The Eee pad transformer does look to be the best Android tablet to date and a good price, the Xoom and the Flyer are just stupid money for what they are, especially with the iPad2 starting at £399. The transformer offers something different with the attachable keyboard, I know you can get a seperate keyboard for the iPad and such, but the way it docks with the screen is a plus and it has another battery in it. The only thing I don't like about the transformer is no standard USB slot on the tablet itself, it's a proprietary connector on the tablet. No 3G either, but that doesn't bother me, just tether it to a phone. OS is supposed to be buggy at the min, but that will be sorted and I'd still prefer it with bugs than the iPads boring iOS...ZZzzzzzzz

If I had some spare cash, I'd buy one. My brothers ordered one so will have a look when it comes.

I tried the xoom and the asus next to each other, asus was better and considerably better than my Ipad (1), I am ready for a new injection of tech but not sure what to go for....macbook, macbook pro or tablet......

Do you have a Mac now? If not go for that it'll improve your iPad experience. I couldn't buy a tablet without a SIM card slot, just wouldn't work for me but I have had a lot of luck with Asus products.

i have my imac 27" which is (so far) problem free, my dell xps laptop is really on its last legs and is getting far too hot not sure if i should go for the 13 or 15"....definitely will be getting one but priorities.... this looks ok for me but not seen a 15" in real life only a 13" http://store.apple.com/uk/product/FC...co=MjEwNTY4ODY

I have last years top of the line 15" and it's as good as you would hope. Looking back I should have bought a 13" and an iPad but got carried away on the order page.

How much is the optional keyboard?

Saint AAI

On the Asus?
It's £50 which is not cheap, but it does have an SD card reader, USB ports and an extra battery inside to try and justify it's cost. Brings the total cost of the package to just over that of the super sleek iPad2 (8.8mm thick!!).

JackClark

£50's pretty good, pretty sure a mate paid more that that for the Samsung one, and never uses it.

I picked up a transformer today. the keyboard hasnt been released yet, so ive got an order in for one. so far, so good.
Its got a fantastic screen with gorilla glass so it should last a while. the back is a textured plastic rather than the metal of the ipad, but i quite like it.
once the keyboards released it'll be perfect for travelling.

My brother's arrived on the 17th and has a keyboard? He bought it as a bundle, unless you mean the keyboard isn't available separately yet?

Seems like a nice tablet, didn't look at it for long though and my bro hasn't got any apps installed yet.

yea, i got one without the keyboard. then picked one up with a keyboard i'd say the keyboard transforms (see what i did there?) it from a brilliant tablet into a laptop replacement, as long as you're not into gaming, photo manipulation or number crunching. a seriously good peice of kit.
