Description
The first Tegra 3 tablet is a big deal, but Asus’ Transformer Prime is the first of a myriad tablets launching in 2012 with better processors, faster GPUs and sharper screens than the iPad. I’m not going to beat around the bush, since the iPad is the King in this space, with nearly 70% market share.
But more importantly, more than the specs on the ground, it is developer mind share supplying auxiliary fire that will ensure a much-coveted Android “win” in this war. Excuse the obtuse analogy, but when you’re done “ooh-ing” and “aww-ing” over the outside, it is ultimately what you do with a tablet that counts.
The Transformer Prime shipped with Android 3.2.1 but has now been upgraded to a fairly stable Android 4.0.3. Follow us as we you through the hardware design, the awesome specs, the delights and, occasionally, the problems.
