May not arrive in time for Christmas, so you should better think about a backup plan

After we pretty much thought that we got things nailed with the December 8 date we wrote about yesterday, now a new report about the Asus Transformer Prime places the tablet’s retail availability in the week of December 19.

Asus hasn’t confirmed this news, but we tend to agree with this date as it pretty much confirms what we have heard from our own sources regarding the availability of the Prime.

Furthermore, this latest report comes from none other than the popular hardware review website AnandTech, which has an impeccable rep when it comes to this sort of things.

Sadly, quantities are not mentioned anywhere, so we can’t say how many of the 350,000 Transformer Prime’s Asus plans to ship by the end of the year will arrive in the US.

So there you have it. If you wanted the Prime to arrive under your Christmas tree this Holiday season, you should better come up with a backup plan or Xmas may never be the same for you again.
