Asus needs to slow their roll n make sure all their current devices working properly..lmfao they trying to pump out new tablets left n right. This would make like 3-4 new tablets Asus is making.
All the french text says is that it looks like the Prime (TF201) from the front, and the back feels similar to the original Transformer (TF101).

I bet you it's just the 3g version but why would they upgrade the camera... It might be the TF201 lite to... And be a cheaper model hence the back plate being plastic and it having a beastly camera!

Hmmm...maybe a redesigned prime with complete plastic backcover like OG Transformer? It'll be interesting to see what the specs are if this truly is a prime, internals wise. Either way Asus setting themselves up for more outrage from current owners if this is a truly redesigned one. First the tf-700 then now this...I'm sure an exchange program is in the works or something if they addressing the issues n redesigning the device. With it being under warranty, it be in their best long term interest to just replace sent in units with newer model ones. It'll cost them less in the long run. Will be keeping an eye out for further details on this.

Prime power button on top also.
Same place as the Prime.
Lytos was shopping their light field camera to phone/tablet makers. Any chance it has one of those?
well, i'm glad i got rid of my 201. if this is exactly the same, but cheaper and with good wifi/gps, i'll consider buying it
Based on the mention of GPS and improved design, it could be an updated version of the Prime to deal with the wireless issues. With the 7" at $249 and the TF700 at $599 it could make sense that the TF300 would be at $399-449 and have less features than the TF700 (and the current Prime). It would make no sense from a cost perspective for Asus to have the TF101, TF201, TF300, and TF700 all in production at the same time. My guess is only two will survive.
Here's the translation:
The deformation of another new Asus Tablet TF300T debut, is it new or improved supreme?
Well, so much to see in my colleague's sake, plus about addiction science and technology group, but fans were right XD.
What is this? The new Asus Tablet is it? Yesterday, my colleague from the strong to get information (colleagues from friends over there to get the message), as a concentric design. As confirmed to the model TF300T, coupled with Extreme deformation of the plate before the GPS, I think they would not be a simple flat deformation of the new color version of the Extreme. Well is a new product to either need a flat deformation Supreme improved design.
In addition, the above figure, there is some light to have a long white sheet, which is called the TF201's Extreme deformation of plates, is similar with the iPad 2 speaker design (refer to pure looks), but has now become a long I do not know whether it will still be speaker.
In short you can see, ASUS Android tablet is indeed spent a great deal of effort, the first half of this year, to see the TF700 and TF300 deformed plate, wow Woo, machine sea come, do not know this will not be on MWC happen? Oh Yes, Oh foundry for the Wistron. After the jump you can see the evidence (certification date is January 19, it seems TF300T should be listed on a fast?)
Okay, so, yeah, if ASUS comes out with essentially a Prime with a plastic backplate, then there will definitely (and rightfully so) be a ****storm. I can't imagine that they wouldn't at least quietly offer a trade-in program. I didn't feel that way about the T700, because it's a different device completely, but if this one is similar spec-wise to the Prime, then... well... yeah.
There had better be a program that offers a trade-in, or something in order to compensate for our "suffering" and money spent on a semi-faulty product.

If that's the final design, someone mentioned the absence of flash for the camera. If it's a lower-spec Prime and priced less, Asus could say it's not a different Prime but an entirely new model. Since price sells non-Apple tablets, it (to me) makes sense to leave the TF700 as the high-end flagship and offer a second value-based offering with a bigger price differential to compete at the low/middle end. From a production perspective it doesn't make sense to offer a $399, $499, and $599 10.1" tablet. A $399/449 mid-range tablet and a $599 high-end tablet would represent solid and competitive 10.1" tablet offerings. It would also align with the killer $249 price they've put on the 7". All pure conjecture of course.
One thing is for sure, Asus driving everyone crazy with all these new tablet announcements very similar n spec to Prime. Seeming like Asus just don't give a @?!#&..lol. and covering all corners of the market to increase their sales/profits. Unless a trade in option, ill be keeping my prime. These new ones don't entice me to want a new device. People with problematic ones, I can understand.
This is in no way a downgrade to the prime! It has to be an upgrade with that new RGBW cmos sensor and not require a flash... Everything else is in the same place as the prime....
Other than the backplate it is just an upgraded camera! Unless it has something hidden we can't see...
But this is odd.. Maybe someone just put a skin on their prime lol! And forgot to cut the camera hole

This looks to be a handy portable stand. The Xoom and the Acer are very close in depth (12.9mm vs 13mm) so I suspect it should work with out modification. A lot less expensive than the dock and available today !

