Hi,
I'm thinking of getting myself a transformer(tf101) but I'm having doubts and need some convincing. It's going to be my first tablet and I want to do it right. Why should i get this one and not something else?
Thanks!
Well:
Price/Quality unbeatable!!
Great support
Custom Rom's
Overclock
MicroSDcard
Good wireless range
I found this one on a spanish site. This one is about 100€ cheeper than the transformer:

Its all about the screen for me. I had a cheaper tablet before my TF and spec wise it was very similar but it had a lower resolution lcd screen which had poor viewing angles and hd video playback was very poor. As always you get what you pay for and after using my TF with its high resolution ips screen i woud have to think very hard before changing it for another.

The unique characteristics of the Transformer is the keyboard. If that is what you need the TF is for you. Other tabs are lighter, Samsung, and have better apps, ipad, but none are better at tasks that require a keyboard.

For me battery usage, keyboard dock and build quality was important.
Why anyone should get a ASUS Transformer over a regular Android tablet:
1. It has long battery life.
2. It has a keyboard dock with USB ports and a second battery.
3. It will get a decent build of ICS.
Why anyone should get a TF101 over a TF201:
1. It has stronger WiFi.
2. It has stronger GPS.
3. It has a better sound output system.
I would also argue that it has a much better screen and auto brightness capability than the TF201/Prime does.

i agree ¬¬'
Definitely. Would be good though
With anything larger than 4.3" screen, the device would really begin to become uncomfortable to use. Even as much as I like the screen on the HD2, sometimes it feels gigantic for 1 hand functions. Those specs sound more like a tablet than a phone.
Where can I preorder ?
Hey man! That sounds so plausible, but it's not actually true. I got the HD3 specs from my mate, Mr. Taiwanese who works for HTC and he's got a HD3.

So false it's funny
The "original" news source reports a leaflet with the size of the device. 65mm*115mm*10mm. I can easily suppose there's potential to make it even thinner, but there's no way it can be smaller with a bigger screen.
Loving the "more big" scribbles on the picture ... lol
1280 × 800 resolution is not supported in 7 Series, from what I have heard.
And I don't think they will launch the HD3 with WM 6.5.3. ROFL
Either the Resolution is wrong/fake, or this whole rumor = BS.
EDIT: Is 1280 × 800 resolution supported in 6.5.3 btw? Wait... Argh, I am wasting my time...

Yep, would be going down the iPad direction, to big for its use. The HD2 size is as big as I would want a mobile phone to be.
On the 'tipster' link which goes to the "source of the information" (http://mobilementalism.com/2010/03/15/leaked-pics-and-specs-of-htc-hd3-one-word-stunning/) there are a few pictures and one is a low quality list of specifications...
On this picture (http://mobilementalism.com/imageSnag/3768-4b9e890364290.jpg) note the words:
Front camera: video call
Show me the front camera on any of the included pictures...
Blatent crock of <censored>!
(sighes, shakes head and sighes again)
I like how it says As you can see from the pics, it’s the real deal – it’s definitely not vapourware.
Cant believe no one has picked up on the fact that those specs say "32GB external memory".
Windows Phone 7 series has no removable storage support.

