I bought a cable by Plugable Tech and it works great!

I agree with the above post. I am getting this one as we speak. Hopefully a little band aid for the wifi issues until they come out with a wifi dongle of sorts
anything as small and lightweight like the Belkin that doesn't cost $25?

Hey guys, my tablet is still on order at Best Buy *knocks on wood* it is truly horrible that orders are getting canceled :-\
I keep reading that the Prime will support the PS3 controller natively does that mean it will work via bluetooth with the tablet itself or will it have to be plugged into the dock with a usb cable? I did not order the dock because I don't really have the need for it at the moment. This is my first tablet so sorry if this is common knowledge lol. Thanks for the help

bluetooth seems most logical
They said it would work wirelessly. If even not by bluetooth you could just get little wireless USB piece to put in USB port of it or docked still be wireless. I know they were using that for the logitech wireless controller they were using. Bit supposedly honeycomb/ICS supports wireless gamepads like PS3, xbox 360, wii, n others Through BT anyways.
Cool thanks for the info!

Ps3 controller uses bluetooth only. I don't see how it can connect otherwise
You might want to read this thread, it appears that app support is a bigger problem than connecting the controller http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371273

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else...
Fortunately, Asus makes a micro-HDMI-to-VGA adapter cable for the TP:
http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Accessories/Eee_Pad_Accessories/Micro_HDMI_to_VGA_cable/
So, is this *included* with the TP? I would hope so, but...
If it *isn't* included (!), where can it be purchased? I have seen no listings at all (yet) online anywhere.
As of right now they basically have no accessories for it out and no it is not included but I belive it is the same one as the Tf101 adapter...? Or the slider... Just search for eee pad hdmi-vga adapter

The only thing I have read so far is to be careful about purchasing the *wrong* adapter i.e. apparently the TF101 uses a 'mini-HDMI' port, whereas the TF201 uses a 'micro-HDMI' port.
Unfortunately, I seldom see companies supplying adaptors in the box with the device - they make more money selling it separately plus, this is a very uncommon cable. Vga is used much less often than hdmi...if ANYTHING maybe just a micro hdmi cable.

Since the VGA adapter for the TF201 is no where to be found, I was wondering if anyone has used this adapter with their Prime.

I believe it is for the TF101. I just wanted to make sure it would work before I order it.
I appreciate any feedback!

Nope. The prime has Micro-HDMI, not Mini.

Thanks for the reply! I realize I would have to get a mini to micro hdmi adapter, but I was wondering if it would work with the right adapter. I have read that some folks have had success with an HP hdmi-Vga adapter, so I thought the tf101 adapter might work for the Prime.
One thing to consider, depending on what you are using the vga for, is screen resolution. Most lcd projectors are in xga format (1024x768), but the Prime has either 720 or 1080p output. If you don't have something to scale the resolution, it probably won't work well.

If you decide to give it a try, at least get it for cheap

Just got this adapter deliver from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M8I0R...iveASIN=B003M8I0RM&adid=1VQXRP85656ACXRE25ZW&
Plugged it in, message popped up "Ethernet Port is detected"
Plugged my network cable in, and another message said that Ethernet DHCP was connected.
Done - no drivers, no setup or anything. Of course, this probably needs the new update from yesterday, but if you need a cheap and simple ethernet option, this is it!
I got one from monoprice for around $7. Worked OK before the update. Works great now.

What speed can Prime handle? Is the max around 30mbps up and down or what can the network card handle when using cable?
Same as WIFI max or can it go faster when using cable?
