Just wondering if you have to choose between Asus Eee Pad or HP touchpad? I have just bought touchpad as an impulse purchase, and it does email and browsing pretty well, and that's it. Not a hugh app collection, and there are some intense effort to get Microsoft share working with overclock kernel upto 1.9 Ghz.
I have Viewsonic and HP Touchpad, and always wanted EE Pad, but using Viewsonic version of Honeycomb, touchpad's WebOS is so refined, but lack apps.
Any thoughts?
I think there is some dev groups that work on a honeycomb version for the touch pad so maybe u should wait
And about the eee pad, overall great tablet (and i didnt did root yet)

Thanks. I do have working Honeycomb on my Viewsonic Gtablet, and It works great, but still don't have optimized kernel. I have just started using the touchpad, and I am in love with card system in OS. So ahead of everybody including Apple and Google OS in my opinion.

I have a Touchpad and can relate to your comparison with the Viewsonic. The TF 101 is a great first tablet while the Touchpad is small, light and limited. I am glad to have both, but favor the TF101 for all it's capabiities.

My biggest issue with the Android in Honeycomb/Viewsonic is that email client for Exchange is slow and downright pitiful. I wonder if Exchange clinet is smooth as Touchpad on TF101?
The Touchpad owns it in build quality, sound quality, and OS especially at $99 or $149. I had a Transformer and dock for 2 months and used the crap out of it but sold it because the web browsing was frustrating among other things. Got lucky too and got $539 out of it on Ebay so hardly lost anything. Then ended up getting 5 touchpad at the firesale prices and sold 2 on Ebay for $290 and $250 then another at cost and kept 2 so I basically got 2 free TouchPads.
It's all about the apps, really. Sure, webOS is a nice mobile OS, and I used a launch day Pre for about 18 months before giving up on ever seeing legitimate app support on the platform. The TouchPad is a decent enough device for $99, but you can't really compare it to the Transformer--one's a dead platform, another is just starting out.
I can do much, much more on Android than on webOS. So while the TouchPad makes for a cheap (at the fire sale price) browsing and email machine, I'd not plan on doing much more with it.
My touchpad will be arriving next week. I seriously doubt it will replace my Transformer, but probably my iPad 2 (which I can then dedicate exclusively to games). We will see...
Touchpad vs Transformer
I bought a TP in the 'firesale' and have been very impressed by what it can do. But, and its a big but, I do see Android and my TF as the way to go. The HP machine is sitting in my livingroom. It is really handy just to be able to pick it up, read an email or browse to the news then put it down again. It also is a very good photo frame (logged on to my Flickr account). Not bad for £90.
But if I want to do something useful, like access Facebook, Google Maps, have a look at my schedule, or whatever, then I reach for the TF. With access to the android market and all the apps it has, it is so much more useful.
So,, they can happily live together in my world.

I think the future will be full of tablets in one household... one to replace paper note pads, one to replace your phone (I use facetime on my ipad more than the regular phone when talking with my parents), one to replace a tv guide and remote control, one to replace recipe books, etc... if they come down to the $50 - $100 with minimal hardware specs, they can fill just about any "small tasks". Of course, we will always have our "main" device, which does many tasks, but the idea of having multiple devices to do certain things is a great idea. When I work, I use my TF for office stuff and my ipad for written notes, calculator or a second screen - beats the hell out of paper.

Thanks for everyone's input.. I think there is a place for HP Touchpad and Android Based Eee Pad in my living room. It is incredible OS in my opinion for browsing and email. I wish Android can adopt some of those card like features. incredibly smart.

before buying the TF please take a look at these 2 vids

this should be out before too long (hopefully by end of year--october is what people are saying). TF2 will get this and the price of the original TF will go down while TF2 will come in at $399.
For the price, the Touchpad. Can't go wrong with a tablet that can run CM7 and be overclocked to almost 2GHz for $99. I wish I could find one, every Best Buy in NYC is sold out

Looks bhawss. Maybe I'll just hold on to that $99, sell my TF to my dad (lol) and buy a TF 2 when it's out XD
The TF2 is already being delayed. I wouldn't expect it before Q1 of 2012.

most reports are saying a "month or a bit more" as reported from August. It was suppose to come out Aug 31st but since the Tegra 3 got delayed they are also delayed. Hopefully it'll be out by October - November.
Past experience tells me to not hold my breathe
Unless the TF2 is $399 or less, ASUS would be making a mistake releasing it in the next 6 months. The Android tablet market is not doing well at all and it would benefit manufacturers to keep their products in the market longer, but at a lower price. Tablets are not phones, manufacturers do not have to make ten models a year...

