Looks like windows 8 will be coming to the tegra 3 powered transformer prime despite all the doubters cries! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5BCkBB3epI

That doesn't seem real (looking at the comments).

Oh I've just got TF300 as well, not sure I'd install it though!

Dangerous · 30 May 2012 at 19:30

haha just noticed the date it was posted as well

Also if Windows 8 did come to the Prime surely it would be ported to the other Tegra 3 devices?

Only illegally, Windows RT (terrible name

) will only be sold to OEMs.

Ok Asus, stop spamming my wall with teasers

If those teasers turn out to be something like a transformer that dual boots windows 8 I would cry tears of joy, maybe.

This will be incredible if true! Android and W8 dual booting?!

Asus will be on to something massive if this turns out to be correct.

Yep my interest in the TF701 will re-double if this is true, maybe why they're not releasing it yet

This is interesting because a Nokia blog let slip at start of year at a win8 tablet release date of June.

Need to get hold of one, even looking at zoomstorm sl8 as a temporary win8 tablet.

Here we go. The Transformer prime + Windows RT (+ 1GB

) = Tablet 600

Screen Resolution fail, why not 1080p???

sarge78 · 4 Jun 2012 at 10:48

Tegra 3 can't handle it.

The Asus Tablet 810 looks okay. It's just a shame about it's 1366 x 768 resolution. Or maybe it is just because I am used to using high resolution devices, referring to Apple's third generation tablet in particular. I am still more than open minded about it though.

The device which runs both Android and Windows 8 seems to be the Asus Transformer AiO. I am a little disappointed at the size of it though. I was hoping it was going to be more like a normal sized (roughly 10") tablet. It could be interesting none the less.

Oh the Asus Tablet 810 will suck balls too (single core Atom + SGX 540) Edit: it could be the much better Z2580

Wait for more powerful, suitable chips like OMAP 5/Exynos 5 (or Exynos 4 + T604)
