			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T will be priced SRP £399 (including VAT) for the bundle configuration that includes the mobile keyboard dock, and available to order online from early May at <a href="http://www.currys.co.uk/">Currys </a>and <a href="http://www.pcworld.co.uk/">PC World</a> and available in-store at Currys and PC World from late May, and then widely available from all retailers from late June.<br />
The Royal Blue model will be available at launch, whilst the Iceberg White model will be available late June and Torch Red model available late July.<br />
<img src="http://asus.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/TF300-Colours2.jpg" alt="" title="TF300 Colours" width="600" height="335" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1119" /><br />
The new ASUS Transformer Pad is a powerful, yet affordable, tablet with a host of features onboard. Available in three stylish colors, the ASUS Transformer Pad is aptly named thanks to the mobile dock that allows it to transform from a tablet into a notebook. When docked, total battery life is rated up to 15 hours, while also increasing productivity with a full QWERTY keyboard, multi-touch touchpad and USB/SD Card ports. Housed in the Transformer Pad is a powerful NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 Quad-core CPU, ASUS SonicMaster technology for an incredible audio experience and an 8MP auto-focus camera that shoots crystal clear photos. The Transformer Pad is running the Android™ 4.0 operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich) that is upgradable and features exclusive software for added productivity.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible design</strong><br />
The Transformer Pad comes in three stylish colors: Royal Blue, Iceberg White and Torch Red. It also boasts an elegant concentric patterned finish that hints at the ASUS Zen philosophy found in the ZENBOOK™ and Transformer Pad Prime. With a profile that’s 9.9mm thin and<br />
635g light, the Transformer Pad can easily be carried around all day, and when combined with the ASUS exclusive Mobile Dock, it turns into a productivity workstation. A QWERTY keyboard and multi-touch touchpad offers a true notebook experience, while a USB port and SD card<br />
slot provide additional storage options.<br />
<img src="http://asus.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EeePad_TF300_2_Blue_014.jpg" alt="" title="EeePad_TF300_2_Blue_014" width="600" height="434" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1123" /><br />
<strong>Ultra performance</strong><strong> </strong><br />
Powering the Transformer Pad is NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 4-PLUS-1™ quad-core CPU with an integrated 12-core GeForce® GPU that provides superior performance, multi-tasking, smooth Full HD 1080p video playback and console-quality gaming. The “PLUS-1” is an extra battery-saver core in the CPU that handles low-power tasks like active standby, music and video, and is transparent to the OS and applications. It offers the best combination of ultra-performance with low power consumption – up to 10 hours on the Pad and extended up to 15 hours when combined with the Mobile Dock.</p>
<p><strong>Supreme sound</strong><strong> </strong><br />
In addition to its stylish design, the Transformer Pad uses audio powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology. Tuned by the ASUS Golden Ear Team, SonicMaster technology features a combination of advanced hardware and software designed to deliver an immersive audio experience.<br />
<img src="http://asus.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EeePad_TF300_2_Blue_024.jpg" alt="" title="EeePad_TF300_2_Blue_024" width="600" height="470" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1124" /><br />
<strong>Unrivaled visual acuity</strong><strong> </strong><br />
The Transformer Pad boasts a wide 178° viewable IPS display so images are sharp and easily shared with friends. A 1.2MP front camera allows for video conferencing while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus takes brilliant photos thanks to a large F/2.2 aperture, 5-element lens, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus, depth of field effect and low light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos. The 8MP camera on the Transformer Pad also has the ability to take Full HD 1080p video.</p>
<p><strong>Unlimited productivity</strong><strong> </strong><br />
Featuring the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, the Transformer Pad runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets and deep interactivity. Also onboard is the preinstalled SuperNote application, which has the ability to take, draw or record notes, while Polaris™ Office is a great productive tool that gives users the ability to read or create Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-07 version compatible) files. With 32GB of internal memory, a microSD slot and 8GB of free storage on ASUS WebStorage for life, users can store and share their memories anytime, anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Accessorize the Transformer Pad</strong><br />
Accessories built for the ASUS Transformer Pad helps users get more out of it, extending the overall user experience. All offer instant convenience and style, working seamlessly with the same light and compact form factor. One such cover is the TranSleeve Dual, a durable, dual-positioning, multi-view angle sleeve that supports handheld video watching and ergonomic typing. Also available are micro HDMI to VGA or HDMI cables, an external SD Card reader, external USB Port adapter and a USB to Ethernet adapter, all designed to complement your ASUS Transformer Pad.<br />

<p>The <a href="http://techinstyle.tv/products/asus-eee-pad-transformer-best-selling-tablet-on-amazon/" target="_blank">Eee Pad Transformer</a> is a 10.1” tablet with a detachable keyboard dock that’s both slim and light enough to slip into a bag and be carried everywhere with ease. Thanks to the Android 3.1 ‘Honeycomb’ operating system and Dual-Core Tegra 2 processor, its powerful enough to stand in for a laptop for most tasks too, whether its email, web browsing or light productivity work.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cdK06xExFj8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<blockquote><p>“<strong>the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is the best Android tablet we&#8217;ve seen to date. The bundled keyboard is what really makes the package versatile. Unlike other tablets we&#8217;ve seen so far, we have no trouble in believing some people could use this as their main and only computer.</strong>”<br /> – IT Reviews 5/5</p></blockquote>
<p>Built-in USB and SD Card slots also add some extra functionality for desktop use, while the Mobile Dock’s dedicated power socket mean that the Transformer can be undocked in just a second for instant mobile use. Not that you’ll necessarily want to leave the Mobile Dock at home, of course — ASUS has also taken the canny step of fitting it with its own internal battery that pushes the Transformer’s standard 9.5 hour battery life to an extremely impressive 16 hours.</p>
<blockquote><p>“<strong>The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is undoubtedly the best of the few hybrid devices we’ve yet seen</strong>”<br /> – PC Pro 5 Stars</p></blockquote>
<p>The feedback from media and customers has been fantastic and the Transformer has been flying off the shelves worldwide. You can still grab one from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Transformer-Android-docking-station/dp/B004TB0EXY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;s=computers&#038;qid=1301566307&#038;sr=8-5">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711">Comet</a>, <a href="http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/r/tf101/0_0_0/">Currys</a>, <a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/262116-asus-transformer-tf101-tablet-pc-tf101-1b028a">Ebuyer</a>, <a href="http://www.anvika.com/product/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-1b028a-10-1-16gb-docking-station/asu15002/">Micro Anvika</a>, <a href="http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/r/tf101/0_0_0/">PC World</a>, <a href="http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/broadband/tablet/buy/ASUS-EEEPAD-TRANSFORMER">Carphone Warehouse</a> and <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/231281911/Product.aspx?SearchTerm=tf101">John Lewis</a>.</p>

<h4>Android 3.2 is here!</h4>
<p>From the 2nd August, Transformer owns will have the option of installing Android 3.2 via a FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) update.</p>
<p>One of the biggest changes with 3.2 is the compatibility zoom. Smart zoom smartphone apps to fit the native resolution of the screen, so all you favourite apps will now use the entire screen in all its hi-def glory.</p>
<p>A change that is a big one for the Transformer is that the touchpad on the Keyboard Dock will have multi-gesture support! This means that you will be able to use your touchpad in exactly the same way you use the touchscreen on the pad!</p>