TF2 is suppose to be $399. TF did pretty well in terms of # of sales around 400,000 i believe. either way, TF2 is on the way!
hello, im planning to buy a tablet really soon and im wondering if i should get the Asus eee pad transformer, asus eee pad transformer prime, or the blackberry playbook. The blackberry playbook will be on sale for 199$ tomorrow so its the cheapest option i got. As well the transformer prime is at the other end comming in at 499$ and it wont be avalible for me untill a couple of weeks from now. then there is the asus transformer which is at 399$ and is adequate but will be obsolete once the transformer prime is avalible in the comming weeks. thanks
Don't buy the Playbook if you're worried about obsolescence. It's already there.
Heck, go for the Prime if you can afford it. But realistically, most people probably don't need four processors, although I hear the Prime crushes everything in graphics performance.
I doubt the non-Prime Transformer will be obsolete anytime soon.

I'd go with the prime, at this moment its the only tablet of its kind and will be a pioneer in the development of the android tablet OS (you'll be getting the updates and new stuff first), its gonna be around a LOT longer than your other two choices up there, so as well as performance your also paying for its longevity
I deciding on getting one of these tablets and not sure which one is better. Could you also list the pros/cons please?
Toshiba Excite 10. Asus Transformer pad TF 300-T. Ipad 2
Thanks for all help and tips.

the transformer it's the better one from those on the list, I think, but maybe the new ipad would be even better
The Asus Transformer line of tablets are really the tablets to beat on the Android side. The iPad 2 is good pick if you're well invested in the iOs ecosystem and things like animation and general UI smoothness are well done, but it's much more lockdown than Android.

if u dontmind about colour saturation better take motorola xoom it have 32gb internal memory and microsd slot ... camera 5 mp honeycomb tegrak
Transformer!
I would highly recommend any of the ASUS transformer tablets because ASUS is an excellent company/brand in all products that they make and they truly deliver on their tablets as well.
I personally prefer Android because you can do pretty much anything with it! iOS is meant to "just work", however that means you're VERY limited in what actually can work.
Generally with Android, if you can think it, you can do it (and as cheesy as it sounds, there's usually "an app for that" to make it easier).
Thanks guys. But now I need to decide on a PC.
Asus amd athlon II X2 processor essentio computer
Lenovo pentium processor ideacentre
Asus tablets are great, but they all lack the 3G option. Wifi only isn't much of a use when you plan to use your table on the move and everywhere. Consider this before you make your choice...
As for a pc, I wouldn't choose AMD even if it was the only choice.... More than ten years now in computer support, I have seen many ugly sights of AMD machines...
Lately it seems to work best Pentium processors, AMD seems to be running a little behind
Galaxy Tab 10.1

I would get the Asus in a heartbeat. The docking station alone make it worth it.
I've used iOS for years on iPhone and iPad and I would not going back there.
But that's just me
Tranformer pad is a good option but the new transformer line with 1080p screens is releasing soon so it may be worth holding out for a bit
Hi I'm also looking for a tablet,
the Asus transformer prime looks pretty good but it has no 3g right ?
Take Ipad 2, much better than android

I've had hands on with my friend's Asus and I was really impressed. Nothing bad to say about it and they resisted the temptation of screwing with the OS which is always nice.
...Asus Transformer (Infinity)! FTW!
I would take the iPad 2. I just think that iOs is, for now, better with tablets than android. But on android, Transformer is the best.
Motorola xoom or galaxy tab
Hello all,
I just sold my Acer Iconia A500 thinking that I don't need it anymore, but it looks that once you get a tablet you kind of become addicted of using it.
So I threw my eyes on an ASUS EeePad Transformer, but I am not sure I wanna buy this tab yet. Maybe you guys are willing to help me in taking a decision and offer me some good reason why should I buy it.
Thank you for your time.
Sebastian

Because your a GEEK? If you can, get one of the later model ones, that way you can have full jelly love. (not in a perverted way.) The ASUS Transformers are quite versatile and useful, beyond netflix and such.
I love mine and use it for a great many productive things. Inventory control, customer orders, faxing (both inbound & outbound). Wide screen GPS (I use Waze). Of course gaming and in tar webs.
They are pretty cheap and xda has a ton of devs that are still supporting it. TeamEOS' ROM is pretty solid. It's currently on 4.1.2 not to shabby. :thumbup:
