I was almost going to buy tf1 and saw on the net and realized tf2 is only a few Weeks away.

The announcment is a few weeks away. Nvidia did not even announced Kal-EL officially.
Which means at best i will be able to buy the TF2 next year q1/q2.
That's a pretty bad assumption. They haven't announced it. It will be at least a couple of weeks after an announcement. You can also factor in delays and such. I seriously doubt a release will be this year.
As far as I can tell, no company has even hinted at a Kal-El device for the near future.
And there will be delays... from both Nvidia and Asus. I'd be a bit surprised if they had released something before February.

Why in the world would you believe "some websites"?
The tegra 3 hasn't even been released yet. They've dropped hints here and there to keep their investors. But that is it. And based on history, these kinds of products are due for delays.
And don't expect the price of the TF 1 to drop. The TF2 will be $100 more.
I don't understand why people think the TF2 can come out in a couple weeks. Here's a breakdown of what's going to happen.
Nvidia has to actually release the chip. Asus engineers have to integrate it into their systems. There will undoubtedly be hardware and software bugs. They'll have to stamp out those bugs, or at least enough of the bugs for the system to be stable. Then they'd have to rush these new specs out to production.
You're looking at at least 6 months.
I learn from history. I first heard about a transformer-like device from asus in mid 2010. Just groundless rumors saying asus would "soon" come out with a powerful tablet that is different than any other tablets (keyboard dock hint hint). I waited and waited and waited... Then a year later, the TF finally came out. By that time, I had bought the a500.
So, again, what person in his right mind would think the TF 2 will come out in a couple weeks? I don't get it. Who started this ridiculous rumor?
tegra 3 is already a finished product.

here is the first kal-el tablet: http://lenzfire.com/2011/10/zte-us-10-1-inch-tablet-with-nfc-quad-core-processor-83342/.
http://kubagi.net/zte-t98-the-first-tablet-with-quad-core-processor/
i'm still hoping that it will release by end of this year. I think they are getting pretty close. They would not have finalized the price so far in advance if it was not slated for release until next year.
the price has been finalized by the CEO of the company.

Yea it's gonna be a screamer...... site says it's runnng Android 2.3....progress
Maybe it's sooo advanced it's too good for even HC
G for Games Source information for The TF2 is from Droid Life we all know no "just Rumors" there,
Wait for the 25nm chips thats he next real screamers
Of course... they didn't get the whole "different" tablet thing correct either... Always Innovating had it first. I was going to get that tablet.. but it was so ugly. So glad Asus made it so much better.
Isn't the TF1 still selling really well? What's the rush to cannibalize the success of this tablet? And I very much doubt that the TF2 is really that close to being ready to release. I'm guessing no sooner than early Q2 next year honestly. Really, the hardware of the TF1 isn't really holding it back at this point, it's the lack of a lot of good apps/games/etc IMHO. I just hope that other companies see the success of the true docking keyboard form factor so there will be other choices and a continued segement of the tab market that the TF101 currently holds all to itself. I really don't need a tab without the keyboard - it is MUCH easier to use as my laptop replacment with the tab docked. Also a big advantage to double the battery life with the dock.... anyway, I am digressing.... I call April 2012 for the TF2.
whats with all of this hate?
I would assume the best guess being October seeing as the CEO confirmed the Transformer 2 will NOT be delayed as previous speculation stated. This may push to November with the announcement of ICS being pushed back. We'll have to wait and see. I just purchased a Transformer a week ago and am returning it to wait for this beast.

What are you basing October/November on? Even if the CEO confirmed no delays, you have no idea what its general timeframe of release is. If X = expected release date and Y = delay, X - Y = Z (actual expected release date). You're somehow saying X - 0 = October/November, while providing no info that solves for X. Like I said in my last post, Q1 at the earliest, with April being my personal prediction.

