I prefer 7-inch. I think 7-inche is perfect for Android tablet running Froyo, and maybe Honeycomb. For 10-inch or more tablet, I would rather it runs the full OS like Win 7.

I agree. I have a Sony Z series laptop which gets pretty much the same battery life as a tablet and is just as portable but still has i7, dual grafx and quad SSD. In most situations I can't live without a full-blown laptop as I run several VMs.
I have had a galaxy tab for a while now and have used it a lot more than I thought I would. The only reason for this is because (unlike laptops and large tablets.), you can stick it in your pocket if you need a spare hand.
The only problem with the galaxy tab is that it runs froyo so there are only a few apps which make good use of the larger screen. If it ran honeycomb, I reckon it would be perfect. I am still awaiting a firm commitment from HTC to deliver a honeycomb update. It would be a crying shame if they didn't release it for the flyer.

It's seem the official price has now been released and that it'll set you back 500 UK pounds BEFORE tax. That's a bit excessive to be honest... I'll let someone else bite the bullet and report on it.

3G or Wifi? May keep my old rhodium for bluetooth / wifi tether and to use as a phone, would be nice to use the flyer for texts though
Wondering if it will be locked like the Incredible S (I think, saw something on Engadget). May take a month or so to develop a H-SPL or Android equiv

Getting the 3G version as I have a 10Gb/month SIM card which will be homeless once I sell the Galaxy Tab
Im sure you will be able to use it as a phone. If you buy the SIM free version, I can't see why they would remove the dialer etc.
Re the bootloader - being a HTC device, there should be plenty of devs here who keen to hack it and there are plenty who are up to the challenge.

I was thinking about pickin up a Xoom WiFi today but now that I see theres no custom roms its not even worth it I dont think...

LOL, im going to just swap it out for my gTab and hope my wife doesnt realize it LOL
I guess the Xoom is a bust because of the lack of SD Card means no recovery partition or custom roms. Plus theres no Honeycomb source yet so no HC roms. Bummer! I guess my gTab will last until the transformer is opened up
Both the Xoom and the Transformer trump the gTab in pretty much every category except price and tinkerability (if that's even a word). So if they were all the same price, I'd go for the Transformer, mainly because of the screen type.
Here's my variation on the original question:
GTablet = $285
Transformer = $500
Xoom = $600
transformer. Getting tha cash and waiting for the relase in us.

this should put things in perspective.
Yeah I'd like one of the newer honeycomb tablets but not for close to 2x the cost.
If the Transformer is locked down it loses a lot of it's luster too.
The gTab is a good device that gets better when you realize how flexible it is. I am willing to bet that if Google officially released the source for Honeycomb we'd be running it already, even if it's 1/2 the price of similar tablets. (this is probably one of the reasons why Google isn't releasing the source for Honeycomb)
Nah, not paying $500 for the Transformer. $400 is tempting if tax isn't involved.
What's funny is, a week ago I would've, and was going to, pay $600 for a wifi Xoom.

I have yet read a preview that went in that sort of detail, most of the previews have been pretty high level.. ie: it has a screen! that works with touches! and it's a tablet! etc etc
I hope it's not locked down because I've always been an Asus fan and the price looks reasonable
xoom
I would go with a xoom if they were the same price. partly for the screen, but also for honeycomb. In 6-12 months there will be a lot more apps for it and will be the norm. IMO.
I'd have to go with the transformer easy..
The screen, two usb ports, sd card, doesnt it even have a card reader?
That along with the keyboard attachment, which increases battery to up to 16 hours.
All that, and it shouldn't be locked down like the moto.
The Asus Transformer is $400, not $500. And the dock is only $150 adds another 9 hours or so of battery life.

Noone knows pricing for sure. All we know is that there will be a 16gb Transformer and 32gb one. They should be $100 difference in price. The 16gb transformer would be the price point to compare to the gtablet.

You missed one word in the title: New Accessories NOT coming
ASUS has no intent of releasing accessories that reduce dock sales. This is a fraud and untrue just like everyone else selling vapor on the internet.
If you buy these you are VERY naive, because no one in the WORLD has ever demoed one of these items. Selling these items is a 1st class fraud.
ROFLMFAO.
Well the power adapters are already available so why not other accessories?

