Confirmed: ASUS Transformer Prime Releasing in US Starting December 8th

OT but makes me happy!

Possibly 2 awesome devices on the same day! My wife will be less than thrilled when I lock myself in my office all weekend long!

Maybe she'll be happy that you've finally got your toys and can stop obsessing. :p

Verizon would have to be moving pretty fast to get stuff up for tomorrow... If the latest test update just went out yesterday. That doesn't give them a lot of time to test and decide its good enough to set dates.

Unfortunately, this is just the start of the obsession...never rooted a phone before but want to do that asap on this one (freaking out about it though that I will do it wrong). May root the tablet (if the phone goes ok) but not sure if there is really a reason to yet.

I don't doubt your credentials and, actually, agree your general assessment , I just think your response was condescending.

I'm sorry that you took it as condescending. I've got a very straight forward personality and tell it like it is. There is already so much questionable information floating around the thread, that I felt I might as well point out the fact that people are wasting their time asking at the store level.

In that case, I hope you have a comfortable couch or chair in there. Lol.

Haha, sorry. How about this. On the bright side, they probably have a release Pre-approved, just need to put in a date and its done. Phones are at the warehouse already staged per britishturbo, so they should be set up to move quickly if they want to :)

Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Through This (Nexus Remix)

I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
I gotta take my, gotta take my mind off you

Give me just a second and I'll be all right
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

When rumors are pouring like the rain
I close my eyes and you're gone again
When will I get the chance to say I want you
I pretend that you're already mine
That my heart ain't breaking every time
I can't look at you with my eyes

If only I could get through this
Gotta help me get through this
 
Brilliant video recorded at ARM's launch of the Cortex A7 and the big.LITTLE concept for SoCs. The speaker is the GM of OMAP mobile computing:

ARM Cortex-A7 launch interview - Deepu Talla, Texas Instruments - YouTube

Starts by talking about the OMAP4460 (which is in the Nexus) and how it saves battery life when rendering flash videos (1080p specifically) by running them mostly on the GPU (CPU will only be running at 5%:eek:).


A little off topic:
This video, which is also from ARMs channel, gives more insight into how the Linux kernel will deal with the big.LITTLE architecture, without app developers having to lifting a finger:

ARM Cortex-A7 launch interview - Jesse Barker, Linaro - YouTube

Just thought I'd share as I found it interesting that an SoC concept can hopefully deal with the poor battery life we see on ALL smartphones today. Who knows, maybe someone will invent a new type of battery which will also increase the time between charges...maybe then smartphones will last as long as those old Nokias.:D

Did you guys see the tweet from P3 saying Android wifi tether doesn't work on the nexus?
Click to expand...

I would not be suprised in the least that this was part of the holdup. Getting Verizon's Mobile Hotspot app on there. Man that pisses me off. Just like VZW did on the D3 with Gingerbread.

P3's tweet..

This was brought up a couple of hundred pages ago, but there is more information on the CarrierIQ spyware that apparently is getting installed on lot of android phones. Apparently some verizon phones come with it installed, but I haven't been able to find a list yet.

BUSTED! Secret app on millions of phones logs key taps ? The Register

Here is one of the older news reports

This is verizon's fault.

Seriously, glad your OK.

Come on . . . this is Android we're talking about. Do you REALLY think that the developers at XDA or elsewhere will not get a working wifi tether going for this phone?

It's not even released to us here stateside yet and look at the hacks already.

:rolleyes: and shakes head.
