Are you keeping this one?
I am definitely keeping mine. What a great device. I have my doubts before buying, but now I feel like a kid with a new toy. I was concerned about certain issues, but I can live with them:
- The light bleed is there, but it doesn't bother me. It's not as intense as I feared. I only notice it when the screen goes dark in a dark room. The screen is so gorgeous I can easily forgive a little shortcoming.
- I think one speaker might be louder than the other on my unit. Again, I don't care. The speakers are so weak (probably worse than the average netbook speaker, or at least equally lousy, which is not surprising considering the size of this thing) there's no way I am going to listen to music or watch a movie without headphones. The speakers are fine for casual gaming, but that's it. With headphones the sound quality is acceptable but nothing to write home about. As an MP3 player the TF is underwhelming.
- The plastic body seems rigid enough. It's true it doesn't come close to the iPad or Xoom build quality, but on this kind of device the most fragile part is always the screen.
Anyway, I am having lots of fun discovering the features of my TF. It's a pleasure to use. It's probably too big to be a recreational reader, but I use it constantly to read work-related stuff.
My major gripe is the market store. My problem is not the lack of apps, but how difficult it is to find the really good ones.
Well, I have to go, so I'll edit and complete this post later.
