The Asus Transformer Prime is being reported as the second highest selling tablet on amazon (according to Android Tablet Universe - Tablet Reviews & News). Pretty wild eh! I found some primes in stock too

Ordered my Prime on the 5th, to replaced my hacked Nook Color. Not supposed to get here until the 30th to the 5th of April. Not sure if I can wait that long, might go nuts first!

Pre ordered from Amazon.ca 64GB. The journey takes place on 16 December. I hope to be about 20 or 21 December have to. Whooo hooo ... can not wait. So I ordered the keyboard Futurshop.ca, we should have about the Same Time. After Futureshop.ca, he is pre-feed control or 32 GB of premium out of stock.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime doesn't yet have a solid release date, but the 10.1-inch tablet is available for pre-order.

Asus has launched the site asustablets.us which links to Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, GameStop and Tiger Direct, where the Transformer Prime is on pre-sale in the U.S., as well as Canada's Future Shop and NCIX.

Selling at a price of $499 for 32-gigabytes of built-in storage, or $599 for 64-gigabytes of storage, the Transformer Prime features a 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, 1-gigabyte of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The tablet will also have a mini-HDMI port for connecting to an HDTV and a microSD card slot for added storage.

But the bigger draws of the Transformer Prime, so far, have been the potential performance might of the device's Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. Asus has also said the slate will be among the first to run Google's new Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

Quad-core processors, so far, have been found only in desktop computers and high-end laptops. Whether or not this will result in a better tablet, with tangibly superior performance over dual-core tablets such Apple's iPad 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Motorola Xoom, among others, remains to be seen.

But the PC comparisons aren't lost on Asus. For a price of $149, the Taiwanese company is making available a full-sized keyboard and trackpad dock that will allow the Transformer Prime to mimic the look (and ideally the operation) of a laptop.
