If you are anything like us here at Talk Android, you have eagerly been waiting for the release of a couple new Android devices, the Galaxy Nexus and The ASUS Transformer Prime. While I have great news for the later, I unfortunately have nothing for the former.

Earlier today, ASUS unveiled the Transformer Prime overview page and now Amazon is officially taking pre-orders for the tablet. Both the 32GB and the 64GB models are available in two colors, Amethyst Grey and Champagne. The 32GB model is going to cost you $492.20 while the 64GB version will run $584.22, both are slightly discounted from the suggested retail price.

In case you had forgotten, the Transformer Prime is not only ASUS's first quad-core tablet, but will most likely be the first Tegra 3, quad-core tablet to hit the market. It rocks a 10.1-inch Super IPS LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution that's protected with Gorilla Glass, has 1GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB internal storage, an 8MP camera that shoots 1080p Full HD video and will run on Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Not to worry because ASUS claims that an ICS update will arrive in the near future. There is still no telling when the device will be released but you can expect shipping to happen before years end.

Head on over to Amazon to pre-order the sweetest Android tablet of 2011.

He was a resident of San Diego California for ten years, lived beachside and sometimes wonders why the hell he moved back to Spokane. A multi-talented man, Stacy is a fabricator, an artist, a gear head, a tech junkie and at most, the disciple of Casanova. Growing up, he was always enthralled with electronics, gadgets and gizmos. Throughout his life he has had one, if not two, of every cool and new electronic device available. He began his smartphone experience with the original iPhone. After realizing it was more like theirPhone, he decided he wanted the ability to customize, so Stacy moved to the OG Droid and has been a loyal Android fanatic ever since. Moving through all of the top tier Verizon phones, he recently retired his Droid Charge in favor of the Galaxy Nexus, only to wonder what great device Samsung will come out with next. Stacy is a busy new homeowner in where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend and two dogs.
