They say true beauty lies within. To that, I say, “Bah!” We know a good-looking device when we see one. Sure, there are workhorse gadgets out there that forego form for function, but if anything has the potential to make us forget about our spec snobbery, it’s a sexy design paired with head-turning functionality. This

Jon R is back to tackle another special holiday episode of Ask the Buffalo. In this episode of ATB, Jon answers the most frequently asked question of all time – “Where do your devices come from, and how do I get them?” So if you’ve always wondered how Jon did it, and if you’re an

In this episode, Jon R. talks tablets, covering the discontinued HP TouchPad, keyboard equipped quad core Asus Transformer Prime and the future iPad successor, the Apple iPad 3. Jon also provides his personal thoughts on his new favorite daily driver, and no, Apple is not involved – not even close! Does The Asus Transformer Prime

While the iPad will always receive its fair share of media coverage, no tablet has been anticipated more in 2011 than the Transformer Prime. On paper, the device’s specs are a tech-lover’s dream: Nvidia’s new Tegra 3 quad-core processor, an incredible 10.1″ Super IPS+ display, estimated 12 hours of battery (18 hours with dock), 8

As with any new device that hits, we’re always eager to see how it stacks up against the competition. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is no exception. Ever since the tablet was unveiled, we’ve been waiting to see if the quad core Tegra 3-powered device is as fast as its specs would suggest. Asus claims

There are certain products in the tech world that are so revolutionary, so ahead of the game, they completely change everything. Most recently, the iPhone (2007), T-Mobile G1 (2008) and iPad (2010) fit the bill. All three offered experiences unlike anything before them – perfect amalgamations of hardware and software. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime falls into that

Well, well, well. It seems like the ASUS’s monstrous Eee Pad Transformer Prime is edging closer to release – happy holidays! The Tegra 3-equipped device has teased us over the past month, but nothing in the way of a release date was ever officially announced. This is the next best thing – it’s now up

You’re killing us, Asus. First the Kal-El equipped Transformer Prime made an appearance at the AllThingsD AsiaD conference. Then it was shown off in the wild wearing its Apple-like keyboard dock. Oh, and just yesterday there was that revealing Eee Pad Strategy slide giving away the expected release date. So, what’s next? Traveling to what

GameStop has officially started selling their previously promised tablets. No, these are not new gadgets, rather, they are pre-existing Android tablets loaded with GameStop content. There’s also the possibility that the retailer will take its game-streaming service out of limited beta and make it available on these devices. Right now, the company is touting three

Sure, ASUS‘ Windows 8 plans are getting plenty of attention, but it also seems to be going for the gusto with Ice Cream Sandwich. We already know that the original Transformer is going to receive this much-anticipated update, as will the Eee Pad Slider, and the Padfone will even launch with it in the early

If you’re not satisfied with that dual-core processor in your tablet, check out the new Transformer 2 tablet from Asus, which boasts a super speedy quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip and measures in at just 8.3mm thick. The device was shown off at AllThingsD’s AsiaD conference in Hong Kong yesterday by Jonney Shih, Asus’ Chief Executive

Back to School means you need a bag full of stuff. Or, at least, it seemed to always involve a pack jammed with school supplies back in my day. Our pals at NVIDIA think so, too. They’ve rolled out this thing called TegraZone that pulls together links, forums, sweepstakes and other  information about the best games

For a lot of people, Hulu Plus is like a necessary evil. No, you don’t get quite the same content through the mobile app that you would online, and your $7.99 per month for shows and movies still comes with ads. But it’s still at the top of the heap for streaming current content to

Reading your magazines on the Zinio app for Android tablets just got a whole lot easier thanks to a partnership with NVIDIA to optimize the app for its Tegra 2 processor.  If you’re sporting an Android Honeycomb tablet with the proper hardware, you should see a world of difference. The Zinio app is available on

It’s a knockdown, drag-out, thrilla in cyber-Manilla between two of the top Heavyweight Honeycomb Contenders of the Summer of 2011. Fighting out of the black corner it’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and out of the, um, “espresso brown” corner it’s the Asus Eee Pad Transformer! These remarkably similarly-specced Android tablets offer almost identical specs,

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is the newest Android tablet on the market, and one I absolutely fell in love with when I reviewed it.  As I wrote in my conclusion: The Transformer is the tablet Android fans deserve. I’m disappointed I have to send my review unit back to the folks at Asus. Before,

As more and more tablets come to market, making a decision of which one is right for you is becoming increasingly difficult. We’ve put together a tablet comparison chart that will hopefully ease some of your decision making headaches. While the iPad and iPad 2 may currently be ruling the roost, there are some serious

As the name would suggest, there is much more than meets the eye with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. The tablet’s spec sheet reads nearly identical to its biggest Android-powered competitor, the Motorola Xoom. Both are powered by NVIDIA’s incredibly capable dual-core Tegra 2 processor, augmented with 1GB of RAM, and enter the market amidst

There has been a lot of talk about how tablets are impacting the sales of netbooks and laptops. While they aren’t expected to kill off laptops entirely, the outlook for netbooks hasn’t been quite as rosy.  Perhaps bridging that impending gap between the two form factors, ASUS has come up with the Eee Pad Transformer
