Of course, I also like the dock option for the Prime. I haven't gotten it yet, but I could see it coming in handy. |

I'll have to agree with you on the Asus return procedure. Just before Christmas, I had to return an Asus mobo that quit working within a couple months. It was a nightmare. I had to contact Asus in Taiwan through their online RMA procedure. Didn't hear anything from them for 2 weeks. Sent another RMA request at that point. A week later, I received an e-mail with instructions on how to RMA. 2 weeks later, I finally received an e-mail that was from the initial RMA request I submitted. ??
Once I finally got an RMA number, I sent it off. It was returned a little over 2 weeks later.

Final update on my ordeal for anyone who cares:
I got my tablet back yesterday. In total, it took over 4 weeks from the time I sent it in until the time I got it back. They repaired the jack under warranty as promised, but they didn't do anything with the bright pixel (which isn't a big deal) or the charger (which is). I called their tech support line again, and they told me I'd have to send the charger back again before they could send me a new one. I politely told him to go **** himself (not in those words) and that I'd just buy a new one. What an incredibly horrible system... |

Yep, I'm sure you're right. Of course, I've had positive support experiences with HP, Dell, and Samsung as well, though I don't doubt that Apple's top notch in the support department.
Suffice it to say, this experience has irreparably damaged my opinion of ASUS. |

Their "geniuses" are about as far from genius as one can get.

I've been running ICS on my Touchpad for a week or so. Quick and smooth as hell, and much better than that WebOS crap. $150 for a 32gb, 10.1" tablet that runs as smooth as a Galaxy? **** yeah...

I bought this 7" iView tablet for my daughter a couple months ago. It's pretty darn good for a low priced tablet. Specs are up there with the better ones.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...3003&Tpk=iview A guy did all the work to figure out how to root this thing to ICS. He goes by eyeoncomputers. You can find the vids on youtube as well as a link to the tutorials on the forum.

And the wifi only model at sellout.woot is actually $40 cheaper, priced at $139. It doesn't cost more for wifi only.