and about 30 minutes of battery life...
Let´s face it: if HTC builds the HD3 we don´t need that crappy WM7 which is of no good for nuthin`, just for stups that are barely able to handle an iPhone.
HD3 should run a stripped version of WinXP, cause with the roumored specs it plays the same league as Sony VAIO P, only better
the specs are slightly fake as it does say 32GB external memory which isn't allowed...for WM7 phones
Actually, apart from the screen, those specs seem quite similar to those of the HTC EVO.
It should have 32gb built in mem like the iPhone
why HTC doesnt do that ?
so if we actually do get an EVO 2 this summer, what more can we get on this phone to make it either a industry changer or a big hit.
i say
- remove the touch buttons we already have and expand the screen vertically while not having to enlarge the actual phone.. that way we are ready for honeycomb (or what ever the phone version OS is gonna be called)
- move the audio jack to the bottom of the phone
- way better battery life (even if it means thickening
the phone for a bigger battery)
- better hd video recording
- more internal memory and ram
- better display
- gorilla glass
last but not least
- quad processor ( might be exagerating dual should
be fine)
and maybe a few more things i can't think of right now
what do u guys want on this phone
s
ps: im broke but wouldn't mind paying $300 on a new contract for these upgrades.
ent from my EvoKnevil
Same form as the EVO, maybe closer to the Thunderbolt.
dual core
better GPU (MUCH BETTER)
at least a gig of RAM
a few gigs of ROM
4.3" Super LCD (please god don't let it have an amoled!)
higher res
That's it, I'm easy to please.
I'd love to have a SLCD, Gorilla Glass and either the headphone jack on the bottom or USB port on the top (just as long as they're together, I thought that was a great idea on the Galaxy S) but I don't agree with getting rid of the buttons. Even when they merge the tablet and phone branches of Android, I doubt the phone version will have the same virtual buttons. I could be wrong but I just don't see it happening.
We should hear something from HTC either at MWC next week (Feb 14-17) or CTIA next month (Mar 22-24). The EVO was officially announced during CTIA last year so that could be when Sprint announces its successor.
move the Micro sd card location
1. the new snapdragons
2. dual core
3. honeycomb AOSP
4. 5 inch SLCD/SAMOLED
5. full hdmi out
6. the laptop type dock (like the atrix)
7. 32gb inbuilt memory as well as sd card support
8. NFC
Sort of like dell streak, evo, and atrix combined into one big package, oh and with honeycomb :x

+1 for sure.
Even just one of these
-better battery life
-dual core
-put the usb port on the side of the phone maybe about 1/4 from the top or in the middle so that when you hold it horizontally the cable isn't between your fingers. Grrr, I hate that
-Dual-core processor for sure, maybe 1GHz but with the same performance as the Shift's.
-Honestly, the form factor of the Evo is quite well done, wouldn't change much, unless it's a bit thicker for a better battery.
-A better way to access the microSD.
-More internal ROM/RAM.
-NFC for sure, it's going to take over the world...
-(if there's room) a full-sized HDMI-out adapter.
-(and by extension) the GPU to support such a thing.
-Rooting without voiding warranties, plus RA Recovery manager built-in by default. [/sarcasm] (like that'll ever happen)
- Bigger battery (like twice capacity)
- GPU
- Amoled screen and gorilla glass
- same size screen or bigger ( I could never go smaller now)
- keep the kickstand
Sent from my device.
-NFC
-Noice Cancelling Mic
-Better Speaker
-Better Placement of camera
-Fix light leakage issues
-Higher Mega Pixel FFC
-Slide out Keyboard
-Unibody design

For those times when one is not enough.
What would I like?
1) 32 or 22 nm multicore low energy processor.
2) dual 4.5" screens - sliding a thin secondary screen.
from under the main. For those times when one is not enough.
3) ability to piggy back a battery pack. For those times when one is
not enough.
4) full bridge between wifi and service provider (Sprint). For those
times when one is not enough
OK imagine a pocket super "connector".
Lots of good ideas here.
Unfortunately I won't be getting an Evo 2 this summer (at a discounted price anyways) because Sprint downgraded my yearly upgrade perk.
That being the case, anyone want to guess what the Evo 3 (hopefully with a June 2012 release date) will be like?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
moar gggggs!
how about a high quality build.
All these suggestions are great. In addition it would be great to have a kickstand that works for portrait and landscape imo.
Dual Core
3D screen
12 Mega pixel camera
3 mega pixel front camera
32 GB SD card
Projector capabilities
same size, but more pixels
dual core...
gpu, or something for better graphics
better hardware and software wich can make the battery last way longer
keep the 8m pixels in the rear camera, shake stability, etc
the evo has so much, why not add the ability to act as a desktop and just connect it to a screen, mouse and keyboard

