The transformer is available in Taiwan and in the UK for pre-orders, general UK availability on the 18th of April and soon after in the US/Canada so specs are finalized. Same goes for the slider which weights 886 grams and there are quite a few hands on if you re interested to know what it looks like.
How do the new tablets compare? All of them have a double core 1Ghz processor - usually Tegra 2 and 1 GB of ram, the iPad 2 is an exception with 512 MB. The android tablets will be running honeycomb and the ipad ios - so there's another difference here. Battery life is similar, screen quality more or less the same, exceptions are the ipad and the Asus tablets with their IPS panels. Have a look at the HTC flyer, you might like it.
