Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Review
Updated: See official announcement below. Sat down with the folks from Asus Philippines this afternoon to talk about a contest we’re launching for our readers here at YugaTech. So I asked them what’s with the delay of the Asus Transformer and when it will be released to the public.
Apparently, there’s been a huge demand for the Transformer that it pushed back the release of the tablet in the Philippines. Obviously, we’re not really that big of a market to be prioritized.
Still, it’s good to know that the Asus Transformer is finally coming by end of this month (the date July 23 was bounced around but that’s not yet solid).
Update:
Manila, Philippines (July 15, 2011) – For all the Filipinos who have been anxious and impatient about the availability of the the Eee Pad Transformer, Asus Philippines officially announced its availability locally. This is the same tablet that immediately sells out in the US upon launch last May. A lot of the consumers buy tablets mainly for the Andorid Apps. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is not only a tablet for entertainment, but also for productivity and creativity.
Powered by Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, this Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet has a unique mobile dock. That’s a full QWERTY keyboard and touch pad with multiple I/O ports 2 USB slots, mini HDMI port, Micro SD and SD slots. This is the tablet for content creation, social communication, HD media playback and smooth realistic game play. If you are currently looking for a tablet for media consumption and mobile productivity, the Eee Pad Transformer is it!
Asus Philippines announced as well that all buyers of the Eee Pad Transformer/Eee Pad on July 20- 23 in any of the Asus authorized dealers in SM Megamall, Mandaluyong can get a chance to win a trip to any Philippine destination!

Awesome idea implemented by ASUS. I was hoping that Sammy would come up with something similar as all their Android tablets and phones have been hitting the mark in terms of pricing and functionality. Here’s hoping that the 3G version is affordable enough..
Anti RH Bill says:
Ipad 2 is the king of tablet. With Jailbreak you can download all the paid apps in itunes for free.
Troll Food says:
Thank you for patronizing piracy. Be proud to be able to afford an expensive tablet (just don’t mention you can’t afford apps that cost way less and it will all work out ;-) and flaunt it to the poor masses. They should envy you because while they steal for food, it’s only apps you are stealing. Stealing a can of sardines can land them in jail but not apps. They are hungry and they deserve it. You deserve the greatest gadgets you have. That’s what being human is. Thank you for being a role model and advancing humanity. I am your number one fan.
EdwinC says:
Who crowned iPad 2 king? You?
al says:
@trollfood haha owned! But pirating apps is just a portion of what you can do with jailbreak though, I personally do it for extended functions and customization. Anyways great spiel
Riko says:
LOL ignorant Fanboy.. Even without rooting/jailbreaking you can sideload apps on android for free with out piracy. You can even Customize the UIs, Icons, Widgets and other functionalities/features which in truth are too many too mention and Apple is starting to copy. And here you say iPad is the King of Tablets?? LMAO. Its just a big iPod Touch.. and I love my iPod Touch. Genius you are.. WOOT!!
daniel says:
haha you afford an iPad 2 but sad to say not its apps… haha. i cant call iPad the king… it has no MASS STORAGE MODE! haha so frustrating.
Jim Lim says:
to each his own. if the guy says that the ipad is the no. 1 or the king, then ask for proof (which in this case i believe you will all lose as ipad is still the leader in market share). you cant just frackin disprove something with hot air. get your facts straight morons!
sooner or later android will surpass the ipad or iOS in general due to a wider variety of devices available that runs android but at the moment they(apple) is the clear winner in the tablet category.
as for the user experience, both has pros and cons so choose whatever works for you and do not fracking argue! damn it!

Asusa Transformera!
RH Bill: actually android has its fair share of games including HD ones thanks to gameloft. no need to jailbreak. ;) and you can play NES, SNES, NEoGeo, Sega, GBA or what have you ROMS by using a single emulator made for Android.
Fleeb says:
He is a troll. He starves for attention that he cannot get IRL.
