Official Announcements
ASUS revelaed the Transformer Prime at AsiaD 2011 in the second half of October 2011, and the company planned to release the tablet in December. Gamestop's internal systems indicated a December 19 launch for the retail chain. Though we thought a launch too close to Christmas was an unlikely move, units started shipping a few days before Christmas to customers that pre-ordered the tablet. Unfortunately, the 64GB model has been delayed until Q2 2012.

December 19 is when pre-orders started shipping. It's not really the day you could walk into big retail and leave with one, though that probably would've been the case if people didn't place so many pre-orders. First come, first serve.
When is realy come out yet?
When will it be available at best buy, pc Richard in the USA, I'm so waiting for it
poo
Got mine today, and preordered in before Thanksgiving. Just in time for Christmas.
dec19th really ??? 2012 or 13
Im gettin excited bout the quad ccore tegra 3
Release day was 12/19. Its now 12/21. Nobody has one. If apple did this to its legion of fanboys, there would be blood at the genius bar. Amazon says "ships in 4 to 7 weeks." That means "beats the hell out of us when we'll have it,"
Every reviewer I see seems to be reviewing a set of specs, with no hardware in their hands. Anybody actually had one put in their hands yet? When that happens, I'll take a review seriously.
sooo...it's Dec. 19th - who got theirs?
Just checked with pcconnectionexpress.com. They're telling me mid-January to ship.
When will it release in Hong Kong?

Top comment in this pool of madness. I also would prefer an improved copper design in tf prime, howevginal tf (which is great for asus by the way).er I love the aluminium design as well. This is clearly intended to hit a broader market than the ori

why you all know
Lots of people did not know that ASUS has been around forever and they have been building computers forever. Most computers that were ever built, the internals were all built by ASUS. They are one of the best leading technology developers in the world.
Will this be wifi only or will some sort of data package be available?
"Nov '11" refers to November 2011 so the date is not wrong.
