The Best Buy I went to acted like I was crazy expecting anything new to be in the stores - of COURSE it's "online only" for a couple weeks, and sold out online as well.

Since I had an expiring $70 Best Buy Reward Zone coupon, I ended up getting the Acer A500 instead. Sorry ASUS, can't wait forever.

Think that this is a stupid move by Asus. People who have waited for something like this are just going to give up waiting (Beacuse who is to say this won't happen on next shipment?) and buy an iPad :)( ) or the A500.

[citation][nom]gidgiddonihah[/nom]2nd week of May????? I wait that long and I have to wait three weeks plus shipping time? How could Asus be so woefully unprepared?[/citation]
Well, they underestimated demand obviously. Also, since so many of these tablets share parts they compete for time at the component manufacturers and Apple likes to use its deep pockets to make sure their production lines get priority, making it harder for competitors.

Who gives a crap that it doesn't have 3g? We have WiFi hotspots like every 10 feet now. I'd rather it NOT have 3g. Saves me money.

You don't complain that your laptop doesn't have 3g, why would you on a tablet like this?
