Asus Transformer Prime Coming December 8th?

I'm wondering what would happen if I put an unbuntu live install on an SD card and popped it into tablet... would it come up? That would be freaken fantastic. Chip out? Android Tablet. Chip in? Ubuntu!

I would say its the first tablet "capable" of running ICS as acer announced its going to be for the Transformer 1 as well.

Asus*

it will also reportedly be the first tablet capable of running Google's next edition of Android, v4.0 aka "Ice Cream Sandwich."

er no, Google have said that any tablet that can run Honeycomb (Android 3.x) is actually "capable" of running version 4.0 ICS too (without going into the myriad of issues with kernel and driver support).

I think you'll find that the Transformer Prime "may" be the first tablet to get an official vendor-released update to ICS (since it will be shipped with HC 3.2)

[citation][nom]donovands[/nom]Transformer Prime? Isn't someone going to sue? Will the next version be the ASUS Megatron? (In which case I will be forced to buy it on the awesomeness of its name alone)[/citation]
Megatron should be reserved for Asus' next Transfromer device running Win8

[citation][nom]Marco925[/nom]While your statement made me laugh, it isnt quite as close as Optimus Prime.[/citation]

No but there is a cartoon currently airing called "transformers: prime" Maybe the "s:" is enough of a difference to not be sued haha

I just preordered the 32gb at BestBuy.com.

My receipt says: "Pre-order release date is 12/18/2011."

Very tempting, but too bad it's Android...
