asus eee pad transformer is a better device in almost every respect than the xoom.
if those are your only two options, replace it. i personally think there are better tabs out there, but the eee pad is great

I think ill exchange it for a laptop . I do love the size and all, but I do alot of work online I think a laptop is a better choice for me. For quick things I can always use my sensation.

the thrive is one of my favorite honeycomb 10" tabs. Battery/bulk may be disadvantages, but toshiba's software is wonderful and the full USB and HDMI ports are great.
If you can exchange it for an Iconia A500/A501, that would be your best shot! Same CPU, same Tegra 2 video, 32 GB internal memory, GPS, BT, WiFi, 3G (for the A501), long battery life ~ 10-11 hours browsing, micro HDMI port, micro USB port AND my personal favorite - regular size USB, so you can plug any USB keyboard (wired or cordless) and benefit from both worlds - tablets and laptops.

Im planning on buying a tablet for entertainment use as well as school stuff. Right now I'm deciding between the Xoom, the transformer (not the prime, too expensive :/) and MAYBE the iconia a500 but most likely either of the first two. My question is are there any glaring bugs or issues on the transformer that make it inferior?
Got it for the same reason as you and as a 16 year old kid, its perfect along with the keyboard. I rarely use my laptop now and I don't regret buying and ics update is coming soon

I don't think I would buy the keyboard with it. Personally I would just use a laptop if needed.

I've had absolutely zero issues with my TD101. And now that ICS is rolling out to the USA starting tomorrow it'll only get better.
Only thing that drives me nuts sometimes is the slow browser on my OG Transformer. Although everyone who has gotten ICS on their transformer say that ICS made their browser very very much faster. So once I get ICS I'll have no complaints
Also, the reason I went with the Asus transformer is their awesome track record for being very fast with pushing updates! And with the update coming tomorrow, they've proved themselves about that fact

Is it worth getting even if I don't get the keyboard?
Im also wondering, for those that have it, does the screen have any responsiveness issues? I heard the xoom had better sound as well

I don't have the keyboard, and I love it, although if you're gonna be doing typing, the keyboard is definitely a plus/must. With extra storage capabilities, and more battery life, it's well worth the money.
If you have any responsiveness issues, there's an app you can download, lurking somewhere hhere in the forums that'll fix it well. Never had a problem myself though. With sound, it's definitely not gonna be like a stereo system, but it's fine for watching videos by yourself or with someone else, even just some simple music playing for background noise. Sometimes, I accidentally cover the speakers while holding it, since they're on the side, but that may just be me on that one.
ok right now my opinion has switched in heavy favor of the transformer. my worse fears were the touch screen being buggy, audio quality being shoddy and horrible light bleed issues. the touch screen issue apparently is resolved by installing that one app in this forum, audio quality doesnt seem like that big of a deal now that i think about so now im just worried about light bleeding. how common is it? I plan on buying a refurbished model from either ebay or amazon from manufacturers, does that increase my risk of light bleed?

Sounds like you're talking about the prime because my transformer has no problems with it

Asus Transformer. Proud owner of the tablet and keyboard dock. I Was bouncing back and forth between Asus and Samsung tablets but ended up choosing the Asus and couldn't be happier.
Transformer is still a good buy. With the new update, development is starting to come back. Hopefully we'll see a cm9 nightly soon. I still use my galaxy nexus more. That's just me though.
Only con is that, transformer lags on 720 mkvs even on dice player and mx video player. Keyboard dock lags as well. For me that is

i ended up buying the transformer confidently thanks to everyone for their helpful opinions. should be arriving by Wednesday or so. last final questions:
hows ics for those that updated?
i cant seem to recall where i found that link that helps improve touch screen responsiveness does anyone have it saved?
i plan on buying a dock sometime down the line but until then i want to keep it in a case. whats a good case i should go for? im assuming cases are useless as soon as i buy the keyboard right?
When I'm outputting HDMI to the TV at my grandparent's house (a 720p TV), it doesn't display correctly. Does anyone know how to control the HDMI settings? There's only 3D settings in the system settings

Try adjusting the TV set instead.

What exactly do you mean by doesnt display correctly? Is it cropped, stretched, etc.

There should be some settings on the TV - I am not sure about the TV you are using, but on my older 720p Panny Plasma, there is a 1080p option to chose, and then the TV will downscale it to its native format (720p). My guess is the TV is set at 720p or something else, and actually should be set higher if possible, and then it will downscale accordingly.
i have t 1080p tv and when i connect my ASUS Transformer Pad infinity TF700T to the tv at first it shows a 16:10 mirror of what I have on the tablet then when i go to the settings all the way down to the HDMI settings, it changes the output to a full screen 16:9 without the status bar on the tv and on the tablet the wallpaper moves up.
if i run a game or browsing the web its full screen on the tv without the status bar 1080p with 60 FPS.
by the way the 3d works great on the tv and i will make a video showing how good it works

Worked for me as well, but works even better on my TV since I'm back home (just bought a nice new 32" Vizio LED HDTV that can actually do 1080p).

There was a setting in the prime that allowed you to crop or fit the image to the tv. I just doing think Asus thought about adding it yet.

Yeah there was a setting on the Prime, that was added ever several updates following it's launch I was disappointed to see the Infinity not have this same setting seeing how it's suppose to be ahead of the Prime on features.

This irks me as well. My Prime looked great on both of my HD tv's. The infinity on the other hand not so nice. I hope the infinity receives the same settings update that the prime received.

I think the infinity's natural affinity p) with a compatible hardware dock gives it immense potential, not just for work but for gaming as well. Has anyone found any way to use the keyboard for games, much like on a laptop or pc? I tried it out on gta3 since it was supposed to be a direct pc port but only the arrow keys worked, not wasd keys. Anyone has any idea how to utilize the keyboard hardware for gaming? I believe gingerbread was the first to bring native support for hardware controllers and the such, so I think it's definitely possible.

Yeah, this would be awesome. Being able to use a mouse and keyboard while playing shooters (online) will give a ridiculous advantage, so perhaps it is for the best that it does not seem to be possible. For single player it should be available though, I guess.
I do not know if it is possible but I would also like to know if I can use my mouse and keyboard while playing, would be sick!

I am thinking about upgrading from the transformer prime to the infinity. Are there many apps that take advantage of the infinity screen resolution of 1920 x 1200.

Short answer: no. Longer answer: there are not that many apps that take into account the HD resolution natively, but the diffeence with lower resolution screens, such as the Prime's, is abundantly clear, even on the home screen. When I'm reading a pdf file, say, or while watching a movie that's not downcoded too much, it's great as well, and a difference of night and day compared to the TF300T of a colleague.
The difference is big on any website or any app that displays text for that matter (email, readers, you name it). The text us clear and crisp, makes reading so much better.

Hi
Currently on cleanrom 3.1, no data2sd. Overall tablet working well ... but when using the google music android app .... the refresh and display of local music can take over a minute if I've not used it for a while.
Anyone else experiencing the same .... or suggestions for a fix ...

Yep known problem with the way Google Music works. Either you'll have to live with it, reduce the amount of music or move to another music app.
Thanks for the quick response. Real shame as i love the ui!

Yeah me too. At one point I had 60+ albums on there but couldn't stand the 'refresh' everytime I opened it. Now I keep maybe 8 or 10 and it is a lot better.
Maybe google will figure out how to do better media storage caching at some point. The gallery suffers from the same issue as does the google books app and magazines and so on ....
One thing though .... trying this on my samsung galaxy s 2 .... no lag with refresh at all .... with around 50 local albums. Running latest res.remix/4.2.1
Would be interesting to know how device specific this is...
