How I Got My First Android Tablet

The ASUS Transformer Prime arrived late in 2011 and really caught my eye and has become so popular that getting one takes some careful and frequent surfing. I tweeted about this site in the past, http://www.nowinstock.net/ that let's you track specific hardware inventory across the web in near real time. I was excited when I found this website. Later that evening, it happened. I got an alert that one was in stock somewhere. I got the alert at 6:24PM and had my online order placed at 6:27PM - Yeah!. I was excited when I got the confirmation email - I finally got myself a Prime! The next morning, I was checking my email account I use exclusively for online ordering, and found out that the vendor I had ordered the Prime from was out of stock. Within 3 minutes! So, I tried again and again until 3 weeks later I finally got, not one, but two! OK, now I need a case to protect it from mobile abuse. I found what I thought was the best option out there - a combination case and portfolio that even accommodates the keyboard. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006ULQPTI/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_3p_dp_1

Up next, my experience with the ASUS Transformer Prime.
