ASUS working on Transformer Prime bootloader unlocking tool

[Mopetar]

From ArsTechnica:

Asus stated it will release an unlocking tool for the development community, but it noted that using the tool will make renting videos via Google impossible and will void the warranty for the product. Asus did not specify a release date for the unlocking tool, but said that it is in development.

Good news for those who like a tablet that they can hack on.

I know search is broken, but it was still on the front page...

so does this mean google is requiring locked boot loaders for some features like renting videos?
