It is on sale now at Target, though it is a preorder. But the price seems good.

I have been debating about getting one since it sold out, and the $40.00 off + 5% back made the decision. Now I just have to sit back, wait "2 to 4 weeks", and look around for the keyboard dock. Eric |

I've read bad things about the connector, Personally I'd rather do with a wireless interface between the keyboard and tablet, with a little tablet holder on top of the keyboard. Although you'd be giving up the extra battery in the keyboard??

I love the idea of a BT keyboard so if this is better I would love to know from anyone who can confirm a nice fast BT keyboard. Otherwise I will go with a hard dock in whatever slate PC I end up with. |

If you can handle the extra weight and want a real PC, a convertible tablet PC is not a bad choice. I use mine as a computer during the day and a tablet in the evening.

I own the TF and the dock and it has taken the place of my much larger laptop. It easily handles all my word processing and research. In tablet mode it's my primary reading device, as the stinkbugs are too numerous here to spend quality time outside. Press Display (for newspapers) is great. The screen is so clear and just big enough. You still have to click on the article but you can easily read by zooming in. The screen is probably the best of any of the current 10" Android tablets.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my Kindle as an eInk reader but Android tablets are capable of competing. |

Well I have some first impressions from my new 1/2 TF or Eee Pad (no Dock yet).
First, first impression "Hey! Why did Newegg send me an empty box?" "Maybe it's just the Micro-SD card?, but why the big box?" This thing is really lighter than I expected. Second, first impression "I can use it as a trailer mirror on my pick-up." Do screen wipes come in a large economy size? But, the finger prints don't seem to show when the screen is lit up. Third, first impression "What gives, this doesn't work anything like my XP desktop." This Honeycomb 3.1 is going to take some getting used to. There does seem like a lot it can do, but there is still the "old dog, new trick" issue to overcome. I have the feeling that I will like it better than the Win Mobile 6.1 on my PDA, once I get used to it. Forth, first impression "This is one heck of a WiFi workhorse!" It definitely had no problems from anyplace, in my admittedly smallish place, or at anytime over some extended use. I can't wait to see how it does when I get a Wireless DLNA setup going. (Parts on Order) Fifth, first impression "Google rules this thing." Not sure that is good or bad yet. Sixth, first impression "Some Liberal collage student must have programmed this thing, before they sent it to me!" A major overhaul of the selections made, is in order. It's not just the music and YouTube, there are all kinds of things this thing is able to access and present for your perusal, most an old fogy like me had never encountered before. It may not be all the device's fault, I don't think NRAnews even has an Android App, yet. Seventh, first impression "The GPS works great and is very well integrated into this thing." Google certainly has had their hand in this, the Latitude App is especially neat with finding things around your location or any location you want. Eighth, first impression "WOW..It really plays my high density Main profile SD H.264/AVC well!" Not all devices can keep up with these .mp4 files. Ninth, first impression "Kinda odd to hold." Not something specific to this device, just the form factor itself. It's been a long time since I carried a clipboard around and it's something like that. Tenth, and last, first impression "Some kind of case, or slip cover might be in order." That large screen just looks like an accident waiting to happen. Once I get the Dock, that probably won't be an issue. That's all, now back to my drawing board for that solar charging slipcover case. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 06-10-2011 at 12:08 AM. |
