Im saving the pennies, gonna get the Asus Transformer. Looks the mutts nuts with the keyboard dock, 15 hour battery!

yes i would recommend the above, but its so good its normally on back order

its just lightning fast and that battery does last as long as they say, it also takes usb/sd/mirco sd

Another vote for transformer. You should be able to pick them up for around £410. Even the big boss who is an apple fan and just picked up the iPad2 wishes she had got the transformer instead now. TBH, with her money I suspect she probably will pick one up in addition to the ipad.

Make your decision on the basis of not encouraging the Apple corporation :Smokin:

What is the specs of that transformer, I noticed the IPAD2 has a dual 1ghz A5 chip, can the transformer match that ?

If it was me, I would go for the iPad 2.

Reason - there is a shedload more apps, and it still the number 1 for application development due to the amount of apple devices out there.

if it was me i would stay away from the ipad 2 or any of apple rubbish.

here a question for you who brought out the tablet before apple ( i will give you a hint it was not apple although they say they where the first)

Specs are here,

The only real reported issue is the speakers max volume is a bit low though there is a fix for it

Apple do normally get it right (excluding the dropped calls and the antenna issues with iPhone 4), but at the expense of outdated feature sets.

The reason apps usually appear for iOS first is because it is much more difficult to get on the app store than it is droid's MarketPlace. (Though that's not necessarily a bad thing...) However, that may change once devs see that 500,000 'droid handsets are activated a day.

My Mrs just got the Asus Transformer a couple of weeks ago. she chose it over the ipad2 which she wanted to get.

i had a little go on the asus and found it very quick but like the other person said the sound is low on it.

@oneman any chance you can let me know where i can get the fix for the sound

I have a Galaxy Tab and other half's mother has an iPad. iPad has a bigger screen but to be honest I found it too big for a mobile device. Couldn't really get on with iOS either. It works well but I much prefer Android. The screen is fragile on iPads too. Other half's mother dropped hers within a couple of weeks of having it and it now looks like crazy paving. Apple wanted a figure that wasn't far of the price of a new iPad to replace the screen.
