Sorry to hijack this thread.
To get it back on topic...the asus transformer is great.
It is android, comes with a keyboard that it slots into so that it seems exactly like a netbook. It has wifi, gps etc but it does lack 3G, although it can be tethered to a phone. The single greatest advantage it has over the ipad (apart from the fact that it isn't apple) is that it has plenty of connections. There are usb ports on the keyboard and the pad itself has hdmi and a mini sd card reader. That makes it easy to get things on and off it, a real plus compared to the ipad. You can even plug an external harddrive into it.
The one I got hasn't missed a beat and I can open all my office docs on it, read books, browse the web, get my emails, play games, watch movies etc. It's also so much lighter than even my little netbook, which is really handy since I have to have it with me 24 hours a day.
But the thing I love most (and this would apply to the ipad as well) is the instant on and off. Unlike a normal laptop, which takes forever to open up if you just want to quickly look at something and then forever to close down, this thing is on as soon as I push the button and off just as fast. I have all the volunteer details, rosters, tuktuk timetables, class schedules, emails, spreadsheets etc on it and can pull them up in a second.
An added bonus is that, although it appears to be off, it is still actively seeking a wifi signal and as soon as it finds one it locks on and checks my emails etc. I have the passwords for all of the local cafes and places around here that are broadcasting wifi and as I'm walking around it is constantly checking and downloading my email as well as downloading torrents (or it would be if it wasn't illegal to do that
) each time I'm in range of a signal. Free internet!