I like the above, but also:
- better camera quality (not more megapixels, we have plenty); we need better image processing (software) and/or better sensor, cause what we have now sucks; it gives 8 megapixels a bad rep
- better GPU
- SLCD screen at higher resolution
- better battery management (i think 1500 is big enough, we can get it to work leaner)
- dual core processor
- ports (headphone/usb) on same side as others have said
- don't care about HDMI out, we'll be streaming wirelessly soon enough
I really think that all phones these days of superphone caliber should have noise cancelling mics, it's huge for talk quality.
my 0.02
The only things I care about are as follows.
1. Battery life (if this comes about by a low power consumption dual core, that's fine)
2. A better camera with a lens that isn't exposed.
By better camera, I don't mean more megapixels. Megapixels don't mean jack if the quality sucks. We have an 8mp camera that takes noisy, nasty pictures. I want a camera at least on par with the iPhone. I don't care if it's 3.2mp, make the quality better and THEN worry about MP.
Same form factor, or perhaps 4.5" max SLCD screen w/ gorilla glass
Tegra 2
HDMI out - mirror mode
Better battery life (I'd be happy with 50% better life)
Dual external speakers like Touch Pro 2
Dual mics for noise cancellation
Higher quality construction (metal body would be nice)
Stop the megapixel race with cam..... improve IQ by implementing better image sensor, overhaul image capture software. Make flash usuable in low light situations by increasing shutter speed and decreasing overexposed photos.
Better audio output via 3.5mm jack *lounder, cleaner*
Make internal FM radio antenna which can be used without headphones
NFC
More memory and support for SDXC.
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T
Today, ASUS is introducing the Transformer Prime TF700T, its new flagship tablet and upgrade to the Transformer Prime TF201. The TF700T, which according to ASUS does not replace the TF201, remains practically the same as the original Prime, save for a higher resolution (1920x1200) display, a better front facing camera (2MP), and featuring a new back panel design.
When ASUS released the original Prime (TF201), early last month, we described it as one hell of a device, packing more power and newer features in an even smaller package than the original Transformer (TF101). Unfortunately, the all-aluminum construction of the Prime caused some serious GPS issues, which ASUS acknowledged as a hardware problem.
Interestingly, it appears that ASUS' main goal of releasing the TF700T is to rectify the GPS issue in the original Prime. Although the majority of the TF700T remains the same as the TF201, the back panel has been significantly modified to enhance WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS performance. While it is laudable that ASUS has chosen to rectify the GPS issue by modifying the back panel, we must question why the TF201 was even released with such an obvious and major design flaw. Indeed, early adopters of the TF201 must be feeling as though ASUS left them holding the bag, so to speak.
The TF700T, as mentioned already, is practically the same as the TF201, but here are the specs anyway:
10.1” (1920x1200) Super IPS+ panel, with a 178 degree viewing angle
1.3 GHz Quad core Cortex A9 NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor (with 12 core GeForce GPU)
8MP rear camera with autofocus, LED Flash, and 1080P recording and 2MP front facing camera with HD video chat
32GB/64GB internal memory, plus 8GB of ASUS Web Storage
WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
2-in-1 3.5mm jack, micro-HDMI output, and microSD card reader
25WHr lithium-polymer battery (should have the same battery life as the TF201)
263 x 180.8 x 8.3mm and 586g
The keyboard dock for the TF700T remains the same as the one for the original TF201:
1 USB 2.0 ports, full-size MMC/SD/SDHC card reader
22 WHr battery for extended battery life
263 x 180.8 x 8 to 10.4 mm, 537g

To start off, I'm new here.
Just ordered my nexus 7 and supposed to be here on Monday.
But for a while I've been asking myself, what would I do if I could make my own tablet.
I wanted to ask you all and see your ideas.
So if you had any budget, how would you customize your own tablet?
Screen?
Processor?
Memory?
Any options such as size, ports, camera, etc.
Hope everyone has some interesting ideas!

I picked one of these up and i must say, it is impressive. Size and weight are nice build quality is acceptable. and features are in the middle area of good enough. It can and has been dual booted with Ubuntu and does have full driver support for Linux. I am waiting to see an Android x86 port.
Some Microcenter's have this tablet open box for $159 which is a steal for these specs.
I bought the 8" for $99. which is pretty much the same thing - just less memory. I would like to try install linux on this device also.
Winbook TW1000 Tablet
I picked one up this week. Microcenter also sells a keyboard/cover/stand for $39 (I believe) but the store that I buy from is currently out of stock.
This tablet is pretty nice for the money - Full version of Windows 8.1, pretty good performance...
Oh, and it'll take up to a 64G micro SD.
EDIT: The Microcenter part number of the "Key Cover" is 409235
someone can help me and upload the driver's for the tw100 10.1" ...I installed the windows 8.1 on these and I don't have now the drivers
