Wired Analysis.

This article is speculative due to the image and cryptic text provided by Apple.  The lack of the usual "Home" button on an Apple device as well as the size of the icon in relation to the users finger suggests a TV sized screen.  However, the implementation and function of such a device would be limited, most people don't want to have to get up to control their Television sets.  As far as functionality goes, I feel that it would represent an extremely niche market, personally, I would use one to expand my desktop, as most of my TV watching is internet based, and therefore I am in front of my computer more often than not.  There are, of course, the "Apple-philes" who wait on every word out of the Cupertino, California company.  I am not one of those, but due to the amount of people who are, I can see the device, even if it is a touchscreen TV, to be profitable.

This article/review is based on the premise of a device that seems to blur the line between tablet and smart-phone, while being the latter, it is considered to be too large to effectively fulfill that role.  Due to its smart phone abilities, it will more than likely cost more than larger tablets, and due to its size, will cost more than the smaller smart phones, with roughly the same capabilities as both.  This device, on the other hand, opens up another field for game development, the "tablet smartphone", combining the key qualities of both of these and while it is rather bulky for a smart phone, it is more portable than a tablet typically is.  I believe I am permanently on the "smartphone" wagon, however, none of the newer phones (I have a T-Mobile G2) have any significant advances other than OS version to draw me away.  In this aspect, I am waiting for a large breakthrough before I am excited to switch to a new device.

This article is rather dated, and I have read about this device previously, but reading about the exact features rekindled my interest in it.  The Asus Transformer Prime is a tablet device which is the first to use quad-core technology, putting it on par with some "Ultrabook" laptops.  Given my adherence to the Android operating system, and the fact that I was planning on purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Tab at some point in the near future, I was excited about Asus's new tablet and its capabilities.  This is another "seen em all" type deal, however, I feel that the increased computing power will again, further the capabilities and limits of devices with relation to gaming.
