With the rapid pace of the tablet market showing no signs of slowing, Asus CEO Jonney Shih pulled out the Transformer successor, apparently called the Transformer Prime, while on stage at the AsiaD Conference in Hong Kong today. The 8.3 mm thin tablet will be formally announced on November 9th, said Shih, and would feature NVIDIA's Kal-El quad-core SoC. The device has a 10" form factor like the original and while he didn't not specify whether it would be launching with Ice Cream Sandwich, he did say that we could expect Ice Cream Sandwich to show up in tablets before the end of the year. The tablet itself has USB and mini-HDMI ports, along with an SD card reader and a reported 14.5 hour battery. The new keyboard dock looks to aim for an even thinner duo than the original Transformer, and with those four (five) cores purring it should be a screamer.

Yes, you can use it on the original transformer for sure if you have the keyboard dock. The dock has USB ports which supports 3G modems with a bit of hacking. Also, ASUS has recently released USB host adapter for the transformer for people who need USB without the dock. It should work fine on that I am assuming, though I am not sure about that.
 
Specs look awesome but it sucks that it doesn't have 3G.It would be soo annoying to use an USB modem with an adapter or with the dock ! I was waiting for the Prime but I think I'll go for the Galaxy tab 10.1 as I need a truly mobile internet device.
