Transformer Price and Thoughts

[Mixyin]

Hi there,

I just need your opinions on the Transformer original. I might be able to get it with a dock and case for $350. Do you think that's a good price? Is it really as good as everyone says? Should I wait for newer tablets? (Budget is $500)

Thanks

I love mine!

The only thing missing are drivers for external DVD players/ writers, for 3g USB sticks, printers, et....
But those are problems with ALL android tablets.

Advantages from TF over other Android tablets
-keyboard
-battery in keyboard
-USB ports on keyboard
-extra row of function buttons on keyboard
-SD card slot on keyboard
-keyboard helps hold the tablet in just the right angle for webchats
-close the keyboard and it protects the tablet screen

Seriously, I get 12+ hrs of use of mine. Games, movies, etc... I type long emails on it, like this posting.

Other Androids might have better HDMI port ("regular") or Full SD on the tablet itself, but none have the keyboard.

And Android > Apple
-removable storage
-HDMI out
-widgets
