Asus Eee Android Tablet Confirmed $399 April 26th Release

[Uppsala9496]

Thanks. I spend the weekends in the summer at a cabin that has a 37" lcd, but no cable/satellite. Was wondering if I could stream movies off this versus having to lug the ps3 up.

Tegra2 is not what you want for HD playback.

Huh? Even a Hummingbird can play back 720p without issues.

If you want to re-encode your mkv videos I guess Tegra2 would be fine. But your looking at doubling the size of the video when you do that.

LOL, OOS already...

I'm holding off on an Android based tablet a bit longer, at least until there's a Netflix app...

Am thinking 2nd or 3rd gen will be sweet...

Well, I'm out as far as this tablet goes, I liked my girl's iPad so much I went and got one of my own today. Maybe next time.

By the time I have some fun money, hopefully 2nd or 3rd gen will be out. 😛

my dock just arrived from Newegg, posting from the docked Transformer now, this is pretty sweet, the keyboard/dock is roomy, feels solidly built!

Got mine as well and love it... getting ready to PM the ASUS dude on xda to get the latest dock firmware

Question:

Can you DL files directly to an SD/USB card? ie going to dell.com and dl'ing drivers

it seemed hit or miss for me... like straight up download links such as http://myfile.zip are good to go, but things that pop up to download (if that makes sense) wouldn't work for me

BTW, TigerDirect has both 16GB and 32GB of the tablet in stock, go get it. 🙂

Only seeing the 32gb one.

 

[zerogear]

Only seeing the 32gb one.

Ah, must've gotten sold out by the time I posted it 🙁

 

[Adramalech]

Bummer, already unlisted on their website 🙁

 

[randay]

just snagged a 32gb or two from bestbuy online. you folks who are trying to get one should really take a look at that nowinstock.net website.

 

[zoiks]

Finally I was able to get the 16gb one from walmart. Used nowinstock.net

Have any of you lucky buyers gotten the keyboard dock? Wondering how plausible this is for light office work.

Joanna Stern's review has a pretty favorable view on the keyboard dock.She wrote the review on the Transformer+Keyboard dock.

[MagickMan]

Geekbabe likes the KB dock.

 

[s44]

I didn't mean the dock per se, but the actual usability of the combo and whatever office apps as (for example) a word processor.

Joanna Stern really seemed to like it, though.

Man you have to be a damn ninja to get one of these. nowinstock.net alerted earlier that the 32GB was in stock at Walmart. I hit the site in seconds, and it was gone as soon as I tried to add it to my cart.
