your right Asus wasnt looking to make and market an ipad killer, they set out to make a well functioning tablet out of the box. something samsung,motorola,dell,acer,hp,notion ink has notdone.
Currently all of them needed major software or firmware work to get "promised" features to work. hopefully 2nd & 3rd generation tablets work better.

i seriously don't think that the others haven't made a good tablet, it just they haven't made a "cheap" version of their tablets. asus wins by making the tablet $200 less than the cheapest xoom.
the tf does have an ips screen, the build quality takes a hit judging from posts at xda and from the two i owned. but at $399, you can overlook some things - i couldn't. not everyone has the problems posted and also not everyone will notice the problems if they do have them, or they might not care.
from my experience so far, i feel the xoom is the best of the tablets at the moment. the screen on the xoom is "good enough" in most cases - people can overlook excessive light bleed in the tf, but can't stand that they can't look at their xoom at 170 degrees
. the xoom's build is much sturdier, the screen is more responsive, it gets brighter, has a microUSB port for transferring from a standard cable, better audio fidelity and better speakers that are balanced correctly, only $100 more than the 32GB version of tf...
the working sd card slot on the tf is supposedly a hack, which you notice when you mount the device. the sd card is a folder w/in the device's mount point in windows and you don't really get to see the space available. google admitted that HC hasn't implemented the SD slot yet.
now i know some of my statements are opinions, but the quality control on the tf is pretty much known to quite a few. if asus had tightened up there i'd still have my tf. i'm quite jealous of those have perfectly built units and are currently enjoying their transformers.
