That's pretty nice! I love when companies future proof their hardware. It shows they stand behind it and are more likely to update it for a long time.

I wish ASUS made phones...

Report: Asus Limited To Only 10k Transformer Tablets Per Month Due To Component Shortage

We hear by way of our good friend Sascha Pallenberg that a component shortage is to blame for the low initial volumes of the Asus Transformer. Apparently Asus is running well below of its capacity and only outing about 10k units per month, rather than 300k. The shortage is reportedly expected to remain until mid-June. No word on exactly which component is to blame here, but it doesn’t really matter as the damage has been done. The Transformer is just the latest sob story for Android fanboys everywhere.

I got my updated shipping date today from amazon, says: Delivery Estimate: May 5, 2011... so hopefully that is actual delivery not ship date but either way I'm happy for the update!

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Pre Order Cancelled at Target

Saw that. Not sure what it means.

Might cancel my pre-order depending on when Verizon brings out the bigger Samsung Galaxies. But want something before upcoming surgery. My HPdv8 is way too big to carry into hospital! And the phones are too small to really watch Bones. :blink:

I wonder if this shortage has anything to do with the story that Apple is buying up most of the production capability of screens or if it is because of the Japan quake. I'm guessing more likely the quake. It's too bad for ASUS, as their products are very good and I would like for this item to be a big success.

My guess is a combination of both. There was probably already not that many because of Apple and then once the quake hit it was the nail in the coffin.
