Default Stereo speakers or mono?

Which one is with the prime?

The spec lists stereo, but I saw one speaker.

Or is it stereo only with the dock?

That's sucks....

As far as I can gather, it's one speaker, but it sounds as good or better than any other tablet out there, with good sound volume. It fires out of the back on one side of the tablet.

If you read here, the official spec:

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_...specifications

It says stereo speakers ....

Misleading? Not true? Or with dock only?

One speaker is not stereo, nor mentioned as "speakers" ...

Maybe we have only one grill but 2 speakers, one on each side.
Think about inital iPhone(s). They had no grills at all.
I don't think they would put "stereo" on their page if we have only one speaker...

?? Original iPhones DID have a speaker grill.. very bottom left or right.. otherside was for microphone. The speaker quality was just horrible and quiet.

It is monaural, as confirmed by Engadget's review, and they also criticized the poor speaker placement. Nor did they rave about the sound quality or volume -- they described it as only "quite good", when not blocked by your hand due to the location of the speaker grille.

Sorry folks, but to me the sound seems to have been downgraded to achieve the slimmer chassis. There's still a possibility it is louder, but that's about it.

The dock is supposed to have it's own set of speakers though, correct?
