[Deal Alert] Unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus For $430 And Refurbished ASUS Transformer TF101 For $250 From eBay

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Nexus, News

Do you love good deals? Because we love good deals. Not only that, but we love to share the good deals we find. With that, here are a pair of goodies that we stumbled across just a little while ago.

Asus Transformer TF101

If you really want an Android tablet, but don't want to kill your wallet, then picking up a refurbished model is a great way to save some coin. I know a lot of users have "refurb-phobia," but that's generally pretty unjustified; refurbs are usually just as good as brand-new gear, but sold at a fraction of the price.

WSJ: Google To Open Online Store This Year, Will Sell Tablets Independently Of Retailers (Perhaps With The Launch Of Jellybean)

Posted by in Android OS, ASUS, Jelly Bean 4.1, News

A report from the Wall Street Journal offers new details on Google's expected shift in Android tablet strategy, and it's reportedly much more than a single Nexus tablet. The move is being likened to the Nexus One launch, with Google at the center of the distribution and support system for a line of branded tablets. The Nexus One might have been too much for Google to handle, but the search giant is apparently moving full speed ahead this go around, which includes plans to open its own online store where it will sell the rumored tablet line.

Back at CES 2012, Asus teased a magical $250 Tegra 3 Android tablet, but we haven't heard anything concrete since then.

[Update x2: Rolling Out Now] ASUS Teases The Next Update For The Transformer Prime - "Awesome New Features Coming"

Posted by in ASUS, Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News

Update:  The update should be available to all users now. Surprisingly, it's still running Android 4.0.3, and Face Unlock is still seemingly absent. It's possible that there was a bit of misinterpretation, since the original changelog was translated from Italian to English and ASUS actually stated that it was working on Face Unlock, not that it would actually be available in this update.

One thing it does bring, however, is something that Prime owners have been missing since the beginning: battery information, so you can finally see what has been chomping away at your precious juice. You can also check notifications without unlocking the device now, which is quite handy.

Still Haven't Received The Android 4.0 Update On Your Transformer TF101? Here's How To Install It Manually

Posted by in Eee Pad Transformer, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News

Many TF101 owners have been [im]patiently waiting on Android 4.0 to hit their devices for at least a week now to no avail. Of course, knowing an update is floating around out there and having to wait for it is even more frustrating than actually waiting for the update to become available, so ASUS UK took to its Facebook page earlier today with a tip on how to get your hands on the update right now from the ASUS support pages for the TF101.

2012-03-05 12h19_10

Seems pretty straightforward, right? The only caveat to be aware of is that there are a few different versions of the 4.0.3 update available for different regions, so make sure you download the correct one.

[Updated] Download: CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Come To Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi, I/O Edition, T-Mo), Galaxy S II, ASUS Transformers (Original TF101 & Prime TF201)

Posted by in Development, Eee Pad Transformer, Eee Pad Transformer Prime, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News
Last Updated: March 4th, 2012

Last week, the CyanogenMod team launched the first CM9 nightly builds for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and Motorola XOOM. As of today, the following devices also have CM9 nightly builds available:

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi and I/O Edition (download: p4wifi) - yay for the latter, as it seems Samsung completely abandoned it - I believe mine is still running 3.1 with no updates in sight.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 SGH-T859 on T-Mobile (download: p4tmo)
  • Samsung Galaxy S II (download: galaxys2) - I wouldn't try this on carrier-specific U.S. variants if I were you, wait for those to surface separately.

[MWC 2012] Hands-On With The Qualcomm S4 Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700KG): Hey, Look - An Antenna Window

Posted by in Eee Pad Transformer Prime, Transformer Pad Infinity, Videos

While at the Google booth earlier today, ASUS was kind enough to let us take a look at the upcoming Transformer Pad Infinity (basically, a beefed up TF Prime), albeit a version we had not yet seen.

The TF700KG is likely going to be a Europe-only device (unless it were to be picked up by a major carrier here in the US), as it has a 4G LTE SIM slot on it, and runs on a Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 dual-core processor. The Infinity also has a 1920x1200 IPS display, significantly higher than the resolution of the Prime. However, one of the biggest changes many people noted that would be coming to the new-and-improved Transformer was the antenna window.

[MWC 2012] Hands-On With The ASUS Padfone: It's A Phone In A Tablet On A Keyboard - With Over 14000mAh Of Juice

Posted by in ASUS, Padfone, Videos

When I first heard about the ASUS Padfone, I thought the idea was a bit laughable. When I tried in person today, my opinion changed substantially. ASUS definitely seems to have done this right - particularly considering it's still a prerelease piece of hardware. My primary concern was in how seamless the transition from phone to tablet would be, and how much the phone's hardware design would suffer because of the docking mechanism.

Addressing the first concern, the transition is quite smooth. Just snap in the Padfone, and the dock lights up and goes to Android 4.0's tablet interface in a matter of seconds.

[MWC 2012] ASUS Unveils The Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T), Packs Tegra 3 Or Snapdragon S4 Under A 1920x1200 Super IPS Display

Posted by in ASUS, News, Tablets

Back at CES, ASUS lit a bit of a wildfire by announcing a new iteration of the Transformer Prime with the model number TF700T. ASUS insisted that this new Prime would not replace the old Prime. To further drive that point home, the Taiwanese company has rebranded the TF700T as the Transformer Pad Infinity and placed it on the top rung of its rather varied tablet ladder.

Here's the specs for the Transformer Pad Infinity. Chances are they'll look a little familiar:

  • Dimensions: 263 x 180.8 x 8.5mm
  • Display: 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 Super IPS+
  • Weight: 586g
  • Processor: 3G/4G LTE - 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 (2 x Krait) / WiFi - 1.6GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 T33 (4 x Cortex A9)
  • Memory: 1GB
  • Storage: 16GB - 64GB
  • Battery: 25Whr
  • Pricing: $599 - $799 est

Starting at $599, the Infinity is now ASUS' most expensive and most powerful tablet.

[MWC 2012] ASUS Sets Its Sights On The Mid-Range Tablet Market With The Transformer Pad 300 Series: 10.1" Tegra 3 Tablets For $399

Posted by in ASUS, News, Tablets

ASUS continues its domination of the Android tablet market with the introduction of the Transformer Pad 300 Series. While the naming scheme for ASUS' tablets may be reaching near-Samsung levels of confusing, the new mid-range tablets look to be a great way to get yourself a 10" tablet without breaking the bank.

The tablet packs the same Tegra 3 SoC as its big brother, though we'd imagine it's clocked a little slower than the Prime and Infinity variants. It also contains the same 22Whr battery and 1GB of RAM. The major difference, thankfully, isn't in lower specs or older versions of Android, but in materials.
