ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Gets a Quick Maintenance Update (Netflix Works)

The ASUS Transformer has gotten itself a pretty decent OTA update. Version 8.6.5.9 is said to have allowed people to use Netflix to its full capabilities, however it’s not going to show up in the market. You’ll need to grab the Netflix APK, but from there you should be on your way to streaming all your favorite content. The great part is that root isn’t required so everyone can get in on the fun. PS: those of you with docks should hook your tablets up to it as it too has gotten a bit of love in this update (though we’re not exactly sure what sort of love that is).

Separate stand and adapters show up for ASUS Eee Pad Transformer

Engadget has reported that individual adapters for the Eee Pad Transformer have popped up on Amazon Germany.  Laying down the $150 for a docking station certainly will make this device more like a notebook, but having a dock at both home and the office might be a pricy venture.
The individual USB and SD adapters are €19 ($27) each. There is also a stand with a USB port, SD slot, and a headphone jack that will run you €29 ($41). This doesn’t seem too costly to have a nice stand at your office where your tablet may not be used as much as home or vice versa.

The disheartening part is there may be a long wait. It’s listed on Amazon that these adapters will ship anywhere from one to three months from now. While I don’t think these individual connecters should replace a dock, it’s certainly a cheaper alternative if you can’t afford a dock in multiple places.