I bought this based on your post. It looks EXACTLY like the acer store version and it better be. I'll let everyone know. This is a great purchase if it's on the money.
I've got one of these on order: http://padpivot.com/ I ordered it when it was first on Kickstarter so not sure when they'll be on general release.
Looks nice!
I went round the corner to maplin and asked did they have any spare stands they use for their tablets, they gave me one lol
Let me know if anyone else has any luck...
I did try the actual Xoom's protective case. Unfortunately, it does not fit. The Acer is wider by about 1/2 inch. I had to return the case and order the one now offered at Staples for the Acer. Just an FYI if anyone is curious

I have held the Xoom and Acer side-by-side. The size is actually quite different in both length and width. The Xoom is smaller on both counts.
However, the iPad is wider than the Iconia, and the Iconia 20mm longer than the iPad. I have found that the Iconia will fit in some iPad sleeves. Provided there is a bit of 'give' in the iPad sleeve's length.
Anything that is purpose built for another device though (with specific dimensions in mind) is hard to adapt.
Also, 10" netbook sleeves and cases have proven to be quite good with the Iconia as well. Often there is a little wiggle room which is handy for cables and chargers.

Received it today and it works great with the Acer. I have it setup on my desk slightly tilted back and the tablet is much easier to see and use. It's very adjustable and very stable.
Also got a DAGi stylus to use with it (see picture). It works much better than a rubber tipped one and is much more accurate. Also, no fingerprints !. But it's something else to carry around.
I just picked it up from Staples and so far so good. It does what it says although it doesn't seem like there is a way to keep the front cover flap secured to the back when in use. I'm not sure that I care all that much about it though. Otherwise seems like a good deal for the money.
PS. It seems to be the official ACER case.
hmmm. sort of ugly.
Got the dock from Acer. Wanted to throw a few pics down as well as a review.
In your review... you state: "you can NOT dock the tab with the case on".
Are you referring to the Acer case? I was thinking maybe it was thin enough that it might allow docking? Thanks!!

THERE IS A PADPHONE FORUM ALREADY •• THREAD CLOSED
I am likely going to be saying bye-bye to my beloved HTC Glacier this April when the Padfone comes out, especially since it's pretty much confirmed that the Padfone works with the TF101 dock I already own.
Skip to 50 seconds in for the great news:
Don't worry, my TF101 isn't going anywhere.
EDIT: Oh, and in case anyone notices, the capacitive buttons on that prototype piece from the video doesn't exist in the production version they showed at the MWC (it's not even the same form factor):

Meh. I am not even that excited about it.
The illusion is that you get three portable devices with one, but the reality is that you only have one device that can fully function on its own--the Padfone itself.

So the tablet doesn't even function unless the phone is docked inside it. No thanks. Honestly, I would rather have a good phone and a good tablet.
There will be other new tablets coming out. Way too early to make any kind of decision.

You're in a Transformer forum. That's like complaining that the keyboard dock doesn't function without the tablet. The "tablet" ACCESSORY of the Padfone, is just that: an accessory. Meaning, if you don't want to, you don't have to buy it. To me, it's just another (highly functional) dock. And this is coming from someone that DOES own a good phone and two good tablets.
And I HIGHLY doubt that the tablet accessory will be anywhere near the price of an actual tablet. If they don't go too crazy on pricing, it'd be nice to essentially have half your 3G/4G enabled tablet subsidized. That is, if ASUS hooks up with a proper carrier.

Not sure why you are flaming me either. You mad because I am not chanting praises for padfone? I am entitled to my personal opinion and I wasn't attacking anyone while doing so.

See, for me, that's a plus. I have a phone and a tablet. What I want is a unified device. I currently have one set of apps on my Nexus S, and another set on my Transformer.
Padfone will give me One Device to Rule Them All (as it were).
Can't wait.
Look at it this way - how often have you been using your tablet and your phone at the same time? I'm guessing not very often.
Also, you'll have a single call and data plan, because it's still only one device. I don't know whether American networks will defecate masonry over such an idea, but over here, I think it'll be fantastic.

Heh. That's a good analogy, actually. It's not a separate tablet, it's just a phone, that you can make REALLY BIG when you need to. Combine it wtih the keyboard dock, it's also an Android netbook. Even better. 3-for-the-price-of-one. And if I can keep my TF101 dock? Money saved
I already found buyers for my Transformer and iPhone 4S. Padfone is going to be my first "compromise free" device since HTC Universal. I can't wait to have it at home.
Nah, feels gimmicky considering I have a tablet and a phone already that don't depend on each other.

This is how I feel. It will seriously consider if it they get it to the US and its on my carrier when the upgrade comes around and the pricing for the "tablet" is fair. It should be cheap since it doesn't have any processing power, its just a touchscreen with a battery.
I love my OG transformer but it is true that I have to sync functionality across the devices at times. The idea that I could have my phone plugged into a large screen and a keyboard and simultaneously charging while I am working on a plane only to get off the plane, have the completed PowerPoint still on the phone and the phone 100% charged seems like a great idea.
Its time has finally come now that Android supports both interfaces in the same OS. Motorola's implementation was crap, with their terrible web-top skin.

