BREAKING...Asus reveals Transformer Prime; world’s thinnest(8.3mm) & first quad-core Tegra 3 tablet Oct 19 AT 9:57 PM Sean Riley 24 Comments Asus reveals Transformer Prime; world’s first quad-core Tegra 3 tablet We caught a pretty good look at what we then called the Transformer 2 in the teaser video we showed you this morning, but a few hours can make all the difference as when Jonney Shih pulled the tablet out of his briefcase at the Asia D Conference he identified it as the Transformer Prime. It feels nice to have another Prime device around to talk about. The next generation Transformer keys around NVIDIA’s quad-core Kal-El processor. According to NVIDIA, Kal-El will provide not just a significant boost in performance, but by using variable symmetric multiprocessing it will deliver that performance using considerably less power. I’ve had pretty good experiences with the battery life on existing Tegra 2 tablets so I can only imagine the kind of battery life that Tegra 3 might be capable of offering. If you want a reminder of what Tegra 3 is capable of you might want to rewatch this video that NVIDIA put out as a demo. We don’t have the full complement of specs yet, but Shih did share a few additional details. The Transformer Prime has a 10.1-inch screen and is just 8.3mm thick, that’s a far cry from the 12.9mm of the original. Like the original Transformer it isn’t going to skimp on ports and will offer a mini-HDMI along with a full USB port. As we saw in the teaser this morning it will of course offer an updated docking keyboard for a more complete computing experience. We’re not 100% certain whether the tablet will be running Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich at launch, but all signs seem to point to the latter. When asked whether we would see tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich before the end of the year he responded, “perhaps sooner.” Considering the Transformer Prime isn’t scheduled for it’s official announcement until November 9th that would leave a very narrow window for an upgrade if this were to launch with Honeycomb. It’s also worth noting that NVIDIA has repeatedly mentioned that they have worked closely with Google to be ready for the release of Ice Cream Sandwich. Asus ended up with a bigger hit than I think anyone initially imagined with the original Transformer and with the Transformer Prime they look to be really stepping into the limelight. This device will feature absolutely top of the line hardware and by all appearances could be the first tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich. The Transformer Prime was certainly the highlight, but you might remember that Asus also has a tablet/phone hybrid concept that they showed off last May call the Padfone. Well they have confirmed that it is going to become a reality in early 2012 and it will launch running Ice Cream Sandwich. So are you ready to make your next Android device an Asus? Gallery

iPhone 4S: What Happened to the Battery Life? 10/12/2011 @ 12:38PM \|16,607 views 5 comments, 0 called-out forbes.com An interesting question asked about Apple‘s new iPhone 4S. What has happened to the battery life? Most of the features and battery lives (ie, the different times using WiFi, 3G, talk time and so on) are the same or higher than earlier versions of the iPhone. However, the time on standby seems to have declined. Here’s a puzzle: where, or how, did the iPhone 4S drop 100 hours’ standby time? According to official figures on Apple’s site for the phone, it has a standby time of 200 hours (that’s 8 days and 8 hours). That’s a long time. But it’s much less than the 250 hours quoted for Apple’s first effort at its own phone, the iPhone in 2007 – and it’s far less than the 300 hours given for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. (See the iPhone comparison page on Apple’s site.) Quite what is causing this no one is quite sure. It could be simply that with a dual core chip there’s more power being used at rest. Or perhaps the Siri voice assistant takes up power: maybe even there’s a glitch in the OS which will be fixed soon enough. One further idea that might be floated: everyone knows that you don’t in fact get claimed battery life out of anything so perhaps we’re just being told something closer to normal usage rather than the lab conditions under which such things might have been measured in the past?
