Custom ROM? Asus Transformer Pad 300 gets bootloader unlock tool
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 0 Comments">0
The Transformer Pad 300 might not be the hottest Android-based tablet available these days, but Asus has its ways to ensure the popularity of the company’s products. The 10-incher quad-core tablet has just gotten a bootloader unlock tool, so if custom ROMs are your thing, the “games” can now officially begin! Following in the footsteps of the Transformer Prime, the Transformer Pad 300 has been released last month with pretty much the same tech specs as its predecessor, but with a plastic exterior replacing the sturdy and elegant Prime’s aluminum body. Asus has released a bootloader unlock tool for the …
ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity is FCC-approved. Release to follow soon?
by Ankit Banerjee on May 22, 2012 19 Comments">19
The high-end tablet market has been largely ignored over the past few months, with a slew of low-cost, but impressive Android 4.0 tablets hitting the stores. While there are a lot of such budget-friendly options, there is obviously something far more attractive about those quad-cored, high-resolution tablets, regardless of the much higher price point. ASUS has been slowly circling the high-end tablet market with the release of the Transformer Prime last year, which is slated to be followed by the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity. The flagship device, first spotted at CES 2012 as the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T, …
With Galaxy S3 rumors over, let the next Nexus rumor party begin
by Lucian Armasu on May 16, 2012 7 Comments">7
For more than half a year, we’ve had more than enough Galaxy S3 rumors. Some of them were pretty crazy, like the 1080p screen, while others were predictable (the quad core Exynos 4412 chip). Samsung delivered some of the more predictable ones, while it failed to hit the target on others (Pentile screen), and also disappointed some people with the design and build quality. These have been some of the major flaws of all Galaxy S devices, and yet Sammy didn’t do much to address them. So with that in mind, you should always be at least a bit skeptical …

![Asus releases official Padfone demo, the device within a device looks amazing! [Video]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/asus-padfone.jpg)
Unveiled back at MWC in March, the Asus Padfone was one of the stars of the technology trade show. One of the most original devices of the past couple of year, the smartphone-within-a-tablet-within-a-netbook (it’s got a stylus too) seems almost too good to be true. After being first previewed more than a year ago, the Padfone should finally hit the Western markets sometimes soon. The all-in-one device has already been priced and released in Taiwan, and it’s expected to hit Europe by the end of May. The United States launch is not yet confirmed, but a fresh official demo video should …
Leak suggests ASUS Padfone 2 is in the works
by Ankit Banerjee on May 12, 2012 9 Comments">9
With the excitement over the Samsung Galaxy S3 dying down (or is it?), it is once again time to look forward to the next device to create waves in the Android device world. While the Samsung Galaxy Note has been dubbed a “phablet” due to it’s large tablet-like screen size and phone capabilities, the ASUS Padfone is in a class of its own. The Padfone features an Android smartphone that docks into a tablet shell, which then functions as a tablet. This setup can further be connected to a keyboard dock, to work as a laptop. And it has a …
Asus wants to become Android tablet top dog by the end of the year
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 02, 2012 9 Comments">9
After picking up a report from Digitimes claiming that tablet shipments will increase significantly in Q2 2012 and that Asus is set to claw its way to top-3 by June, it now seems that the Taiwanese company has set its sights even higher. In a recent investors’ conference, Jerry Shen, Asustek Computer’s CEO, talked about the company’s main goals in 2012 and made a couple of very bold statements. According to Shen, Asus wants to become the world’s top Android tablet vendor by the end of the year and estimates that it will ship around 3 million such devices worldwide. …
Digitimes: Global tablet shipments to grow steadily in Q2, Nexus Tablet to help Asus get in top 3
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 02, 2012 2 Comments">2
While it hasn’t advanced quite as rapidly as the smartphone market, the tablet world is in the midst of indisputable progress and will continue to grow in Q2 2012. At least that’s what Digitimes is claiming in a fresh report based on the website’s numerous “hardware sources”. According to said research, global tablet PC shipments could grow 47.5% year-on-year to 21.58 million units from April to June. On the other hand, compared to the first quarter of 2012, shipments should actually drop 8.2%, which is not that surprising, given that the third-generation iPad has started selling in March. The new …
TSMC can only meet 70% of the demand for 28nm chips. First victim? The Asus Padfone
by Bams Sadewo on May 02, 2012 0 Comments">0
Some of the world’s finest artwork took years of labor to complete, so it shouldn’t be surprising to see Asus taking its sweet time with its masterpiece candidate, the Asus Padfone. First teased more than a year ago, we’ve seen the Padfone finally launching in its Taiwan home country in April. Now a tweet from Asus Indonesia seems to suggest that the launch date for other regions could be in jeopardy. Although the tweet didn’t mention specifically any launch delays, it said that Qualcomm is having problems meeting the demand for its highly sought-after Snapdragon S4 processor, which spells trouble for …
Asus now shipping the Transformer Pad 300 for $379
by Bams Sadewo on Apr 23, 2012 0 Comments">0
Hard as it may be to suppress the urge to have the latest and greatest gadget, waiting a couple of months for a newer yet less expensive model to be released by your favorite tablet manufacturer can pay off handsomely. Case in point, the Transformer Pad 300 tablet that Asus has made available today, and how the fine specs that the tablet has to offer don’t require you to break the piggy bank. Asus has kept its word to ship the latest variant of its Transformer lineup, the Transformer Pad 300, on schedule. We don’t think it’s an entry level …
Asus Transformer Pad 300 up for pre-order on Amazon, shipping on April 22
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 18, 2012 3 Comments">3
After being spotted at a French retailer, as well as at J&R last week, in what looked like some fishy early listings designed to mess with our heads, the Asus Transformer Pad 300 has today gone up for pre-order on Amazon, with a release date set for April 22. Unfortunately, we are still unsure of the gadget’s price tag, which could be anywhere from $399.99 to $489.99 (for the 32 GB model). What makes us say that? Well, the tablet initially popped up with a $399.99 tag next to its name on Amazon, but that was quickly changed to a …

Asus Transformer Pad 300 spotted in retailer pre-order listings, might start at $379
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 11, 2012 1 Comments">1
If you like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet, but the gadget is just a bit over your budget, you are probably eagerly awaiting for the Transformer Pad 300. Looking almost identical with Asus’ current number-one slate, the Transformer Pad 300 is rumored to come with the same winning hardware under the hood and Android Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, but with a plastic exterior rather than the aluminum body of the Prime. We suspected for a while that the cheaper build materials will take about 100 bucks off the tablet’s price, and today we have the first …