That is the other thing I was considering too. Now you either have to pay a separate plan or hack your phone and wirelessly tether, killing its battery. ASUS said the tablet has an antenna in it that hooks to the phone to boost reception too, so using the bluetooth if you were in a cave docking the phone might even make its phone performance better.

Actually, the only way I'm getting this (unlike the Verizon Xoom) is that Asus doesn't hook up with a carrier.

Amazon's pre-orders are sold out, you have to wait for the next shipment.
This does look like a great tablet at an amazing price.
However I will wait for the tablet to have a 2gb ram instead of 1gb. Using a fully customized TF101 with LWP and other widgets keeps the ram at 600-700 and using a browser like overskreen does push it close to the limit.
Also, I will have to deal with the problem of selling my TF101 with dock if I do plan to get another tablet.
Does anyone know if the original dock will work on TF300 ?
I was under the impression that the TF300 is going to be the low end device of their new tablet lineup. Hopefully, it does better than the Prime at launch (as in no Wi-Fi issues, glitchy GPS, etc) . I'm more interested in the Pad Infinity, but only if Asus solves the software problems on the TF101 first. Otherwise, I can't say I'm too confident in their firmware with ICS.
I would also doubt highly that the original dock will work with any of these, but I suppose you never know -- they might be nice to us (yeah, right!).

You mention software issues with the TF101. Could you elaborate as I don't think I have any but may have missed them.

Some people are experiencing random reboots and other stability issues after upgrading to ICS.
Im quite sure they said the new devices will NOT be compatible with previous docks, and will have their own docks.
But if it will be compatible with any previous dock - it will be the TF201's. TF101 is too old, and I do believe they have stopped production of the dock as well (at least, a lot of stores here in sweden has stopped selling them and wont receive any new shipment)

And unless you root right after getting the TF101, the ICS update will be force fed to you and then all these issues of rebooting, freezing and apps force closing will ensue.
I'd wait for 300, may be the Wifi/GPS issues they had with prime will be fixed and she will be root and overclock friendly tab .

From the leaks to the media, the 300 looks to be a 201 clone with plastic case, slower soc but longer battery life. After seeing excellent performance of the fully functioning gps dongle on the prime, I have high expectations on the performance of the 300.
Hmm.. should Asus call this the Spartan 300, meager and mean?
Damn it. New phone comes first now(EVO 4G LTE).
I really dont have a problem waiting though. Very curious to see how win8 tablets pan out in the next 10 or so months.

All I need to know is how it stacks up against Asus' TF300T. Assuming they have similar prices, who would you go for? (At this point it looks like I can get one at preferred corporate prices, which means sensibly cheaper than Asus's tablet.)

I received an S2110 only yesterday, and while I haven't owned an Asus TF300T, I've played with them extensively on two occasions.
My take:
I recommend the S2110. While both of these tablets go heavy on the plastic, the Lenovo seems better built to me, and is plenty fast (it's counterintuitive, but I think the APQ8060A in the S2110 feels faster than the Tegra in the EEEPad in real-world use). The keyboards are a wash: both will work well for the occasional content generation. Haven't tested Bluetooth yet, but that's supposed to favor the Lenovo for A/V synch. The only knock I can think of on the S2110 is that a few apps -- notably Flipboard -- don't yet support the tablet, but I think that will change. A discounted price on the Lenovo would pretty much seal the deal for me.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, it looks like I will be receiving mine tomorrow (unless UPS surprises me with an earlier delivery), and unless my wife does not decide to send it back (as we've had some arguments over the opportunity of our purchasing this ). And yes, I did purchase the 32G version including the dock at preferred corporate prices :highfive: The APQ8060A is a Krait-based processor, so it should, indeed, be faster than Tegra3.
Alright, i received mine, and I am completely ecstatic. :highfive: Awesome job Lenovo! Got the 32G version with dock. Minor SW hiccups, but I am hoping to get CM on it soon, or at least Lenovo's JB whenever they get 'round to releasing it.
I just got mine today. Is there a root out for this? I have been looking for about an hour now with no luck.

I Googled it for hours, and searched every forum I could think of, and had no luck. I hope someone starts deving this soon.. I don't remember the last time i had an un-rooted device.

S2110 Root

Enjoy!
Front Camera Doesn't Work???
How do you get the front camera to turn on?? The user instructions cite a button in the interface to select between the two (like my RAZR has) but in the actual interface, no selector switch.

Are you talking about the front camera as in the main camera that you would take photos with or are you talking about the front facing camera, the one you would use for video chat?

The S2110 is not really high up on devs' "to do" list unfortunately.

