Can’t wait to use your ASUS Transformer Prime? Well, here’s one good news that you might want to read.

Apparently, reports circulate online that the first Tegra 3 tablet is delayed due to weak WiFi signal, plus, ASUS is reportedly facing inventory issues resulting to pre-orders being cancelled by some third-party retailers including Amazon.
Bad publicity about the Transformer Prime, right? Well, ASUS is not into Apple-style silent mode and issued a statement. On Sunday, the emerging tablet computer company said that the Transformer Prime, or Transformer 2 is still on schedule — yup, still arriving on 19th, before Christmas day, and the statement dismisses the rumors that the tablet will not arrive this month.
On Saturday, a report posted by Mobile Syrup revealed that NCIX, a computer retailer in Canada issued an email claiming that the delay is due to WiFi issues, adding that due to the problem, the Asus Prime might not reach the stores before Christmas.
Mixed reactions from tech sites also appeared online. According to SlashGear, their demo unit “doesn’t experience any WiFi issues,” but Android Central said their unit does, “the Prime does have a bit weaker signal when a good distance from my router. The Android-centric site also added that compared to other devices like smartphones, computers and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Transformer Prime shows weaker WiFi pickup.
Majority of Asus Transformer Prime reviews say the new tablet is the best Android tablet yet, and some adding that it is the best tablet (beating the iPad).
