UK: Asus Transformer Prime TF700T not arriving before June, original Prime getting extended warranty
A few days ago during CES, Asus unveiled a new version of its Transformer Prime Android tablet, with a full HD 1080p touchscreen and better wireless connectivity (thanks to a redone back cover).

Asus Transformer Prime now in stock in Canada
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime has supposedly been available in Canada for a while now. But we say ‘supposedly’ because it’s been very, very hard to find one in stock at a retailer for more than a few minutes or hours. That’s how much demand there is for the first quad-core tablet on the [...]

If you have the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet, you’re probably envious at those who have the newer Transformer Prime in their possession, since that gadget has already received an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