I had a TF700 and an S2110 for comparison, and sent the Tf700 back.
If you, like me, care alot about the keyboard, ignore all of the comparisons out there and buy the lenovo.
They both have strong points and somehow i would have prefered the transformers look and feel, but the keyboard of the lenovo is actually usable, while the asus one has no resistance. It's a toy, not a keyboard. Also i was surprised about the touchpad of the lenovo actually being ok. Not great, but heaps better then you'd expect after testing the transformer.
If you don't care about keyboards all _that_ much, well then there's alot of differences in how they feel subjectively, and i'd recommend just buying both from amazon and sending one of them back.
Now i still have 20 days to send the ideatab back, in case i don't manage to replace lenovos bloatware with real android.
Fastboot works fine so far. anyone got something to test with fastboot boot?

I didn't hear good things about TF700's storage bottleneck etc., so I think I made the right decision to go for the Lenovo.
is there a way to root the S2110, I see the link but not much talk about success.

LG has announced the "successors" to our tablet. They feature worse specs in every aspect, that means we have nothing to upgrade to!
LG has took a great step with the original (our) G Pad and made a great premium tablet, but because it didn't sell enough they decided to go with the samsung way to produce a crappy tablet with a cheap (yet overpriced) price.

What the hell... Is this true? How can they go the downgrade route when everybody else is churning out a better specced tablet every year?
There MUST be a misunderstanding regarding the specs.

Meh, it looks like they are making tablets for the masses.
When they could have used this wonderful tablet as a base and just fixed a few niggles and just upped the specs ?

This http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/12/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-specs-10-5-and-8-4/ is what they should've been, but now, they are trying to compete with this http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-4-8.0_id8357
I'm hoping these new G Pads are just LG keeping product in the pipeline until they can release a premium tablet with a quantum dot display. If not then they are dead go me. These new g pads are boring commodity yawns. Could not be less interested.

It's far worse than that....
They know they are not capable of competing with Samsung or Apple on the high end and with the HTC built Nexus 8 about to arrive and dominate the Middle / Upper Middle class range.. LG has done the wise thing and put themselves back in the class consisting of tablets like the Lenovo A10, Asus MeMO FHD 10, Acer Iconia A-130 etc..
LG has no desire to and are not capable of running with the big dogs at the upper end of the tablet spectrum.. Thus the V700, V500 and V400.. Hey, at least they'll have something on the shelves.

That battery is the only impressive thing about the 10.1 tablet and the IPS display. Everything else reeks of lame sauce.

just some support to increase that cpu, because of 8,000mAh!!!
Very glad I have the 8.3. Wish I hadn't gotten the Verizon version, though. I want CM11 on this thing!

If I hadn't already bought a vk810, I'd be rocking CM11. There's one lone dev trying to get CM11 on the vk810 in his spare time. Progress is slow, unfortunately.

REQUOTE: ...did not sell enough - That's their own doing. When it was first announced, I *really* wanted one of these and would have happily paid a premium full asking price on day 1, but up here in Canada this was total vapourware for the first 6 months of its release, and is only just recently available from our big electronic retailers as web-purchase only for $399, still vapourware if you want to see and hold the device, not available in-store, and I can assure you I'm NOT going to cough up that kind of coin sight unseen for something that by the time it became available to me was pretty much a year and a half old on specs.
For the current selling price, I'll be able to get one of the new Samsung 8.4" tabs with better-in-every-respect specs.
LG did this to themselves. If you want to sell your product, you have to actually make it available. Samsung has that figured out, I can walk into *any* local store, drugstores included, and physically see, try and purchase a full range of their plethora of devices. Despite *begging* LG via email for months, I was never able to actually get one of these in any way, and now that I can, it's way too late. Again I say, they did it themselves and really should think long and hard about their marketing and supply strategy.

Darn. And google is out of the 8.3 gpe model. Looks like I am out of luck until the Nexus 8 then

Well, that makes me all the happier I bought my G Pad 8.3. It really is a great device for the price, and at any price really. Now if I could just get rid of LG's bloated version of Kit Kat...
When I heard about the LG10.1 I was like " I'm going to sell my 8.3 then buy that " but when I saw the specs? I'm? happy with my 8.3 cheap with competitive specs!
I just bought a second hand LG G PAD 8.3, only 145 $... Hip hip hoooo

Hey guys,
LG's new tablets may be worst than ours but their new UI is gorgeous! And as the 8.3 has a better hardware I bet it could run that ROM pretty smothly.
Can anyone make a port of that ROM for our device?

That would be cool. I might get a 7" model for my mom. Either this or tab 4 7.0.

LG G Pad 8.3 V510 GPE
If anyone is still looking for the LG V510 GPE you can find them at Expansys-USA for $224. Just bought one after seeing the sub par offerings for the new line of G pads.
