We know a few things about the forthcoming Eee Pad Transformer update. It was revealed by Asus earlier in the week that it will indeed be a Tegra 3 powered, quad-core device, and now we get our first look at it. Or at least, we get to see one of the Eee Transformer Prime’s corners, revealing a very thin chassis indeed:
We assume it will have another three corners, making a rectangle.
The official Asus teaser site boasts that the Transformer Prime update will be “faster, stronger, slimmer, and of course, sexier” than the excellent original Android Eee Pad. All good. Apart from the rather childish name. We don’t all watch rubbish films and cartoons about robots, Asus.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ October 22, 2011That weirdshit comment about the name being childish says more about the blogger being an out of touch miserable nerd than it does about Asus’ overtly tongue-in-cheek name choice. The guy who wrote that most definitely got his lunch money beaten out of him daily at school – and rightly so :)

And it’s OK to not like popular things.

/ October 23, 2011Its a blog, they’re meant to have personal opinion in them. I’d rather have tongue in cheek comments like that than a simple reposted press release followed by “that certainly sounds exciting, we’ll see what its like when its out” or other such brainrot.
