It might seem a little crazy to release a new version of a product about a month after the initial release, but that is what Asus has done with the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The display has been updated to 1920 x 1200 the aluminum cover slightly redesigned to accommodate better WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Additionally, the front facing camera was updated 2.0MP from the previous 1.2MP unit. I’ve got to hand it to Asus for not beatting around the bush on taking those correcting steps. Also, Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich – ICS) is on board. [click to continue…]

What do you think of this design? Other than bluetooth keyboard makers, I’m guessing users will like this no compromise tablet design.
