Asus Eee Pad Transformer Scratch Test (Try it at your own risk)

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 features a chemically strengthened screen made up of Corning Gorilla Glass that helps protect it from bumps and scratches - keeping your tablet looking bright and new longer.

So just how strong is Corning Gorilla Glass? The guy at Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) is getting bored at what they are doing and try something new.

Any of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer owners can try it at their own risk but not the last part of the video for sure.

HTC Flyer aren’t flying at all in Malaysia

HTC Flyer is a portable 7-inch tablet with a digital pen that can do more for you than you can imagine. From creating masterpieces with a stroke of a paintbrush, to taking multimedia notes or even signing digital documents, HTC Flyer puts you in control of any situation. With streaming movies at a touch of your finger, HTC Flyer turns any moment into something special.

For whatever reason, the flyer hasn't exactly been flying off those shelves since its launch a few months ago. Good news however is that from today, HTC have decided to drop the RRP of the Flyer to a cooler RM2099 and on top of that, when you purchase a HTC Flyer, you'll get one of five limited edition skins to pimp up your new tablet. I have to say, the skins looks pretty cool in their own way, a little gaudy, but cool nonetheless.

Why I’m not buzzing at all? A single-core 7-inch tablet selling at RM2099 – I can get a 10.1-inch Tegra 2 (dual-core) tablet at RM1498 in the form of Asus Eee Pad Transformer. That’s why the HTC Flyer aren’t flying at all in Malaysia.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2: The Sequel coming in October 2011?

I haven’t got to know the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101, an Android tablet that employs Asus's netbook expertise, including a keyboard dock that not only makes typing easier - it also doubles the battery life and boosts connectivity.

Asus has just confirmed that they are working on a spanking new Transformer tablet – which will aptly be known as the Transformer 2, of course. This news comes after Asus released their Eee Pad Slider tablet. As for the Transformer 2, the sequel to the Transformer was confirmed by Asus chairman Jonney Shih himself, having mentioned to Forbes that they are currently working on it, but when probed further, he did not reveal further details concerning the hardware that we will be getting inside, apart from the word “impressive”.

Needless to say, this has set the rumour mill to go into overdrive, where some say that the Transformer 2 tablet will run on NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 (Kal-El) SoC that is due for a September debut. Currently, the Transformer tablet (16GB) will set you back by RM1499 (USD399) thereabouts, where it won’t come with the docking keyboard, relying on NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2 SoC and a high-resolution IPS display instead.

So which one are you going for, the current Transformer or the Transformer 2?

Samsung Galaxy R in Malaysia?

Samsung-galaxy-R The Samsung Galaxy R (also known as I9103) is the first handset to walk in the shoes of the Samsung Galaxy S II. A slightly stripped down version of Samsung's flagship, it wears similar looks, packs an equally powerful core and only downgrades the camera to 5 megapixels. Actually, the Galaxy R is the first of many other versions of the S II that we expect to follow – just as was the case with the original Galaxy S, which got a separate version for each major US carrier. The Galaxy R on its part is said to hit a couple of European markets including the UK, and come with a slightly cheaper price tag.

Packing a slightly smaller, 4.2” display than the S II, the Galaxy R also comes with a new processor – dual-core Tegra 2 replaces Samsung's 1.2GHz Exynos. Additionally, Samsung has done a bit of redesign – while the S II could compete with the thinnest and lightest smartphones in the world, at the same time being made out of plastic, the Galaxy R feels solid, crafted out with both metal and plastic, all coming in a body that's a hair thicker.
