For a brief while the Asus Transformer Prime was mislabeled and available from Office Depot . When we checked today it showed "insufficient stock.'"
Amazon is taking preorders for the 64GB AsusTransformer Prime for $599 and stating orders will ship in 4 to 7 weeks. Amazon does not show any ability to preorder the 32GB Asus Transformer Prime. If this round of preorders is like the previous one, it may sell out. Best Buy which previously had some stock shows the Asus Trnsformer Prime "coming soon."