TF1 was first shown in CES January 2011 but was really available in June/July. Wouldn't be suprised if TF2 has same schedule for 2012.
in response yto the OP's original question...no one knows for sure. It's anyones guess. if the history of the Tf1 means anything it will still be a while.Not that I doubt for a minuite they might try to rush some halfassed product out the door in time for Christmas sales. It's a business and that seems to be the norm in the computer and or mobile industry ...correction,,,all industries.
i have an off topic question can you guyz please answer.
Can we type while video calling or use IM and video call at the same time? skype or gtalk or anything.
I havent used a tablet before so i wanted to know this before i get my first tablet...Because my GF never speaks while video chat we just look at each other and type whatever we want to say please someone answer my question
android community has just released this bit of info: androidcommunity.com/asus-eee-transformer-2-could-be-coming-november-7th-20111011/

ok here you go buddy. It was a RUMOR that the transformer was to be released in october.
google Transformer 2 coming out in October you'll get dozens of other sites reporting the same thing.
Also, a report came out TODAY saying that the trasnformer 2 was slated for a november 7th release date according to a UK retailer.(READ LINK FROM POST ABOVE)
I cant post links because i need atleast 8 posts to post URLs
How many fingers are going to point to this date? April? I'd put my money on november 7th. Much more logical then to trust some random kid on a forum going "ya i think its april"
Edit: i know that it is a RUMOR that it was supposed to be released in October but think about it. Why would the CEO make claims that the transformer 2 would not be delayed if their wasnt a "general timeframe"
Hi,
do you have any official information, if the tablet s will get an update to android 4?
I found one webpage which says that this will happen, but an official statement would be better.
I really hope ICS comes to the tablet.
Hopeful, as it's coming to the Sony Ericsson Xperia phones
http://www.mobot.net/ice-cream-sandwich-coming-sony-ericsson-androids-31986
Absolutely no reason we wont get it since all sony phones from 2011 will get it...just a matter of when.
Sony will need time to customize 4.0 for the S's features. In that time we'll be seeing Tegra 3 updates to everyone's lines. Not sure Sony wouldn't be better off spending their time getting a Tegra3 S out with 4.0 on it.
Ok thanks.
I hope a Tegra 3 will not come in a month or so, because I want to buy mine today and don´t want to see a new version with tegra 3 in short time.
Unfortunately that's the game we play buying these devices; that best buy commercial was right when people buy a phone only to walk outside and see the billboard for the newer, better device.
I'm pretty positive the Tablet S will get ICS since Sony wants to bolster sales of their first official android tablet on the market. They'd definitely have some happy customers in here!

the tablet is to new not to do it plus tegra 3 is just a beefier verison of tegra 2
If I remember correctly, Google said that ICS was a meld of Honeycomb (tablet only) and the the versions prior to Honeycomb (phone optimized). I believe ICS is similar to iOS in that both tablet and phone can run the same apps (where Honeycomb couldnt run phone apps). So most likely ICS will be coming to most devices (prolly 2010 and older) so all their apps can run on all ICS devices
You're right, it would be in everyone's benefit to put ICS on every device; however, they most likely will only do recent, dual-core phones and tablets because it's up to the manufacturers (HTC, Sony, Samsung) to incorporate ICS into their proprietary OS add-ons. If Sony is listening to its consumer base, however, they'll definitely update the Tablet S.
And yes, it's a way of merging phone and tablet OS's. It looks pretty much like honeycomb with some graphical tweaks and useability improvements.
I asked the same question in the Sony Forums. The mods there work with the engineers at Sony.
https://forum.sel.sony.com/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11480
Show some interest and maybe we'll make it happen, sooner rather than later.

For what it's worth, Sony Style employees are confirming the upgrade. I would be more comfortable seeing an official announcement though.
ICS Is coming just can't say when, there will be a minor update this friday, then another one in December, i'd expect 4.0 in the new year though, maybe as late as March.
definitely. but the asus transformer prime doesnt bother me cause i had a transformer before and the quality is terrible.
I read that there definetly will be an Update to Android 4.0. I hope it will come at Christmas

This seems the most likely expectation. ICS Source has only recently been released for manufacturers to impliment the code to their devices.
Q1 2012 I expect.

Does anyone know when the tablet P will be released in Australia ? The Sony site only shows the S
Has the P been released anywhere ?
Will it have ICS on it by default ?
Also when is the 3G S going to be released
Thanks
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sony+tablet+p
It's on sale in the UK and should be other places soon, doesn't ship with ICS.
3G is also on the way.

