After a very brief comparison back in May, I had concluded the A500 display was almost as good as the Transformer.

After testing for an hour today at Best Buy, I must recant. No comparison, since the Trans is IMO much better. Just wish it had a USB host port :( I was holding out for the Thrive, since the A500 has screen-on and weak wifi issues, and the Trans has no USB host on tablet.

Now that I am hearing mixed reports about the Thrive's display, I will have to wait and see for myself.

Added:

In spite of no USB host, I may end up with the Transformer. I appreciate the KB provides it, but I do not want one for a tablet, nor the $150 extra cost.

Considering Asus stated they make no money on the tablet, but are using the keyboard to make a profit, that kind if explains why no USB host on the tablet ;)

Nice tab and display, none the less. Sadly, back to my gTablet for a few more days :(

I think I will end up with the Transformer. The display is so pretteeeeeee'.
 
I'm finding my screen a little too glossy. :-)

Honestly I love the tablet but got it because of the keyboard option. You could always put the keyboard on a desk somewhere, connected to USB whatever, and just plug the tablet into it when you need to transfer stuff.
 
screen is a lil shiny...but ive got a protective film on the way that apparently stops too much glare and reflection, not sure if it'll take away from the SHARPNESS of the screen, time will tell, will keep you guys posted when it arrives and i try it out

but the keyboard is the biggest seller by far, that and coupled with the price point, think the tablet's a bit of a bargain, considering you'd pay the same price for a phone?
 
I'm on the exact same boat, I was going to buy the dock later but now it appears everyone is only selling bundles!

Even worse is that today was the first time I had a hands-on with the dock and it's amazing, I want it so bad right now.