Grar! says:
Fleeb, you on the other hand is an a$$h0le who waits for every opportunity to use the word troll. also an attention whore
Fleeb says:
OT:
Because he is a troll if you still did not get it. I thought at first this poster was just another fanatic. Not only that he posted something that has nothing to do with Asus Transformer’s release this end of July, he just posts there. It’s like the Jiro Yan guy where in the topic was about if you were to prefer a physical keyboard instead of an on-screen keyboard, he just said he loves his iPhone. He did not even elaborate or connect what it has to do with physical keyboard or not. Similarly.
There are people who has their own preferences and I am okay with that. I can discuss merits and what not.
You did not even defend the guy why he is not a troll and you just called me attention whore. You should have called me Captain Obvious instead and I would understand.
Grar! says:
Dear Fleeb,
GAWD! get over yourself. It’s the internet!
since you asked for it, then the reason why I think the guy is not a “troll” (which i believe your definition is loosely based on impulse – oh off topic, troll!)is because the iPad is a direct competitor of Asus Transformer so it has something to do with the topic. I don’t need to place OT on my post just to alert the administrator that it is OT, because if it is completely OT then he will delete it anyway. The admin won’t even delete your post even if it is about you selling candies as long as you are not offensive.
You are in a world where people live together with other people who have completely different opinion with the other. Just live with it and i believe the word troll already received its retirement benefit. Sorry if I called you an A**hole. Peace ha? :)
Grar! says:
Hi Again Fleeb!
I think that that Jiro Yan guy whoever he is, answered the question quite ambiguously but nevertheless answered it correctly. When somebody answered that he likes his iPhone when asked the keyboard question, that pretty much equates to liking the virtual keyboard on his iPhone. no offense but you need to learn how to read between the lines sometimes.
The way I see this though is that you understood the statement clearly but just tried to invalidate his answer because you don’t like how he answered it. You don’t like iPhone. You own an iPhone or an iOS device but you just can’t stand people who brag about their iPhones.
I don’t know exactly where the hatred is coming from but you have to live with it. There is just too many things to like about the iPhone or iOS in general. By the way, I am an Android user too and things that I like about Android are widgets and notification implementation. Hate it whenever I swipe to the next page of apps, one app accidentally opens. That’s all! Thanks mate! :)
Emman says:
Any idea how much will this transformers will cost once it reaches our shores?
Pinoy Persuasion says:
“Asusa” “Transformers” ahahaha, hay buhey…
Haroh says:
As per the ASUS branch here in Davao, it will be available at Php 29,995. You have to pre-order it though.
Messie says:
It should be around $450 w/o the keyboard right? Sana tulad din ito ng Apple who can pretty much sell their stuff at a standard price across the globe.
Messie says:
Having checked some articles (one of which is here at yugatech) 23k ang w/o keyboard while 30k ang meron. Is the additional 7k worth it?
Name: IC DeaDPiPoL says:
the keyboard also pack an additional battery pack so it seems worth it.
7k for that?! says:
wait, 7k for the keyboard and battery is worth it?
7k.. really?
usb keyboard + power pack = less integration but much cheaper
i love the idea and i’m sure people will buy it anyway but seriously, the word to describe that dock would not be “worth it”
Messie says:
I am still hoping that this will come at a more reasonable price. lets say 20k w/o keyboard, and 25k ang w/ keyboard. If ganito ang price, i might get one. Big let down and 30k price tag IMO.
Messie says:
Ngek. bakit kaya naka auto link and word na “pri.ce” na tag for moderation tuloy iyung comment ko because of excessive link siguro.
dre says:
What?!?! Another delay! Move ng move yung date from mid June to mid July. Now it’s end of July. Next they’ll be saying 1st week of August or mid August. I was really excited pero nawalan na ako ng gana.
Ry says:
hahaha!! Napabili na nga rin ako ng SGT P1010 dahil sa super tagal neto eh. Opportunity Cost lost for them :P
ice says:
The asus pad sells around 1700SR here in KSA around 19900php.good deal, and the build of the unit is very good.I’ve read reviews about this device and they said that it’s the cheapest android tablet available; cheaper than acer iconia
Jonaflormicfren says:
Very nice, I like the idea and the style.
Jepotski says:
