Yeah 3G should be standard. Tethering a smartphone as a hotspot is good here and there but the it chews the phones battery so it's not efficient. With a tablets and it's larger battery 3G always on is so much better. I'ts a big loss that manufacturers are stering away from this. Fine if you're around hotspots all day in the big city in Europe but in Australia and in regional European areas there are no hotspots. AND a portable WiFi Hotspot is just something else to recharge so thats also inefficient.

Regarding the Transformer Prime 3G rumors and Transformer 700 confusions, we want to clarify to our customers:

In the wake of recent reports in the media regarding the development of a Transformer Prime Android tablet with on-board 3G, ASUS would like to take this opportunity to state that these reports are erroneous and no such product exists on our current roadmap

> In reply to Aku Poyo @ 2012-04-04 06:28 from ibgy - click to readThats one of the main reasons they made this updated version. The metallic backing caused poor wireless and GPS. The TF700T has a metal back too, but it includes a plastic strip at the top that allows the antenna to have a clear line of sight.

Without 3G or 4G your tables are useless. Few mounts ago i decided to purchase Prime but without 3/4G i wouldn't do that. I stay and waiting to see TF700T and if it's again without 3G or 4G I'll decide to change brand ASUS froever becouse ASUS not listening users wishes and buy Samsung or Motorola. I think you will lose a lot of your customers and lot of potential future customers. So think wisely.

Asus it is time to listen to the customers.

It is not everybody is desperate for it but some people do need 3G. I want to buy this for my parents who travel between locations so WiFi is not an option so is tethering.

I do not want to end up with another Samsung product who has become a snob thinking that they premier vendor but leave their customers on long contract without software update.

Come on Asus it cannot be that hard to see that 3G tablets have a market.

There is no need of 3g in a tablet,just share your phone 3g connexion with yout tablet via wifi. How many guys have really need a 3g contract for the pad in addition tothe phone contract?
