Kind of a stupid question, I saw an article on androidcentral listing the various retail stores that would carry the transformer, most of the were websites including bestbuy.com . Will they be available in store too?

Yes. I called my Best Buy today to confirm.

Thanks man! Just making sure, glad I can ask stupid questions and not be attacked lol

:-(

Well, NewEgg charged me but did not ship. I guess I won't mind too much if it ships tomorrow.

Anyone else's order sitting at "charged?"

It won't ship until it can arrive on Tuesday or later.

I have no will power. I want this thing now. I'd settle for having it in my cart. Arughhhhhhh!

tineras · Apr 22, 2011

I'll believe it when I see it, but the delivery date is listed as 4/22.

Unfortunately I chose a shipping service that only delivers on weekdays (not weekends). So I'm guessing it will leave tomorrow and arrive on Monday. I should have looked more closely at the options. BUT, if for some strange reason I get an update that it will arrive tomorrow, I'll share that here.

EDIT: I'm waiting on an Official update from the UPS page. The UPS site still doesn't have any actual shipping info for my tracking number.

Zach Alt · Apr 22, 2011

If it says 4/22, that's tomorrow, and it's a weekday, it will get there.

You lucky SOB!

You HAVE to have some sort of data connection to use Google Maps or Navigation -- the map data is not stored locally. That isn't limited to the Transformer. It's not even A-GPS. I think Engadget doesn't understand that.

Zach Alt · Apr 22, 2011

Yeah, engadget is being frakking stupid. It's ridiculous.

dfin13 · Apr 22, 2011

Haha the story disappeared after the comments section filled up with rebuttals. No retraction, just Engadget pretending they didn't publish a story without checking the facts.

bullet2300 · Apr 22, 2011

Rofl, I love how they ended th story with:

"Thanks, Richard"

I know they always thank their source at the end, but this as just too funny since it was all wrong/non-story info lol

Seriously, they are getting bad. You would think a tech site would know that a GPS sensor is not the same thing as offline maps. They even started calling it a-gps which relies on cell towers.

They should retract their i-loving review while their at it. Let me summarize:

"The Good: Hardware (read: better h/w than Apple at $100 less)
The Bad: Software (read: all problems will eventually be fixed, esp when it sells out faster than a U2 concert)

For more details, read Anandtech's review."

Getting way OT here. Please keep this for US ordering & stores that sell it.

evilPERSOn2009 · Apr 22, 2011

jyan_osu · Apr 22, 2011

Well, it has some info on the tracking # at least now

Woo.. UPS says it will be delivered by 3PM today

I will post some pics as soon as it arrives.. might have to be from my phone cam as my wife's not letting me on my computer since i had outpatient back surgery to shave one of my discs from hitting my spinal cord. i'll use the phone though since she lets me use that if thats the case. right now she's sleep so i am sneaking time in. the miracles of modern medicine.. back surgery and i'm home the same day
