Asus vs Hasbro: Will The Real Transformer Prime Please Stand Up?

As I've been hearing from many of you, yes the Asus Transformer Prime has been SLOWLY coming in with it's pre-orders.   I have already met people that got their pre-orders in from Best Buy and Amazon so they are out there just hard to find right now.  Unfortunately one reason why it's been having difficulties being released is literally in the name.  It would seem that Hasbro, which brought use the Transformers cartoon characters, has filed a lawsuit against Asus for using the name "Transformer Prime" because they feel it is too closely related to the Transformer Optimus Prime, one of their main characters.  It would seem Hasbro is trying to put a halt to all sales of the tablet until this matter is rectified in either Asus changing the name of the tablet or Asus paying Hasbro a nice pay day.  I'm going to keep all my not so nice comments to myself but what do you think?
