Eee Pad USB Cable

[Q.Entity]

I tried to find a spare USB cable for the Eee Pad and no luck. It makes me nervous to have a proprietary format cable without a spare.

Considering how difficult is to the get an Eee Pad, I wonder how to get the cable...

Thanks!

Just wait a little bit, the galaxy tab also had a proprietary plug and now ebay is flooded with adapter/plug/charger, i guess we will see more accessories when stock will be easily available...

You are right. Things always how up once the supply gets going... I wish they did not have a proprietary cable. I understand why they did it but...

I'm a little disappointed they didn't just use MicroUSB.... then and again, I don't think any of the tablets on the market currently do?

just about all the cheap ones do (i think some have mini-usb) also the archos, xoom, i believe the iconia has a full usb port...

it would have been nice to include an extra cable with the dock.

An OEM that releases a device that uses a proprietary cable to supply the device with power IMHO has a responsibility to see to it that customers can readily purchase replacement cables. People do lose/break things and without a way to charge the TF it's an expensive paper weight. I hope Asus is listening & will rectify this situation quickly, I'd love to purchase a backup cable.

I would like to have another one so I can have one at home and one at work. I forgot the cable at home today and now can't connect it to my computer here at work.

No Bluetooth on my computer. Is it possible to transfer files over wifi?

I use ES File Explorer to transfer files between my pc and my HTC Desire, it works very well.

Thank you, I'm going to give it a try now.

Problem with the galaxy tab is it uses a connector that is very similar to Apples connector except that the pin backplane is reversed, which wouldn't be hard to change for manufacturers of non-licensed Apple connectors

While Asus's cable connector is probably made in house and proprietary
so who knows how long it will take for others to make knockoffs of the connectors


It would have been nice if Asus included a micousb connector on the transformer at least for charging and data sync

I created a folder on my Windows PC desktop and 'shared' it, then in ES Lan added a new server using the IP address of my PC.

Definitely hoping they'll release the official cables soon or allow 3rd party to make them. Kinda sucks when my cable broke and no other ways to charge the darn thing.

Really having a hard time only having one cable, and especially since it is a cheap feeling one to start with

somewhat insane to not have even power cords available at launch. Shame on your asus.

Thats what i thought too, but i need to charge it in my car, and it wont charge with any of my cigarette lighter USB chargers because it uses the damn special charger from Asus

Either i wait for a car charger or just buy another charging pack and hook it up to a power inverter in my car

I really wish they would have just used a standard USB connector instead of a USB 3.0 one
