Asus Eee Transformer gets a small bug fixing update which apparently doesn’t fix anything
Asus released a small bug-fixing update for the original Transformer tablet (turned netbook). Unfortunately, software version 9.2.1.17-20120312 doesn’t bring many goods to the tablet with users complaining some of the bugs they expected to be squashed still annoying them. That said, we’re not saying you shouldn’t update your beloved tablet — quite the contrary, it’s a good practice to keep your device software up to date. However, we do want to see Asus releasing yet another patch to deal with other issues users are still reporting. It’s not to say … Read more

iPad battery life is better than Transformer Prime, similar to iPad 2
According to a test conducted by CNET, the new third-generation iPad’s battery life does not seem to falter from the iPad 2 despite the addition of a much more power-hogging display. It even bests the Asus Transformer Prime, which is one of the best Android tablets in terms of battery longevity. CNET tests all tablet battery life by looping a local movie file with the screen brightness set to approximately 150 candelas per square meter (just slightly below the 50 percent mark on the iPad) until the device dies. By these standards, … Read more

Video: ASUS Transformer Prime versus the new Apple iPad, which is faster?
In case you haven’t noticed, Apple’s third generation iPad came out today. Judging by the early reviews, it’s already set the benchmark for what a tablet should be. Now when Apple announced the new iPad last week they said that their A5X chip is 4x faster than NVIDIA’s Tegra 3. That’s a bold claim, and it ruffled a few of NVIDIA’s feathers, but now that people have both the Transformer Prime and the third gen iPad in hand it’s time to run some benchmarks. The folks from Ritchie’s Room made … Read more

UK: Asus Padfone available for pre-order for whopping 700 GBP
If you’re like me, you probably think the Asus Padfone is one of the best devices ever made. Not all of us need a tablet all the time (quite the contrary), and Asus’ baby offers a great way to have both a smartphone and tablet in a single device. The problem, however, is that at least initially the Padfone will be an expensive toy. We’ve just learned just how expensive it is, with British electronics retailer FlagshipFones asking 583.32 GBP for the unlocked device (or 696.83 EUR / $914.35). Add … Read more

Rumor: Google to launch an ASUS branded 7 inch tablet as early as May
Another day another rumor about this elusive 7 inch Android tablet from Google that we’ve been hearing about for months. For those who need a quick refresher: Google likes to partner with a company every year and release a device that runs Android completely unmodified. Said device is called the Nexus. The first Nexus was made by HTC, the next two were made by Samsung. Now people think that the Nexus concept is going to be extended to tablets, with the first one being made by ASUS. Said tablet will … Read more

Rumor: $200 7 inch Google Android Nexus tablet to be built by ASUS
Google has something called the Nexus program whereby every year they partner up with a hardware maker and release one device that runs Android the way Google thinks Android should be run. It started with the Nexus One, then there was the Nexus S, and now we have the recently launched Galaxy Nexus. Rumor has it that Google is going to do the same thing with tablets, and that the first of such tablets will hit the market in the first half of this year, it’ll have a 7 inch … Read more

Hands-on: Asus Padfone at MWC 2012
Finally we got the opportunity to actually touch the Padfone; you know that “smartphone turned tablet” device, which according to Asus will eliminate the need to sync data with yet another device (tablet). Asus is one of today’s best hardware makers; their tablets and computers (especially ultrabooks) are top notch, boasting pretty much the same amount of aluminum as Apple products. Speaking of which [Apple], the Taiwanese company is often accused of copying design from Cupertino (Asus’ ultrabooks are similar to the MacBook Air). That isn’t the case with the … Read more

Hands-on: Asus Transformer Pad 300 Series at MWC 2012
New member of the Transformer tablet series is touted as “stylish and affordable,” and is as such catered toward mass market, perhaps first-time tablet buyers who can’t imagine using virtual on-screen keyboards. It’s a solidly built device, but we can’t help noticing it feels cheaper than the Transformer Prime, sporting more plastic than metal. As a matter of fact, it’s like a quad-core version of the original Eee Pad Transformer. I guess this move to cut the material cost is part of the equation, to cover an additional segment of … Read more

Asus unveils Padfone, Transformer Pad Infinity and Transformer Pad 300 tablets, and Stylus Headset
Returning from Asus’ conference, I can’t say I’m not impressed. Quite the contrary, the Taiwanese company managed to do it again, introducing new top-notch products. During the presentation, Asus’ CEO Jonney Shih talked about “Transformation,” design thinking, cloud computing and where it sees its company fitting into the major trends. We’ve learned that Eee Pad Transformer brand will no longer be used — rather, Asus’ future tablet-convertibles will be called Transformer Pads. Not sure whether Hasbro’s lawsuit has anything to do with it, though. Then, Shih started introducing products… New tablets … Read more

ASUS MWC video hints at a tablet with twice the detail, twice the fun
ASUS posted a video to its YouTube channel which hints at an upcoming tablet that’ll have twice the detail and twice the fun. The cutesy video is 15-seconds long and features marbles falling in and out of a rectangular box. In the end, the marbles form the shape of a tablet which has the date and time of ASUS’s Mobile World Congress presentation on the homescreen. Everyone assumes ASUS is referring to the Transformer Prime TF700T, an Android tablet that first leaked during CES. The TF700T ups the specs of the current … Read more
