 prime but the inifnity is the one i want most but is kind of pricey, and if i went with acer it would be the acer a510 or the a700 they both have very good battery life but get very heat, i read somewhere, so which tablet should i get? please dont have to much of a bias towards asus. i want it to be fair, im getting rid of my iconia a500 i want a tegra 3 tablet
Asus for me love it
Asus all the way.

Well for me it would come down to the Infinity or the A700. Prime would be out of the question because it is apparently gonna be the same price as the Infinity. But out of the A700 and the TF700t, the TF700T would have to win. Its much nicer looking in my opinion and I have heard the A700 can be a bit laggy running the 1080p screen.
Hope this helps.
Do the Acer tablets have the I/O problem? All the Asus tablets have terrible I/O performance because of software and slow internal memory. That causes lag everywhere when an application saves or reads data from internal flash memory.
samsung
The new Toshiba AT300 (in the U.S. Excite 10) also get good reviews.
I guess it's basically the question, do you want the keyboard dock or not...
If you do, asus is the only real option atm afaik... If not I'd seriously consider acer. (Owning a TF101 and TF201 myself btw).