No, I am not bitter whatsoever. I refuse to accept the lies.
ASUS is completely unprofessional in their TF101 accessory manufacturing and consumer marketing, except AC adapters & cables. I prefer not to give a list of examples why and waste my time.
Accessories to not fall off the assembly line. There are manufacturing dates, based on a business process, and either availability dates or delays and problems. However, ASUS is acting unprofessional because they provide no availability dates nor mention of delays on the items mentioned by the OP.
It is easy to understand delays and problems since we are dealing with a new OS, e.g. Android v3.x and new host functionality. But, ASUS has no excuse whatsoever to say nothing. Especially since other tablet manufacturers are currently shipping equivalent components on the same Android OS levels.
The fact official ASUS resellers are selling these components without any factual ETA dates is fraud, plain and simple. You do not have to be bitter nor upset to recognize this fact. ASUS makes the choice to be unprofessional, or not.
Again, good luck with your pre-order.

Sorry I do not mean to offend. I agree the tablet works great. My complaint is for selling vapor without dates from ASUS, no matter if it is amazon.de.
I also agree there is no rush (especially with pre-order sales) because I expect, if the USB host and SD accessories are released with the *next* version of the tablet (Tegra 3), they will still work with our version tablets.
The first series of EEE PC had some internal redesigns that significantly effected compatibility of *internal* mini-PCIe components. The *external* TF101 components are a different case. I would be shocked if ASUS modified the design of their 40 pin proprietary cables.
In case no one noticed on amazon.de, the SD accessory has a picture showing it includes a USB host port, same price as USB host accessory.

Do you have some problem with people wanting other accessories? You like your dock. We get it. I want to watch movies when I'm wrenching in the garage, and the Display Stand takes up less space, and I don't want another $150 worth of fragile equipment sitting near all my power tools. You seem to think I should have to use the keyboard dock, whether I want to use the keyboard and touchpad, or not.
Also, Excalibur is preordering the USB adapters for $15.

I highly recommend you get the ipad2. At least there you won't have the option at all since apple only update once in a blue moon.
Jesus christ, people whine about everything. Just get ipad 2 and get it over with. There, you won't ever have to think about update, since apple rolls out an update a year or something. Asus, on the other hand, rolls out a major update a month, and we still get people like you whining nonstop.
Same price in the Netherlands as on Amazon
So 32Gb has to be purchased in a bundle with the docking station. I hope not in the US.

I might choose not to use the Asus keyboard/dock. I already have other keyboard options that should work. If there was another Kal-el / quad processor tablet available, even the Archos G9, I'd consider that. If the Prime ships for $500 I'll try it and see if I really need the keyboard/dock (with USB...)
I hope that answers your question.

Because if I need to write something on the tablet I will use Swype. It is almost as fast as a keyboard for me (and I'm a fast typer).
For anything that needs a keyboard to write with I have my desktop computer.
I just have no need for a dock, that is not the way I want to use the Prime.
And really no other tablet competes with the Prime yet.
But sadly it seems they don't sell it separately with the 32GB version at least here in Germany.
I have just preordered my Asus Transformer Prime at Amazon.com. Pricing $492.00

OH BOY here we go again. Hopefully this release will not generate the volume of posts that the current TF generated with people having 5-6 orders pending and cancelling them as one shipped of vendors cancelling orders when they could not get product.
I am more interested to see if it is going to be rootable. Doesn't really matter to me as I wouldn't trade my TF101 for the world.
not sure if i'm willing to spend another $200 to upgrade my 16GB to the new 32GB version. this thing is perfect right now. also, i don't get why they won't make a 16GB model considering that majority loves the $399 price point.
Yeah, the only thing my tf101 doesn't do satisfactorily is play mkv's. I don't have the disposable income to get the new one just for that, when the alternate is running them through handbrake.
That and no root, which I require for VPN and SMB, I can wait.
They sure are sexy tho!
