The chief reason I purchased the Asus TF was for the keyboard dock. Once joined the TF and dock are about the size of a netbook. Plus Asus listens to its customers. They've released patches for both pieces of hardware and the programmers read and occasionally respond on XDA.
Build quality is hit or miss. Mine has no issues and with the latest updates works better than any other Android device I've owned (and I've owned more than a few.) I know several people who received poorly built iPads but were able to exchange them for better ones.
So far none of the apps I've run on smaller screens look bad on the TF.
Reasons why Android tablets haven't sold as well include:
1. Not made by Apple.
2. Not marketed at all compared to Apple.
3. Price, at least the TF is a bit less than comparable 10" tablets. (You can't call the discounted Viewsonic gTab comparable because the screen is not nearly as nice as the TF's.)
