I wonder if the Transformer Prime laptop line is the same as Hasbro's where the super limited initial run is good, but the ones they release to the masses are crappy?

Remember back in December when we reported that Hasbro had sued Asus over their converting laptop tablet PC Transformer Prime? It would appear that Hasbro has lost this legal battle. According to SlashGear Hasbro's attempt to ban sales of the device were rejected by a US judge. Click here to read the full story.

From the judge presiding over the case:
There is nothing gimmicky about the Eee Pad Transformer or the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, nor can it be said that there is any similarity in the use or function between Hasbro and Asus’s products.

Totally unnecessary. Hasbro, save your money on lawsuit and give us better toys.

lol... I was actually kind of rooting for Hasbro on this one. Maybe not right to ban sales, but to force a name change seems reasonable to me. "Transformer Prime" is just too blatantly similar. But whatever, makes no difference to us at the end of the day.
