Ipad vs Xoom vs Transformer

Also, call up your local bestbuys..... Was just near the one at work, and they seemed to have 2-3 in stock when I inquired

For people with target red cards you get a total of 60 buck off I think. I ended up canceling my order with B&H and going with target.com cause of this.

Anyone with a jailbroken iPad 2? Got mine today and can't find anything, is it just not jailbroken on any iOS version yet? Anyone know the best place to follow for information regarding jailbreak and progress towards it?

Just an update, Target.com canceled all the recent transformer orders today.

That fucking sucks..........

also, engadet did a update on the stock issue of the transformer. I guess asus is only pushing out 10,000 units a month due to some supply issue. They were estimating to have 300,000 out by the original release date......

**testdummy** · 2011-05-04 01:54

That explains the huge lack of supply the retail chains were running into. It goes in and of sales in minutes at all the major retailers.

Rumors have it that the Japan shit storm is the reason for the lack of a key part needed to make them. Not to mention they oversold in their international releases and have even fewer than what was planned for the US release.

**Omnipotent** · 2011-05-04 11:33

Just urks me that when they sold out in the UK, the wouldn't think they would do the same thing in the US. They had a week difference at least to up production in response to the huge demand, but instead they chose to make a transformer the Big foot of tablets.

**kareface** · 2011-05-04 11:49

I don't think they had a choice in the matter. If they are missing a part, they are missing a part.

Currently there is no jailbreak for iPad 2.

FYI, don't cancel your bestbuy order because of this target discount. We pricematch so just show them this and when you pick up your transformer they will mark it down to 360

I think one of the big discounts from target was a online coupon...... didn't think bestbuy price matched those?

**testdummy** · 2011-05-05 05:43

Yeah, it was a huge coupon for 10% off.

Code:

Subtotal of Items:      $399.99
Shipping & Handling:      $7.78
Promotion(s) Applied:     -$40.00
      -----------
Total before tax:      $367.77

Argue hard enough, I promise you they will.

Asus is denying the shortage saying they'll produce 100,000 this month. We'll see I guess, lol.

Love mine so far.

Battery life is awesome, can easily last a entire work day for me.

Apps can be hit or miss, since alot are not optimized for honeycomb yet.

New flash update lets me play hbogo, and hulu videos with no problems as well.
