ASUS tablets

[Suntan]

You?re looking for USB host capability and, no. To my knowledge no tablets currently support USB host.

Although it is curious why they would offer multiple USB connections on the dock of the transformer if it only used a USB connection to call home to a larger computer?

I found out that Best Buy is getting the Eee Pad Transformer on May 1. Should launch soon after.

Someone at PreCentral already got one, no keyboard though. He said he'll answer any questions if you got any.

Hopefully other places like newegg come out earlier then that.

Same guy here, and the discussion is more lively (so far/for now) at this site: I have an ASUS transformer. Any questions? - Android Forums

Thanks, I'll head over there and check it out. I'll just read since I don't feel like creating an account.

Where'd you find this out? Haven't seen anything official reported anywhere else...

Most people think the 16Gb will cost 399 from a price leaked by Best Buy. Though an Asus promotion page lists an approximate retail value of $499...

The $499 estimated price is including the keyboard dock.

"Prize: 5 ASUS Eee Pad Transformers 16G without the keyboard dock. Approximate retail value (?ARV?): $499."

I've read the Toshiba tablet will let u run a thumb drive optical drive keyboard or mouse from.usb

So does the Transformer (or any Android tablet for that matter) allow for the management of external storage devices via USB?

The link also says the winner will be announced on April 22nd, and the prize delivered no earlier than May 22nd. I guess one of those two dates will be our release date?

Looks like end of April at $399...

YES! ASUS Eee Pad Transformer coming at the end of this month: $399 for 16GB, $149 for the dock

Atomicage... i hope that link is right because this is what i read in the link i posted...

That depends on whether or not you're buying the optional laptop dock accessory. Those are supposedly going to sell for $150. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer itself will reportedly sell for $550 -- previous reports showing it priced at $400, while tantalizing, were apparently misleading.

The author's source on the $550 price is another Yahoo News article in which the $550 is clearly stated to be an assumption based on European pricing. We all know gadgets tend to be cheaper here in the US due to taxes and other factors, so I think that that information is likely wrong. I'd expect to see something in the $550-650 range for the total package including keyboard. Hopefully on the lower side of that range.