I think Sony should provide some idea about if and when these devices will be upgraded to ICS
I had a chat conversation with Sony today and was told that Sony engineers were working with Google to bring ICS to the Sony Tablet S. I was overjoyed.
I could have told you that.... I'm anxious to start hearing actual dates.
Hi Guys,
Now I am totally confused, another phone in 3 months that too with superior features than Xperia S !!!
I think I should wait now
Source:
http://www.itproportal.com/2012/03/08/iphone-4s-rival-alert-sony-release-another-superphone-june/
And you just confused even more people.
Or wait 2 years maybe even better phones will show!
If you go by the "Wait til this or this comes" with tech, you will never end up with a new phone I'm afraid.
I'm sure there's a bunch of better phones in the workings at the moment, but I chose this phone (and my X10, and even my X1) because I liked them when they were released, and didn't worry about next months phone.
Out technology is becoming more and more advanced, and company's are naturally trying to 1-up each other, so there will always be "something better coming".
In the end it's your decision though, but I chose to spend the next two years with this fantastic beast of a phone and I don't think I will regret it .

no mate, actually I was just about to buy the xperia S on saturday from the current IT show in Singapore but this article !!!
I know phones will keep coming & I am really not interested in ant other brands..but there are certain things which are holding me:
1. Xperia Arc still looks good, better than Xperia S.
2. Camera also looks similar.
3. No physical buttons on Xperia S.

Hell no, why on earth buy from IT show when the outside shops are selling at 730 SGD???
NEVER buy anyhting from the SG IT show except harddrives and memory. Everything else is RRP.
I think now I will go for recontact, I am eligible for early renewal on 29th march.
Dont wait for this new phone you mentioned, because by the time that comes out something better will be announced and the cycle continues.
The whole reason why Sony fully bought over is to increase the release and production of new models. So I'm really surprised if another superphone will be out soon. They have a lot of catching up to do.
And I just bought my XPS from the IT Show yesterday. It comes with free media dock & the small square android display thingy(can't remember the name since it's at home). =D
I'm the type who usually buy the "other color" for SE phones but after I got the white XPS i kinda regret it. It looks like a toy. =x. So anyone who are going to buy their XPS, make sure you see the unboxed version before you choose your color. Cuz I can't change mine after they unboxed it or me.
PS: And there's an issue if you are using OSX. Cuz it didn't detect my XPS, although it works fine with Arc.
Still loving my Arc.

Sony should've kept the Nozomi name instead of Xperia S.
The Xperia tag belongs to Ericsson and the stigma is still attached.
Plus Nozomi sounds badass.

This is not the phone people are referring to. They are referring to the Hayabusa LT29.
Hayabusa by June..
from xperiAwesome
Wait for the one in June...or wait..maybe not...wait for the one in september, but if you really want i would suggest to wait for the one in 2050 because that one will rule them all . Til then i bought this Xperia S magnific smartphone.
Blah blah. All we know - from GSMArena interview - they MAY release something new this year, just because digital world develops very fast. But Xperia S is the flagship and will be for some time. And I don't mean weeks.
Im not so sure about this new superphone coming this year, I believe I read somewhere that they won't release a quad-core this year because its currently not really useful as most apps don't even use dual-core to its full potential. I will see if I can dig up the article The S is the flagship this year and this hayabusa if it comes out is rumored to be the next Xperia play which had that codename. Rumors are rumors
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-might-not-release-quad-core-smartphones-this-year_id27551
If we are lucky, a S4 phone will be released (read play2 or hayabusa), but really I couldn't care less, I am more than happy with my S thank you

Same here enjoying my Xperia S
Read in a few places the Hayabusa will probably be the successor to the Xperia play, if it is it will have a better screen resolution and probably quality then the PSVita, tho not sure if Sony would want to bring out something to compete with the Vita so soon.
-smc
Is Google and Samsung "cooking" a new version of Nexus 10 ? And if the rumors are true,the new tablet will be equipped with Exynos 5 quad-core and 8 core GPU Mali T-678 ? And if the rumors are true when will be available to buy ? I don't wanna to hurry and buy now the Nexus 10 with dual-core Exynos.....But deserve to wait for Nexus with quad core Exynos ?
PS:sorry for my poor English :laugh:
This might be the 10th XDA thread started in the past week regarding this subject.
It's all rumors and speculation with no reliable confirmation. If there is a grain of truth to any of it, it won't mean anything to us now. More likely than not it's a device that won't be released until next fall. Those with more knowledge of these things than most of us have suggested it's a device that'll be announced at MWC, get shown off at Google I/O, and be released for the back-to-school or holiday shopping season next fall.

Exactly, they abandoned my Jide Remix Mini just like that and conveniently shift the blame to the SoC supplier for the lack of newer Android support.
And to top it off, many of the cheapest phone today are already on SoCs with 14nm and 16nm manufacturing process and here we are with Jide Remix IO/IO+ still running on some 28nm crappy SoC.
And the best part is? It's not even shipped yet.
