If anyone is interested I am selling my Sony Tablet S, matching doc and associated USB cables. I would like to get $300 shipped for it, if you are interested please leave a message here and email me at [email protected]
Would you be willing to sell your dock or cables separately?

I had been trying to find out what type of port the Viewsonic G Tablets docking port was and couldn't find the answer on the web. But i kept looking at it and couldnt help but see that it looked alot like the iphones charging port. So i tried a stock apple usb charging cable and to my disappointment it didn't fit. But for the sake of curiosity and frustration over not having a docking station that was easy to get in the U.S. I tried wearing down the sides of my old plastic energizer portable charger adapter for the iphone and after some work it fit. The pins even seemed to line up right with each other. My only problem is that i have no way to test if i actually works. So if anyone has and old usb iphone cable and dremel to grind down the sides like i did you can test to see if it is the iphone stock charging port customized not to fit the iphone cable. If anyone tries this please post back because i'm ordering cables to try it myself.
I will buy one Ipad cale to test.
I will buy one 30pin-HDMI adapter for Ipad to test if it is suitable for Malata Zpad..
Not sure if yo have seen the threads but there is a dock available and the same company is still working on a straight cable for hdmi out.
We will keep you guys posted on developments as you are not the only ones wanting them. Keep an eye out for docks here in the next few days.

The dock is available from some distributors in china and made for the ZPAD by Malata (I think). I got one last week and all tested well.
I'm hearing that there may be a few dock floating around here soon for quicker purchase in the US but don't know much more than that.... yet.

Nope... We have all tried over and over with no luck. it's a proprietary cable that took developers a long time just to get the hdmi out

Get a ready made HDMI docking port
Go to merimobiles.com and order a Malata HDMI docking station for the Malata and Viewsonic gtablet. It's 45.50 US including freight.
I ordered mine on Sept. 6th. got it Sept 20th certified mail from merimobiles.com.
I have tried 3 different brands of USB 2.0 cables and come to the conclusion that only true USB 3.0 would work with the TF (though I would LOVE to be proven wrong).
Where are people getting their extension cables? I refuse to believe that people are living with this horribly short charging cable. It doesn't even reach from my outlet to my desk without an extension cord.
Normally I buy cables like this from Monoprice or DealExtreme or dollar stores, but in this case i would rather find one that someone knows works. I have checked in The Source and Future Shop and could not find any USB 3.0 extension cables.
There is a thread about it called "Short Cable".
Some have bought from amazon.com. Some from Monoprice.
Since I'm in Canada as well, I saw some at Canada Computers and are $10 for 3ft and 13 for 6ft.
I'm taking a chance with Dealextreme for $5.80.
extension cable
i bought mine at Tiger direct store in toronton.

Good to know, might get that one.
Bought the 6 ft at Canada Computers ican brand and it works for me.
I ordered one from Dealextreme so I'll let you know if that works as well.
I wish they come in black.
I ended up ordering one from monoprice... I'll report back after getting it.
Is it possible to purchase a spare USB Connector Cable without the wall charger?
I want to get a few spares - to keep one at work, and maybe a couple at home.
Any Ideas?
I saw some on eBay for about 10 bucks. No US sellers though.

Yeah.. A bunch of Chinese knock offs but they're just 40pin connectors. I'd rather pay 10$ for one on ebay than 30-40 for an OEM Asus cable..

10. TABLET - USB Cable
USB Cable (3 Feet) - $18
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?..._detail&p=4067
USB Cable (5 Feet) - $20
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?..._detail&p=4293
I purchased and have received two of the 5 ft USB cables.
18$ 3' cable is a ripoff lol
I've been using "Chinese" made type cables for years just because I can buy like 10 of them for the price of one OEM type. And they do actually work. I bought some Apple itouch cables from Ebay that were cheap as hell and work perfectly. Apple wanted mega bucks for the same thing.
I could only find USB cables for the TF101 at the Asus store, and I know they are the same as for the prime, but get this.... They are all out of stock on the Asus website.
How could Asus not have figured out that these cables would now be in higher demand? It's ridiculous to spend 500 bucks on a new tablet, and not be able to pick up a spare charging cable right away.... I am NO APPLE LOVER, but at least you can walk into a Best-Buy and pick up a charging cable without hunting across the entire planet to find one. If a company is going to make their cable proprietary, at least make it readily available for purchase. Real poor shoddy job by Asus on this... They really need to up their game. Their tablet can certainly stomp on the competition, but things like this keep holding them back.
Will the prime charge over this proprietary cable over usb?

That's why I ordered the charger and USB cables on Dec 8, didn't want to get caught in the Christmas PRIME rush
Hi,
http://www.ebay.it/itm/260869766222?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1866wt_1187
seems pretty new. Doesn't seem so neat
What do you think ?
I'm in Italy...it's from china (about 25 days to receive it)...so..let's wait some one else to test it
Tablet PC universal dock
Note: this item couldnot use as a charger dock.
I would like something like this with an EEEPad conector. What use are the USB connectors on the dock? If it has not a connector for the EEEPad, I think it's only a stand with speakers.
It won't charge your tablet. It won't give you USB ports.
Thanks for the link anyway. Let's hope someone comes out with accessories for the TF (besides Asus, that is ).
Regards.
okey so i broke my usb charger cable today. its the end that goes into the tablet that is broken. i live in norway and there is NO ONE (in stores nor online) that sells 201 cables, anywhere. but there is a few stores that sells 101 usb cables. are those compatible with my prime? i dont want to damage my tablet by using something that isnt compatible.
is there any other third party cables that works?
Yes, the TF101 cable (and charger) will work.
Yes, there are 3rd party cables out there, but I'd stick with a major supplier...That's too critical an item to buy from China directly,
I have bought stuff from this company (in California, USA) with no issues, and their prices are fair.

I have a few 3rd party cables from eBay and they work fine with the TF201 although they are shorter. However if your charger is damaged and not just the cable you will want to replace it with an official Asus charger.
