Reading text is a huge benefit. Big docs done in Word and Excel will also be much easier to read and manage with a higher resolution screen. If your video library is done in 1080P/MKV not only with they look better they'll play better because they'll no longer have to downscaled buy the GPU and s/w to fit a lower res screen.

I agree with that! I have a Galaxy Note with a 1280x800 on a 5.3" screen i believe. And the icons are small!

If you look at the pics and video of the TF700 and Acer A700 the UI seems to scale up so it seems that icons and such will be the same size. In-app icons and navigation buttons would be smaller I'd imagine.

Gotcha, makes sense. When is the 700 due for release in the USA. June? Id gladly hold onto my Prime for 2-3 months and sell it a few weeks before it arrives "IF... i decided on it". Im sure there will be plenty of vids on youtube of people over in Europe that get their hands on it first to test soon. This way i can decide is it really worth it.

Since the Prime is mentioned as being "for early adopters," one wonders then if other models--being more mainstream--will have bootloader unlock. Somebody should ask Gary Key.

The 300 should.. It was in the build prop as transformer tf201x lite....

I imagine they have it setup with the updates that it would change the necessary things between tablets... Just like changing the few things from us build to WW build

The date of the availability of the Infinity is very important.

It should replace the TF201 and the 300 series should replace the TF101.

I expect the same range of prices of the actual products.

In terms of diferences between Prime and Infinity, the improvement of the Wifi and GPS with the plastic part on top of the pad should be main thing.

The screen resolution wil not benefit for 95% of the users.

That would make a lot more sense than keeping the 4 products on the market. Probably this will be the long term goal.

Funny, on what grounds do you say that the resolution wont benefit 95% of the users.

If thats the case then they should have just kept 1024x600 till now
