US release is official 4/26/11

I'm not the only one up this early. Was just going to post. I wonder if they'll do the 16gb & keyboard dock for $500.
 
I have $60 in best buy certs. If I can find a 10% off coupon (change of adr packet maybe) I just might spring for the 32gb one at $390.

I hope so, but haven't seen any mention of a combo deal anywhere yet.

I have a NC actually. It's ok. For the $120 I paid for it it's nice, but I do so much on my Epic, the working I have to put into the NC just isn't worth it especially when the experience isn't as smooth. I tinker enough with the phone. Not worth it for my tab too. Now I just need the three hours to put it back to stock to sell it. That's probably the hardest part if you went the embedded route.
 
CDW? People still buy from there? Haven't seen a good deal on anything from them in years. Actually bought an AT&T laptop from themmany many moons ago. Back when they still had trackballs.

Think Amazon and Best Buy will be the two main players early. Transformer is #1 tablet on Amazon UK. Sure they'll aim for that here and knock the gtab down to 2. Maybe get the gtab down to $250...

Do they really make 10% off coupons at Best Buy that you can use on Tablets?
 
I've never seen a coupon from them that limited computer products unless it was brand restricted. They also restrict mobile phones on contracts which I would assume would carry over to tabs associated with carriers. Shouldn't effect wifi only tablets. Will pop by the PO and see if they still have coupons in the packets. If not there's no set timeframe to when they do the 10-12% off coupons.

I know how preorders work. I just haven't seen one done when the availability announcement comes just five days before it's available.
 
Hmmm, now to justify to myself why I should pay $100 more for 32gb.

...which as sure as the sun will rise, its gonna happen.
 
Is the product shipping on the 26th or launching at retailers? BB does not show the product active in warehouse system yet.

Seems the product may be shipping out to retailers on the 26th, or retailers are going to do a very soft launch. No retailers I spoke with have a clue when it will ship.

If you look on their facebook page it says:
There's a "buy now" link too that takes you here.

And the duct tape is back :)

Hmmm. BB seems more clueless than normal (or I am) .... I wonder if BB corporate buyers are on the bandwagon yet? Looks like plenty of other retailers, none the less.

Asus Facebook page is a nice communication tool :)

I predict this product will sell out quickly and many gTablets, Galaxy Tabs and Xooms on eBay.
 
I plan on making a trip next Tuesday to my local BB, Target and Staples (they are all located in same shopping center) to see if they have any Transformers in stock. I really want to get a Honeycomb tablet and $399 is a good price.
