So its Oct. 1 and still not information yet on if and when the TF2 will be released. I guess I will be buying a TF1 and then maybe selling it later on to get a TF2.. I did find a Store in my town that has nothing but the B60's in stock, so that is great information for me.
whats the difference between the Bs i think mine is a B70 got it from amazon

B60's are rootable, Some B70 with the serial number lower then B70KAS170XXX can be rooted anything above that, cant.

B60 was the last batch that was guaranteed to be rootable. Some of the B70s were, but it's a lottery. B80's onwards are unrootable currently.
Anything B50+ the manufacturing issues of early units were long since sorted, so B60 is the sweet-spot if you wish....
But now, newegg has the 16gb with dock for only 399.. might take a chance of on the lottery with that deal. Man decisions, decisions... get a rootable B60 with no dock or take the chance of not getting a rootable one and getting a free dock.
i say pull the trigger..used mine foe about 1 month + now, haven't really seen a need to root it...i think u're good even if u get a non rootable one..

Get it with the dock, they're ~$150 less than when I bought mine two months ago. You can basically consider it a free dock, at that price. You can use the keyboard with the TF2 when it comes out. Get used to it, love it, and maybe you won't need a TF2 (though Ice Cream Sandwich will be plenty tempting if the TF2 ships with it.)
I think my SN is like 10 numbers lower than the new bootloader cutoff, but I still haven't rooted. I haven't found any of the 3 main ROMs that would do enough above and beyond stock to make me want to.

Well I have pulled the trigger from Newegg, but not been able to root is deal breaker for me since I can't update the kernel to gain access to CIFS, Cisco VPN Client or other kernel enhancement.
Buy it from best buy and get their buy back plan. So when tf2 comes you can exchange it, only downside is you will get 250 back...

I would wait till November or December. The t2, when it comes out will be a beast, but if cannot be rooted, I am not going to get it. There will be more tablet selections and cheaper prices..a few weeks waiting will save headaches and money later.

I've been saying on here for months. I first heard about the transformer a year before asus debuted it. The rumor was asus was coming out with a tablet that also acts as a notebook. And it was coming out soon. That soon turned out to be a year.
I dont understand why people think the tf2 is just right around the corner. Nvidia said they were coming out with tegra 3 at end of october. Were going to believe asus engineers can incorporate the tegra 3 into their device and stamp out the bugs to make it usable in a couple days and ship in volume?
For those waiting for the tf2, keep waiting if you want. You are basing your belief on unconfirmed rumors. You also also believe in unconfirmed reports of aliens and big foot?

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it.

Sounds like it
I assume this is used, cause they are ~ $350 minimum new.
On ebay they go for cheapest ~ $230-250.
So if it is in good condition, with no scratches or other issues,
yes, a good deal.
It's a great tab. Been very happy.
Sorry i didn't specify, yes it is used.
Found it on Craigs list.
Only comes with charger and the tab, says he prefers his ipad 2 instead and this just collects dust.
I've seen touchpads for as low as 150, I'm the kind of person that can't make up there mind lol so I need some help.

I ordered a refurb A500 and discovered the tablet would not hold a charge. Tablet was in great condition otherwise. I actually own 3 A500 (2 16G and 1 32G I got from woot a few days back). The rear camera is pretty good. I took some Christmas pictures and they turned out really good. I also use the GPS (navigation). I think it's a great tablet. You'll be able to do a lot with it, that's for sure. With ICS due sometime in the near future, even better.
Acers store on ebay has a500 refurbs directly from them for $299.99 for a 32GB + 10$ shipping. I pulled the trigger on one 2 days ago. My first tablet so super stoked. Prevously only played around on Smartphones. Htc Hero, Evo (My Rom whore) and now Evo 3D.
From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721
Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown
Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.
In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.
Good times.
Thanks for the update. I was waiting for an updated official source.
Too bad they can't just name a date. End all speculation. 'Mid february' is close but I want it less vague

I'm using a GNex since its release and I can tell you this: you'll be stunned. Not so much from the interface (which is very close to HC) but from the overall smoothness. I eagerly wanna try paulburtons ICS port, but I gave my TF away to a friend for 2 weeks
Yeah, I have ICS on my Nexus S, and I'm super excited to get it on my TF101. Most of the basic interface ideas come from Honeycomb, but very refined and improved. And yes, much better speed.
Just got ics alpha on my epic 4g.
After a day of playing with it, if anyone asks 'is it worth it to wait' you don't deserve it.
